This Jeep is only of significant value in California.  Finding CJ7's with legal V8 conversions is rare in California and the previous owner spent $8,500 on the engine/transmission conversion.


So far I've only had one person come and look at the Jeep.  They liked it but said it had too much motor for them.  Can you ever have too much power?

I bought this in 2006 and have rarely driven it since then.  The gal I bought it from used it as a commuter and rarely took it off road.  She also spent gobs of money on it and almost everything on this Jeep has been replaced or rebuilt.  The front seats are the only item I see that reflects 366,000 miles.  

No rust.

40,000 since a 1991 Throttle Body 5.7 Liter Chevy Truck motor was installed.   This installation is smog legal in California.  

700R4  4speed automatic overdrive transmission with  shift kit and Lokar shifter

Dana 300 transfer case

Summit Racing gear reduction starter

Dana 44 rear end with one piece axles (original in some 1986 CJ's), 4.56 gears and Auburn limited slip

Dana 30 front differential with 4.56 ratio.

Vintage brand aftermarket air conditioning.  The system is a recirculation type system so the intake vent was sealed off as shown in one of the photos.  The seal job was poorly done but could easily be cleaned up.  The previous owner paid $1600 for the A.C. unit.

Warn XD9000i winch (selling separately if this auction is not successful).

Rockford Fosgate Radio/CD player with Polk speakers

Kayline softtop

Bikini top

2.5 inch lift.  The front springs are YJ wrangler springs (2.5" wide instead of 2" stock width).

Currie shackles

Currie steering box brace

Braided Stainless steel flexible brake lines

Ubolt skid plates

Sway bar quick disconnects

Borgeson collapsible steering shaft

Fold and tumble OEM rear seat.

33" BFG mud terrains.  I checked the date codes and one is a KO style from 2004 and the other three tires are the older style mud terrains and are from 1995-1998.  They have been in the garage most of the time and I don't see any dry rot.  They came off another Jeep that I had parted out and four wheeled pretty hard.  The tires are somewhat cut up from rocks and hitting the previous Jeep's fenders but have at least 75% tread left.  

The spare is a 33" Goodyear and has 95% tread and is date code 2002.  The spare will be loose because the rack is not mounted.

The wheels are steel/chrome and a bit banged up on the edges because they were on my other Jeep.  The spare is aluminum.

Trail Quest extra 23 gallon extra capacity fuel tank.  The previous owner told me it's 23 gallons.  I suspect it's 20 gallons.

Notebook with all major records and conversion receipts/notes.

The steering wheel in the photos will be replaced with a new one.  I have an emotional attachment to the one shown.  I  can also let you buy your own.  I'll give a $125 credit if this is desired and you can ship my wheel back to me.

I bought a Warn rear bumper and tire rack that I never installed. It will come with the vehicle but will need to be installed by the buyer.

The old original spare tire mounting holes are shown in three of the photos.  The Warn bumper/rack mount to the frame and not to the body.

One of the photos of the left rear quarter panel shows where I tried to sand out a emblem someone had painted on the Jeep.  The paint is thin there and the gloss is gone.

The vehicle has two small oil leaks.  I would consider them more seeps than leaks because it's probably close to a drop a day from each spot.  There's no way to tell but the oil spot on the concrete is only about 1.5 inches in diameter over the course of a few weeks.  3 or 4 inches over the course of 6 months or a year.  Also, the fuel gauges works but is not correct, i.e. it moves but 1/2 tank mark is not actually 1/2 tank.

Reserve is $10,900.00 

Feel free to ask questions or give me any suggestions.

Watch these Super Bowl car commercials [UPDATE]

Sat, Feb 2 2019

On Sunday, February 3, the New England Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Some will watch because of the storyline of the old-school dynasty facing off against the new-school wunderkinds, but a large chunk of people will solely be watching for the commercials. Lucky for those who slot into the latter category, many of the manufacturers release their super bowl ads ahead of time, or have simply opted to release the commercials only online. Scroll down to see what car companies have already shown their cards. Audi Audi goes the comedic route in its clip for the Big Game. It starts with a grandpa showing his grandson a gorgeous Audi e-tron GT tucked away in a garage before he's shaken awake. Turns out he was just choking on a cashew in his cubicle at his boring job. Dodge Dodge does what it knows: create enough smoke to punch more holes in the ozone layer. Set to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia (the Super Bowl is in Atlanta, get it!?), a Challenger SRT Hellcat widebody, Charger SRT Hellcat, and Durango SRT are seen ripping through a city, leaving a trail of rubber crumbs in their wakes. Genesis Genesis has not yet released a commercial prior to the Super Bowl, but it is the official luxury vehicle of the NFL. Because of this, Genesis is hosting a fan experience for 10 days before the game. It will showcase the brand's cars, offer games, and have photos opportunities and autograph days. Hyundai Jason Bateman alert! Hyundai is one of the few companies to hook a major celebrity for its advertisement, and the casting is perfect. Bateman plays a doorman who takes people to various terrible events in life, including root canals, the middle seat, and shopping for a car. The ad centers around Hyundai's Shopper Assurance, which is Hyundai's new method for car shopping. Jeep An old 1963 Jeep Gladiator finds its strength in the crusher and transforms into a a new 2020 Gladiator, with a firm declaration that the nameplate is officially back. Kia Through Kia's commercial, a young boy wonders out loud what it'd be like if the millions spent on Super Bowl commercials were used to help others.

These are the cars with the best and worst depreciation after 5 years

Thu, Nov 19 2020

The average new vehicle sold in America loses nearly half of its initial value after five years of ownership. No surprise there; we all expect that shiny new car to start depreciating as soon as we drive it off the lot. But some vehicles lose value a lot faster than others. According to data provided by iSeeCars.com, trucks and truck-based sport utility vehicles generally hold their value better than other vehicle types, with the Jeep Wrangler — in both four-door Unlimited and standard two-door styles — and Toyota Tacoma sitting at the head of the pack. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's average five-year depreciation of 30.9% equals a loss in value of $12,168. That makes Jeep's four-door off-roader the best overall pick for buyers looking to minimize depreciation. The Toyota Tacoma's 32.4% loss in initial value means it loses just $10,496. The smaller dollar amount — the least amount of money lost after five years — indicates that Tacoma buyers pay less than Wrangler Unlimited buyers, on average, when they initially buy the vehicle. The standard two-door Jeep Wrangler is third on the list, depreciating 32.8% after five years and losing $10,824. Click here for a full list of the top 10 vehicles with the least depreciation over five years. On the other side of the depreciation coin, luxury sedans tend to plummet in value at a much faster rate than other vehicle types. The BMW 7 Series leads the losers with a 72.6% drop in value after five years, which equals an alarming $73,686. BMW's slightly smaller 5 Series is next, depreciating 70.1%, or $47,038, over the same period. Number three on the biggest losers list is the Nissan Leaf, the only electric vehicle to appear in the bottom 10. The electric hatchback matches the 5 Series with a 70.1% drop in value, but since it's a much cheaper vehicle, that percentage equals a much smaller $23,470 loss.

Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
