 Up for auction is a 1985 Jeep CJ7 Hard Top 6 cylinder 4 speed manual. Unmolested. This is a frame on restoration. The majority of the vehicle is factory original with the exception of the paint, seats, shocks, and carpet.
The Good -
  • Mechanically sound and everything mechanical operates as it should. All gauges, bulbs, and switches work. Starts right up, goes down the road straight, and stops on a dime.
  • The seats are all brand new BestTop vinyl and the carpet is also brand new (ACC DuPont cut pile in black)
  • Only 77,500 original miles
  • 1985 Sanyo high power cassette deck (refurbished) and 6x9 speakers in Sound Wedge boxes. Original paper behind speaker openings in the dash.
  • Perfect windshield. Perfect original dash pad.
  • New Duralast battery.
  • Many new lines, hoses, bulbs, and belts. All fresh fluids.

Things to know -

  • A very tiny drip at the rear main seal. Maybe a drip a day.
  • All 5 tires have less than 500 miles on them, but they do not all match. The spare tire may very well be the original spare, a standard Goodyear Wrangler. Three of the tires on the ground are Goodyear Wrangler APT. The fourth tire on the ground is a Goodyear Wrangler SRA. I have not changed them because the new owner may have their own preference in tires and tire size. All are original size 235 75r15.
  • Just a little bit of surface rust barely showing on the front fenders behind the tires (typical spot). It's not getting any worse is isn't very noticeable. Any other rust appears to have been removed or repaired. There is a new floor on the drivers side. I have another brand new one piece replacement but it isn't really needed at this time.
  • The paint is not original. It shines up very well with very few scratches, but there are a couple of little paint runs on those front fenders. The hard top has been painted black with texture. There is a spot on the very top where that paint peeled and was touched up. There is some over-spray from the new paint on the rear bumper that could probably be buffed off or have the bumper repainted, and a little bit on the edges of the dash.. I have new "Jeep" front fender stickers to go with it (paid $50) in case the new owner wants to clean up those fenders. I don't think that is worth doing yet.
  • I have all 5 chrome wheels, 4 are on the ground. The current spare wheel is a white factory wheel with a BestTop tire cover over it. The fifth chrome wheel would need to be polished and then mounted, but does come with this.
  • Needs rear seat belts.

This is a frame on restoration. It's not perfect but it needs very little and is suitable to be a daily driver. The paint job isn't perfect, but it's not too bad either. The frame is super solid without any rust at all. The underside has been painted and lightly undercoated. This Jeep went from Florida, to Kansas City, to Eastern Nebraska just a year or two ago which is why there is only very minor surface rust.

Please ask questions or come and see it. Message me and we can talk on the phone if you like. You need to ask questions! More pictures are available.

I will not deliver, but I will do my part on this end to help load or make it available for transport. For near locals, I may be able to meet you part way.

Only bid if you are serious and have the money to buy it.

A $1000 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of end of auction. The remainder of the balance due must be paid within 7 days.

I do not need any help selling this vehicle and this is not a must sell situation.

Jeep is for sale locally so it could be removed at any time before reserve is met. Reserve is set for what I have in it.

No warranty of any kind. As is.

Retro Review covers that Jeep Wrangler TJ you wanted in high school

Fri, May 8 2015

The Jeep Wrangler TJ holds a dear place in my heart. When they were introduced, the return to circular headlights helped pull my dad into the dealer, and he bought one. A few years later, I learned how to drive a stick in that Jeep. Now, MotorWeek has fired up the time machine for a look at the '97 Wrangler as part of the Retro Review series. One of the great things about these videos is that they offer a chance to see if nostalgia lives up to reality. In this situation, that seems to be the mostly case. Even when new, MotorWeek finds a lot to praise about the TJ, especially in terms of handling and style. It's not all perfect, though, with a major complaint about the braking. Watch the clip to see if the show's take on the Wrangler lives up to your memories of them, too.

Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
