1979 Jeep Cj7 304 V8 Mint Condition on 2040-cars
Three Lakes, Wisconsin, United States
|
I am offering for sale my 40,000 mile, pristine condition Jeep CJ-7. It has a documented history since new that includes no damage, no rust, no excuses! Its early life consisted of summertime fishing and camping trips, with a canoe on top, some tent gear and fishing poles in the back. I don’t believe it has ever seen bad weather.. one look at the frame, and you will agree. The all-original body is in flawless condition. The drive-train consists of the tried-and-true 304 V-8 coupled with a 3-speed manual transmission and floor shifter. It also has the rare power steering and power brake options. It starts, drives, and responds like it did when brand new. The steering is tight and straight, drive line is quiet, ride is solid, and it brakes straight and strong. The dual exhaust has a subdued but authoritative note to it.. not loud and overbearing, but just a hint of the powerful V-8 that sits behind it!
A frame-up restoration was done on a rust- and damage-free body. A gorgeous, show-quality three-stage candy apple red paint finish that is worth over $10,000 was applied. The paint (material alone) is over $1,500, and there are tireless hours of preparation and finishing work invested that demonstrate the labor of love with which this CJ was restored. Condition of the body is documented with photo albums of pictures showing what it looked like going into the restoration, during, and after.
It has new Dick Cepak all-terrain tires on Mickey Thompson CJ wheels that are made specifically for this Jeep. They are the proper size and offset for the correct height and stance. It has a brand new vintage sound system that looks like factory AM radio, and even has the Jeep name badge, but has 250 watts of outstanding sound and is coupled with an MP3 port that is hidden. Absolutely no dash modifications were done to accommodate the stereo.
It has tasteful additions of stainless steel accents- namely the grill, rockers, mirrors, and instrument cluster surround. The body, drive-train and suspension are all as-original and correct- the only modifications are headers & dual exhaust system and an Optima battery.
Included are the soft top, side curtains, and doors, which are all off and stored in nice 8/10 condition.
After a thorough critique of the vehicle’s condition, and a review of it’s documented history, you will agree that this is without a doubt one of the finest examples of a vintage CJ-7 still in existence. It is refined with the show quality paint work, but still rugged and correct. The finish quality draws attention everywhere this beauty is taken. It has recently undergone a thorough appraisal for insurance purposes that declare it show quality throughout and noted absolutely no defects or short-comings in its value. Coupled with that, it has all the right equipment and options, most notably the 304 V-8, power steering and power brakes.
Bid with confidence on this legendary CJ that will undoubtedly only continue to rise in value as time passes. |

Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
China orders Jeep to investigate Wrangler fire risk
Mon, 06 Jan 2014It's been some time since we've heard anything about fires related to the Jeep Wrangler (foreign or domestic), but it sounds like the go-anywhere SUV could be in hot water once again in China. Bloomberg is reporting that the Chinese government is ordering Jeep to investigate the matter and, in the meantime, also recommending Wrangler owners to not drive their vehicles in "extreme conditions" due to a "relatively high risk" of catching on fire.
There is no indication as to how many vehicles or which model years are affected, but the previous fire problems in both the US and China - which led to investigations but no recalls - were traced back to automatic transmission fluid leaks. The article, however, does not say what the potential problem is this time around as Jeep has not released a comment on the matter. The official notice, in Chinese, can be found here.
eBay Find of the Day: 1977 Jeep J20 time capsule
Tue, 08 Jan 2013Is it just us or has eBay really become, of late, a surprising time capsule of older, barely used automobiles? We've had the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT with 83 miles, the 2004 Ferrari Enzo with 175 miles, the 1987 Shelby Lancer with 22 miles, the 1989 Shelby Dakota with 23 miles - none of those four cars ever even registered - and the 1975 Cosworth Vega with 191 miles. You can add to that list a 1977 Jeep J20 - the kind of Jeep that enthusiasts point to when they beg the brand to make another pickup truck.
Listed on eBay by Masterpiece Classic Cars in Whiteland, Indiana, the Brandywine and Alpine White truck has used its 360-cubic-inch V8 paired with a three-speed automatic to go just 3,940 documented miles. Not surprisingly, it's listed in excellent condition and the images appear to bear that out. The three-quarter-ton pickup comes with its original manual and pamphlets, the Quadra-Track four-wheel drive probably just as ready to tackle the terrain as it was 36 years ago. If only it came with some John Denver to play in that AM/FM/8-Track stereo...
At the time of writing it hasn't garnered a single offer or bid, probably due to the above-top-dollar Buy It Now price of $34,900. Still, since this is likely the closest you'll get to a Jeep pickup for some time, we'd recommend admiring it in the gallery of photos above.
