1983 Jeep Scrambler Cj-8 Cj8 on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1983 Jeep scrambler CJ-8. It has the original 4.2L 258 engine that has 149892 miles on it. It also has the T5 5 speed manual trans in it too. Vehicle runs and drives but it runs rough and needs a tune-up. I bought this jeep with the intention of making a custom jeep for myself. Due to some family related things I need to sell it. It will have a low reserve and I have the title in my hand ready to go. This jeep is being sold as is with no warranty expressed, implied or given. Jeep scramblers are rare and this one isn't perfect but it's a canvas for a jeepers imagination. The jeep includes the factory half hard top and the back window has no cracks in it. It also includes original jeep bimini top and half soft top (both are black in color). The half soft top has the hardware but one of the supports is bent. The previous owner replaced the windshield frame but forgot to put back on the channel on top for the soft tops. The windshield has 2 cracks in it. the wiper motor works but the wipers are not hooked up to the jeep. All the interior lights work along with all the gauges too. The headlight indicator above the headlight switch is the only one that doesnt work. The body has plenty of solid panels on it and plenty or areas that need attention too. The frame is rusty but it's solid and can be used in my opinion. The jeep has 3 new tires on it and the fourth has about 1 season left in it. The hubs lock and unlock with no issue at all. The original bed is gone and the previous owner put down steel to make it work as you can see in the pics. The passenger seat is in great shape but the drivers seat has seen better days. The horn does not work. There's a lot of potential in this jeep. the floor is solid but does have rust and some holes in it too. Tube steps are solid too. Below is a list of things included with the jeep.
new front leaf springs factory half hard top original jeep half soft top and bimini top full bestop soft doors (tan in color) full steel hard doors (locks and windows work) 2 generic seat covers (brand new) 2 haynes jeep manuals original air cleaner assembly (no filter but could be useable?) wiper linkage and wiper arms The jeep is being sold with a low reserve and if the reserve is not met I reserve the right to sell to the closest bidder. The jeep is for sale locally too and I reserve the right to end the auction early if the jeep sells locally. The jeep is being sold with no warranty implied, expressed, or given. Any questions please feel free to ask. The vehicle is located in Chicago and can be seen in person if you're in Chicago. Please just message me. Thank you for looking and happy bidding. Any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks |

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration
Thu, 29 May 2014It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
Jeep Wrangler Polar Edition coming to America
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Jeep originally took the wraps off its Polar Edition Wrangler at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and at the time, we figured this would be a Europe-only affair. (Perfectly fine, since we US customers haven't exactly been lacking special edition Wrangler models over the years.) But now, and as Jeep says, just in time for winter, the automaker has announced that the ice cold Wrangler will be hitting North American showrooms in November.
Based on the Wrangler Sahara model, the Polar Edition can be had in either two- or four-door body styles, with a unique Hydro Blue paint job as the featured color. (Buyers can also opt for less-special Billet Silver and Bright White hues.) Other exterior enhancements include a body-colored hardtop, 18-inch gloss black wheels, the Powerdome (power bulge) hood, and unique decals all around the body.
But the Polar Edition isn't just about some paint and stickers. Jeep has fitted this Wrangler with a Dana 30 front axle and Dan 44 rear axle, as well as the Trac-Lok anti-spin electronic rear differential. Like all US-spec Wranglers, the Polar Edition uses Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, producing 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both a six-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmission are available.
