1985 Jeep Cj7 W/ Rebuilt 305 Chevy And Turbo 350 Automatic on 2040-cars
Rockwall, Texas, United States
When I was looking for a nice CJ - I spent MONTHS searching and drove 100's of miles to see nothing but rust / bondo / oil leaks and vehicles that couldn't stay on the road if it was lined with rails. I purchased this 1985 CJ 7 about a year ago from an individual who had just converted it over to a V-8 Chevy / Auto transmission - all rebuilt items. It was about 95% complete, upon my purchase I immediately took it to a friend of mines Hot Rod shop where he went thru it completely and buttoned up all the "loose ends". He replaced a few gaskets, added a new steering box, flywheel cover, repaired wiring, blinkers, etc. I wanted this Jeep to be safe and road ready for anyone to drive it. Included in this Jeep is a Rebuilt Chevy 305 with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission. Twin stick transfer case that allows Hi / Low in 4wd / 2wd front / 2wd rear. 6" lift. 35" BFG's. Full size spare on swing-out mount. Full soft top with no rips / tears and a new bikini top. Has 2 sets of doors - one soft and another 1/2 steel that I fabricated this past winter. Edelbrock 4 barrel carb, intake, valve covers and chrome headers. All new dual exhaust that has an awesome sound. Runs straight and tight at 75 mph down the highway. Rhino lined tub with full carpet. Heater core installed and has heat AND defrost - Very rare to get this in a Chevy V-8 conversion. Body is rust free and straight. After purchasing, I added all new suspension, steering box, suspension bushings, seat covers, fuel system filter, radio, 4 speakers, front windshield and custom built Stinger front bumper. Speedo doesn't work correctly with the oversize tires, so I added an iPhone mount to the dash and use a GPS app - works perfect. Odometer shows 120K, but I've driven it less than 2,000 since purchase / rebuild. Selling because I now want to get a new Rubicon 4 door, vehicle is available to see in person by appointment in Rockwall Texas - just East of the DFW metroplex off of Interstate 30. I've included as many pictures as I could add - THERE WILL BE NO UNFORSEEN SURPRISES IF YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE OR REVIEW THIS JEEP! It is as nice in person ans it looks in pictures - guaranteed! Thank you for looking - ask any questions - bid with confidence |

Government Ending Jeep Investigation
Tue, Jan 21 2014The government is closing its investigation into older-model Jeeps with fuel tanks that could rupture and cause fires. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday it has "no reservations" with Chrysler Group's plans to recall the vehicles. The agency is expected to release a report on its investigation in a few weeks. The decision ends an unusually public struggle between Chrysler and NHTSA. The agency asked Chrysler to recall 2.7 million Jeeps last June, contending that their gas tanks - which are positioned behind the rear axle - were at risk of rupturing and catching fire in rear-end crashes. Involved were Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 1993 to 2004 model years and Liberty SUVs from 2002 to 2007. Chrysler initially refused to recall the vehicles. The company said the rate of fuel leaks and fires after crashes was similar to comparable vehicles that were sold during the time in question. It was the first time in two years that an automaker had refused NHTSA's request for a recall. Chrysler later agreed to recall 1.56 million of the Jeeps and install trailer hitches on them to help protect the gas tanks. The company sent notices to the remaining customers saying their vehicles were fine if they have factory-installed or Chrysler-made trailer hitches. NHTSA said late Friday that it has been in close contact with Chrysler and will monitor the recall as it continues. Chrysler has told customers that it will start installing the hitches soon. "Consumers should have their vehicles serviced promptly once they receive final notification from Chrysler,"NHTSA said in a statement. In its own statement Friday, Chrysler said, "We share NHTSA's commitment to safety." NHTSA's outgoing chief, David Strickland, told The Associated Press in an interview last month that Chrysler had convinced NHTSA that the Jeeps were no more dangerous than similar vehicles sold at that time. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," Strickland said. Friday was Strickland's last day at NHTSA. He is joining Venable, a law firm. NHTSA began investigating the Jeeps at the request of the Center for Auto Safety, a Washington-based advocacy group. "It is tragic that NHTSA approved Chrysler's sham trailer hitch recall for Jeeps that explode in rear impacts," the Center for Auto Safety's director, Clarence Ditlow, said Friday.
Jeep lays out 5-year plan, including rebirth of Grand Wagoneer and new C-segment offering
Tue, 06 May 2014Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Machionne presented a five-year plan for the company brands this morning, with Jeep first up on a long day of presentation. Jeep's head honcho Michael Manley wasted no time in laying out what the foreseeable future will look like for what he calls the "lead global brand" of the company.
Big goals for the next half-decade will include expanding the lineup from five nameplates built in one country, to six nameplates build in six countries. That expansion of models will include both a three-row competitor, and, of course, a small vehicle to slot below Cherokee. The company is also seeking to add a whopping 1,300 dealers over the next few years, to sell all this new metal, and has an aggressive goal of doubling Jeep sales by the time 2018 rolls around.
As expected, that first salvo from the off-road brand will be the debut of the much ballyhooed Renegade small crossover in the third quarter of this year. Jeep has already designated that Renegade will get refreshed for the 2017 model year, as well.
Gilles defends 2014 Jeep Cherokee design as "very contemporary"
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Following the forced-hand introduction of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, there has definitely been a mix of responses revolving around everything from its design to the return of the legendary nameplate. As evidence of this, just check out the 1,000+ comments in our article last week and some of the many opinions that were voiced. Following this not-too-warm reception, Ward's Auto had a chance to talk to Chrysler designer chief - and SRT president - Ralph Gilles, who shed a little more light on the styling direction of the new Cherokee.
Rather than looking to previous models for inspiration, Gilles says that the Cherokee has been designed to be more contemporary, with Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, adding that a main goal was to make sure the design still looks modern five years from now. Interestingly, Gilles does point out that one of the design elements incorporated on the new Cherokee that pays homage to past Jeeps is the sharply downward angle for the leading edge of the beltline, which he notes is meant to mimic the look of the old YJ and TJ Wrangler models fitted with half doors. Of course, the squared-off wheel openings - a signature Jeep cue - are still used.
This is probably a design that will need to be seen on the street in actual daylight to properly assess, but in the meantime, we'll bring you full images and impressions when the Cherokee debuts at next month's New York Auto Show.
