Jeep Cj7 1985 Automatic Cj 7 on 2040-cars
Lake Zurich, Illinois, United States
|
I bought this 1985 Jeep CJ7 V-6 Automatic in 2010 right here on ebay for $6k. My daughter used this as a local commuter car to college and work. She has been out of state for two years and this CJ has only been occasionally driven…it is begging for a new home.
This jeep is 29 years old and so it needs TLC and a loving new owner to keep it going another 30 years.
The previous owner purchased this Jeep from a local school district in 2007 with 23k miles. The district used the Jeep around the property and to plow snow hence the low miles. The gent I bought the CJ from added a new fiberglass tub, replaced the carb, brakes, rotors, brake lines, seats, wheels, tires, he also replaced the tail lights, the soft top and doors , the re-paint looks good from far but is not great, it has a 4" lift. He also added a tow bar for pulling behind his motor home (the tow bar is included). The tub was Rhino lined and there is a heavy duty rear bumper with hitch.
We have sunk another $2k plus into the CJ to keep it going. Our work included a new muffler, radiator and gas tank (the sending unit should be good but the gauge is not working). The other gauges are new and the main dash knobs are new. There is a cheap am/fm stereo with some decent speakers in front/back (an audiophile will want to upgrade the stereo). I’ll include notes from my ASE mechanic on some of the work done and three jeep books (see picture) the Jeep Owner’s Bible and two editions of the Haynes Jeep CJ Repair Manual. There is a Meyer 6' plow with power angle that is included but it’s in rough shape and would need patches welded to make it workable (the pictures don’t show how rough it is). I also need to add some pneumatic fluid to ensure it will raise the plow as it’s not working right now even though the electronics for the plow work. Reserve is set lower than my 2010 cost and the car is listed locally. I will answer questions via ebay and have tried to be very fair with the listing so you know what you are bidding on. This is an as-is sale with no warrantee stated or implied. |

Stellantis and Foxconn's new joint venture will focus on connectivity
Wed, May 19 2021MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis and TaiwanÂ’s Foxconn announced plans to develop a jointly operated automotive supplier focusing on technology to make vehicles more connected, including artificial intelligence-based applications and 5G communications. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said the services that will be developed through the tie-up “will mark the next great evolution of our industry,” alongside fully electrified and hybrid powertrains. The deal brings together Stellantis, the worldÂ’s 4th-largest automaker formed this year by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Peugeot, and Foxconn, a major supplier of iPhones. The companies said the venture would focus on such services as infotainment, the integration of telecommunications and computer systems, artificial intelligence-based applications, 5G communications, e-commerce channels and smart cockpit integration. The companies announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding to form a 50-50 joint venture called Mobile Drive, which will be based in the Netherlands and function as an automotive supplier also to other carmakers. The new venture will combine advanced consumer electronics, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) to create new services “that will exceed customer expectations,” the companies said in a release. “Customers today and, in the future, demand and expect ever-increasing software-driven and creative solutions to connect the drivers and passengers with the vehicle inside and out,Â’Â’ Foxconn Chairman Young Liu.

This American Life spends a week selling Jeeps in Long Island
Thu, 19 Dec 2013So you think you know car dealers? Well, maybe you do, but This American Life spent a month at Town and Country Jeep Chrysler Doge Ram in Long Island to give us a behind-the-scenes look (or listen, since it's a radio program) at what it's like to be a car dealer.
Yes, there's a lot of swearing in thick New York accents, frustration, confusion, and generally it's a madhouse at the dealership. But that's understandable when the sales staff has to sell 129 vehicles in October in order to get an $85,000 manufacturer bonus - with several other Jeep dealerships within a 10-mile radius.
The episode, 129 Cars, is worth a listen, but make sure you have 71 minutes to spare if you want to get through it in one sitting. Head here for the unedited version or here for the bleeped version (which is 58 minutes long).
2015 Jeep Cherokee finds a bit more fuel mileage thanks to stop/start and aero tweaks
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Just a year after it burst onto the scene, Jeep has already made a pretty substantial addition to its V6-powered Cherokee, which has proven to be an extremely popular seller so far for the brand, adding a new stop-start system for the midsize, off-road-ready CUV.
The addition of stop-start included a few aerodynamic tweaks to the Cherokee's polarizing body, resulting in a wallet-pleasing increase in fuel economy. According to the EPA, the front-drive, V6-powered Jeep will now return 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, up from 19 city and 28 highway. Four-wheel-drive, V6-powered Cherokees, meanwhile, will now return 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, up from 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg.
With 271 horsepower, 239 pound-feet of torque and these newly enhanced figures, it's refreshing to see a larger, naturally aspirated engine that is still able to take the fight to today's crop of small-displacement, turbocharged four-cylinders.
