For your consideration, is this amazing 1979 Jeep CJ7.  I looked for years for one in this condition.. Original body and paint and as rust free as they come!!  If that isn't enough, this one is set up with all the right equipment.  I came across this recently and bought it..  I spread myself thin financially doing it, so either this needs to go or my convertible "8701" model Jeepster.. If I dont sell this, I will likely list the Jeepster.. This is one amazing find. Pictures show condition well.  It has always been garage kept.  Everything that has ever been done to this Jeep has been a methodical sequence of events.. It is obvious when you familiarize yourself a little bit with this Jeep, the two previous owners were very caring owners.I expect questions from serious buyers and I am available to do a "walk around" over the phone for those buyers.. I also encourage you to come out and see it for yourself, I'm willing to pick you up from the airport to help accommodate you.  I'm a classic car enthusiast, have owned several neat cars, and have sold a handful of them on Ebay.. The last one I sold was in 2011, it was an original paint 72 Datsun 240z.. Every buyer has been happy with the car they have received. I know where and what to look for when considering a classic car.  We all know rust (lack of!)  and originality are the key components that dictate value in any classic. I hope you find my description and pictures supportive of a classic car enthusiast.. I truly try to show the areas that I would want to see.  Onto the some details of this amazing vehicle.


Body, Paint and Rust Condtion:

Personally, I have never seen one in this condition before.. All original steel body, with no paint work ever.  It has always been garage kept.  The body is incredibly straight.  Study the pics closely, ask for specific pics.  The rear corners, tailgate, fender, tub (floor pan) are all superb.  The paint still has a good luster and does not appear to be wearing thin like many original paint Jeeps..  Don't expect like new paint though..  It has its share of paint imperfections.. mostly tiny rock chips, the front fenders and grill is where the majority of them are.  The decals are factory, and in good shape considering their age.  As far as rust.. Its much easier to show you in the pictures... the lack of rust.  I believe the best way to familiarize yourself and really learn what you have is to detail clean the entire vehicle.. After all, dirt is often where rust starts, and hides it from the eye.  I've spent some time cleaning and waxing this Jeep.. I will admit, it was very exciting for me to discover how exceptionally clean this CJ7 is! The lift gate of the hard top has a 3-4" hole (see pic) There is one spot shown on the back left corner that is very minor.  It localized and the metal around it is solid, has not affected the body mount area below.  There is some slight rust beginning under the horn mount on the front left fender, you can email me for a pic of that if you want.  I have tried to get good shots of the floors from both sides, they are amazing.  A very common spot for rust is the lower back sides of the front fenders, I've included pictures of those areas too.. Again, study the pictures.. Call or email me for any specific shots you may desire.. I have no problem taking pics from my iphone and texting them or emailing them to you.. Just ask.  

Mechanical, Drivetrain etc:

This Jeep has been set up perfectly.. in my opinion.  To be totally honest.. Its a monster.  When you jump on the gas.. be ready..  this thing is like a muscle car.  Here are some of the upgrades.

360 AMC V-8 smooth, quiet seasoned motor.  Very responsive, very powerful.  On occasion, you may see one light puff of smoke at start up.. Does not continue to smoke.  Nothing to be worried about at all here.. It has a newer Edelbrock intake and carb setup.. It doesn't miss a beat, very responsive. Has all the power and more I would expect from such a motor. It has dual exhaust with glass packs.. When your on the gas.. you know it.. and everyone else does too!  Its a little loud for me.   Im 100% confident in this motor.. 

T-18 Ford 4 speed transmission with granny low 1st gear, and low reverse.  Works perfectly in all gears, no noises or issues.  Clutch engages without any chatter, slippage or issues.  

I believe the transfer case, and axles to be original.  Quite certain its a Dana 44 in the rear and Dana 30 up front.. Factory skid plates, etc all intact.

The Renegade came with factory power steering and power brakes.  Both work well.  Steering is good, but may need some attention.. I've driven it at 55-60 mph on a winding road.. handled like I expected a Jeep to. 

Has a loc-rite locker in the front.. I've put it into both 4 hi and 4 lo.. you can definitely feel the locker in the front working.  Also comes with a locker for the rear that is used and is supposedly the right one!  Factory spider gears for the front end included too.

Electrical, everything works including all lights (every light except the under the hood light works).  Has an aftermarket tach that is working, factory gauges work.. fuel gauge is working intermittently, working today!  Has a newer stereo with aux/ipod hook up.  Under the rear seat is a 12V compressor with appropriate air tool kit.  This is activated by a toggle switch on the dash.  Nice extra.

Suspension:  It appears that maybe it has a longer set of spring shackles on it..  It does sit a little lower on the rear left corner..  I cant see any problem with the leaf spring.  I think it is shackle related.  Has newer shocks and the rest of the suspension/front end looks very original and un-tampered with.  

Interior:

Pics show condition well.  Dash is in great shape with no speaker holes cut, looks factory.  Steering column looks great.  Floors have been treated professionally with a bed-liner material and look great.  Front seats are original and the upholstery looks great for a 30+yr old Jeep!  Rear seat is from a Samurai, it folds and tumbles to reveal the 12v compressor and tool area. This tool box is completely removable if one wanted to go back to the original seat set up.  Original rear seat is not included.  Seat belts intact.  Rear factory roll bar was professionally modified to cover more area in the rear.. it was then powder coated black.  It was also, reinforced from underneath for a stronger mount.  Nice locking center console with cup holders. Windows roll up and down.  Doors have hairline cracks on both, and have been repaired (see photo, black rubber strip).  Tailgate works perfectly and rear cargo lift works well. Ventilation/Heater box was completely cleaned, new heater core installed, cables all working.

Accessories:

This Jeep has all of the best accessories you could think of..  Anything added was done extremely well and it shows.  

Believed to be a Dealer installed Warn winch, with vinyl cover !!!  Awesome!!

Front loc-rite locker 

Edelbrock intake/carb

Aluminum radiator

electronic ignition

Aftermarket aluminum wheels, 31" AT's

Nice Bikini top

Nice soft half doors

Has mounts for (2) 5 gal Jerry cans

Comes with a used rear locker (told it will fit, no guarantee)

Nice lockable center console

Nice sounding stereo with 2 6x9 speakers and 2 5.25" in boxes up front.

Like new pair of Cabella seat covers.  

12v air compressor and accompanying air tool bag.  

Summary:

As I mentioned.. I have never seen one in better condition that this.. Original paint is a big deal for me.. No bondo hiding rust problems..  Great patina, that shows this Jeep has been cared for and preserved.  It is a blast to drive.. It really has gobs of power.  Everything added and listed above, was very well thought out and adds to the enjoyment factor of this Jeep.  With the monster power, super low range ability,  Warn winch and the locker up front, this Jeep is very capable off road.  Would compliment any Jeep enthusiasts collection.  Amazing survivor.  

Please ask any/all questions before bidding.  I require a $500 paypal deposit within 24hrs and balance paid in full within 3 days via BANK WIRE ONLY!  I will assist in shipping arrangements that are made and paid for by the BUYER.

Thanks.  Jason 801-897-1822

Say goodbye to the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne outlined an update to the company's five-year business plan Wednesday, and among the changes, the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 sedans will soon be phased out. The company's presentation to investors states that the "market shift from cars to trucks and UVs [utility vehicles is] now seen as permanent shift in demand," and FCA wants to respond as quickly as possible. Killing the 200 and Dart will allow FCA to build more Jeep and Ram models at the Sterling Heights, MI, and Belvidere, IL, plants where the sedans were produced. We already knew FCA was planning to shift 200 and Dart production to Mexico, to free up the Sterling Heights facility for Ram 1500 production, and the Belivdere site for Jeep Cherokee output. The Cherokee will move from its current home in Toledo, OH, to allow for increased Wrangler production. It's no shock that FCA wants to shift its focus to crossovers and trucks. In December 2015, for example, combined sales of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 were 15,310. The Jeep Cherokee, which uses the same platform as the Dart and 200, outsold both models combined, with 24,049 sales. Both the Dart and 200 had troubles from the beginning. Marchionne recently blamed designers for the 200 not receiving a Consumer Reports 'recommended' rating, and the Dart was one of the lowest-scoring cars in a CR reliability study.

Forum die-hards render upcoming Jeep Wrangler JT Rubicon pickup

Mon, Jun 12 2017

Our friends at JLWranglerForums.com shared the renders you see above with us, showing off their best guess at what the upcoming Jeep Wrangler JT pickup will look like. It's not due for a while yet, but we've already seen a lot of the truck (under heavy camouflage) – enough to piece together some renders. Some of the small details may change, but then again, the Wrangler is one of the great constants in the automotive world. Expect a lot of carryover from JK to JL. These renders reflect the latest gleaned from recent spyshots. Note the cut of the bed, which is angled to match the rear fender's forward line, tucking it nicely under the rear door. The doors will also not have a body line or crease running across them, apparently. That line will occur on the front fenders and the bed, but not on the doors, it seems. JLWranglerForums.com's has a good track record, and while there's no guarantee that the bits hiding under the camo and rendered here are final, this is likely a pretty good preview of what we'll see on the road soon. In the meantime, catch up on all we know about the Wrangler pickup here.
