The GOOD! This is a restored 1976 CJ5 with the AMC 401 that has plenty of power and then some, 3 speed T150 transmission, Dana 20 transfer case, Dana 30 front differential and a AMC 20 rear. This is a 2 year old restoration that still looks great!!! The pictures does not do the High Performance Red paint justice. The 401 cubic inch motor came out of a 1977 Grand Cherokee with 78000 mile on it. Has had new gasket set installed along with a new water pump, new factory AMC 600 Holley, K&N breather and filter, new radiator and fluid. The drivetrain works excellent with new Superior 1 piece axles, 4.11 gears and posi unit in the rear and a new clutch set. New dual exhaust from the manifolds back with flowmaster mufflers, 4 inch lift with new Skyjacker shocks. All of the exterior hardware has been replaced with stainless, hinges latches, tail lights, side marker lights etc...New fenders and tailgate, new fender flares. The tub has been Rhino line and not the cheap stuff either. I have a New Best top and doors in the box along with a new Best bikini top that's never been on the Jeep since it's garage kept. The tires are Yokahama Geolander AT-S with less than 500 miles on them The speedometer head was replaced when I bought the Jeep that's why I specified 7650 mile. Over $12000 invested with myself doing a lot of the work. The BAD. The windshield is fogged a little around the edges, small place in the paint that is hardly noticeable and a ever so small tansmission drip about the size of a dime after driving it. I'm been very honest about this Jeep! It drive great, run great and looks great. Feel free to contact me with any questions because I'm sure I miss some details. Thanks!

Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?
FCA profits surge in second quarter
Fri, Jul 31 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles gave the cash register a beating in the second quarter, improving its net profit to 333 million euros ($364M US), which is a 263-percent jump over its reported Q1 profit of 92 million euros ($108M US). At the same time, FCA improved its global profit margin to 7.7 percent. Compared year-over-year, in Q2 2014 FCA reported net profit of 197 million euros making this year's Q2 a 69-percent increase, and profit margins a year ago were 4.9 percent. The two big factors for this increase are strong NAFTA sales and Jeep. In the US alone, Jeep sold 222,940 units in Q2 this year, a jump of almost 20 percent over the same period last year. Revenue in the NAFTA region totaled $18.8 billion, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes were $1.45 billion, both of those numbers more than doubling compared to 2014. The vastly better numbers come on marginally more global sales, 1,181,000 units sold in Q2 2014, 1,193,000 units sold in the same span this year. In the US, FCA began charging dealers one-percent more for vehicles to up the margins, a move that helped boost its US margin from 4.1 percent a year ago to 5.8 percent the first half of this year. The company is holding steady on its guidance of global deliveries at 4.8 million and its net profit guidance at $1.1 to $1.3 billion. It has increased its adjusted outlook for the year to $120.5 billion in revenue, and EBIT to "over $4.93 billion."
