Beautiful cosmetic and mechanical restoration of a pristine, rust-free, unmodified and original, highway-driven (very limited off-road use), desert California (20 years) and desert Utah (10 years) based 1983 Jeep CJ7. Don't let the mileage intimidate you... since the restoration this beauty drives as new. The key to a great build is to start with a great foundation like this one. Complete, original and rust-free is way more important than miles. And It was done as a labor of love by a friend of mine who planned to keep it forever. Alas, plans change and he has asked me to sell it for him (I'm the eBay go-to guy in my neighborhood).


Below is a link that allows you to get details through the VIN number...


And here are the details on this one (in no particular order)...

* Beautiful fresh paint inside and out (body was entirely disassembled, prepped, painted, and then reassembled with new parts)
* Matching Armor-Coat on the floorboards and bed
* New windshield frame and window
* New nuts & bolts throughout (mostly stainless steel)
* New Bestop bikini top
* New mirrors
* Very cool stainless steel hood hinges and vent from Olympic Offroad
* Fresh undercoating on fender wells
* Original 15x7 Jeep spoke rims
* Custom LED tail lights
* Newer 258cid long-block
* Cool new cast 4.2L valve cover
* Stainless steel air intake
* Five speed manual transmission with newer clutch
* Dana 300 transfer case
* Trac-Lok limited slip rear differential
* Power steering with tilt wheel
* Power brakes (fresh pads and rotor in front, new shoes in rear)
* New battery tray
* New water pump/thermostat/serpentine belt
* All new radiator & heater hoses
* New windshield washer hoses and pump
* New gauges (other than speedo) and indicator lights
* New stainless steel gauge surround
* Very comfy new seats and seat frames
* Custom, very sturdy rear bumper/receiver/swing-away spare tire carrier (all bolt-on)
* Newer shocks (Ranch RS5000's in the rear)
* New shift boots
* Custom machined dash control knobs
* Original owners manual and maintenance schedule

I know I'm forgetting some additional goodies. Definitely look closely at my pics. And I also have pics of the building process... please ask me for them.

Mechanically, the running gear is excellent. Everything works like new and has been restored/upgraded where necessary. What's cool is that it has been kept all stock underneath. It's built to be a reliable, practical daily driver that will appreciate in value if you take care of it. I've driven many classic CJ's and I'm struck by what a tight, rattle-free, smooth, civilized driver this one is. Personally, I think it drives as good as or better than a new one did in 1983. Just my two cents.

Cosmetically, the owner took some liberties (seats, knobs, paint color, stainless steel, tail lights). But they are done to a very high standard and reversible if you choose. Personally, I'd leave them just the way they are and enjoy them. They certainly contribute to it being a safe, cool (as in awesome), practical and comfortable driver. And I think these tasteful upgrades make it even more unique.

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of additional pics that show every nook and cranny. Send me an email address and I will get them out promptly. This beautiful CJ7 is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, Utah (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). You may want to consider flying in and driving home. I would be happy to help facilitate that. Good luck and good bidding.

2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for the Jeep Wrangler. The last one I owned was red, and, as a 1990 model, had the square headlights derided by Jeep enthusiasts who grew up on the Civilian Jeeps that descended from their General Purpose military ancestors. As a teenager, I couldn't have cared less what shape its headlights happened to be - to me, a Jeep Wrangler represented freedom; a carefree do-it-all machine equally at home with the top stowed away in the summer or with the heater on full blast in the snowy clutches of Old Man Winter. In Dr. Seuss parlance, my square-headlighted Sneetch was just as worthy as any round-headlighted Sneetch.
All that said, I'll be the first person to advise against buying a Jeep Wrangler of any sort for owners who don't plan to use it as its makers intend. There's no good reason to punish yourself with a stiff and springy ride, a loud and somewhat drafty (though generally water-resistant) interior or the poor fuel economy expected of a block-shaped vehicle if you don't enjoy its other, more exciting benefits.
Of course, Jeep has done its darndest over the years to make the Wrangler as civilized as possible while keeping it as capable as federal law will allow. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab edition is one of Jeep's latest attempts to attract attention from the upper reaches of the active lifestyle set, and I spent a week with one to see what makes the Moab special.

Car Club USA: Moab Jeep Jamboree

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Today Autoblog is excited to premiere its latest original video series, Car Club USA. Car Club USA's debut episode features the Just Jeeps club of Omaha, including a father-son duo traveling to Moab, UT to brave the treacherous trails. Brian is behind the wheel, as his father guides him through the most dangerous geographical features Moab's red desert has to offer. Joining them are Gene and Jean, an older married couple from Minnesota whose modified Jeep Wrangler – like its owners – knows no bounds. "We're in our seventies now," explained Jean. "We could be sitting at home in a rocking chair watching TV, but we'd rather do this." Also hitting the trails is Matt, a Californian who looks to pay homage to his father by exploring southern Utah in a World War II-era Jeep Willys. "This was our stomping ground," said Matt. "That's why I chose to come to Utah for my big vacation this year, in his memory, to see some of the places we used to go together, and have fun and do some Jeeping." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Jeep SUV Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos

Jeep Wrangler Dragon Edition coming to North America

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

If 2012 was the year of the dragon in China, perhaps the US can claim 2014. After showing the Jeep Wrangler Dragon Design Concept at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, and apparently receiving "tremendously positive feedback" from Jeep enthusiasts across the globe, the automaker has decided to introduce a production version that will hit US showrooms this fall with a price of $36,095.
"The dragon symbolizes strength and power and is an aspirational character normally associated with royalty and good fortune," says Jeep, and that apparently equates to a blacked-out Wrangler Unlimited with bronze satin gloss highlights inside and out, along with big dragon decals that start on the hood and run down the fenders. There are 18-inch matte black wheels with a bronze outer edges, and a dragon-emblazoned spare tire cover completes the look.
We suggest you peruse the high-res image gallery above to see all the black and bronze detailing yourself, and make special note of the interior. In related news, all 2014 Jeep Wrangler models get an optional Trail Kit and clear park lamps to replace the previous amber units. New colors include Amp'd, Anvil, Copperhead, Flame Red, Granite Crystal and Hydro Blue (Freedom edition only), which join carryover colors Billet Silver, Bright White, Black and Dune.
