1978 Yellow Jeep Cj7 304cc V8 on 2040-cars

So your looking for a Jeep. What can I tell you about mine so you buy it? Well, for one are you worth selling to? Just by looking at the pictures you already know if this is something you can handle. For most people I would say no, you probably can't handle this. Stop reading now! Go back to your creature comforts, your heated seats, and your Onstar. This is not for you.
This is a Jeep for the man with soul. The man that thinks imports should be deports and American should be the standard in America. This is American! In fact the motor is a AMC 304 V8. (American Motor Corporation). Can't be more American then that. If your afraid of some rust this is probably not for you. This Jeep has been rolling through rain sleet sand mud and snow since 1978 and it still rolls on her 33" commuter crushers like a champ. If you plan on only using it to go to the local Starbucks save yourself the grief from me telling you to go kick rocks. This isn't the vehicle to put Weathertec floor mats in. What are you keeping clean? Dirty is the concern of weaker men. This baby is Rhino lined through out the cab with drain holes in the floor. Mud or blood. Just wash it out. When your bleeding blasting through some remote Baja mountains being chased by bandits because you just slept with the local drug lords daughter you haven't got time to kick the dirt off your heels before getting in. Drive through the carwash with the top down later preferably in the US so Montezuma stays in Mexico. I digress. I think you get the point. Soul my friends. Save the fear for when your in bumper to bumper traffic in your Prius going to your cubical just to do it again the next day. Now to give you the bad news so I don't have to answer all the questions about whats wrong with her. Nothing! I like her just the way she is. But for those who think a 1978 CJ7 should be perfect because its been sitting in a vacuum for the last 35 years, here you go. I don't want to sell to you anyway. She has a dent in the hood because at 50 miles a hour the hood flew up and smacked me in the face from wind. Note to self double check the latches after changing the oil. Gauges need replacing. I ride with a spare gas can anyway. They don't have Exxon out on the trail. The wiper motor needs replacing. Just put the windshield down and wear some googles and stop being fufu. You want her to respect you in the morning don't you. She is sold as is. There will be no: "I didn't know about this or that." You got questions I got answers. Well thats about it. If you've got soul or feel you need some more buy my Jeep. The price is fair. Now its time to change your life so bid like you got a pair!

Woman and child die after Jeep gets stuck in mud
Tue, Mar 10 2015A Florida woman and her baby died over the weekend when their Jeep sank into deep mud during an off-roading trip. Taylor Brown took his girlfriend Hallie Lewis and their infant son Bryson off-roading in his Jeep Cherokee on Saturday night. The Jeep became stuck in thick mud, according to WESH. Brown got out of the vehicle while Lewis and Bryson remained inside. Using a winch, Brown tried – unsuccessfully – to free the Jeep. The Cherokee was left running as he struggled to pull it out of the mud. When he returned to the Jeep to check on his son and girlfriend, he found them unresponsive. Taylor pulled the two out of the back window, but it was too late. Lewis was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The baby died shortly thereafter. Police are still investigating, but their deaths appear to be a tragic accident due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The tailpipe of the Jeep was either submerged or caked with mud, allowing the deadly gas to build up inside the vehicle. News Source: WESH Weird Car News Jeep tailpipe carbon monoxide
Jeepster name may be used for Fiat-based baby Jeep
Tue, 17 Dec 2013In 1948, Willys-Overland, the forbearers of Jeep, built a vehicle called the Jeepster. It was a funky little thing, designed as a mix of the more rugged Jeeps that came before with what was then a modern car, which arguably makes it the world's first crossover. The name was later revived from 1966 to 1972, which means for Jeep enthusiasts, it has some history.
Now, the modern Jeep brand may revive the Jeepster name for a new product, likely based on Fiat bones, that will slot in at the bottom of the brand's range underneath the soon-to-depart Compass and Patriot. The report comes from Australia's Drive, which cites a dealer source that has seen the vehicle.
That same dealer confirmed there is a link between the Jeepster and the rumored Fiat 500X, and that the former will be available in both front and all-wheel-drive variants. The source also claims both gas and diesel engines will be available, although as this is an Aussie site, we shouldn't take that to mean we'll get a diesel Jeepster in the US.
Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?
