Up for sale is this beautiful 1979 Jeep cj5 !!!! This is a stunning Jeep that turns heads and feels great when driving it. It has a 304 amc engine (not rebuilt) that is nicely detailed in chrome with new Accel wires, New fuel pump, MSD ignition, Headers with true dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers!! This jeep sounds aggressive going down the road. The transmission is a synchronized 3 speed (standard). This Jeep runs and drives, but is not a fully restored Jeep. The exterior of this beast is the best looking of all. It has a beautiful green color in real good shape for its age. It looks pretty close to the green color used in the newer Jeeps of today. I get tons of compliments for the color ! This Jeep has a new soft top and doors made by Best Top. It also comes with a bikini top as well. Both the front and rear bumpers are new Smitty Built bumpers. They look great on this Jeep ! It also has a 4 inch lift with 33 inch Pro Comp tires and Mickey Thompson classic rims. This gives the Jeep an over-all mean looking stance. The window frame gaskets and windshield gaskets were also replaced. The hood hinges and vent were chromed and look great as well. Along the sides of the Jeep are diamond plate.All of these details make this jeep stand out from the others. The interior of the jeep is just as great looking as the outside. It has Best Top seats, Aluminum knobs, Chromed handle bar and diamond plate frame. It also has a new Dual Ipod ready stereo. What more could you ask for? The under carriage of this Jeep is in exceptional condition for the year.Most jeeps this year are rusted so bad that you would spend thousands of dollars repairing the floor. This Jeep only has 2 small rust spots that I could find as big as a golf ball. All in all this is a great price for a weekend warrior !!! All it needs is a few details like turn signals, wipers, ect. It is quite drivable and feels very solid. You are more than welcome to have Ebay inspect the vehicle. Any questions or concerns can be answered by calling 915-630-2034. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due upfront. This vehicle is sold in as is condition with no warranty or refund. I am selling this Jeep locally and I can end this listing when it is sold. You cannot build a classic Jeep like this one for what I am asking for mine. These Jeeps are sought after and are hot ! Thank you for looking and good luck !

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

The Chrysler brand could be axed under Stellantis management

Sun, Jan 3 2021

MILAN — While running NissanÂ’s North American operations from 2009 to 2011, Carlos Tavares had a reputation for closely watching costs with little tolerance for vehicles or ventures that didnÂ’t make money. Experts say that means Tavares, currently the head of PSA Group, is likely to follow that blueprint when he becomes leader of a merged PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The low-performing Chrysler brand might get the axe as could slow-selling cars, SUVs or trucks that lack potential. Already the companies are talking about consolidating vehicle platforms — the underpinnings and powertrains — to save billions in engineering and manufacturing costs. That could mean job losses in Italy, Germany and Michigan as PSA Peugeot technology is integrated into North American and Italian vehicles. “You canÂ’t be cost efficient if you keep the entire scale of both companies,” said Karl Brauer, executive analyst for the iSeeCars.com auto website. “WeÂ’ve seen this show before, and weÂ’re going to see it again where they economize these platforms across continents, across multiple markets.” Shareholders of both companies are to meet Monday to vote on the merger to form the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker, to be called Stellantis. The deal received EU regulatory approval just before Christmas. Tavares, who for years has wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S., wonÂ’t take full control of the merged companies until the end of January at the earliest. He likely will target Europe for consolidation first, because thatÂ’s where Fiat vehicles overlap extensively with PSAÂ’s, said IHS Markit Principal Auto Analyst Stephanie Brinley. Europe has been a money-loser for FCA, and factories in Italy are operating way below capacity — a concern for unions, given FiatÂ’s role as the largest private sector employer in the country. “We are at a crossroads,Â’Â’ said Michele De Palma of the FIOM CGIL metalworkersÂ’ union. “Either there is a relaunch, or there is a slow agonizing closure of industry, in particular the auto industry, in Italy.” ItalyÂ’s hopes lie with the luxury Maserati and sporty Alfa Romeo brands, but De Palma said investments are needed to bring hybrid and electric technology up to speed. FiatÂ’s Italian capacity stands at 1.5 million vehicles, but only a few hundred thousand are being produced each year. Most factories were on rolling short-term layoffs due to lack of demand, even before the pandemic.

2015 Jeep Renegade brings the cute

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The jig is up, the noose is out, we finally found it: the Renegade that Jeep has made, retrieved for a bounty.
Okay, enough of that. Meet the Renegade - Jeep's cute little compact crossover that makes its official debut here at the Geneva Motor Show. We recently brought you a massive Deep Dive into what makes the Renegade tick, and we're now getting our first live look at the tiny Jeep, live from its coming out party in Switzerland.
With the exception of associate editor Jonathon Ramsey, who doesn't know what he's talking about, we at Autoblog are kind of smitten with the little Jeep - it's a really unique package, featuring details that really make it kind of special (notice that jerry can pattern in the taillights, for example). Jeep will offer the Renegade with either a 1.4-liter turbo-four (from the Fiat 500L) or a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four (from the Dodge Dart), with either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. There will even be a Trailhawk version with four-wheel drive - properly trail-rated, to boot. The Renegade also features a nifty new My Sky removable roof panel system, giving this little cutie sort of a baby Wrangler feel.
