1986 Jeep Cj-7 Solid, Original From California!!! on 2040-cars

Year:1986 Mileage:114143
Location:

Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, United States

Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, United States

This is an original well-maintained documented California Jeep CJ-7.  The previous owner is a known actor who was returning home to New York from Los Angeles, driving the Jeep to Pennsylvania in 2010.  I’ve kept it in a garage ever since.  Service records include:

California (previous owner)

85200:  Distributor and Ignition Coil

85322:  Valve Cover, Transmission Mounts, Motor Mounts

85515:  Borla Exhaust

89500:  Brake Master Cylinder

100900:  Radiator

101100:  Alternator

108408:  Ignition Control Module

Pennsylvania

110884:  General Grabber HTS C Tires, Alignment, Rear Brakes, Full Tune Up, Battery, Carburetor Adjustment and Timing Adjustment

112343:  Valve Stem Seals, Starter Motor

114037:  Steering Stabilizer, Sway Bar, Sway Bar Link Kit and Heater Core

The Jeep starts, runs, and drives like it should.  Everything works unless I mention otherwise.   I would not hesitate to take it anywhere but I don’t recommend any CJ-7 for a nervous or inexperienced driver.  There are no fluid leaks.  There are no problems with the clutch or transmission.  Factory computer control has been disconnected from carburetor for obvious reasons, but all components left in place if you want to restore.  The factory cardboard glove box insert is gone and door does not open easily.  The speedometer works but is shaky.

The paint appears to be original with some touch-ups and imperfections.  There is a hole on either side of the windshield frame from a removed accessory.  Paint is faded around sticker decals, which I had removed.   See picture.  There is no rust.

The hard doors are not original to this Jeep but are their correct virgin color.  I suspect this Jeep was sold with soft doors only.  I only have the bikini top for the Jeep however most accessories are already in place for a Bestop.  If you purchase the Jeep and want a Bestop installed (for transport), I will have that done at most reasonable cost to buyer.

The radio works but is temperamental.  I’m not sure that all speakers are working.  The front speakers appear fairly new good speakers and the rear speakers look dated.

The Jeep has a current PA state inspection and registration.  Clear title in my name is ready for transfer to new owner. It’s becoming hard to find an unmolested and solid CJ-7.

Winning bidder must pay a $300.00 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours or I reserve the right to relist.  Full payment in 10 days.  Jeep cannot be returned and no refunds will be issued once it leaves my possession.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.

LA-bound 2014 Jeep Wrangler special edition gives us the Willys for $25,795

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The Jeep Wrangler might be the reigning king of special editions, but with sales records being broken almost all year, this plan is obviously resonating with buyers. Joining new models like the Dragon Edition and Polar Edition, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler is adding a new Willys Wheeler Edition to pay homage to Jeep's military heritage.
Getting ready for its big debut at the LA Auto Show, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition is inspired by early Willys CJ (Civilian Jeep) models with exclusive styling and upgraded off-road goodies. Starting with a Wrangler Sport, these upgrades include a Dana 44 rear axle with limited-slip differential and 3.73 gears, along with meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires mounted to the Willys Wheeler's black 17-inch wheels. For more of a classic Jeep look, this model adds a gloss black grille, "Willys" hood stickers and rock rails to protect the side sills. Jeep is also tossing in a D-ring, tow strap and gloves that are all kept in a special carrying bag.
When it goes on sale early next year, the Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition will start at $25,795 for the two-door model, while the four-door will start at $29,595. There's an official press release posted below, and we'll be sure to have live images of the special-edition Wrangler live from the LA Auto Show floor later this week, so stay close.

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.
