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. |

2014 Easter Jeep Safari kicks off with six concepts
Thu, 10 Apr 2014The 2014 Easter Jeep Safari is set to begin this weekend in Moab, Utah, and while it's sure to be a blast for Jeep enthusiasts from all corners of the world, we're looking forward to the wild, off-road ready concepts that Jeep will be bringing to the red rocks. As you can see in our handy headline, there are six such vehicles in total, each of which sports a variety of tweaks and custom bits.
Unlike in years past, where Jeep graced us with some outrageous concepts like the Mighty FC or J-12, this year's vehicles are a bit more restrained and a bit more buildable by enthusiasts. That's not by accident, officials tell us. They wanted to put this year's focus on attainable vehicles and accessories from Mopar and Jeep Performance Parts that existing owners can use to augment their own vehicles. So let's get to it.
We'll start with the Wranglers first. There are three concepts of the jeepiest of Jeep coming to Moab - the Level Red, Maximum Performance and Mojo. The Level Red and the Mojo (seen above) are similar from a suspension and engine standpoint. Both boast a two-inch Jeep Performance Parts lift kit, which officials tell us is coming to market in the next few months. There are a pair of Dana 44 crate axles on both the front and rear, while a Jeep Performance Parts Rock-Trac transfer case has been fitted. The 3.6-liter V6 engines on both Jeeps can breathe a bit easier thanks to a new cold-air intake and exhaust system.
10 of 18 midsize SUVs earn 'good' IIHS side impact safety rating
Wed, May 18 2022It's not terribly surprising that midsize SUVs earned better safety ratings than small SUVs in the latest side-impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Just how much better they scored, on the other hand, certainly raises an eyebrow. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earned the highest rating of 'good' in the stringent new test, altered for vehicles starting with the 2020 model year with a heavier barrier (4,200 pounds) that moves at a higher speed (37 miles per hour) and is fitted with a hard honeycomb frontal structure. By way of contrast, just one out of of 20 small SUVs earned a 'good' score. SUVs that receiving 'good' scores were the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4. For EV fans, it's worth noting the ID.4 was the only electric vehicle included in the test. The Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse scraped away with 'acceptable' ratings while the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano were deemed merely 'marginal' in the tough new test. Only two models — the Mazda CX-9 and Volkswagen ID.4 — earned a "Good" rating in every test category. Interestingly, the Jeep Wrangler would have scored a 'good' rating if it were equipped with side airbags for the rear seating positions. It would likely be an engineering challenge to equip its removable top and/or doors with airbags, but the lack of that safety feature allowed the head of the rear passenger dummy to hit the vertical support of the top. Otherwise, the Wrangler scored good ratings across the board. The new Ford Bronco, which makes more allowances for side-impact safety, has not yet been tested. The popular Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs stand out in the test with 'poor' ratings for driver pelvis injuries. The Nissan Murano, a vehicle last redesigned for the 2015 model year, was the only vehicle tested that received a 'poor' rating for its structure and safety cage. Videos of the tests of 12 of these 18 SUVs can be found on the IIHS' YouTube page.
