No Reserve Auction 1979 Jeep CJ7 Golden Eagle - 1 Owner! This rare morocco buff colored original owner classic CJ7 Golden Eagle spent the majority of its life in Las Vegas, Nevada and Western Colorado which are both dry climates. The Jeep was recently given up by the original owner due to a foot injury making it difficult to drive a manual. I had the fuel drained and had it serviced last week adjusting the timing, carburetor, fresh oil change and spark plugs. It is running great now and drives very nice. I drove it to the mountains today to take photos with the hardtop on and it drove comfortably. This would make the perfect summer cruiser, weekend warrior or addition to your collection. Engine: 258 4.2L 6cylinder motor was rebuilt @ 100k miles. It runs great, starts right up (has a manual choke and needs a cable for it) and I do not notice any leaks on the pavement after driving it. The Jeep is has power upgrades including a 4 barrel Edlebrock carburetor, Clifford manifold, headers and dual exhaust. The cherry bomb mufflers give it a v8 sound. There is not a catalytic converter or smog equipment on the motor. Transmission/Transfer Case: 3spd T150 Manual Transmission that shifts great, whines a little and the clutch is very tight, responsive and does not slip. The Dana 20 transfer case shifts easily in and out of 4x4. 4x4 works great both in low and high ranges. Drivetrain/suspension: The Jeep drives smooth and has an upgraded suspension with Rancho shocks and leaf springs. The front leaf springs appear to be sagging a bit and could use replacement to match up the rear ride height. The Jeep is a non power steering unit and if I were to keep it I'd recommend adding power steering for easier driving. Interior Controls/Switches: Everything in the interior works except the factory tachometer and the windshield wipers are intermittent. The radio works but needs a center dash speaker to have sound. Paint/Body: The paint is a rare golden eagle color Morocco Buff with Golden Eagle Striping decals. It is original paint that looks great and super reflective, shows a lot of luster and is shiny. The rear drivers quarter was repaired at one point, the owner said the jeep was bumped in a parking lot and was professionally repaired. There is a small section on the drivers rear quarter where the paint is starting to flake off near the front of the flare (view photo). The front clip and fenders have sand chips. The hood on the inside has been painted black texture and on the exterior there are a few small ding dents. There are misc nicks, marks and blemishes to be expected for a 35 yr old Jeep. One of the rear tire carrier mounts broke off at one point and a support bar was added on back to strengthen the tire carrier. I just had a new front glass windshield replaced. Interior: The interior really nice, the front black aftermarket seats are new and very comfy. The interior floor has a smooth texture liner on and it appears to be in good shape with some minor flaking in couple spots. There is a little surface rust on the passenger floor but not thru. The Jeep is pretty close to rust free except the spot on the passenger door cut out and under the dash pad by the grab handle bar (view photos). Hardtop and Full Doors: The original hardtop is in excellent shape. A polish can be used to bring out the color of the hardtop and it appears the hardtop was repainted at one point. The rear tailgate on the hardtop has some dents, blemishes (view photos). The full hard doors are in great shape without any rust. The windows roll up and down easily (passenger side doesn't quite reach the top, stops about 1/3" from top. The passenger door has a dent where the vinyl is and both vinyl material on each door have scratches. The passenger side doesn't quite match the repainted hardtop. Tires/Wheels: Original 15x8 Gold Golden Eagle wheels with a black stripe. The wheels are in good shape with some chips and blemishes but still look sharp and original. The tires were purchased new in 1994 and need to be replaced. Although I have driven a couple hundred miles on these tires and the tread is 75%, I would highly suggest replacing them as they are dry rotting. The tire size is 31x10.50x15". Rust/Undercarriage: The only significant rust is on the passenger side by the door cut out (view photos), passenger front fender and passenger front floor have minor surface rust. The Jeep is very clean and the undercarriage appears discolored and has surface rust but no significant rust issues. Overall: This Golden Eagle will make a great daily driver, weekend warrior, summer adventurer or an addition to your collection. The CJ7 is used and 35 years old, so it may have blemishes I didn't capture on my camera or may have missed in my description. I did my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep. The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees. I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado. Included are a clean Colorado Title and bill of sale. Shipping: If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643. Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery. He has helped me on a couple cars I have bought as well as sold and shipped. Conclusion: A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal. All sales are final. The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time. Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer. I have sold a few cars on eBay in the past and can provide references if necessary. I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this Jeep is listed for sale locally as well. If you have any questions, want to know anything specific or simply make an offer. Feel free to calling or texting me anytime #720-295-3372 |

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Land Rover Defender V8 vs. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 | V8 4x4s square off on paper
Thu, Feb 25 2021Land Rover pulled the sheet off its 2022 Defender on Wednesday, introducing another high-performance V8 to the off-road segment. This time, it's a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 boasting 518 horsepower. It will be available in both the Defender 90 and 110 models. In the former, Land Rover says it can crack off a 0-60 run in just 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 149 mph. The long-wheelbase 110 will be a bit slower, but "slow" probably isn't the right adjective to use here at all. But Land Rover isn't the only automaker offering a high-performance variant of its off-road SUV. While Jeep may have been sneered at for presenting the 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 on the heels of the 2021 Ford Bronco's introduction, it starts to make a lot more sense in this context. There's reportedly a high-output Bronco on the way, too, so call Jeep the dinosaur of the group all you want, but you can't put a price on being first. Well, you can, actually, but that's not the point. Thankfully, both Land Rover and Jeep have provided enough specs for us to rough out a comparison chart. Since the Rubicon 392 is offered only in four-door guise, we're looking at the long-wheelbase Defender 110 as its direct competitor here. Have a look: There are a few caveats to mention off the top. For starters, we don't have an official curb weight for the V8-powered Defender yet, as Land Rover has not finalized its U.S. specs. We used the European figures (as provided by a spokesperson), which we expect to be accurate within about 50 pounds. The 0-60 time provided by Land Rover was for the Defender 90, which is smaller and somewhat lighter than the 110. When equipped with the inline-6, the Defender 110 is about a tenth of a second slower to 60 than the Defender 90, so we figure it should be roughly the same for the V8. While the Defender has nearly 50 horsepower on the Wrangler, that advantage disappears thanks to the Land Rover V8's monster weight penalty, which will fall somewhere between 600 and 700 pounds depending on equipment. Yikes. On the flip side, however, the Land Rover has the edge in top speed, and it's not even close. Chalk that up to the tires, we suspect. We know for a fact that the Rubicon 392's all-terrains dictate its speed limiter; Jeep's own engineers told us as much. This could make for a (hypothetically) interesting drag race, as the Jeep's advantage off the line may evaporate once triple digits come into play.
