No Reserve Auction 1979 Jeep CJ7 Golden Eagle - 1 Owner! This rare morocco buff colored original owner classic CJ7 Golden Eagle spent the majority of its life in Las Vegas, Nevada and Western Colorado which are both dry climates. The Jeep was recently given up by the original owner due to a foot injury making it difficult to drive a manual. I had the fuel drained and had it serviced last week adjusting the timing, carburetor, fresh oil change and spark plugs. It is running great now and drives very nice. I drove it to the mountains today to take photos with the hardtop on and it drove comfortably. This would make the perfect summer cruiser, weekend warrior or addition to your collection. Engine: 258 4.2L 6cylinder motor was rebuilt @ 100k miles. It runs great, starts right up (has a manual choke and needs a cable for it) and I do not notice any leaks on the pavement after driving it. The Jeep is has power upgrades including a 4 barrel Edlebrock carburetor, Clifford manifold, headers and dual exhaust. The cherry bomb mufflers give it a v8 sound. There is not a catalytic converter or smog equipment on the motor. Transmission/Transfer Case: 3spd T150 Manual Transmission that shifts great, whines a little and the clutch is very tight, responsive and does not slip. The Dana 20 transfer case shifts easily in and out of 4x4. 4x4 works great both in low and high ranges. Drivetrain/suspension: The Jeep drives smooth and has an upgraded suspension with Rancho shocks and leaf springs. The front leaf springs appear to be sagging a bit and could use replacement to match up the rear ride height. The Jeep is a non power steering unit and if I were to keep it I'd recommend adding power steering for easier driving. Interior Controls/Switches: Everything in the interior works except the factory tachometer and the windshield wipers are intermittent. The radio works but needs a center dash speaker to have sound. Paint/Body: The paint is a rare golden eagle color Morocco Buff with Golden Eagle Striping decals. It is original paint that looks great and super reflective, shows a lot of luster and is shiny. The rear drivers quarter was repaired at one point, the owner said the jeep was bumped in a parking lot and was professionally repaired. There is a small section on the drivers rear quarter where the paint is starting to flake off near the front of the flare (view photo). The front clip and fenders have sand chips. The hood on the inside has been painted black texture and on the exterior there are a few small ding dents. There are misc nicks, marks and blemishes to be expected for a 35 yr old Jeep. One of the rear tire carrier mounts broke off at one point and a support bar was added on back to strengthen the tire carrier. I just had a new front glass windshield replaced. Interior: The interior really nice, the front black aftermarket seats are new and very comfy. The interior floor has a smooth texture liner on and it appears to be in good shape with some minor flaking in couple spots. There is a little surface rust on the passenger floor but not thru. The Jeep is pretty close to rust free except the spot on the passenger door cut out and under the dash pad by the grab handle bar (view photos). Hardtop and Full Doors: The original hardtop is in excellent shape. A polish can be used to bring out the color of the hardtop and it appears the hardtop was repainted at one point. The rear tailgate on the hardtop has some dents, blemishes (view photos). The full hard doors are in great shape without any rust. The windows roll up and down easily (passenger side doesn't quite reach the top, stops about 1/3" from top. The passenger door has a dent where the vinyl is and both vinyl material on each door have scratches. The passenger side doesn't quite match the repainted hardtop. Tires/Wheels: Original 15x8 Gold Golden Eagle wheels with a black stripe. The wheels are in good shape with some chips and blemishes but still look sharp and original. The tires were purchased new in 1994 and need to be replaced. Although I have driven a couple hundred miles on these tires and the tread is 75%, I would highly suggest replacing them as they are dry rotting. The tire size is 31x10.50x15". Rust/Undercarriage: The only significant rust is on the passenger side by the door cut out (view photos), passenger front fender and passenger front floor have minor surface rust. The Jeep is very clean and the undercarriage appears discolored and has surface rust but no significant rust issues. Overall: This Golden Eagle will make a great daily driver, weekend warrior, summer adventurer or an addition to your collection. The CJ7 is used and 35 years old, so it may have blemishes I didn't capture on my camera or may have missed in my description. I did my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep. The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees. I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado. Included are a clean Colorado Title and bill of sale. Shipping: If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643. Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery. He has helped me on a couple cars I have bought as well as sold and shipped. Conclusion: A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal. All sales are final. The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time. Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer. I have sold a few cars on eBay in the past and can provide references if necessary. I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this Jeep is listed for sale locally as well.

Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall repair rates lag amidst reports of new death
Sat, Jan 10 2015The problem with exploding fuel tanks in the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty in some rear collisions continues to be a problem for FCA US, formerly Chrysler. The campaign to fix the utility vehicles was first announced in June 2013 after 51 claimed fatalities, and the fixes reportedly began in January 2014. However, there continue to be new deaths blaming the problem in unrepaired models, according to The Detroit News, citing data from the Center for Auto Safety. The automaker initially refused NHTSA's pressuring to conduct a recall because the models met applicable crash standards when they were manufactured, but eventually, there was a compromise to inspect and fix about 1.56 million Jeeps. With the fuel tank located between the rear axle and bumper, the unusual fix was to install a trailer hitch for extra protection. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration later agreed that the change would provide added safety in lower to medium speed crashes, but not high-speed crashes. The most recent fatality, according to The Detroit News, occurred on a Michigan freeway in November 2014 when a pregnant woman in a 2003 Liberty was rear-ended when traffic slowed. Her Jeep impacted the vehicle in front, rolled over and a fire resulted. The family reportedly plans to file a lawsuit against FCA. At issue has been the rate at which the vehicles are being fixed. In July 2014, the automaker estimated it could have all of the vehicles repaired by March 2015 thanks to additional hitch supplies. But by November, NHTSA claimed that only three percent of the recalled models had been fixed. FCA says it continues to work to notify owners, though. According to Chrysler spokesperson Eric Mayne to Autoblog, "We are processing approximately 1,200 vehicles per day. Every owner who schedules service is receiving service. As of Jan. 8, that total was 193,490." The company has also mailed out over two million notifications to owners, more than the number officially called in. Given the age of these Jeeps, many of them have had multiple owners, and historically, the older a vehicle is, the less likely the recall fixes are to be carried out. FCA is currently creating a video urging people to have the hitch installed to be released soon.

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.
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee gets surprisingly comprehensive update, new diesel power
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Traditionally, automotive journalists can be heard muttering something to the effect of "Geeze, it's about time!" whenever a vehicle's midcycle refresh is revealed. As we routinely see and drive new models many months before the public even claps eyes on them in showrooms - and then go on to tweeze apart their minutia in our daily writings - perhaps some impatience is to be expected. With so much exposure to a given vehicle, it's fair to say we tire of most cars and trucks far more quickly than the average consumer.
The alterations are handsome, if not subtle touches from the "If It Ain't Broke" school of design.
Which is why we're pleased to say "Oh, is it time for that already?" when it comes to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The current WK2 Grand Cherokee hit the market in 2011 and climbed its way into our hearts with its rugged good looks, go-anywhere capability and surprising refinement. We're not yet tired of its appearance or performance, but even so, we're very glad to see Chrysler giving its flagship Jeep some attention, including a much-anticipated diesel powertrain option and some other economy-minded measures.
