1985 Jeep Cj7 Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
North Franklin, Connecticut, United States
Engine:6 cyl 258
Used
Year: 1985
Drive Type: 4WD
Make: Jeep
Mileage: 3,000
Model: CJ
Warranty: Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty
Trim: Basic
Frame-off restoration completed in 2012. Frame professionally sandblasted and painted. Rebuilt both axles (Dana 44 rear and AMC 30 front). New 3.53 gears, leaf springs and shocks. New Jasper engine (@3000 miles on it now). T 176 4 speed manual transmission. 1989 Wrangler tub, undercoated with Eastwood product and inside was Herculined. Professional paint job on the outside. Painless wiring kit. All new gauges. New gas tank, brakes, all stainless brake lines, fuel lines, even flexible brake lines are braided. 1" body lift, 1.5 inch shackle lift. 33" Pro Comp tires. Vintage seats with "CJ" logo (pictured). I used an HEI distributor, so no coil. All accessories (PS pump, alternator, starter, radiator, power brake booster) brand new. Even lower steering column is new. PSC hi performance steering box. Clearly, no expense was spared. Everything on this Jeep is either new or refurbished. Odometer: Before the restoration, the old Jeep had 126,000 miles. I used the best odometer I had, which stated 16,901. It now states 19,800 miles. So I have put @3000 miles on it since completion. This is one of the cleanest Jeeps you'll find. Not used off road, but she'd love to go :). Only a few minor issues: Gas gauge does not work. Worked for awhile, then quit. Small paint bubble on passenger's door (pictured), couple other nicks and scratches, nothing major. $20,000 invested in this project, reserve price is much less than that. If you're looking for a clean, tough CJ, look no further!

Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
FCA is setting a five-year strategy: Here's how the last one played out
Thu, May 31 2018We're slightly more than four years removed from Sergio Marchionne last five-year plan for FCA, a tell-all where the Italian-American automaker divulged its plans for the 2014 through 2018 model years. It was a grand affair, where Sergio told FCA investors that all was right in Auburn Hills, Alfa Romeo and Maserati were making comebacks, and the fifth-gen Dodge Viper received a mid-cycle refresh. You can read every last one of those past predictions right here. We're on our way to Europe to see Sergio's sequel, coming out Friday straight from FCA's Italian headquarters. (Bloomberg reports a plan to expand Jeep and Ram globally, combine Alfa Romeo and Maserati into a single division for an eventual spinoff, and downsizing Fiat and Chrysler. Also, EVs.) But before we arrive in Italy and find out exactly what Marchionne has planned for 2019 through 2023 as his last act as CEO, let's take a minute to tally up the results of his last term based on the same scoresheet we used in 2014. Now, we're only five months into 2018, so much of this — including vehicles like the Ram HD and Jeep Grand Wagoneer — could still debut this year. For those, we'll mark things TBD. We're not going to draw any conclusions or make any objectionable remarks. We're simply going to let the stats speak for themselves.
