For sale ONLY on eBay - Highest bidder wins! This is my wife's toy. She has a clear title in hand. This is the 8th Jeep we have owned and the coolest of them all. My wife wanted a toy that looked good, sounded good, is fun to drive and that she could drop the top and take to the local cruise in. She has owned this Jeep going on three years and due to health issues she does not get to enjoy it enough to keep it. The Jeep is always garage kept and gets a lot of attention everywhere it goes. This Jeep started it's life as a 1979 CJ5 Renegade. A few years back the owner before us did a complete frame off restoration lifted the Jeep and professionally added a new 350 Chevy V8 with a TH350 automatic transmission, B & M shifter with reverse lock out and a Ford 9 inch rear end. This included advance adapters and a full Painless wiring harness. Current mileage showing on the odometer since new motor and complete rebuild is 20,927 as of today. This could change slightly as I try to drive it a few miles every weekend. Since we have owned it we replaced the steering wheel, fully updated the windshield wiper system, added leather front race seats and the rock slider rails to the sides as steps. We also last year completely updated the fuel system from the tank to the carburator with new sending unit, hoses, filter, electric pump, pressure regulator and dash mounted electric switch for the pump. We upgraded and added new oil pressure, water temperature and volt meter gauges to the dash and added a steering mounted tachometer. The Jeep received a complete tune up in December with plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, etc. Just last week it got an engine oil change and filter, a new transmission filter and fluid and the front differential fluid was changed. The Jeep starts right up and drives and shifts as it should. It has manual lock out hubs on the front axle and the four wheel drive system works as it should in both high and low range. Everything works on the Jeep and it just passed North Carolina inspection last month with no problems. Three things to mention are the horn does work but only if the steering wheel is turned slightly left or right. The cam button needs to be replaced in the steering column. These can usually be purchased around $10.00. The factory fuel gauge does also work but it not 100% accurate. It reads full when filled up but gets to empty before all the fuel is used up. I thought the new sending unit would correct that but it did not. It has a 15 gallon tank and usually only takes 8 to 10 gallons when showing empty. The four wheel drive indicator light is not hooked. You simply shift into four wheel low or high by feel and know when you are in four wheel drive. The tires have less than 2000 miles on them with plenty of tread left. They are Mickey Thompson 33 x 12.50. This Jeep is LOUD with the headers and side pipes! Warn 9000 Lb Winch w/ hand held remote that easily reaches to the drivers seat. Full custom welded roll bar. Power Steering / Power Brakes / Tilt steering The full top and soft doors are in very good condition and it also comes with a bikini top. The paint really shines. There is a small ding on top of both front fenders and one on the hood. There are a couple of paint chips on the drivers side entry that are covered when the soft doors are on. I had a leak around the transmission pan gasket and purchased a new cast aluminum extra capacity pan. Unfortunately it would not clear the front drive shaft. I changed the fluid and filter and added a new gasket but still have a very slight leak on the drivers side front corner. I just torqued the bolts slightly more and hope this resolves the issue but fell a new pan is needed. I'll let the pictures speak for the rest. You are welcome to come and drive and inspect the Jeep before bidding. Please feel free to ask any questions. I will respond promptly and post all answers here for everyone to see. Happy Bidding |

Jeep leads list of 25 most patriotic brands
Thu, 04 Jul 2013It's not unusual to feel extra patriotic this time of year, what with the Fourth of July being today and all. As if to celebrate, New York-based research firm Brand Keys conducted a study among 4,500 consumers about what brands they find to be the most patriotic. According to the Detroit Free Press, Jeep took top honors in this study, besting other American stalwart brands including Coca-Cola, Levi's and Hershey's.
Interestingly, the only other automotive brand to make the list was Ford, in the 16th spot (motorcycle fans take note - Harley-Davidson claimed the No. 13 slot). This means consumers found Jeep to be more patriotic than any of the brands in the General Motors portfolio, including Chevrolet, which has long used American themes in its advertising over the decades.
According to Brand Keys, Jeep came in "with a score of 98 out of 100 on a scale representing consumers' emotional engagement expectations," the Detroit Free Press reports. Be sure to read the report to scan the entire Top 25 list for yourself.
Stellantis reports surprising 2020 results, is 'off to a flying start'
Wed, Mar 3 2021MILAN — Low global car inventories and cost cuts should boost Stellantis's profit margins this year, though a shortage of semiconductors and investments in electric vehicles could weigh on results, the newly-formed automaker said on Wednesday. The forecast came as Stellantis, created by the January merger of Peugeot-maker PSA and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), reported better-than-expected results for 2020 that sent its shares up around 3% in morning trading. "Stellantis gets off to a flying start and is fully focused on achieving the full promised synergies (from the merger)," Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said in a statement. Stellantis is the world's fourth largest carmaker, with 14 brands including Fiat, Peugeot, Opel, Jeep, Ram and Maserati. It said 2021 results should be helped by three new high-margin Jeep vehicles in North America and a strong pricing environment there. The U.S. market has driven profits for years at FCA and starts off as the strongest part of Stellantis. The group's guidance assumes no more significant lockdowns caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which shuttered auto plants around the world last spring. Stellantis should also get a lift as its starts to implement a plan aimed at delivering over 5 billion euros a year in savings, without closing any plants. Tavares has also pledged not to cut jobs. But a pandemic-related global shortage of semiconductors, used for everything from maximizing engine fuel economy to driver-assistance features, could hurt business. Auto industry executives have said the shortage should ease by the second half of 2021. Stellantis said its "electrification offensive" could also weigh on results this year. Automakers are racing to develop electric vehicles to meet tighter CO2 emissions targets in Europe and this week Volvo joined a growing number of carmakers aiming for a fully-electric line-up by 2030. Stellantis plans to have fully-electric or hybrid versions of all of its vehicles available in Europe by 2025, broadly in line with plans at top rivals such as Volkswagen and Renault-Nissan, although Stellantis has further to go to meet that goal. The carmaker is targeting an adjusted operating profit margin of 5.5%-7.5% this year. That compares with a 5.3% aggregated margin last year: 4.3% at FCA and 7.1% at PSA excluding a controlling stake in parts maker Faurecia, which is set to be spun-off from Stellantis shortly.
