 I have 1976 Jeep Cj7 for sale. I bought this vehicle while stationed in Alabama, and by the lack of rust I believe it spent all of it's life in the South. The Jeep is almost completely original with the AMC 304 V8 under the hood attached to the original three speed transmission as well. Blinkers and brake lights work. In the pics you will see the original air filter and most of the EGR system in tact. The gentleman I bought it from was a helicopter mechanic and did an excellent job replacing the floor boards, this Jeep is solid. If you're looking for an old Cj with minimal body work this one is for you. The engine runs strong. Some of the discrepancies. I would replace the front fenders which are readily available, looks like someone stood on them at one time, rear view mirror is missing, the side running lights are missing but easily rewired. If you look at the pics you will see original paint under the hood and inside as well, along with the original seats. Here is a Jeep you can put on the road today and make improvements while you enjoy driving in it. And if you're like me you'll appreciate the original hard top as well, especially with our winters. If you have any questions please send me a message and I will respond. Thanks for looking.

You mentioned very little rust. Where is the rust and how bad is it? Is there any way you can send pics of the rust spots? Thanks, Keith

 Hey Keith, I will send all the pictures you want. Well the rust... the floor has been completely replaced and rear tailgate is diamond plate. The little rust I speak of is the rest of the body, the corners are solid, windshield. There is some rust on the bottom of the doors, but not much. I am speaking relatively to any other old Cj I've seen. The last one I rebuilt I had to replace the tub, this one you would not. What is your email? I'm at my limit of pictures on here. I do see it allows me to add photos on here as well. Or please call me at 309 912 6187. John

Can you tell me the condition of Engine( smoke, oil usage) Trans condition and 4x4....Front end condition for as handling...Does the jeep have heat....Thanks

Engine compression is from 119 on the lowest to 135 on the highest. They average out at 129. There is smoke smoke at start up which I believe to be coming from the valve stem seals. But once it's running I'm not seeing any smoke. As far as the front end it does not have power steering or brakes. It seems fine to me, I've driven down the highway up to 80 mph. I live 15 minutes out of town. It shifts through all of the gears smoothly and the 4 wheel drive works. I can tell you it all works. If you have any questions or would like more pictures leave me your email. I can be reached at 309 912 6187. John

Jeep will show new Grand Wagoneer to dealers this summer

Mon, Jun 8 2015

It's generally accepted that the Jeep Cherokee was the first real midsize sport utility vehicle to make headway into the hearts, minds and driveways of American consumers in 1984. While that SUV was aimed at the mainstream, it could be argued that the vehicle that made the idea of a luxury SUV possible was the seminal Jeep Grand Wagoneer. We've been hearing rumblings of a revived Grand Wagoneer for years, but if a report from Automotive News is accurate (despite the fact that it seemingly contradicts an earlier report from the same outlet), the wait may nearly be over. Jeep plans to show off its new Grand Wagoneer at the upcoming dealer show in Las Vegas in August, and while that doesn't give any real indication of when such a vehicle may make it into the hands of consumers, such news probably at least means the automaker has a finalized design. While we're mostly over retro-inspired cars, we'll happily cast a vote toward a three-row Grand Wagoneer with faux woodie body sides, if anyone cares to tally it...

FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger

Sun, Dec 20 2020

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.

Consumer Reports digs Mazda3, disses Jeep Cherokee

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has just rendered its verdict on two of the more important cars to launch this year - the Mazda3 and the Jeep Cherokee. Considering the value a "Recommended" rating carries with the public and the viciously competitive markets these two cars compete in, Consumer Reports' view could have some impact on their initial success.
For Mazda, that's a good thing. CR spoke quite highly of the Zoom-Zoom brand's compact sedan and hatch, testing both models, and citing the excellent fuel economy and snickety-snack manual shifter as high points. Downsides to the 3 included a ride that is agile but "nervous," a bit too much noise and a cramped back seat. Still, the 3 was good enough to earn its place in the ranks of the "Recommended."
The Jeep didn't fare quite so well, with CR calling the polarizing CUV "half-baked." Although both engines were tested, the magazine called the 2.4-liter four-pot underpowered and its nine-speed automatic unrefined and unresponsive. That's particularly damning, considering the 9AT's role in future Chrysler products, including the extremely important 200. Overall, the Cherokee missed out on the coveted "Recommended" rating.
