1979 Jeep Cj7, Golden Eagle, 401 Cid V8, 4 Speed on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
I have owned this Jeep for about 15 years now. I do not really want to sell it but my lifestyle has changed and I need to move on to something more practical. First off while the Jeep is not 100% rust free, but it has very little rust, and it is only on the rear of the tub near the lower corners of the tailgate. I replaced the front fenders and windshield frame about 5 years ago and did paint the the original color but of course they do not match the tub as it has faded over the years. The original doors simply hung on the cowl and latched at the rear but were unsupported and rattled terribly, so I put doors off a YJ on it about the same time. The Jeep was originally a 304 v8, 3 speed. The engine started smoking and I decided it was time to rebuild the motor. Instead, I bought an AMC 401 to rebuild and install since it was an easy swap. It is bored .030 over, with forged pistons,and a balanced crankshaft. DUI HEI distributor and wires. We installed a be Cool high volume waterpump. It has an Edelbrock Victor Jr aluminum intake with and Edelbrock 4BBl Carb. Doug Thorley Headers, and dual Flow Master mufflers with tailpaipes to the rear. This combination has less than 5,000 miles on it. I then put in a new Centerforce clutch, and swapped in a T-18 transmission. The transmission has a granny low and is in stock configuration. I had a shop in town build a full width Dana 44 for the rear. It has drum brakes, an ARB locker and 4:56 gear ratio. It is hung on BDS 4" over lift springs with military wraps and greasable bushings. At the same time they narrowed a Dana 44 for the front. It has oversize disk brakes, an ARB locker and 4:56 gear ratio as well. It too is hung on BDS 4" over lift springs with military wraps and greasable bushings. They also moved all the steering componentry up over axle centerline for additional ground clearance. Also mounted the ARB compressor under the hood and switches under the dash. The interior has Best Top cloth bucket seats with headrests up front, along with a Best Top center console, and a Best Top fold and tumble rear seat. Factory guages with tach all work as they should. I put a Sony detachable face Stereo in the dash but have never wired it. I'd rather listen to the motor.... I mounted a family style rollbar in the Jeep, but have not updated the seat belts to the correct ones yet. The tires are 35x12.50x15 BFG Mud Terrains with about 3,000 miles on them. They are mounted on Centerline Convo HT Aluminum wheels. This tire/gear ratio combination makes the Jeep a blast to drive around town, and it easily goes down the highway at 60 or 65 miles an hour. It has factory power steering and power brakes although we did upgrade the master cylinder to a larger unit when we did the axles. Jeep also has factory hard top with factory bronze tinted windows, although they look gold to me. The reason I am selling it is that I have never had the Jeep four wheeling since we did all this work to it. I hate to admit it, but I just do not have the time to use it. Transportation is the buyers responsibility, but I will be happy to help load it for delivery after the vehicle is paid for. It sells only to the lower 48 states. Should you want more info about it please give me a call @ 719.440.4246 in the evenings, my name is Scott.

Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected
Thu, Jul 8 2021MILAN — Stellantis softened up investors ahead of its electrification strategy event on Thursday by flagging that 2021 got off to a better-than-expected start despite a chip shortage that has hit automakers worldwide. Stellantis, which was formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, faces an investor community keen to hear how it plans to come up with a range of electrified vehicles (EVs) to rival Tesla. At its "EV Day 2021" kicking off at 1230 GMT, Stellantis will disclose significant investments in electrification technology and connected software as it aims to be an industry frontrunner, it said in a statement. In April, Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said it would offer low-emission versions — either battery or hybrid electric — of almost all of its European models by 2025, and they should make up 70% of European sales and 35% of U.S. sales by 2030. Stellantis, the world's fourth-biggest automaker, has 14 brands in its stable, including Jeep, Ram, Opel, Fiat, Peugeot and Maserati.  Stellantis EV Day coverage: Dodge will launch the 'world's first electric muscle car' in 2024 Fully electric Ram 1500 will begin production in 2024 Jeep will have 4xe plug-in hybrid models across the lineup by 2025 Stellantis teases mystery electric Chrysler concept Stellantis previews 4 electric platforms: Here's how they'll be used Fiat says all Abarth models to be electric from 2024 Opel Manta E will be the electric revival of the classic German coupe Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected  At a similar EV strategy event last week, French rival Renault announced that 90% of its main brand models would be all-electric by 2030, whereas previously it had included hybrids in its target. Germany's Volkswagen, the world's second-biggest automaker after Toyota, expects all-electric vehicles to make up 55% of its total sales in Europe by 2030, and more than 70% of sales at its Volkswagen brand. Stellantis said its margins on adjusted operating profits in the first half of 2021 were expected to exceed an annual target of between 5.5% and 7.5%, despite production losses due to a global shortage of semiconductor supplies. Stellantis shares listed in Milan were down 2.6% at 0920 GMT, underperforming the broader European car index. Bestinver analyst Marco Opipari said Thursday's news was positive but that the stock was suffering from profit taking as it had moved up about 20% since the end of April.
eBay Find of the Day: Jeep Comanche Zombie Response Unit
Sat, 02 Feb 2013We've seen some pretty fantastic apocalypse vehicles in our day. We've even owned one or two, but this particular Jeep Comanche tugs at our heart strings in all the right ways. Let's start with the basics: there's a stout 4.0-liter engine underhood hooked to a five-speed manual transmission, and while we wish this truck was four-wheel drive, the two-inch lift and oversize tires should help you overcome obstacles with enough momentum.
Details like handy shovels, Jerry cans and a brush guard inspired by the hardware on a CUCV help lend the truck a no-nonsense appeal, and the functional CB whip antenna means you can ask for backup when the undead hordes come your way. If you like what you see as much as we do, you can head over to eBay Motors to place a bid. The auction has inched up to $4,000 with just two days left on the clock.
These three automotive Lego kits deserve your suppoort
Sat, Mar 25 2017Lego has been quite good to car enthusiasts over the past few years. We've seen traditional kits for the classic VW Microbus, Mini Cooper, and the Caterham 620R, as well as an elaborate Technic kit for the 911 GT3 RS. But why stop there? The Lego Ideas page, which allows users to submit ideas with the chance to see their kits reach production, has many more cool car kits we'd love to see. Check them out below, and be sure to log on to vote for them. If a submission hits 10,000 votes, it is considered for production. That's how we got that Caterham kit, so it's worth your time to show your support. Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 This is a submission aimed at becoming one of Lego's Speed Champions kits. These are very small mini-figure scale car models, and the series has included the Ford GT, Audi R18 Le Mans racer, and more. This kit features a tiny version of the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, a Group B rally racer that gave Peugeot World Rally Championship titles two years in a row. The kit has a well-executed version of the car and its massive rear spoiler on the hatch. It also comes with a big dirt crest for it to fly over, along with amazed spectators on the sidelines. Porsche 911 Turbo 930 We love the GT3 RS Lego kit, but we think it's a little lonely as the only Porsche kit available. Such an impressive Porsche deserves an impressive companion, like this 911 Turbo. It's the 930 version, which is arguably the most famous classic 911 with its turbocharged power, whale-tail wing, and scary driving dynamics thanks to considerable turbo lag and rear-engine handling characteristics. This model is quite large at 1:10 scale, and comes with a detailed interior and exterior. The best part is the remote-control components underneath that allow the car to be driven. Jeep Wrangler JK Moving off the beaten path again, we have this highly detailed Wrangler kit. Actually, we have two kits, as the creator designed both two-door and four-door versions. They both feature removable hard tops, detailed interiors, and big tires. They also come with an assortment of off-road accessories such as auxiliary lights, an off-road jack, winch, gas can, roof rack, and off-road bumper. You can also find various fluid reservoirs and engine details under the opening hood.
