1976 Jeep AMC CJ7 Renegade Levis Edition
Manual Drive - 258 Straight Six 

This 1976 Jeep CJ7 is up for sale to settle an estate, it is a garage kept survivor condition Levis Edition Renegade Jeep.  This Jeep had recent motor work to get it up to par and road worthy.  This Jeep is a running and driving survivor CJ7.  The CJ7 enjoys a longer wheelbase and larger door openings than its CJ5 brothers.  This CJ7 Levis Edition Renegade features factory paint, decals and most of its original factory trim.  Please see the pictures for a detailed visual of what is factory and remains original to the vehicle.  If you have any specific detailed questions please send me a message.  You are more than welcome to come and see the vehicle and take it for a test drive.  Everything works as it should mechanically and it runs and drives as it should.  4 wheel drive engages and works as it should.  I have not taken this vehicle off road, I have only drove it on the occasional cool evenings around town.  This is not a restored example of a Levis Edition CJ7 but an original survivor condition running and driving Jeep.  There are some rust spots in the lower rockers, there are dents at the rear corners, there is rust through on the floors that have been strengthened for durability.  We toyed with the idea to replace the front floor pans and repair the rust/dents and repaint and re decal the Jeep but the restoration shop refused and stated it should be sold as is so the future owner could decide what they want to do.  The restoration shop stated that these original untouched Jeeps with their original patina are all the rage and in fashion and it would be better for the future owner to decide what they wanted to do and which direction to take.  This is a great vehicle and brings back memories of my youth.  This Jeep has been in the family for a long time and it is time to let it go to a new home.  

This Jeep features the original rear seat, the original and perfect dash, the original Jeep gauges and steering wheel.  It has a new valve cover gasket, new battery, new radiator hoses, new fuel pump, new fuel filter, new plugs and oil filter and other mechanic services completed.  The front seats are seat covers, the original front seats have tears, the top is a newer Bestop color correct top as the original top is no longer available.  Please take a detailed look at the pictures and if you require more detailed pictures just let me know.

If you have any questions or want specific pictures of anything please feel free to message me.  If you would like to come and drive the vehicle please let me know, we are located in Nashville TN.

2014 Jeep Patriot and Compass ditch CVT for six-speed auto

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

It was reported in Automotive News a few months ago, but a new report on Allpar.com adds some details to news that the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot will get a six-speed automatic to replace the CVTs they currently use. According to a tip provided to Allpar, the 2014 models will begin production in March and be on sale sometime in the summer. The Jatco-sourced CVT in use until now - Jatco is owned by Nissan and Mitsubishi - has been often criticized, and many won't be sad to see it go.
The incoming six-speed automatic is said to be an all-wheel-drive cog-swapper that's the work of Hyundai and Magna and has been paired with the DynaMax AWD system used in the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. It won't be the only Chrysler product using a transmission with ties to Hyundai: the six-speed automatic in the Dodge Dart comes from Powertech, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai. With the Patriot and Compass said to be driving down the trail for the last time this year, it will be a short run for the new tranny and the rumored addition of a backup camera and power rear liftgate on the Compass.

2014 Jeep Cherokee will keep Liberty designation in China... sort of

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Chinese buyers will get their first live look at the 2014 Jeep Cherokee during the Shanghai Motor Show, but CarNewsChina is reporting that it will go by a different name - Ziyou Guan, which translates to "Liberty Light." The article states that our Jeep Liberty was never sold in China, but the iconic XJ Cherokee was sold and produced there as the Qinuoji (a phonetic translation of Cherokee).
The new Jeep Liberty Light will be built alongside the Fiat Viaggio (China's Fiat-badged version of the Dodge Dart) at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant, and the two models will share the same powertrains: a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder base engine paired to a five-speed manual or a dual-clutch transmission and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (the base engine for the US-spec 2014 Cherokee) as an optional engine. It doesn't sound like the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 will be offered in China.
We'll be on hand when the new Jeep debuts in Shanghai, so stay tuned to Autoblog this Friday night and Saturday for our live coverage of the show.

Build a Jeep Gladiator 392 next? The Hummer H3T Alpha blazed the trail

Tue, Nov 17 2020

The 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 will combine the go-anywhere capability of a Jeep's iconic off-roader with the grunt of a V8 for the first time in decades. As cool as that is, we can't help but think Jeep is missing out on a huge opportunity to pair that 470-horsepower, 6.4-liter Hemi V8 with the Wrangler's pickup cousin, the Jeep Gladiator, in the form of a Mojave 392.  Autoblog took part in a media Q&A session with Jeep ahead of the Rubicon 392's announcement in which the company's product higher-ups said that there are currently no official plans to build a 392 variant of the Gladiator pickup. But whether or not Jeep has plans, it certainly has precedent, and from our perspective, a market.  Rewind to 2008, better known as one of the worst possible years to introduce a gas-guzzling, V8-powered pickup truck. Enter the 2009 Hummer H3T Alpha, the first variant of Hummer's midsize truck/SUV hybrid to be offered with a 5.3-liter V8. The 300-horsepower small-block was an upgrade to the sturdy but relatively uninspiring 3.7-liter inline-5 that the H3 lineup had inherited from its midsize pickup platform mates.  As our Jeremy Korzeniewski noted in the Rubicon 392's introductory piece, an open-top Jeep has not been offered with an optional V8 for as long as the "Wrangler" nameplate has existed. The last Jeep 4x4 to do so was still a CJ, or civilian Jeep, and the 304 cubic-inch engine came from American Motors Corporation. Incidentally, this generation of the Wrangler is also the first to be offered in a pickup variant. Cue the beard-stroking.  Now, frankly, it's not even remotely fair to compare the H3T's powertrain offerings to the decade-newer Gladiator's, but the Hummer actually boasts a few advantages over Jeep's modern pickup. While most of the Jeep's off-road specs give it an edge, the Gladiator doesn't come close to the H3T's 30.1-degree departure angle, for instance. And in more practical terms, the stubbier H3T has other maneuverability advantages. The Gladiator has 3" of wheelbase and 5" of overall length on the H3T, and a 22.4-foot turning radius to show for it. The Hummer's? Just 18.5'.
