Ashburn, Virginia, United States
For Sale 1985 Jeep CJ-7 125,500 Miles VIN: 1JCCM87A2FT022294 OverviewYou are looking at a 3 owner 1985 CJ-7. This Jeep has been built for reliability, safety and the ability to do some mild trail riding. Lots attention to detail make this Jeep enjoyable both on and off the highway. It is titled, insured and passed emissions inspections up until it was registered as an antique in 2010. It drives and tracks well. Both axles are equipped with Detroit lockers and alloy axle shafts. The power steering is tight and the hydraulically boosted brakes are powerful. The emergency brake system was just serviced and holds well. All the electrical components work including the windshield washers and dash lights. The speedometer works and is accurate. There are lots of extras on this Jeep. See below. The fuel injection and ignition systems are fully programmable and a netbook and software is included for tuning and engine monitoring if you wish to do so. The EFI system uses an Innovate wide band O2 sensor for maximum tuning accuracy. The Jeep was purchased new in Texas and kept as a daily driver for many years. I am the third owner, with the second being a close family member. The Jeep was moved to the East Coast in 2002 and has been garaged or under a carport its entire life. It has been regularly serviced and has run Mobil One fully synthetic engine oil for most of its life. The roll cage was fabricated by a well-known fabrication shop, A to Z Fabrication, on the East Coast. It's main strucutre, made from 2" DOM tubing, is triangulated in numerous spots and mounts the suspension seats and five point Crow harnesses. The factory style seat belts were maintained and integrated into the roll cage for convenience. This gives you the option of wearing either the regular seatbelt or the 5 point harness. The seatbelts themselves are brand new. The Jeep is set up for flat towing and comes with a tow bar. The Jeep is sporting its original paint with spots of touch up paint in various locations around the vehicle. Known Issues: There is minor rust through in two of the four spots where the original rollbar met the body. These areas were not painted at the factory and tend to collect water and rust. It was not visible when the original roll bar was installed in the Jeep. See photos and video. Otherwise there is no rust through on the body or frame, only minor surface rust in the wheel wells and tub floor where the paint has been worn off. There has been no body work done to this vehicle. All the body panels are original and there is no body filler on this vehicle. The body has a few minor dents, including the front left fender, the rear right corner and the right rocker panel (not visible under the rocker guard). See photos. The engine drips a few drops of oil after being run for a long period of time. There is a very minor gear oil leak at the rear differential cover. It leaks a drop or two after being driven. The jeep will pop out of second gear on steep down hills. This is most likely a worn syncro, but it doesn't affect normal shifting. The front most exhaust manifold bolt hole on the head failed many years ago. A bracket was fabricated and installed to replace the bolt. The heater's air "recirculation" control cable is broken. The vehicle has no accident history and a clear Carfax history, which is available. Note that per Virginia law, the license plates will be removed before transfer. The buyer will be responsible for reregistering the vehicle in order to legally operate it on Virginia roads.

Refreshed Chrysler 300 SRT won't be sold in NA
Mon, 20 Oct 2014It looks like it might be time to bid farewell to the V8 rumble from the Chrysler 300 SRT - at least if you live in North America. The reported change comes as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reshuffles its ranks with the Dodge brand, re-absorbing SRT and building its muscular reputation with the Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Meanwhile, Chrysler is taking a more mainstream approach, and that likely means the end of overt high-performance models from the division for now.
According to Automotive News, the 300 SRT will be discontinued in the US for 2015, but it won't be totally dead. Some right-hand drive markets will still get the brawny V8 sedan next year, a distinction that goes a long way toward explaining some spy shots we've seen recently.
The 300 SRT's North American demise probably shouldn't come as a total shock. In FCA's five-year plan, it says that the 300 is destined for a refresh to be unveiled later this year, presumably at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. There's no mention of the SRT model in the document, though, which seems to signal its end.
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT gets power increase, minor tweaks for 2015
Tue, 02 Sep 2014As a brand within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, SRT may have an uncertain future, but it's pumping out some seriously mean machines anyway. The supercharged Hellcat V8 may be gobbling up most of the headlines with its 707 horsepower, but even the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting some small updates for the 2015 model year.
Most importantly for many enthusiasts, the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting a slight power bump. Don't expect the 700+ hp from the Hellcat, but this SUV sees a modest 5-hp and 5-pound-feet of torque improvement to bring output to 475 hp and 470 lb-ft for its 6.4-liter V8 with an eight-speed automatic. The minor change doesn't change the sprint to 60 miles per hour, clocking in at the same 4.8 seconds, or the tow rating at 7,200 pounds. Still, more grunt is never a bad idea.
Another new addition is the Active Noise Canceling system as a standard feature for this powerful SUV. It adds four microphones around the vehicle and uses the stereo system to nullify extraneous sound. However, Jeep claims that the meaty exhaust note from the V8 still gets through into the cabin for driver enjoyment.
Weekly Recap: Matthew McConaughey's star shines brightly for Lincoln
Sat, Jan 3 2015The commercials were a little strange at first, but the ensuing spoofs were hilarious. And all jokes aside, Matthew McConaughey has made a difference for Lincoln. Advertisements starring the Oscar winner launched in September, and the results have been impressive. The number of customers clicking on Lincoln.com to check out the MKC – the crossover McConaughey pitched – has tripled since the ads began airing, a spokesman told Autoblog. They also generated 4.4 million views on YouTube and spawned parodies by Ellen DeGeneres, Conan O'Brien, South Park and Jim Carrey on Saturday Night Live, which racked up another 15 million views. Most importantly, Lincoln's sales have increased 15 percent through November, helped significantly by the strong launch of the MKC. Without the addition of the MKC, Lincoln's sales would have been essentially flat last year. The MKC has received solid reviews from consumers and the press, though it has had several recalls. "The overwhelming response to the MKC campaign sparked truly great awareness for Lincoln," Andrew Frick, Lincoln group marketing manager, said in a statement. Now Lincoln has launched another round of spots, which kicked off New Year's Day during college football bowl games. This time, McConaughey is hawking the MKZ sedan and its hybrid sibling. The spots, called Diner and Balance, use the same artistic formula as the earlier ads, with McConaughey intoning seriously about the cars in dramatic settings. They were shot over two days in Los Angeles and were directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, a Danish filmmaker who directed the 2011 move, Drive. The ads continue Lincoln's multiyear deal with McConaughey, who has said he's been long been interested in the brand. He starred in the 2011 thriller, The Lincoln Lawyer, as a defense attorney who worked out of a Town Car, though that was before his deal with Lincoln. In one of the earlier ads, McConaughey claims: "I've been driving a Lincoln since long before anybody paid me to drive one. I didn't do it to be cool. I didn't to it to make a statement. I just liked it." That sentiment appears to have worked for the MKC's launch, and with this new advertising blitz, Lincoln hopes it carries over to the MKZ.
