1982 JEEP CJ-7 LAREDO RARE COPPER METALLIC WITH NUTMEG TRIM INTEIOR !
This AMC classic Jeep CJ-7 is all clean steel with most of the original paint which is not flawless, however the luster is still very sweet. The original floor pans are solid and have never been patched or replaced. There is no bed liner or undercoat cover-up. There is a newer decal kit and there was a few areas of touch up. There is 4 new high quality chrome wheels and a non matching spare with a rare nutmeg tire cover. The frame, frame rails, and undercarriage, all rock solid !
The 4.2 inline 6 cylinder runs very strong. The fuel delivery system has been upgrade to a Mopar correct Multi Port (MPI) 4.2 fuel injection system. It now runs better then ever. This very expensive upgrade is worth every penny (No more carter carb blues). The T5 manual transmission and the Dana 300 are supper strong and shift perfectly. The brakes system, including emergency brake function well and have been complete gone through recently. The suspension has been upgraded with some heavy duty spring hangers and a mild spring lift some time ago provide for the perfect looking stance. Chrome front bumper, chrome front grill with pin stripe, and rear chrome bumperettes present.
The interior is OEM Nutmeg in all it's 80's glory. The seats do show some wear, however are still presentable for 30+ years old. The leather grab bar, leather steering wheel, Tilt steering column, Laredo horn button, dash pin stripe, oem nutmeg center console w/keys, nutmeg dash pad and complete OEM carpet all present. The clock is new and keeps perfect time which does illuminate with the dash lights. The tach is not functional as it's being used as a pass-through for the upgraded ignition and fuel injection system. The headlight, tail lights, and turn signals all function. Even most of the dash light work, as does the volt meter, oil pressure, and speedometer. The gas gauge does read fuel amounts, however it's erratic with readout responses. There is an period correct aftermarket cruise control unit that I've personally never used.
I've owned this Jeep for a couple years and I still have the Colorado title which is free and clear and ready for immediate transfer without delay.
I'm running the auction with bikini TOP ONLY to keep the reserve as low as possible, however I can source most any top option you desire at a fair price. If you have any additional questions please call 716-512-8307.
Overall this CJ with it's patina, rare color, clean sheet metal, desirable trim package, and solid mechanics is one of my personal favorites from my collection. I am confident you will love it too !
Thanks for looking !

FCA and Peugeot reportedly agree on merger
Wed, Oct 30 2019Citing a Wall Street Journal report, the Detroit Free Press says "Fiat Chrysler and PSA Groupe have agreed to merge." The Journal reported on talks between the two car companies only yesterday. It's said that Peugeot's board met yesterday to approve the deal, FCA's board met today, and an announcement could come as soon as tomorrow, Thursday. Both automakers have released statements, but neither company has released any information beyond admitting to ongoing talks. If the merger happens, the combined entity would become the world's fourth-largest carmaker with a $50 billion valuation, slotting in behind Toyota, the Volkswagen Group, and the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi alliance. Among the merger options possible, "an all-stock merger of equals" is the one analysts and Moody's seem to give the best grade. The reported merger would come about four months after FCA walked away from merger talks with Renault. FCA said the French government scuppered those talks over the role of Nissan in a reformed entity, but there were also brewing issues with French unions, and ongoing turmoil among Renault and Nissan leadership thanks to continuing fallout from ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn's arrest last year. FCA makes most of its revenue in the U.S. and rules Italy, while Peugeot is the second-best-selling automaker in Europe with its own brand in France and Opel in Germany. The two companies already have a partnership in Europe making vans, one that FCA CEO Mike Manley has spoken highly of. Among the list of obvious benefits in a potential merger, FCA would get access to Peugeot's small, modern platforms, $10.2 billion in cash, and electrified and hybrid architecture developments, the latter especially important to FCA as those are fields where it lags. Peugeot would get much easier access to the U.S. market, and the money-printing brands Jeep and Ram. A merged carmaker would have combined sales of nearly 9 million a year, based on 2018 results. By comparison, both Volkswagen and Toyota sell over 10 million cars a year, while the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance almost 11 million. Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares has proved he knows how to do turnarounds and mergers. After leaving a position as Carlos Ghosn's right-hand man in 2012, Tavares took over Peugeot in 2014, navigated a bailout from the French government and China's Dongfeng Motors in 2015, and turned PSA into a regional powerhouse.
Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race
Thu, Mar 17 2016We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango still catching fire after recall
Thu, May 7 2015Automakers issue recalls all the time. It's part of the cost of doing business. We just assume that once the recall has been carried out, the problem in question has been fixed. But that's not always the case, as this latest investigation being undertaken by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration goes to show. The problem stems back to a recall issued by Chrysler last summer. It revolved rather the sun visor in the SUVs it makes at its Jefferson North Assembly Plant – specifically, the screw affixing the sun visor could end up rubbing against the wiring for the lamp in the vanity mirror, potentially causing an electrical short and even a fire. 62 such short circuits, 38 fires and three injuries reported, prompting Chrysler to recall nearly 900,000 units of the 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango (over 650,000 of them in the United States). The plastic spacers they installed to rectify the problem, however, may not have done the trick. Eight reports (but none involving injuries) have been filed with the NHTSA regarding the same issue recurring, spurring the government agency to open a new investigation into the matter. If deemed necessary, the NHTSA could ask FCA to issue another recall to fix the issue again, which we may necessitate the installation of a fuze to prevent any such the electric short.

The recall was in response to the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) investigation EA14-001 during which data provided by Chrysler indicates that the fire is caused by an electrical short in the vanity lamp wiring for either one of the sun visors mounted on the vehicle. The sun visors are mounted to the roof of the vehicle through the headliner with three metal screws.
