1984 Jeep Cj-7 - Fule Injected 4.2l, 6 Cylinder on 2040-cars
Grapevine, Texas, United States
This has been an Awesome Jeep for me and is the 4th CJ that I have owned. I am moving from Dallas to Center City
Philadelphia and it is just not practical. It is a catchy Burnt Orange, great for any
Longhorns Fan!! It is a rebuilt 4.2L with a Mopar Fuel Injection Conversion Kit installed. The kit from Mopar is based on the 1994
Wrangler and is multi-port (not TBI). It
runs great, looks great and is tons of fun on nice days. The Jeep is sitting on 35" tires and a
4.5" lift kit (I think- it was this way when I got it). I have never had it off road but if it is
anything like the others I had, you won’t let you down. With it will come a bikini top, wind jammer, a set of stock and a set of
oversized fender flares (neither are installed), original speedometer head and
a new dash pad that I never got around to installing (black). It has a nice Tuffy consul with radio inside
(I don't have the key to lock it), waterproof boxes for the speakers (was going
to put new marine speakers in it but never got to it - speakers work ok), and
the inside is coated with bed liner. The water pump and radiator were just replaced. I think it was re-geared, but not sure what is
in it. It moves pretty good with those
35's and will break the tires loose if you get on it. I got it on ebay almost 2 years ago from Erie PA and other than some small
upgrades and cosmetic updates, it is the same Jeep it was them with about 1000
more miles on it. The body is solid and
it has no rust. I think it had a minor restoration before I got it. I have done my best to describe it, but if you have questions about it or
want to come see/drive it, let me know. If
you would like additional pictures of anything specific, let me know. The Jeep is being sold as is. It is
well worth more than the starting bid and while I hate to give it up, I am
moving in less than a month. Buyer is responsible to pick it up. If you want to set up shipping, we can discuss
availability for me to meet your shipper (buyer must arrange shipping and is
responsible for the cost). If I have left anything out or you have questions, please let me know. I am selling with no reserve. I am
confident that the bids will take it to the price I am looking for. Also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. |

Feds chastise Marchionne over Jeep recall, only 13% repaired so far
Sat, Nov 22 2014Following the significant outcry surrounding the General Motors and Takata airbag safety crises this year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration seems to be taking a much more aggressive role in pushing owners to repair their recalled vehicles. In the agency's latest move, it's urging Jeep drivers to get their models fixed. Acting NHTSA administrator David Friedman even sent a letter to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne pressing him to get more of the SUVs fixed. The problem goes back to the recall of the 2002-2007 Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee because of the possibility for the fuel tank to rupture in some rear crashes. The campaign affected over 1.5 million vehicles, but Chrysler initially refused NHTSA's request for a repair campaign. The automaker eventually came up with a fix that involved adding a trailer hitch to provide extra protection to the tank. The feds believe the danger "will be reduced by the remedy now offered by Chrysler," according to the statement. However, this latest push comes out of NHTSA's concern that only three percent of the affected vehicles are repaired, although Chrysler maintains some 13.4 percent have actually been fixed. The agency is asking the automaker to reach out to owners "proactively," and get them to bring the Jeeps in dealers. According to the the feds' statement, the company "has nearly 400,000 parts available" to perform the fixes, and it's still producing more. Friedman's letter to Marchionne goes even further, alleging NHTSA has received reports that dealers are turning customers away who request the recall. He asks the CEO to prove within 15 days that these claims are false. "Given the low rates of repair that Chrysler has reported more than a year after the recall, significantly more aggressive steps are required," says a portion of the note. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler has subsequently promised to speed up the recall work, vowing that all dealers will have at least 12 repair kits in stock by Monday. Further, it has announced plans to ramp up its notification campaign with Facebook ads and public service announcements.

Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X finally on the way to dealers
Mon, Jun 1 2015After a brief pause, the Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X are on their way to dealers again. While initially reported as a software bug, the issue had nothing to do with the models themselves. According to a statement from FCA US to Autoblog, the "vehicles were built with an atypical Vehicle Identification Number that may not be recognized as valid by some computer systems." That problem has now been fixed. FCA US held the compact crossovers back from dealers until the company could rectify the bug. If the CUVs had been delivered, there would have been difficulty registering the vehicles, according to Automotive News. Before discovering the situation, about 20 of these Renegades were sold to customers. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne originally discussed the predicament in late May. "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." While the boss predicted the problem would be fixed as late as mid-June, the company apparently got things working much quicker than that. Related Video: FCA US Statement A limited number of 2015 Jeep Renegade and 2016 Fiat 500X vehicles were built with an atypical Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) that may not be recognized as valid by some computer systems. This VIN issue has been resolved. FCA US has been working with governmental agencies, insurers and financial institutions with whom customers may interact to ensure successful registration, financing and insurance coverage. Renegade and 500X vehicles are being shipped and are in stock at dealerships for purchase. The VIN issue is entirely separate from the operation of the vehicle.
Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
