1977 CJ 7 Jeep

 

This is a 1977 CJ-7 Jeep.  I have a clean title and am the sole owner of this Georgia / Virginia vehicle, that is now in California.  Started a ground up restoration 14-years ago.  However, my priorities have changed since then (wife, house, three kids), thus its time to let her go (the Jeep).  The vehicle has never sat outside - 100% garaged since start of restoration.

 

I have personally sandblasted and worked on every inch of this vehicle, replaced the minimal rust spots, smoothed primed and painted the frame with high-gloss black Imron paint.  It shines!  All the frame seams have been smoothed with seam sealer – this part is show ready!


The body is solid, no rust.  Undercoated and various panels replaced.  There is some filler on the cowl and engine bay that should be replaced (not my best work here).  Also, it appears that some rust has bled through the seams on the front passenger side of body (ugh, see photos).  I would rework these areas, otherwise, very smooth.  The defroster, heater, top holes, door holes have all been filled for a smoother look.

 

Dana 20 rear with 3.54 gears.  Completely rebuilt and has axle truss.  New one piece rear axles with four wheel disc brake conversion kit from SSBC.  Stainless steel brake lines, Rancho 9000 shocks.  Looks and is brand new!

 

It has a Sky Jacker 4” lift kit with new red poly body mounts.  Heavy duty shackles. 

 

Warn front and rear bumpers, with one Mickey Thompson Baja II wheel with a BFG A/T 33 x 12.50 spare on Warn oversized tire carrier. Currently sits on old restoration tires.

 

Custom diamond plate dash with battery cut off switch (no key ignition), all Auto Meter electronic gauges, new speedo.  It has a Flaming River tilt wheel column, new steering shaft and Grant Steering wheel. Heavy Duty AGR steering box and bracing.  New steering linkage, steering stabalizer, etc.

 

 

Iron Horse high back bucket seats with racing harnesses, new bikini top, carpet, and role bar padding, center console.  Most every bolt on the vehicle is stainless steel.  Diamond plate gas and brake pedals, as well as trans tunnel cover. KC Lights, and new stainless side view mirrors, and backup lights.

 

Fiberglass one piece front end that tilts forward with extra mm reinforcement – this is an amazing feature. Custom diamond plate trim pieces, fiberglass windshield frame and new windshield (not installed).  All new exterior trim / lights, etc.

 

Front is a fully rebuilt Dana 30 with all new front disc brakes, stainless steel brake line extensions and new warn hubs..  Again, every piece of metal has been replaced or sandblasted, primed and painted with the same high-gloss black Imron paint.  Also has matching front axle truss.

 

 Set up for Ford 302 motor with custom radiator bracing with high-flow aluminum Quick Flow radiator.  Hella horns, electric dual fans.   Has high flow fuel pump, new gas lines, etc.

 

This vehicle, while far along still has a ways to go.  It needs an Engine, Transmission, transfer case, wiring harness and four wheels and tires and minor body work and paint to make it a real head turner. The above items do not come with car.

 

I will entertain serious offers only.  You will need to arrange transport from my home.  The vehicle obviously does not run and therefore will cost more when transporting by professional hauler.   I have hundreds of hours of labor and well over $20K into this vehicle.  Its time someone finishes the job.

Australian Jeep marketing stunt goes awry [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Jeep fans in Australia are none too happy with the off-road brand following a contest that saw ten new Cherokees sold for just $10,000 Australian (about $9,400), roughly a quarter of the vehicle's price Down Under.
The contest, called the "World's Most Remote Dealership," gave Aussies the chance to snag an ultra-affordable Cherokee Longitude (analogous to the US-spec Latitude trim), provided they could get to a secret dealership in the remote wilderness of western New South Wales, near the border with the state of South Australia.
In order to get the exact location of the dealership, though, potential customers needed to download an app, which would release a phone number 9:00 AM AEST on Thursday (7:00 PM EDT, Wednesday night). The first ten people who could call in and prove they could afford to finance $10,000 and get to the remote dealership, were given the location of the remote dealership.

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block

Thu, 30 May 2013

Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.

Feds chastise Marchionne over Jeep recall, only 13% repaired so far

Sat, Nov 22 2014

Following the significant outcry surrounding the General Motors and Takata airbag safety crises this year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration seems to be taking a much more aggressive role in pushing owners to repair their recalled vehicles. In the agency's latest move, it's urging Jeep drivers to get their models fixed. Acting NHTSA administrator David Friedman even sent a letter to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne pressing him to get more of the SUVs fixed. The problem goes back to the recall of the 2002-2007 Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee because of the possibility for the fuel tank to rupture in some rear crashes. The campaign affected over 1.5 million vehicles, but Chrysler initially refused NHTSA's request for a repair campaign. The automaker eventually came up with a fix that involved adding a trailer hitch to provide extra protection to the tank. The feds believe the danger "will be reduced by the remedy now offered by Chrysler," according to the statement. However, this latest push comes out of NHTSA's concern that only three percent of the affected vehicles are repaired, although Chrysler maintains some 13.4 percent have actually been fixed. The agency is asking the automaker to reach out to owners "proactively," and get them to bring the Jeeps in dealers. According to the the feds' statement, the company "has nearly 400,000 parts available" to perform the fixes, and it's still producing more. Friedman's letter to Marchionne goes even further, alleging NHTSA has received reports that dealers are turning customers away who request the recall. He asks the CEO to prove within 15 days that these claims are false. "Given the low rates of repair that Chrysler has reported more than a year after the recall, significantly more aggressive steps are required," says a portion of the note. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler has subsequently promised to speed up the recall work, vowing that all dealers will have at least 12 repair kits in stock by Monday. Further, it has announced plans to ramp up its notification campaign with Facebook ads and public service announcements.
