1986 Jeep Cj-7 Solid, Original From California!!! on 2040-cars

Year:1986 Mileage:114143
Location:

Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, United States

Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, United States

This is an original well-maintained documented California Jeep CJ-7.  The previous owner is a known actor who was returning home to New York from Los Angeles, driving the Jeep to Pennsylvania in 2010.  I’ve kept it in a garage ever since.  Service records include:

California (previous owner)

85200:  Distributor and Ignition Coil

85322:  Valve Cover, Transmission Mounts, Motor Mounts

85515:  Borla Exhaust

89500:  Brake Master Cylinder

100900:  Radiator

101100:  Alternator

108408:  Ignition Control Module

Pennsylvania

110884:  General Grabber HTS C Tires, Alignment, Rear Brakes, Full Tune Up, Battery, Carburetor Adjustment and Timing Adjustment

112343:  Valve Stem Seals, Starter Motor

114037:  Steering Stabilizer, Sway Bar, Sway Bar Link Kit and Heater Core

The Jeep starts, runs, and drives like it should.  Everything works unless I mention otherwise.   I would not hesitate to take it anywhere but I don’t recommend any CJ-7 for a nervous or inexperienced driver.  There are no fluid leaks.  There are no problems with the clutch or transmission.  Factory computer control has been disconnected from carburetor for obvious reasons, but all components left in place if you want to restore.  The factory cardboard glove box insert is gone and door does not open easily.  The speedometer works but is shaky.

The paint appears to be original with some touch-ups and imperfections.  There is a hole on either side of the windshield frame from a removed accessory.  Paint is faded around sticker decals, which I had removed.   See picture.  There is no rust.

The hard doors are not original to this Jeep but are their correct virgin color.  I suspect this Jeep was sold with soft doors only.  I only have the bikini top for the Jeep however most accessories are already in place for a Bestop.  If you purchase the Jeep and want a Bestop installed (for transport), I will have that done at most reasonable cost to buyer.

The radio works but is temperamental.  I’m not sure that all speakers are working.  The front speakers appear fairly new good speakers and the rear speakers look dated.

The Jeep has a current PA state inspection and registration.  Clear title in my name is ready for transfer to new owner. It’s becoming hard to find an unmolested and solid CJ-7.

Winning bidder must pay a $300.00 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours or I reserve the right to relist.  Full payment in 10 days.  Jeep cannot be returned and no refunds will be issued once it leaves my possession.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota

Wed, Feb 25 2015

It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Jeep teases pair of Moab concepts early

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

With the 47th annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari coming up at the end of this month, Jeep is preparing to roll out six new off-road-ready concept vehicles. The first two being teased are the Jeep Grand Cherokee "Trailhawk II" concept and the Jeep Wrangler "Slim," and while we have no information on either, we at least get an idea of what they'll look like.
We can't tell why this Wrangler is called Slim, but it has a nice black-and-red paint scheme with a serious off-roading front bumper and five-spoke beadlock wheels. There's even less we can figure out about the Grand Cherokee's Trailhawk II concept except that it appears to be painted up in the same Crusher Orange paint job as the recently introduced SRT Viper TA. We'll likely more of these as well as peeks at the other Moab concepts as we get closet to this year's Moab Easter Jeep Safari, which will be held March 23 through 31.

Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver is a more rugged Trailhawk

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We briefly mentioned the Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver that was heading to SEMA last week when discussing the Mopar lineup set to be shown in Las Vegas. At the time, though, we weren't able to dive too deeply into details. But with SEMA in full swing, we were able to sneak over and grab some snaps of one of the first modified Cherokees we've seen. The Cherokee is, after all, kind of an unknown quantity in the modification department, being so new and featuring such a polarizing design. We were quite interested to see what Mopar could come up with.
Starting with the Trailhawk 4x4 and its 3.2-liter V6, the engine is fitted with a Mopar cold-air intake and a new exhaust, although it's not clear what sort of power boost has resulted. We'll admit, we were hoping Jeep and Mopar would get a bit more aggressive with the Cherokee's suspension (has anyone thrown a few-inch lift on the new Jeep yet?), but there's no mention of upgrades beyond the knobby, off-road tires. Those should do some good when the going gets rough, while rock rails are there to protect the Auburn Pearl paint on the body.
Speaking of that paint, it's complemented by an interesting graphics package in contrasting black and Crush Orange. The cabin sports Katzkin Amaretto leather seats, along with tech-friendly items like a wireless charging system for cellphones and wireless internet.
