Bassett, Virginia, United States

Immaculate 1986 Jeep CJ7 with a just completed frame on restoration.  This Jeep had the original paint up until 1 month ago when a frame on restoration was done.  The Jeep was a California Jeep and was very solid with no body damage and virtually no rust.  The frame is perfect, NO RUST AT ALL.   I have had this Jeep tagged and on the road for several months and used it as a daily driver before the paint/resto and have driven it a couple of times since then.   I get compliments everytime I drive it, because you just don't see that many CJ7's in this good a condition on the road everyday.  It  runs great, has good tight steering, good power disc brakes on the front and drums on the back in good working order.  It has a 5-speed manual transmission that works smooth with no problems.  The manual hubs, 4-wheel drive and  transfer case are all in good working order with no problems.  I have had this Jeep out on some main highways at 65 mph and it does not wander, shimmy, shake, pull or any of the myths with CJ Jeeps.   It goes straight and you can drive with one hand on the wheel.  It has a long list of new parts on this Jeep that include the paint, 31X10.50x15 all terrain tires, bikini top, manual gauges, fuel sending unit, front seats, mats, tail-light assemblies, park lights, stainless hood  hinges, tail-gate hinges, windshield hinges, mirrors, hood catches, hood decals, cowl vent, windshield to cowl weatherstripping, plugs, battery, oil change, filter, service, fender flares, fuel gauge, clutch, pressure plate, release bearing and pilot bearing, u-joints ......I may have missed something else.....its had a lot of money spent on it and needs very little more.   This is a good, smooth running Jeep with a slick factory Red paint job that turns heads everytime its driven.  It has a current Virginia state inspection (July 2014) and is ready to be driven.  All the seat-belts are in the Jeep also.  I would not be afraid to start anywhere on this Jeep, it is that smooth.  Winning bidder can come pay for the Jeep, bring a tag and drive it home.  I have a clear Virginia title in my name ready to go.  I have a bikini top only for the Jeep, but have ALL the hardware for a soft top, a set of full soft doors and a set of black safari doors go with the Jeep also.  I have a full 5-piece black carpet set that goes with the Jeep.  I did not put it in because I had rather have the ability to pull the plugs and wash it out rather than vacuum carpet, which holds moisture and causes rust.   I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Jeep is for sale locally.  Feel free to ask any questions and I will reply as best as I can.  I check email daily.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding on an excellent daily driver CJ7 Jeep.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.

Happy 50th birthday, Jeep Wagoneer

Thu, 02 May 2013



The Wagoneer got the SUV on the radar of buyers looking for something capable, comfortable and rugged.
The Jeep Wagoneer was introduced 50 years ago, and it's that vehicle we have to thank for the herds of excellent crossovers and SUVs that make up our current automotive landscape. On a personal level, I have always loved the full-size Jeeps and their crisp Brooks Stevens styling, which aged well over their long tenure on the market. The SJs, as they're known among enthusiasts, were the Wagoneer and its two-door counterpart, the original Cherokee. The Wagoneers had become true luxury vehicles by the end of their run, which stretched form late 1962 as a '63 model all the way to 1991, when they were offered exclusively under the Grand Wagoneer nameplate.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
