Up for auction is my 1981 Jeep CJ7. I have owned this Jeep for 21 years and I have had many great experiences with it. For the first ten years it was my daily driver but then I retired it to a farmers field for a few years when I started to covet things like heat, protection from the elements and overall reliability. After about three years I started to miss the Jeep so I bought a fiberglass body because the original steel tub was so badly rusted and so started the rebuilding process. After tearing it down I had the frame sandblasted and I welding in new crossbraces and the mounting hardware for the new body. I painted it with black farm implement paint that has really held up nicely and looks nice. The suspension was replaced with a 2 1/2 inch lift. The engine was still strong as I had replaced it with a crate factory rebuild about 15,000 miles before parking it but I gave it a new intake, Holley carb, Hooker headers and an aluminum valve cover. The wiring harness, all the guages and lights were all replaced but I have not been able to get the gas guage to work. I suspect I recieved a faulty new part somewhere between the sending unit and the gauge. I kept the original color, the paint code is OK, really, OK is the paint code. The exhaust is stainless steel the whole way and all the fuel lines, brake lines and hoses were replaced. I still have a Best Top soft top and doors that will go with the Jeep in the sale but I never put them back on since it has lived in my garage and I only take it out in the summer anyway. Whoever buys it can install them if they wish.
Those of you that know about Jeeps don't need to read any further but those that may be buying their first should know. This vehicle does not have all the safety items that a modern car has. It is uncomfortable on long rides. It is loud and uses a lot of gas. It doesn't have heat, a radio, interior lights, storage compartments or even a rear seat. You will undoubtedly have to tinker with it and after tinkering with this one for 20 years it still marks its spot with a few drops of oil in the garage. It is, however, one of the funnest things you could ever drive. Your male friends will ask you if you want to sell it all the time and your female friends will want to go for a ride. Nearly every Jeep owner that passes you on the road will give you the Jeep wave like it is a fraternity and old dudes will go into long stories about the Jeep they used to own and wish they never got rid of.
So, if you are interested happy bidding. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

Jeep Wrangler likely to get aluminum body, will stay in Toledo
Mon, 27 Oct 2014Perhaps more than any other vehicle currently for sale in the United States, the Jeep Wrangler is viewed by purist fans as a vehicle that simply must maintain the status quo. In this case, that means a body-on-frame design, solid axles, a relatively large engine sitting up front and a removable top. It's always been that way, and it always will be.
Maybe.
According to the most recent reports, the next-generation Jeep will continue to soldier forth with a full steel chassis underneath its stamped bodywork. The biggest change, reports Automotive News, will be that said panels will be hewn from aluminum instead of steel, a seismic shift of a transition not unlike what's happened with the new Ford F-150. Because it won't be a unibody, the SUV will likely continue to be assembled in Toledo, OH as it (almost) always has been - the latter has been a source of heartburn in recent weeks for the Northwestern city in the Buckeye State.
Stellantis and LG launch joint venture for North American battery plant
Mon, Oct 18 2021Stellantis has struck a preliminary deal with battery maker LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America, as the world's No. 4 automaker rolls out its 30 billion euro ($35 billion) electrification plan. Global automakers are investing billions of euros to accelerate a transition to low-emission mobility and prepare for a progressive phase-out of internal combustion engines. Stellantis and LGES's joint venture will produce battery cells and modules at a new facility with an annual capacity of 40 gigawatt hours (GWh), the two firms said on Monday. No financial details of the deal were provided. The plant is scheduled to start production by the first quarter of 2024, with groundbreaking expected in the second quarter of 2022, the companies said in their statement. Its location is under review and will be announced later. Stellantis, formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, has said it wants to secure more than 130 GWh of global battery capacity by 2025 and more than 260 GWh by 2030. The batteries produced under the deal will supply Stellantis' U.S., Canadian and Mexican assembly plants for installation in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, supporting its goal of e-vehicles making up more than 40% of its U.S. sales by 2030. The company, whose brands include Peugeot, Fiat, Opel and U.S. best-sellers Jeep and Ram, earlier this year announced it would invest more than 30 billion euros through 2025 on electrifying its vehicle lineup. Stellantis has said it would build three battery plants in Europe and two in North America, including at least one in the United States. Intesa Sanpaolo analyst Monica Bosio said the deal was positive, and a further step ahead in Stellantis' electrification process. It comes weeks after Stellantis and its partner TotalEnergies agreed to open up their battery cell joint venture ACC to Daimler, to expand their European sourcing of battery cells. Stellantis is also targeting more than 70% of sales in Europe to be of low-emission vehicles by 2030, and aims to make the total cost of owning an EV equal to that of a gasoline-powered model by 2026.
