  You are viewing an absolutely beautiful 1983 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade. This is an unrestored original Jeep with just 55K miles from new! It still wears its original paint and still maintains all of its original steel body panels and tub. It has never been wrecked and has zero rust! This is a western USA CJ that has never been exposed to harsh winters, road salt, etc. It has always been garage kept and lovingly maintained. It looks and drives like a 55K mile CJ should or better! Many of the miles were put on the Jeep as it was towed behind a motorhome! Here are some details about this rare find,

  • Orig. 258 in-line 6 cylinder engine
  • 4 speed manual trans.
  • 4WD with lock in lock out hubs
  • Dana 30 front and AMC rear differentials
  • Power steering
  • Front disc brakes
  • Tilt steering column
  • AM-FM CD
  • Warn winch with remote
  • Custom chrome front bumper
  • Tow bar with light hook ups
  • Hi-Lift jack with locking mounts
  • Safari style swing away spare tire carrier with twin steel jerry cans
  • Aluminum wheels
  • BF Goodrich All Terrain TAs tires 31x10.50s with matching spare
  • Draw bar with hitch
  • Good snug fitting soft top and soft doors
  • Padded roll bar cover
  • Original rubber floor covering (mat)
  • Center console
  • Near perfect original body and paint
  • Etc.

  You will not believe how nice the body is on this Jeep! It is arrow straight and rock solid. The paint is 30 years old but still looks like new! Only a couple of small dings keep this CJ from being perfect. Remember, only 55K miles and no rust ever! They really don't come much nicer than this. I would much rather have a beautiful, unrestored, low mileage CJ like this then one that someone has "restored." The interior is equally impressive. The original dash pad, rear seat, steering wheel, sunvisors, etc. all show very well. The front seats were replaced several years ago and look great too. The original rubber floor covering is in amazing condition as well. Everything works including the lights, wipers, horn, turn signals, gauges, radio, heater, blower motor, etc. The soft top is in nice shape too with good clear plastic windows, etc. This really is a beautiful CJ and it has just the right purposeful stance.

  Mechanically, the Jeep is very, very sound. The motor is super tight and super clean. It starts easily and runs great with no issues. It does not smoke, knock, run hot, leak, etc. It holds perfect oil pressure and pulls strong through all 4 gears. The 4 speed transmission shifts perfectly too with no grinding, etc. The clutch and 4WD operate as they should with no issues either. The brakes, tires, suspension, etc. are all in excellent condition. The Jeep drives down the road nice and straight with no wander like so many of these old CJs. Overall, this is a very nice, tight, great driving CJ. It looks, drives, and feels exactly like what it is, a low mileage, super original CJ. Don't miss your chance to buy this great unrestored Jeep. It will only increase in value as Jeeps like this continue to get harder and harder to find.

  Many of my auctions end with just a phone call. I can arrange shipping worldwide. 205-276-1918.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Stellantis reports $15B profit in first year of merger

Wed, Feb 23 2022

FRANKFURT, Germany — Automaker Stellantis said Wednesday that it made 13.4 billion euros ($15.2 billion) in its first year after it was formed from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group. The earnings nearly tripled profits compared with its pre-merger existence as two separate companies, as the maker of Jeep, Opel and Peugeot vehicles exploited cost efficiencies from combining the businesses. The result compared to a combined 4.79 billion euros for the separate companies in 2020 before the merger, which took effect on Jan. 17, 2021. Revenue for the combined business rose 14%, to 152 billion euros. CEO Carlos Tavares said the results “prove that Stellantis is well positioned to deliver strong performance" and had overcome “intense headwinds” during the year. Automakers have struggled with shortages of key parts such as semiconductor electronic components and rising costs for raw materials as the global rebound from the worst of the coronavirus pandemic brings more demand. The company said the benefits of the merger were worth some 3.2 billion euros during the year. Mergers can lead to streamlined costs as companies combine functions and spread fixed costs over a larger revenue base. The company accelerated its rollout of battery-powered vehicles, with sales of low-emission vehicles reaching 388,000 — an increase of 160%. Stricter environmental regulations in Europe and China are pushing automakers to roll out more electric vehicles with longer range. Stellantis started production of a hydrogen fuel cell commercial van under its Opel brand in December. Stellantis' other brands include Chrysler, Citroen, DS, Fiat, Maserati, Ram and Vauxhall.
