1985 CJ7 Renegade with 89,000 original miles.  T-176 4 speed, PS, PB, AC.  Full hard doors, Best top soft top in perfect shape.

Rust free Texas Jeep in excellent original condition.  As you can see in the pictures, the floors, fender wells, and undercarriage are amazingly clean.  No indication that this Jeep ever spent a day outside of the garage as the original dash pad and seats have no cracks or tears and show very little wear.  The hood has been repainted, and the remainder of the Jeep appears to retain it's original paint.  The body is extremely straight.  There are a few dings upon very close inspection, but could easily and inexpensively be removed by a PDR guy if so desired.  There are two areas where the paint is not perfect - front fender near the flare, and passenger rear corner near the spare tire carrier.  I can provide any additional pictures as needed.

There has been a Weber carb installed, other that that the mechanicals are completely stock.  Power steering, power brakes, and factory AC.  AC unit blows, but not cold, compressor will kick in when AC is turned on.  Would be an easy repair if AC is desired.  Drives, shifts, steers, and stops very well.  Suspension and steering are nice and tight.  Jeep could use a little fine tuning on the Weber, as it lags a little when accelerating when fully warmed up.  Wipers, horn, blinkers, lights all work.  Last inspected and registered in 2005.  Since then it's been stored in an airplane hangar and used as a run around vehicle at an airstrip.

This Jeep looks like is has 20,000 miles, not 89,000 and will stand it's ground next to $25,000 low mileage CJ-7s like the ones offered by Collins Bros Jeeps, etc. 

Feel free to call me with any questions, or to set up a time to inspect the vehicle. (512) 748-5677  The Jeep is in Austin TX. If you want to arrange an inspection, please do so before hitting the buy it now, or making an offer.

I've been collecting old cars for years, and this is one of the nicest Jeeps I've ever seen in Central TX.   Never been hacked, no rhino liner hiding rust, this one is a time capsule. With a young family it's too nice for my needs.  I have purchased another Jeep that's more of a daily driver so this one must go.  Clear Texas Title in hand.

NHTSA still mulling crash tests for recalled Jeeps

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Well, no one should ever accuse the government of not giving things plenty of thought. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still debating whether it will retest any of the 1.56 million 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokees and 2002 to 2007 Libertys that were part of a recall regarding fires after rear-end collisions. And yes, this debate has been going on for over a month. In other news...
The recall dustup started in early June, when Chrysler took the unusual position of refusing a recall request from NHTSA regarding placement of the fuel tank on the effected vehicles. NHTSA said a collision could cause a fire, a position Chrysler took issue with. Extensive negotiations ensued, with Chrysler agreeing to fit certain Jeeps with trailer hitches, which it said would provide some protection to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle in the event of a collision.
Part of the issue rests with the amount of data that needs to be processed, according to The Detroit News. NHTSA administrator David Strickland said during a Washington Auto Press Association meeting, "There's a lot of data and Chrysler is being very cooperative in giving us more data." Until that information has been sorted, it looks like re-testing will still be up for debate.

Fiat Chrysler target 850k sales in China by 2018

Sun, 11 May 2014

Behind the vanguard of numerous Jeep models, two Chryslers, a smattering of Fiats and Alfa Romeos and local production through a joint venture with Guangzhou Automotive Group (GAG), Fiat Chrysler wants to increase sales in China more than six-fold by 2018. The group sold 130,000 cars in China in 2013, the aim for 2018 being 850,000 cars.
Ultimately it's expected that the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Wrangler, Renegade, the coming Grand Wagoneer and a sub-Renegade-sized crossover will either be built in or exported to the People's Republic. The Chrysler Town & Country and 300 will join the export list in 2016 and 2018 respectively, according to a report in Automotive News.
With a number of those vehicles not in production or perhaps even envisaged yet, and others not due on the local market until 2018, it will be interesting to see how Fiat Chrysler plans to achieve the target in the specified timeframe. The joint venture with GAG builds two products now, the Dodge Dart-based Fiat Viaggio launched two years ago - supposedly designed just for China - and the just-launched Fiat Ottimo, a hatchback version of the Viaggio. Fiat projected 300,000 Viagio sales in its first two years, that number has been adjusted downward to 94,000 and there doesn't appear to be an analyst alive that sees a good future for Fiat in China's overrun mainstream market. Still, last year's 130,000 group sales in China is a huge jump from 2012 sales of 66,000 units, but less than half the 300,000 units it projected.

Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
