Original paint rust free Arizona 1986 Jeep CJ7

VIN: 1JCCF87E0GT010658

1986 Jeep CJ7 with a 4.2 liter engine and a 5 speed transmission.  The optional equipment on the Jeep are:  Air conditioning, Laredo package.  This Jeep was sold new in Palmdale California.  It spent until 2004 in California.  The last 10 years in Arizona.  The dry climate preserved the body.  There is no evidence of rust or body damage.  The CARFAX indicates there was an accident where an airbag deployed.  There is no airbag, and I find no evidence of body work or paint.  The truck has been sitting in a barn for over two years.  It could not pass emissions in California or Arizona.  The title is clean.  If you have ever read any of my vehicle adds you will know that I am brutally honest with my descriptions.  I do not flip cars for a living I have a full time business I am not an expert on Jeeps, but I am always happy to speak to someone if they have question. There are links below to a video of the Jeep driving, a walk around, and the engine running.  Also there is a link to over 100 pictures where I show the good bad and the ugly.  Please feel free to call me at 602-908-9267 with any questions.

Body/Tub- The tub of the jeep has no evidence of rust or body work. .  All of the original Sebring Red paint appears to be original.  The clear coat is almost totally gone on the hood and front fenders.  The stickers are very faded with small chips and scratches.  The passenger front fender has slight wrinkling on the top which is hard to see, and the camera would not pick it up.  There are small dents and bruises on the truck.  The interior of the tub is straight with scuff marks, but most of the original paint still shines.  The bottom of the tub is very clean.  Still shows a very thin layer of Sebring red over gray primer.  I belie all of the paint under the truck to be original.  Again no evidence of rust at all.  There is small amounts of undercoating on the tub, but it also looks original.

Interior-The cloth front seats and the back bench do not match.  The cloth is well used, but complete.  The back seat is in good shape.  All of the gauges work.  The radio has been relocated to Masterrac box in between the seats.  It works well with speakers in the dash and in the Masterrac boxes mounted on the rear fenders.  I have some of the keys for the boxes, but not all of them. Caret in the rear of the Jeep only.  Carpet is old and faded.  The under dash A/C has been removed.  The gauge in the radio slot is for the air pump system.  The A/C compressor is now used as a compressor with a small tank under the hood.  I tried to get it to work, but it appears to be non-operational.    Dash is clean with no cracks. The gauges in the dash work.  I’m not sure they are accurate but they operate.  The plastic bezel around the gauges is cracked.  The wiring under the dash is a bit of a spaghetti mess. 

Engine/Transmission/ Drive Train- the 4.2 liter engine appears to be completely original.  It cleaned up well, but it is in desperate need of a tune up.  My guess is a major tune up will get the Jeep close to passing emissions, but the catalytic converter is more than likely in need of replacement.  There is a small coolant leak coming from the upper radiator hose connection.  The Jeep ran hot the day I drove it to take pictures.  It was 109 degrees with 50% humidity so I was running hot as well.  In the pictures you can see the air pump system.  The nozzle is in the front grill.  The transmission shifts OK.  The clutch engages and disengages OK.  A little chatter from what I think is the throughout baring.  Four wheel drive engages.  4 High and 4 low appear to work as they are supposed to.  Please look at the link below to hear the engine running.  The locking hubs appear to work fine.

Chassis-We cleaned the bottom of the truck off  and painted the frame so it would not rust.  The chassis appears to be straight and original.  The lift is a 6” Superlift.  The shocks are Ranch RS 5000’s.  I do not know how old they are, but I suspect they have been on the truck a long time.  The tires are Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ’s.  They have no tread ware, but ate date coded 2007.  The aluminum wheels are scuffed and the center caps are bent up. 

I drove the truck about 20 miles.  It wanders and tracks poorly, but it runs good.   Acceleration is strong and shifts well. I am happy to let someone look at it if you want to inspect.  Please call me at 602-908-9267 if you have questions or want to take a look.  The type of cars I sell are Arizona rust free in nature.  This normally results in a great response and many times the auction ending early.  The Jeep is for sale locally so the auction could end if I receive a solid offer.

FCA recalls over 200k Jeep Cherokees for windshield wiper static

Tue, Sep 1 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is issuing a recall for over 200,000 versions of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee due to a problem with static buildup disabling the windshield wipers. FCA has identified 158,671 units in the United States. Another 18,366 vehicles are estimated to be affected in Canada, a further 3,582 in Mexico, and 26,049 outside of North America. The problem, according to the first statement below, results from static building up if the wipers are operated in dry conditions. The static could mess with the wipers' control module, rendering them disabled. To fix the problem, dealers will be instructed to install a ground strap to the module. In parallel, FCA is also offering incentives to the owners of certain trucks that were subject to recall but for which remedies were not immediately available. To encourage those owners to bring their older vehicles in for the required service, the automaker will disperse $100 prepaid cards for use at their discretion. The program is offered to owners of certain model year Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Liberty, Chrysler Aspen, and Dodge Durango sport-utility vehicles, as well as certain Dodge Dakota and Ram trucks. Owners of the affected Grand Cherokees will have the option instead to take a $1,000 consideration toward the purchase of a new vehicle or for parts and service. The offers are only being extended under certain specific criteria, though. So if you think that could be you, you'll want to read through the conditions in the second announcement below. STATEMENT: CONTROL MODULE August 31, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is recalling an estimated 158,671 SUVs in the U.S. to help protect their control modules from static buildup that may potentially disable the vehicles' windshield wipers. An investigation by FCA US discovered static buildup may occur if the vehicles' windshield wipers are activated during dry conditions. Significant static buildup may affect a control module that powers the wipers. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Affected are model-year 2014 Jeep Cherokee SUVs. An estimated 18,366 vehicles will be recalled in Canada, as will an estimated 3,582 in Mexico and 26,049 outside the NAFTA region. Dealers will install a ground strap to the control module to eliminate the potential for static buildup. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which will be performed at no cost.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT gets power increase, minor tweaks for 2015

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

As 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.

We drive the cars of Furious 7... in Forza Horizon 2 [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

On March 27, Turn 10 Studios, the folks behind the Forza Motorsport series, and Universal Pictures, the studio responsible for the Fast and Furious franchise, gave us a match made in heaven, announcing a "standalone expansion" featuring the two franchises. Called Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious, it features the cars from the latest film installment, unique missions and the voice-acting of Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, who plays tech guru Tej Parker on camera. A Fast and Furious video game? Seems like a no brainer. It gets better. Rather than limiting the Fast and Furious Edition cars to the expansion game, Turn 10 made them available through one of their (some may say notorious) downloadable content packages. Eight of the expansion's 11 cars were made available for just $4.99 (the only cars that weren't included were the Fast and Furious Edition Nissan GT-R, while the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and McLaren P1 are already available in-game). What's cool ais that the cars featured in both games are visually identical to the vehicles driven by the stars of Furious 7. Each in-game car has an on-screen parallel that plays a role in advancing the film's story. Considering that we're unlikely to score seat time in Dominic Toretto's real Dodge Charger, then, we figured we'd take to the game and test the car in the digital realm. We've got nine little cluster reviews, covering the cars both in the game and how they appear in the movies. And don't worry, there are no major spoilers here. Click on for the cars of Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Fast and Furious Edition Supercharged 7.2L V8 / 900 HP / 663 LB-FT The one vehicle that is mandatory in a Fast and Furious video game, Dom's hot-rodded 1970 Dodge Charger, is as much a character in the films as its driver. Furious 7 marks the fourth appearance of this Mopar beast in the series. Not surprisingly it's a handful to drive, wildly quick and with a four-speed transmission packed full of very tall gears. But beyond that, it's arguably the coolest of the FF Edition cars. This black beauty is exactly as it appears in the latest installment of the film, with the video game version featuring intricate little details, like the moving parts on the BDS supercharger. It's an iconic car, and it's treated as such in the game.
