1986 Jeep Cj-7 Renegade Original Rare Rust Free Survivor Hard Top on 2040-cars

Year:1986 Mileage:48822
Location:

Roswell, Georgia, United States

Up for auction is my 1986 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade - Original, rust free survivor!  Last year of the CJ-7! 

Reserve is WELL BELOW the market on this CJ!  I am listing TO SELL, not for my health!  You're not wasting your time bidding on this listing! 

This CJ has the rarest interior color of all non special edition CJ7's -  Garnet!  

I purchased this rare piece of automotive history in December of 2013 out of Amarillo Texas with 48k original miles. (After looking for it for 2 years)

I had the Jeep extensively checked out by a local dealer, and per their recommendation, I had all differential fluids changed, rear brakes replaced (with brake seals), engine oil & transmission fluid replaced, coolant & coolant hoses were replaced, as well as having it tuned up.  This is a 'no apologies' CJ! 

I have never noticed any leaks on the Jeep, and would have no issue driving it cross country.  (And back) 

This CJ has the 258 inline 6 cylinder (4.2 liter) with the extremely high demand T-176 4 speed transmission backing it up, with an AMC 20 rear axel.  The Jeep cranks easily, idles smooth, and drives perfect.  The T-176 shifts great, with the throws tight and notchy, and the Power Steering make the Jeep effortless to control.

The paint and decals appear to be completely original.  The paint's clear coat is chipping on the hood, and the hood also has with 2 paint chips on it, with just the normal amount of wear and tear elsewhere.  The cowl's paint is thinning - but not bad at all.  (Please remember this is a survivor). The Renegade decals are bright, correct, and in nice condition for their age.  

As best as I can tell this Jeep was equipped from the factory with the hard doors, and a soft top.  (It has the proper 'vent window dash pad' that only comes on a hard door CJ) The doors are still in good shape, and the windows operate smoothly.  The soft top was swapped out long ago for what appears to be a YJ Hard top, and it is in very good condition.  (No cracks in glass or fiberglass damage) 

The floor pans, windshield frame, cowl, and under the roll bar, are all solid as a rock. (Light surface oxidation under drivers feet) 


Please do not bid on this CJ if you're just planning on turning it into rock crawler, parting out the interior, or slathering the tub with cheap 'do it yourself' bed liner.  This Jeep is the very last year of the most iconic vehicle in American history, and deserves a new owner that will treat it as such.  Reserve is WELL BELOW market and I will assist you if you wish to ship this Jeep.  $500.00 deposit via PayPal upon completion of this auction, with the remainder within 4 business days.  Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you would like to view it in person. 

Happy bidding!

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Jeep appears to have nailed it this time. After two decades of assembling its Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle, the American automaker has finally delivered a world-class off-roader capable of taking on everything in its segment - and more - with a high likelihood of coming out on top.
And if you drove last year's model, it's time to climb behind the wheel again as Jeep has significantly updated the SUV for 2014 with a bold new exterior appearance, an upgraded interior with enhanced electronics and a new transmission that completely transforms the way it drives.
We recently spent a full week with a dark blue 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4, a well-optioned model fitted with the standard gasoline-fed V6. While it didn't have the punch of the range-topping V8-powered SRT8, or the fuel-sipping economy of its new EcoDiesel sibling, the high-volume variant left us quite impressed.

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals

Sun, Mar 3 2024

EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment.  But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.
