***To all following this listing, a watcher pointed out that I had mistakingly listed this Jeep as a 1981 in the description. It's a 1980. My apologies for the oversight.***

1980 Jeep CJ-7 Laredo, clean Texas title, black on black with original hard top and hard doors (doors have original Laredo interior panels). I'm the 3rd owner of this Jeep, all ownership has been in Texas. I have two CJ’s that are nearly identical and have to get rid of one, we are in need of a larger vehicle and the garage space. This is the nicer of the 2 Jeeps by far, but I owned the other one first and it has some sentimental value to me. This would be a great Jeep for someone wanting to do a restoration, it's very solid, or an even better one for someone wanting to lift it and add larger tires.

The Jeep is almost all original; the only thing that has been changed is the engine and wheels/tires. Previous owner took out the original 304 V8 and had an AMC 360 V8 professionally installed with an Edelbrock performance carb and intake. This is a very common swap in this era of Jeep as the 80's Grand Wagoneers came with the 360 and it's almost a direct swap. The Jeep has a tremendous amount of power, would handle larger tires very well.

The transmission is an automatic. It shifts very well, smooth through all gears and into/out of reverse.

The transfer case works perfectly, will run in 4-H or 4-L without any grinding, whining, clicking, etc.

Interior is all original. Driver’s side seat is a little torn on lower, upper is in great shape. Both passenger and rear seats are in great shape. Coming apart slightly at the seams but could easily be repaired. Has a CD player and (2) marine grade speakers in the rear.

Wheels are gloss black steel 15x8, tires are 31x10.50 Kumho street tires that are almost brand new. My other Jeep has (5) 235x75x15 BFG All Terrains that are almost new, for an extra $500 I'll swap the tires before selling it.

There is almost no rust on this Jeep with the exception of (2) small places. Drivers floorboard has a small spot that my body shop said could be repaired for $100. Rear quarter panel has a small spot as well, almost the same size. None of the usual problem areas have any issues (ie body mounts, rear floor pans behind front seats, rear wheel wells, etc.). As you can see in the photos, the Jeep is very clean and would make a great rig as it sits.

The odometer on this Jeep shows 62,XXX miles. There is not a digit to the left of the 6, but the previous owner was adamant that the mileage shown was exact. Anyone who knows Jeeps like I do probably isn't concerned about mileage anyway, just about anything on this Jeep could be repaired/replaced for $500 or less. Engine has approximately 25k miles on it after the rebuild.

Bottom line, this Jeep is great and will make someone a very nice rig. Could be used as a weekend vehicle or a daily driver. My Jeep mechanic told me I should list it at $12k, I'm just not that attached to it and I want someone to get a nice Jeep at a good price. I've had it parked near my house for the few weeks and have had a significant amount of phone calls, I'm just not willing to give it away. Willing to take any photos necessary, just send me an email request and include the areas you would like to see. This is obviously an as-is sale and there is no warranty available. Thanks for bidding.

Jeep Cherokee finally dealer-bound

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

We had our First Drive of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee last month, but it appears that prospective buyers won't have too much longer to finally get time behind the wheel of the new small Jeep.
Automotive News is reporting that after a two-month delay, Jeep dealers will finally start receiving their first shipments of the new Cherokee, in the next 10 days. A Chrysler spokesperson confirmed to Autoblog that the Cherokee is indeed on its way to Jeep dealers.
According to AN, about 23,000 Cherokees have been built since production commenced back in June, but potential powertrain issues forced Jeep to make adjustments to the Cherokee along the way. Automotive News says that in order to make sure there are no issues with the Cherokee before it reaches customers, it is testing each vehicle after it rolls off the assembly line at a rented test track near the vehicle's Toledo North Assembly Plant.

Infiniti looking for a new boss after Christian Meunier leaves to lead Jeep

Wed, May 8 2019

Nissan's premium division Infiniti is expected to announce a new acting global chief for the brand, the company said, after its current head, Christian Meunier, left to lead the Jeep unit of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Nissan's chief quality officer Christian Vandenhende will oversee Infiniti's global operations effective immediately, until a new brand chief is named, Infiniti said in the statement on Tuesday. Meunier, 51, was named Infinit's global chief in early January after its previous boss Roland Krueger left the Hong Kong-based brand. Meunier will take over as global president for SUV-focused Jeep effective immediately, Fiat Chrysler said in a separate statement. Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley had been running Jeep until he was elevated to the top job in July after the death of Sergio Marchionne. Meunier has international experience from his years with Ford, Land Rover, Nissan and Infiniti, which may prove valuable as Jeep attempts to expand overseas with a lineup of new products including the Gladiator pickup, a Wrangler plug-in hybrid, and the revived Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer nameplates. He's worked mostly in sales and marketing roles, including as senior vice president of sales, marketing and operations for Nissan North America; chairman of Nissan Canada; and his recent role heading up Infiniti. An Infiniti spokesman said Meunier's resignation was not related to Nissan's internal investigation into its former leader Carlos Ghosn.

2015 Jeep Renegade to start at $17,995, Trailhawk rings up at $25,995

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Prices for the 2015 Jeep Renegade have leaked onto a enthusiast forum ahead of the official embargo on pricing and driving impressions, which breaks at 12:01 AM Friday. They come from a video interview with Jeep CEO Mike Manley, that was allegedly set live accidentally. It's since been pulled down. At this point, it's unclear if the listed prices include any destination charges, so they could climb slightly higher or lower. In its most basic form, the two-wheel-drive Renegade Sport will go on sale for just $17,995. For that price, you get, um, not a lot. Really. The entry level Renegade doesn't even offer standard air conditioning – it's part of a package that includes heated power mirrors and cruise control. The $21,295 Latitude adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel, standard 16-inch wheels, air conditioning, five-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, a six-speaker stereo and USB connectivity. The top-end Renegade Limited, meanwhile, starts at $24,795 and makes standard items of the heated, powered leather seats, dual-zone climate control, seven-inch TFT display in the instrument cluster, auto-dimming mirror and 18-inch wheels. The Limited also adds a number of aesthetic tweaks that spruce up the Renegade's exterior, including brightwork around the grille, mirror caps, taillights and roof rails. The above prices, of course, are only for the front-drive Renegade. Add $2,000 to the above prices for all-wheel drive. You won't need to add that to the all-wheel-drive-only Trailhawk, which starts at $25,995 and comes with a slew of off-road features, including a bespoke front and rear fascia, with the former sporting the world's most adorable pair of red tow hooks. Mechanically, there's an exclusive version of the brand's Active Drive all-wheel-drive system that includes a 20-to-one crawl ratio and a dedicated Rock mode for the Selec-Terrain system and 17-inch wheels. The cabin, meanwhile, is home to Ruby Red accents. While we have basic trim prices, we're still without more specific details, including the cost of marquee options like the My Sky roof, as well as the plethora of options packages that will be available when the CUV arrives in dealers. We'll have our full review of the all-new Renegade available when the embargo on driving impressions breaks Friday. In the meantime, let us know what you think of these prices. Are they where you expected them to be? Higher? Lower? Have your say in Comments. Related Video:
