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.

If parked for awhile there are a couple drops of trany fluid under it.

MotorWeek reviews '83 American Motors lineup

Wed, Mar 18 2015

The 30th anniversary of American Motors' 1987 sale to Chrysler by Renault is just a few years away. AMC is long dead, but for its latest peek in the archives, MotorWeek winds back the clock to somewhat happier times. Take a look at the entire AMC lineup from 1983, including its models from Jeep and Renault. The Jeeps, and to a lesser extent, the AMC Eagle, enjoy a cult following today, but it's amazing how many of these other vehicles are now practically forgotten. Even the big debut in '83 of the Renault Alliance is largely ignored. Although with a ludicrous amount of body roll and a 55-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, it's probably rightly buried.

Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new

Sun, 09 Jun 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.

Chrysler set to make $266M-investment into 8-speed transmission production

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Chrysler 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.
