Original paint rust free Arizona 1986 Jeep CJ7

VIN: 1JCCF87E0GT010658

1986 Jeep CJ7 with a 4.2 liter engine and a 5 speed transmission.  The optional equipment on the Jeep are:  Air conditioning, Laredo package.  This Jeep was sold new in Palmdale California.  It spent until 2004 in California.  The last 10 years in Arizona.  The dry climate preserved the body.  There is no evidence of rust or body damage.  The CARFAX indicates there was an accident where an airbag deployed.  There is no airbag, and I find no evidence of body work or paint.  The truck has been sitting in a barn for over two years.  It could not pass emissions in California or Arizona.  The title is clean.  If you have ever read any of my vehicle adds you will know that I am brutally honest with my descriptions.  I do not flip cars for a living I have a full time business I am not an expert on Jeeps, but I am always happy to speak to someone if they have question. There are links below to a video of the Jeep driving, a walk around, and the engine running.  Also there is a link to over 100 pictures where I show the good bad and the ugly.  Please feel free to call me at 602-908-9267 with any questions.

Body/Tub- The tub of the jeep has no evidence of rust or body work. .  All of the original Sebring Red paint appears to be original.  The clear coat is almost totally gone on the hood and front fenders.  The stickers are very faded with small chips and scratches.  The passenger front fender has slight wrinkling on the top which is hard to see, and the camera would not pick it up.  There are small dents and bruises on the truck.  The interior of the tub is straight with scuff marks, but most of the original paint still shines.  The bottom of the tub is very clean.  Still shows a very thin layer of Sebring red over gray primer.  I belie all of the paint under the truck to be original.  Again no evidence of rust at all.  There is small amounts of undercoating on the tub, but it also looks original.

Interior-The cloth front seats and the back bench do not match.  The cloth is well used, but complete.  The back seat is in good shape.  All of the gauges work.  The radio has been relocated to Masterrac box in between the seats.  It works well with speakers in the dash and in the Masterrac boxes mounted on the rear fenders.  I have some of the keys for the boxes, but not all of them. Caret in the rear of the Jeep only.  Carpet is old and faded.  The under dash A/C has been removed.  The gauge in the radio slot is for the air pump system.  The A/C compressor is now used as a compressor with a small tank under the hood.  I tried to get it to work, but it appears to be non-operational.    Dash is clean with no cracks. The gauges in the dash work.  I’m not sure they are accurate but they operate.  The plastic bezel around the gauges is cracked.  The wiring under the dash is a bit of a spaghetti mess. 

Engine/Transmission/ Drive Train- the 4.2 liter engine appears to be completely original.  It cleaned up well, but it is in desperate need of a tune up.  My guess is a major tune up will get the Jeep close to passing emissions, but the catalytic converter is more than likely in need of replacement.  There is a small coolant leak coming from the upper radiator hose connection.  The Jeep ran hot the day I drove it to take pictures.  It was 109 degrees with 50% humidity so I was running hot as well.  In the pictures you can see the air pump system.  The nozzle is in the front grill.  The transmission shifts OK.  The clutch engages and disengages OK.  A little chatter from what I think is the throughout baring.  Four wheel drive engages.  4 High and 4 low appear to work as they are supposed to.  Please look at the link below to hear the engine running.  The locking hubs appear to work fine.

Chassis-We cleaned the bottom of the truck off  and painted the frame so it would not rust.  The chassis appears to be straight and original.  The lift is a 6” Superlift.  The shocks are Ranch RS 5000’s.  I do not know how old they are, but I suspect they have been on the truck a long time.  The tires are Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ’s.  They have no tread ware, but ate date coded 2007.  The aluminum wheels are scuffed and the center caps are bent up. 

I drove the truck about 20 miles.  It wanders and tracks poorly, but it runs good.   Acceleration is strong and shifts well. I am happy to let someone look at it if you want to inspect.  Please call me at 602-908-9267 if you have questions or want to take a look.  The type of cars I sell are Arizona rust free in nature.  This normally results in a great response and many times the auction ending early.  The Jeep is for sale locally so the auction could end if I receive a solid offer.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee probed by NHTSA for brake problems

Sun, Jun 7 2015

Remember how Toyota got in all kinds of trouble over unintended acceleration? Well, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Jeep over unintended braking. NHTSA has announced a probe of 20,000 Grand Cherokee SUVs from model year 2014. Nine complaints have been received, with owners alleging that their Jeeps have issued brake warnings or gone ahead and applied the brakes when no threat was presented. Each complaint alleges that the vehicles have exhibited this behavior repeatedly, leading to a "sudden reduction in vehicle speed in traffic." So basically, a system designed to prevent accidents could actually increase the odds of a collision happening. Speaking to the Associated Press, Jeep spokesperson Eric Mayne said owners whose vehicles are exhibiting this behavior should report to dealers, while adding that the automatic braking/adaptive cruise control systems can be deactivated. Related Video: Scroll down for the official bulletin on the investigation from NHTSA. Date Investigation Opened: JUN 01, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15021 Component(s): FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received nine complaints alleging inappropriate activations of the autonomous braking system in model year (MY) 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. All nine reports alleged unexpected braking incidents preceded by collision imminent brake warnings and resulting in sudden reduction in vehicle speed in traffic. Two complaints reported autonomous braking incidents with no objects on the road resulting in rapid increase in brake force and anti-lock braking system (ABS) activations. The complaints alleged experiencing multiple events at different locations and road conditions. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to assess the frequency, scope and consequences of the alleged defect. The following VOQ numbers are associated with the issues discussed in this resume: 10543837, 10713629, 10690650, 10663320, 10630362, 10596913, 10533622, 10533524, 10651269.

Winter storm got you down? Try snowboarding through Manhattan

Tue, Jan 26 2016

Two filmmakers decided to make the best of this weekend's historic snowstorm by turning New York City into a winter sports enthusiast's wonderland. Popular YouTube based filmmakers Casey Neistat and Jesse Wellens uploaded this video of Neistat snowboarding through the empty streets of Manhattan yesterday. While officials were warning motorists to avoid driving in the blizzard, Neistat and his buddy were being pulled by a Jeep Wrangler through Times Square. It goes without saying that this stunt is suicidally dangerous. There are several moments in the video where Neistat gets pretty close to wiping out on the back of parked, snow covered cars or on the cornerstones of buildings. All to the soundtrack of Frank Sinatra's New York, New York, no less. The police do make a cameo, but NY's finest admit to merely wanting to watch the escapades. "Someone complained about you, so we're going to act like we're talking to you," the unnamed officer can be heard saying on video. The original video has since gone viral, and currently stands at over 6.2 million views in just 24 hours. Despite the virality of their tricks, please do not attempt this in your own snowbound metropolis.

Auto Mergers and Acquisitions: Suicide or salvation?

Tue, Sep 8 2015

We love the Moses figure. A savior riding in from stage right with the ideas, the smarts, and the scrappiness to put things right. Alan Mullaly. Carroll Shelby. Lee Iacocca. Andrew Carnegie. Steve Jobs. Elon Musk. Bart Simpson. Sergio Marchionne does not likely view himself with Moses-like optics, but the CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently gave a remarkable, perhaps prophetic interview with Automotive News about his interest and the inevitability of merging with a potential automotive partner like General Motors. Marchionne has been overtly public about his notion that GM must merge with FCA. For a bit of context, GM sold 9.9 million vehicles in 2014, posting $2.8 billion in net income, while FCA sold 4.75 million units and earned $2.4 billion in net income, painting a very rosy FCA earnings-to-sales picture. But that's not the entire picture. Most people in the auto industry still remember the trainwreck that was the DaimlerChrysler "merger" written in what turned out to be sand in 1998. It proved to be a master class in how not to fuse two companies, two cultures, two continents, and two management teams. Oh, it worked for the two individuals at both helms pre-merger. They got silly rich. And the industry itself was in a misty romance at the time with mergers and acquisitions. BMW bought Rolls-Royce. Volkswagen Group bought Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini, putting all three brands into their rightful place in both products and positioning. No marriages there, so no false pretense. Finally, Nissan and Renault got married in 1999. A successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust. But a successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust, the principle part being honesty. Daimler and Chrysler lied to each other. The heads of each unit, the product planners, and finance all presented their then-current and long-range forecasts to each other with less-than-forthright accuracy. Daimler was the far greater equal and no one from the Chrysler side enjoyed that. The cultures were entirely different, too, and little was done to bridge that gap. Which brings me back to the present overtures by Marchionne to GM. "There are varying degrees of hugs," Marchionne stated in the Automotive News piece. "I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you." Seriously?
