***To all following this listing, a watcher pointed out that I had mistakingly listed this Jeep as a 1981 in the description. It's a 1980. My apologies for the oversight.***

1980 Jeep CJ-7 Laredo, clean Texas title, black on black with original hard top and hard doors (doors have original Laredo interior panels). I'm the 3rd owner of this Jeep, all ownership has been in Texas. I have two CJ’s that are nearly identical and have to get rid of one, we are in need of a larger vehicle and the garage space. This is the nicer of the 2 Jeeps by far, but I owned the other one first and it has some sentimental value to me. This would be a great Jeep for someone wanting to do a restoration, it's very solid, or an even better one for someone wanting to lift it and add larger tires.

The Jeep is almost all original; the only thing that has been changed is the engine and wheels/tires. Previous owner took out the original 304 V8 and had an AMC 360 V8 professionally installed with an Edelbrock performance carb and intake. This is a very common swap in this era of Jeep as the 80's Grand Wagoneers came with the 360 and it's almost a direct swap. The Jeep has a tremendous amount of power, would handle larger tires very well.

The transmission is an automatic. It shifts very well, smooth through all gears and into/out of reverse.

The transfer case works perfectly, will run in 4-H or 4-L without any grinding, whining, clicking, etc.

Interior is all original. Driver’s side seat is a little torn on lower, upper is in great shape. Both passenger and rear seats are in great shape. Coming apart slightly at the seams but could easily be repaired. Has a CD player and (2) marine grade speakers in the rear.

Wheels are gloss black steel 15x8, tires are 31x10.50 Kumho street tires that are almost brand new. My other Jeep has (5) 235x75x15 BFG All Terrains that are almost new, for an extra $500 I'll swap the tires before selling it.

There is almost no rust on this Jeep with the exception of (2) small places. Drivers floorboard has a small spot that my body shop said could be repaired for $100. Rear quarter panel has a small spot as well, almost the same size. None of the usual problem areas have any issues (ie body mounts, rear floor pans behind front seats, rear wheel wells, etc.). As you can see in the photos, the Jeep is very clean and would make a great rig as it sits.

The odometer on this Jeep shows 62,XXX miles. There is not a digit to the left of the 6, but the previous owner was adamant that the mileage shown was exact. Anyone who knows Jeeps like I do probably isn't concerned about mileage anyway, just about anything on this Jeep could be repaired/replaced for $500 or less. Engine has approximately 25k miles on it after the rebuild.

Bottom line, this Jeep is great and will make someone a very nice rig. Could be used as a weekend vehicle or a daily driver. My Jeep mechanic told me I should list it at $12k, I'm just not that attached to it and I want someone to get a nice Jeep at a good price. I've had it parked near my house for the few weeks and have had a significant amount of phone calls, I'm just not willing to give it away. Willing to take any photos necessary, just send me an email request and include the areas you would like to see. This is obviously an as-is sale and there is no warranty available. Thanks for bidding.

Fiat Chrysler CEO says final merger talks with Peugeot going well

Thu, Jan 23 2020

BRUSSELS — Fiat Chrysler's chief executive Michael Manley said on Wednesday that merger talks with Peugeot owner PSAÂ to create the world's No. 4 carmaker are progressing well and he hopes to have a deal within 12-14 months. Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of an industry meeting, he said he doesn't expect any major obstacles that could delay a final agreement. "Talks are progressing really well," Manley said about negotiations with the French carmaker ahead of a briefing by the European automotive association (ACEA), of which he is president. His comments come a month after the two carmakers agreed to a binding deal worth about $50 billion to combine forces in response to a slowdown in global demand and mounting costs of making cleaner vehicles amid tighter emissions regulations. Manley's timeline for completing the deal by early 2021 is in line with a forecast made by the companies in December. Fiat and Peugeot are now getting into the details of how the merger will work, including choosing which vehicle platforms Â— the technological underpinnings of a vehicle Â— will fit which products in a combined company. Because customers in different locations still prefer vastly different cars, there is room for multiple platforms in a combined group, Manley said. "That global platform is an elusive beast," he added. "This concept of a massive global platform in my mind is almost a myth, but that doesnÂ’t mean to say weÂ’re not going to recruit significant volume." Related Video: Â Â

Jeep Renegade sales being held due to powertrain issue [UPDATE]

Wed, May 20 2015

UPDATE: An unnamed FCA US source has clarified to Automotive News that while there is a software issue, it does not concern the transmission. The Jeep Renegade appears to be facing early software problems that are similar to the ones at the introduction of the Cherokee a few years ago. The issue is keeping the brand's latest compact crossover away from dealers until the situation can be resolved. The fault reportedly deals with the software controlling the Renegade's nine-speed automatic transmission. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne briefly talked about what was happening in an interview with Automotive News. "I'm having a very bad engineering day," he said. "It's a combination of attributes of that vehicle that is making my life horrible." The company boss predicted at the longest it could take until mid-June to fix things. Through April, Jeep has sold 5,157 Renegades, including 4,214 of them in that month alone. Autoblog reached out to an FCA US spokesperson to learn more about the software problem, but the company had no comment. Getting the software right to control the nine-speed automatic plagued development of the Cherokee. The issues delayed the model's launch in 2013, and the company was still releasing improvements for some vehicles this year.
