1985 Jeep Cj7 Body Off Restoration With Amc 360 Beautiful on 2040-cars
Harwich, Massachusetts, United States
|
Up for auction is my beautiful 1985 CJ7 Jeep. Please get your wife's permission before bidding on this Jeep. I am re-listing due to a non paying buyer.
I bought this jeep from the original owner in 2008. Since then it has had a frame off restoration that was completed in August 2012. Before I bought it it had sat behind a barn since 1991 yes 1991. So this jeep was only on the road for 7 years of its life up to now. The frame is original and in excellent shape with no patch work. I did have to weld 2 body mounts on it. You can eat off the frame and I do wash it. The vin is stamped on it and it does match tag. It is done in oil based gloss black Rustoleum Paint. The motor was installed by previous owner. I just made it pretty . It is a 1979 Wagoneer 360ci and it rips. It has a 4 speed tranny with granny low in 4WD. I do not use 1ST around town. It has 373 gearing. It has an aluminum Edelbrock intake with an Edelbrock carb. It has 35 inch tires with a spring over axle over lift. New headers and true cj side pipe exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Sounds very nice. As for the body it is fiberglass with no stress cracks. The rest of the body components are metal. The paint on this rig is from a 2012 GMC Truck it is Stealth Grey Metallic. Funny name because I see a blue jeep. The paint work is of excellent quality and is deep. The front seats are out of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the rear is the original. I do have a brand new set of soft half doors and soft uppers made by Bestop. I have only driven 750 miles since restoration. The oil gauge never got hooked up I don't know why it just didn't at the time, but everything else is and works fine. So if your looking for an extremely nice jeep CJ7 that you can wash the frame on here's the one. It has front and rear custom built bumpers the front has a winch plate already. I never even took it 4 wheeling, but it works great. The leaf springs are still original. . I have a black hard top included in sale. Also included is a pair of full steel doors that will need to be painted. They are a different color now. Comes with hard top hard doors and soft doors for a soft top. I do not have a soft top. . |

Dirt Every Day tries to find the best 4x4 for under $4k
Mon, 25 Aug 2014If you want to build a cheap truck that can still do dirty deeds off the beaten path, it's best to start with solid axles and a solid V8 engine. That sums up the lessons learned after watching the 2014 Cheap Truck Challenge from the Dirt Every Day video crew, who took to the deserts and surrounding areas near Reno, NV, in an attempt to find the best 4x4 for under $4,000. Fortunately for us, the whole sordid journey was captured on video.
This isn't the first time the boys from DED filmed a Cheap Truck Challenge, and this year's festivities pitted together a 1993 Chevy S10 pickup, a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 1975 International truck in a series of challenges ranging from donuts to drag races, with plenty of hill-climbing and rock-crawling action in between. We don't want to spoil all the fun, but suffice it to say one competitor was found to be lacking while the other two performed (mostly) well. See for yourself in the video above.
Chrysler set to make $266M-investment into 8-speed transmission production
Wed, Dec 10 2014Chrysler will shortly make a significant $266-million investment into its Kokomo, IN transmission factory in a bid to expand production of its eight-speed automatic transmissions. The gearboxes, which are built under license from Germany's ZF Friedrichshafen, have been well received by customers and critics, and according to an SEC filing obtained by Automotive News, the transmissions will eventually find their way to all of Chrysler's rear-drive offerings (Viper and heavy-duty Ram models, aside). According to AN, a Chrysler spokesman says the investment has not been confirmed, but once it is, it'll mark the company's latest in a growing line of investments at the facility. Chrysler has poured $1.5 billion into Kokomo since 2009.
SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building
Wed, 31 Oct 2012After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
