No Reserve Auction 1979 Jeep CJ7 Golden Eagle - 1 Owner! This rare morocco buff colored original owner classic CJ7 Golden Eagle spent the majority of its life in Las Vegas, Nevada and Western Colorado which are both dry climates. The Jeep was recently given up by the original owner due to a foot injury making it difficult to drive a manual. I had the fuel drained and had it serviced last week adjusting the timing, carburetor, fresh oil change and spark plugs. It is running great now and drives very nice. I drove it to the mountains today to take photos with the hardtop on and it drove comfortably. This would make the perfect summer cruiser, weekend warrior or addition to your collection. Engine: 258 4.2L 6cylinder motor was rebuilt @ 100k miles. It runs great, starts right up (has a manual choke and needs a cable for it) and I do not notice any leaks on the pavement after driving it. The Jeep is has power upgrades including a 4 barrel Edlebrock carburetor, Clifford manifold, headers and dual exhaust. The cherry bomb mufflers give it a v8 sound. There is not a catalytic converter or smog equipment on the motor. Transmission/Transfer Case: 3spd T150 Manual Transmission that shifts great, whines a little and the clutch is very tight, responsive and does not slip. The Dana 20 transfer case shifts easily in and out of 4x4. 4x4 works great both in low and high ranges. Drivetrain/suspension: The Jeep drives smooth and has an upgraded suspension with Rancho shocks and leaf springs. The front leaf springs appear to be sagging a bit and could use replacement to match up the rear ride height. The Jeep is a non power steering unit and if I were to keep it I'd recommend adding power steering for easier driving. Interior Controls/Switches: Everything in the interior works except the factory tachometer and the windshield wipers are intermittent. The radio works but needs a center dash speaker to have sound. Paint/Body: The paint is a rare golden eagle color Morocco Buff with Golden Eagle Striping decals. It is original paint that looks great and super reflective, shows a lot of luster and is shiny. The rear drivers quarter was repaired at one point, the owner said the jeep was bumped in a parking lot and was professionally repaired. There is a small section on the drivers rear quarter where the paint is starting to flake off near the front of the flare (view photo). The front clip and fenders have sand chips. The hood on the inside has been painted black texture and on the exterior there are a few small ding dents. There are misc nicks, marks and blemishes to be expected for a 35 yr old Jeep. One of the rear tire carrier mounts broke off at one point and a support bar was added on back to strengthen the tire carrier. I just had a new front glass windshield replaced. Interior: The interior really nice, the front black aftermarket seats are new and very comfy. The interior floor has a smooth texture liner on and it appears to be in good shape with some minor flaking in couple spots. There is a little surface rust on the passenger floor but not thru. The Jeep is pretty close to rust free except the spot on the passenger door cut out and under the dash pad by the grab handle bar (view photos). Hardtop and Full Doors: The original hardtop is in excellent shape. A polish can be used to bring out the color of the hardtop and it appears the hardtop was repainted at one point. The rear tailgate on the hardtop has some dents, blemishes (view photos). The full hard doors are in great shape without any rust. The windows roll up and down easily (passenger side doesn't quite reach the top, stops about 1/3" from top. The passenger door has a dent where the vinyl is and both vinyl material on each door have scratches. The passenger side doesn't quite match the repainted hardtop. Tires/Wheels: Original 15x8 Gold Golden Eagle wheels with a black stripe. The wheels are in good shape with some chips and blemishes but still look sharp and original. The tires were purchased new in 1994 and need to be replaced. Although I have driven a couple hundred miles on these tires and the tread is 75%, I would highly suggest replacing them as they are dry rotting. The tire size is 31x10.50x15". Rust/Undercarriage: The only significant rust is on the passenger side by the door cut out (view photos), passenger front fender and passenger front floor have minor surface rust. The Jeep is very clean and the undercarriage appears discolored and has surface rust but no significant rust issues. Overall: This Golden Eagle will make a great daily driver, weekend warrior, summer adventurer or an addition to your collection. The CJ7 is used and 35 years old, so it may have blemishes I didn't capture on my camera or may have missed in my description. I did my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep. The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees. I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado. Included are a clean Colorado Title and bill of sale. Shipping: If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643. Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery. He has helped me on a couple cars I have bought as well as sold and shipped. Conclusion: A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal. All sales are final. The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time. Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer. I have sold a few cars on eBay in the past and can provide references if necessary. I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this Jeep is listed for sale locally as well.

Europe gets Jeep Wrangler Polar limited edition
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Jeep will be bringing an all-new, limited-edition model to the European market called the Wrangler Polar. Based on the Wrangler Sahara and set to make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Wrangler Polar sports new Hyrdro Blue paint, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a body-color hardtop, and the regular mix of Mopar styling accessories. Billet Silver Metallic and Bright White are available for those that don't dig the glossy blue, while a two-door variant will be available in addition to the four-door pictured above.
The Polar's interior features similar tweaks; Pearl White contrast stitching can be found on both the seats and steering wheel, while ceramic White bezels and other accents give a nice contrasting look to the cabin.
Underhood sits an engine that should make American Wrangler enthusiasts weep - a 2.8-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel. With 200 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque channeled through a five-speed automatic transmission, the Wrangler Polar should handle itself just fine on normal roads. British buyers will also be able to select the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. For rougher stuff, Dana axles can be found front and rear (Dana 30 up front and Dana 44 in back), while the Command-Trac four-wheel-drive system and its two-speed transfer case should be enough for when the roads disappear.
Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
Jeep sets all-time sales record in 2012
Wed, 09 Jan 2013Last year was good to Jeep. Chrysler has announced its trail-rated brand set an all-time global sales record in 2012 by moving 701,626 units. That number easily surpasses the previous record set in 1999 when Jeep sold 675,494 models. All told, the brand saw a 19-percent sales increase worldwide over 2011, and much of that swell can be traced directly to the Wrangler. While the Grand Cherokee led Jeep sales, the Wrangler posted record numbers both globally and within the US, moving 194,142 and 141,669 units in each market, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Compass beat its previous global sales record with 103,321 units rolling off of dealer lots. In the US, Jeep sold 62,010 Patriot units, breaking that model's previous record as well. Jeep's impressive performance in 2012 marks the second year in a row the brand has seen double-digit percentage sales increases. Check out the full press release below.
