Jeep Cj7 1985 Automatic Cj 7 on 2040-cars
Lake Zurich, Illinois, United States
I bought this 1985 Jeep CJ7 V-6 Automatic in 2010 right here on ebay for $6k. My daughter used this as a local commuter car to college and work. She has been out of state for two years and this CJ has only been occasionally driven…it is begging for a new home.
This jeep is 29 years old and so it needs TLC and a loving new owner to keep it going another 30 years.
The previous owner purchased this Jeep from a local school district in 2007 with 23k miles. The district used the Jeep around the property and to plow snow hence the low miles. The gent I bought the CJ from added a new fiberglass tub, replaced the carb, brakes, rotors, brake lines, seats, wheels, tires, he also replaced the tail lights, the soft top and doors , the re-paint looks good from far but is not great, it has a 4" lift. He also added a tow bar for pulling behind his motor home (the tow bar is included). The tub was Rhino lined and there is a heavy duty rear bumper with hitch.
We have sunk another $2k plus into the CJ to keep it going. Our work included a new muffler, radiator and gas tank (the sending unit should be good but the gauge is not working). The other gauges are new and the main dash knobs are new. There is a cheap am/fm stereo with some decent speakers in front/back (an audiophile will want to upgrade the stereo). I’ll include notes from my ASE mechanic on some of the work done and three jeep books (see picture) the Jeep Owner’s Bible and two editions of the Haynes Jeep CJ Repair Manual. There is a Meyer 6' plow with power angle that is included but it’s in rough shape and would need patches welded to make it workable (the pictures don’t show how rough it is). I also need to add some pneumatic fluid to ensure it will raise the plow as it’s not working right now even though the electronics for the plow work. Reserve is set lower than my 2010 cost and the car is listed locally. I will answer questions via ebay and have tried to be very fair with the listing so you know what you are bidding on. This is an as-is sale with no warrantee stated or implied. |

Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler wants mountains, not a stage
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We've said it before and we'll say it again - while we usually grow tired of the endless barrage of special edition vehicles, that isn't the case with the Jeep Wrangler. Every unique model we encounter seems cooler than the one before it, and this Willys Wheeler Edition is no exception.
The Willys Wheeler package is sort of a throwback to early Jeep CJ models, and wears "Willys" stickers on the hood. There's also a gloss black grille, rock rails to protect the side sills, and unique 17-inch black wheels wrapped in meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires. For proper off-road prowess, this special edition uses a Dana 44 rear axle with a limited-slip differential and a 3.73 final drive ratio.
Look for the Willys edition to hit dealerships early next year, starting at $25,795 for the two-door version and $29,595 for the four-door. Feel free to read all about it in the press release below.

Fiat Chrysler posts record Q3 profit thanks to U.S. trucks and Jeep
Wed, Oct 28 2020MILAN — A rebound in car production in Fiat Chrysler on Wednesday reported record third-quarter earnings as production returned to nearly pre-pandemic levels. The Italian-American automaker, which is finalizing its full merger with French rival PSA Peugeot, reported a net profit in the three months ending Sept. 30 of $1.4 billion (1.2 billion euros). That compares with a loss of 179 million euros a year earlier. The carmaker reported adjusted earnings before tax and interest in North America of 2.5 billion euros. That offset deepening losses in Europe, Asia and at its Maserati luxury marquee. Latin America, the only other region to post a profit, saw it narrow by two-thirds to 46 million euros. “Our record results were driven by our teamÂ’s tremendous performance in North America,” CEO Mike Manley said in a statement. Overall, the carmaker said global earnings before tax and interest were a record 2.3 billion euros despite a 6% fall in revenues to 26 billion euros. Global shipments were down 3%, due largely to plant retooling in North American to produce the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer in the luxury SUV segment and the discontinuation of the Dodge Grand Caravan classic minivan. Fiat Chrysler announced earlier Wednesday that its merger with PSA Peugeot is on track to be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2021, as planned. To meet regulatory concerns, the French carmaker is selling a small stake in a components maker to get below 40% ownership. The new automaker, to be called Stellantis, will be the fourth biggest producer in the world. Earnings/Financials Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM Citroen Peugeot
