This is a 76 Jeep CJ7 Built by a Jeep shop in TX. I bought this Jeep because I always loved the CJ7. My plan was to keep it forever but life has changed and I'm unable to keep it. The Jeep is a 76 frame and drive train with a 84 body. The Jeep was totally redone with almost all new parts. There was almost $20,000 spent building this Jeep. A built AMC 401 V-8 is about $5,000 alone.
The only reason I'm selling the CJ is I have another jeep and I bought a side-by-side.
The Jeep has 4300 mi since being built.
The motor is a built AMC 401 V-8 with a TF- 727 3 speed automatic behind it. Edelbrock carb, intake, and valve covers are mounted on the motor along with true duel Cherry Bomb exhaust. The transfer case is a Dana 300. This set-up is very strong and works very well. The front Dana 30 has disk brake and a Spartin locker. The rear axle is an AMC 20 with one-piece axles. Bushwhacker fender flairs cover 5 NEW 35x12.5x15 Procomp Mud Terrain. The suspension is a Rough Country 4-in lift with sway-bar disconnects. The body is in great shape (for an 84) with a 2-in body lift. Front seats are Corbeau RS with original fold and tumble rear seat. There is a Bikni top and half doors as seen in pics and also a full soft top with soft doors and hard top with hard doors. Rock hard front bumper holds a Superwinch EPI 9.0 9000 LB with 120 ft of new cable. Rear bumper has swing out tire carrier with full size spare and 2 in receiver with trailer light hook ups. This Jeep does drive down the Hwy at 70 mph without a problem.
Email me if you would like all the Jeep info.
There is also front tow bar shackles with a Blue Ox tow bar.
New windshield frame and seal go with it.
The bad
There is a dent in the front passenger fender.
A few small spots of surface rust.
The hard top hatch has rust and doors are mix-matched.

Chrysler reports $166M net income for Q1, down $307M vs. 2012
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Preliminary first-quarter results from 2013 have been announced by Chrysler, and the company is reporting a net income of $166 million on revenue of $15.4 billion. Compared to this period last year, net income is down $307 million and revenue has dropped $1 billion.
Chrysler says that its quarter was negatively affected by the costs associated with launching its 2013 Ram Heavy Duty, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and preparation for the return of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee pictured above. The launches should provide a strong second half of 2013, says the automaker. "We remain on track to achieve our business targets, even as the first-quarter results were affected by an aggressive product launch schedule," said Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne.
On a positive note, the automaker says worldwide vehicle sales are up 8 percent from one year ago, a number pushed by a 12 percent bump in U.S. retail sales. In addition, domestic market share has risen slightly, up to 11.4 percent from 11.2 percent last year. Read more in the official statement below.
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
2014 Jeep Cherokee will keep Liberty designation in China... sort of
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Chinese buyers will get their first live look at the 2014 Jeep Cherokee during the Shanghai Motor Show, but CarNewsChina is reporting that it will go by a different name - Ziyou Guan, which translates to "Liberty Light." The article states that our Jeep Liberty was never sold in China, but the iconic XJ Cherokee was sold and produced there as the Qinuoji (a phonetic translation of Cherokee).
The new Jeep Liberty Light will be built alongside the Fiat Viaggio (China's Fiat-badged version of the Dodge Dart) at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant, and the two models will share the same powertrains: a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder base engine paired to a five-speed manual or a dual-clutch transmission and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (the base engine for the US-spec 2014 Cherokee) as an optional engine. It doesn't sound like the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 will be offered in China.
We'll be on hand when the new Jeep debuts in Shanghai, so stay tuned to Autoblog this Friday night and Saturday for our live coverage of the show.
