This NO RESERVE auction is for a 1977 Renegade CJ7 Levi's edition 304 v8 Jeep. This Jeep was bought new in Pickens South Carolina at the famed Hinkle Jeep dealership. The dealer sticker is still on the front grill along with the "Hinkle" rear bumper. It also has the original 15 x 8 chrome spoke wheels that were a Hinkle option. Google "Hinkle Jeep" if you are unfirmiliar with them, they were the largest in the world in the seventies. This Jeep has always been a local Jeep as it was bought off the original owner just a couple of months ago. This CJ is very solid with just a couple of rust issues at the usual spots. There is some rust where the jack mounts under the drivers seat. There is also some where the reinforcement is just behind the Jeep logo on the side of the tub. The tailgate does need to be replaced also. The lower spare tire mount is tore out of the body and does need attention. The floor boards have some surface rust on it as well but they are very solid, just surface.The frame and underside is very rust free, no mud inside the frame. All of these issues are normal for an original Jeep and are easy to fix. Under the battery is very nice, just some surface rust.
The Jeep fires up and runs like it should, choke and high idle works well. You can drive it and lug it down and almost count the cylinders firing and doesn't miss a beat, no smoke or rattles.The power steering does leak and is weak, no other major leaks. The transmission and clutch works like they should as well as the transfer case. The CJ does have front disc brakes and they work well. There are no locking hubs, just the stock factory bolt on plates. The CJ did come with the heavy duty cooling and had the factory shroud and clutch fan. This does have the manifolds and pipes that go under the frame out to side pipes. The doughnut gaskets do leak.
The Jeep had not been repainted, those are the original decals. But the original owner did take some black spray paint and tried to "doctor" it up in places. The CJ drives good down the road with just little bit of wander, the shackle bushing are original and look good. The dash is uncut, there is a old style aftermarket radio in it. The factory tan dash pad is there and in very nice condition, no cuts or cracks. The original rear seat is still there but the front ones either have been recoverd or replaced, the seat brackets are original though. Black outside color and tan interior. The top is ok, it will keep you and the Jeep somewhat dry.
Sorry guys, I feel like I am rambling on, just trying to cover everything so when you come to pick it up there are no surprises. If you want a nice CJ either to restore or make into a nice driver then this is the one! This does need to be trailered home as there are some dry rot in the tires and it does need to be gone over before it is driven much. I did drive it up and down the road but only up to about 40 mph. No shipping on this.....$500 to my paypal account within 48 hours of end of auction. I am located halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte right off of I85. If you want to come and look. Thanks

Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
Chrysler recalling 630k Jeep models worldwide
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Despite its refusal to recall 2.7 million Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models this week over a gas tank fire risk, Chrysler will be recalling 630,000 Jeep Compass (pictured), Patriot and Wrangler vehicles around the globe for a pair of entirely different reasons.
The affected Compass and Patriot models are all from the 2010 to 2012 model years - 254,000 in the United States, 45,400 in Canada and 109,000 elsewhere in the world. In these models, a software error may result in the late deployment of the side airbags and seatbelt tensioners. In the event of a crash, failure of these systems could result in more serious injuries for the vehicle's occupants.
Jeep's go-anywhere Wrangler also faces a separate recall due to power steering fluid lines that can possibly wear a hole in the transmission oil cooler line. According to Chrysler, the vehicles could then leak fluid, possibly damaging the transmissions. Roughly 221,100 Wrangler models are being recalled because of this issue, all of which are fitted with Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. In the US, 181,000 vehicles are affected, with an additional 18,400 in Canada and 21,700 additional units worldwide. A Chrysler spokesperson said that no crashes or injuries have been reported with either case, according to the Associated Press.
