I looked for years for one in this condition.. Original body and paint and as rust free as they come!! If that isn't enough, this one is set up exactly how I want. I came across this recently and bought it.. I spread myself thin financially doing it, so either this needs to go or my convertible "8701" model Jeepster.. If I dont sell this, I will likely list the Jeepster.. This is one amazing find. Pictures show condition well. It has always been garage kept. Everything that has ever been done to this Jeep has been a methodical sequence of events.. It is obvious when you familiarize yourself a little bit with this Jeep, the two previous owners were very caring owners.I expect questions from serious buyers and I am available to do a "walk around" over the phone for those buyers.. I also encourage you to come out and see it for yourself, I'm willing to pick you up from the airport to help accommodate you. I'm a classic car enthusiast, have owned several neat cars, and have sold a handful of them on Ebay.. The last one I sold was in 2011, it was an original paint 72 Datsun 240z.. Every buyer has been happy with the car they have received. I know where and what to look for when considering a classic car. We all know rust (lack of!) and originality are the key components that dictate value in any classic. I hope you find my description and pictures supportive of a classic car enthusiast.. I truly try to show the areas that I would want to see. Onto the some details of this amazing vehicle.
Body, Paint and Rust Condtion:
Personally, I have never seen one in this condition before.. All original steel body, with no paint work ever. It has always been garage kept. The body is incredibly straight. Study the pics closely, ask for specific pics. The rear corners, tailgate, fender, tub (floor pan) are all superb. The paint still has luster. It has its share of tiny rock chips mostly on the forward areas of the front fenders and grill. The decals are factory, and in good shape considering their age. As far as rust.. Its much easier to show you in the pictures... the lack of rust. I believe the best way to familiarize yourself and really learn what you have is to detail clean the entire vehicle.. After all, dirt is often where rust starts, and hides it from the eye. I've spent some time cleaning and waxing this Jeep.. I will admit, it was very exciting for me to discover how exceptionally clean this CJ7 is! The lift gate of the hard top has a 3-4" hole (see pic) There is one spot shown on the back left corner that is very minor. It localized and the metal around it is solid, has not affected the body mount area below. There is some slight rust beginning under the horn mount on the front left fender, you can email me for a pic of that if you want. I have tried to get good shots of the floors from both sides, they are amazing. A very common spot for rust is the lower back sides of the front fenders, I've included pictures of those areas too.. Again, study the pictures.. Call or email me for any specific shots you may desire.. I have no problem taking pics from my iphone and texting them or emailing them to you.. Just ask.
Mechanical, Drivetrain etc:
This Jeep has been set up perfectly.. in my opinion. To be totally honest.. Its a monster. When you jump on the gas.. be ready.. this thing is like a muscle car. Here are some of the upgrades.
360 AMC V-8 smooth, quiet seasoned motor. Very responsive, very powerful. On occasion, you may see one light puff of smoke at start up.. Does not continue to smoke. Nothing to be worried about at all here.. It has a newer Edelbrock intake and carb setup.. It doesn't miss a beat.. Has all the power and more I would expect from such a motor. It has dual exhaust with glass packs.. When your on the gas.. you know it.. and everyone else does too! Its a little loud for me. Im 100% confident in this motor..
T-18 Ford 4 speed transmission with granny low 1st gear, and low reverse. Works perfectly in all gears, no noises or issues. Clutch engages without any chatter, slippage or issues.
I believe the transfer case, and axles to be original. Quite certain its a Dana 44 in the rear and Dana 30 up front.. Factory skid plates, etc all intact.
The Renegade came with factory power steering and power brakes. Both work well. Steering is good, but may need some attention.. I've driven it at 55-60 mph on a winding road.. handled like I expected a Jeep to.
Has a loc-rite locker in the front.. I've put it into both 4 hi and 4 lo.. you can definitely feel the locker in the front working. Also comes with a locker for the rear that is used and is supposedly the right one! Factory spider gears for the front end included too.
Electrical, everything works including all lights (every light except the under the hood light works). Has an aftermarket tach that is working, factory gauges work.. fuel gauge is working intermittently, working today! Has a newer stereo with aux/ipod hook up. Under the rear seat is a 12V compressor with appropriate air tool kit. This is activated by a toggle switch on the dash. Nice extra.
Suspension: It appears that maybe it has a longer set of spring shackles on it.. It does sit a little lower on the rear left corner.. I cant see any problem with the leaf spring. Has newer shocks and the rest of the suspension/front end looks very original and un-tampered with.
Interior:
Pics show condition well. Dash is in great shape with no speaker holes cut, looks factory. Steering column looks great. Floors have been treated professionally with a bed-liner material and look great. Front seats are original and the upholstery looks great for a 30+yr old Jeep! Rear seat is from a Samurai, it folds and tumbles to reveal the 12v compressor and tool area. This tool box is completely removable if one wanted to go back to the original seat set up. Original rear seat is not included. Seat belts intact. Rear factory roll bar was professionally modified to cover more area in the rear.. it was then powder coated black. It was also, reinforced from underneath for a stronger mount. Nice locking center console with cup holders. Windows roll up and down. Doors have hairline cracks on both, and have been repaired (see photo, black rubber strip). Tailgate works perfectly and rear cargo lift works well. Ventilation/Heater box was completely cleaned, new heater core installed, cables all working.
Accessories:
This Jeep has all of the best accessories you could think of.. Anything added was done extremely well and it shows.
Believed to be a Dealer installed Warn winch, with vinyl cover !!! Awesome!!
Front loc-rite locker
Edelbrock intake/carb
Aluminum radiator
electronic ignition
Aftermarket aluminum wheels, 31" AT's
Nice Bikini top
Nice soft half doors
Has mounts for (2) 5 gal Jerry cans
Comes with a used rear locker (told it will fit, no guarantee)
Nice lockable center console
Nice sounding stereo with 2 6x9 speakers and 2 5.25" in boxes up front.
Like new pair of Cabella seat covers.
12v air compressor and accompanying air tool bag.
Summary:
As I mentioned.. I have never seen one in better condition that this.. Original paint is a big deal for me.. No bondo hiding rust problems.. Great patina, that shows this Jeep has been cared for and preserved. It is a blast to drive.. It really has gobs of power. Everything added and listed above, was very well thought out and adds to the enjoyment factor of this Jeep. With the monster power, super low range ability, Warn winch and the locker up front, this Jeep is very capable off road. Would compliment any Jeep enthusiasts collection. Amazing survivor.

Just a year after it burst onto the scene, Jeep has already made a pretty substantial addition to its V6-powered Cherokee, which has proven to be an extremely popular seller so far for the brand, adding a new stop-start system for the midsize, off-road-ready CUV.
The addition of stop-start included a few aerodynamic tweaks to the Cherokee's polarizing body, resulting in a wallet-pleasing increase in fuel economy. According to the EPA, the front-drive, V6-powered Jeep will now return 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, up from 19 city and 28 highway. Four-wheel-drive, V6-powered Cherokees, meanwhile, will now return 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, up from 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg.
With 271 horsepower, 239 pound-feet of torque and these newly enhanced figures, it's refreshing to see a larger, naturally aspirated engine that is still able to take the fight to today's crop of small-displacement, turbocharged four-cylinders.

Preliminary first-quarter results from 2013 have been announced by Chrysler, and the company is reporting a net income of $166 million on revenue of $15.4 billion. Compared to this period last year, net income is down $307 million and revenue has dropped $1 billion.
Chrysler says that its quarter was negatively affected by the costs associated with launching its 2013 Ram Heavy Duty, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and preparation for the return of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee pictured above. The launches should provide a strong second half of 2013, says the automaker. "We remain on track to achieve our business targets, even as the first-quarter results were affected by an aggressive product launch schedule," said Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne.
On a positive note, the automaker says worldwide vehicle sales are up 8 percent from one year ago, a number pushed by a 12 percent bump in U.S. retail sales. In addition, domestic market share has risen slightly, up to 11.4 percent from 11.2 percent last year. Read more in the official statement below.

In our First Drive article on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee we said, "our informal and thoroughly unscientific opinion is they're going to sell tons of them. Why? Because it is very good." So far, it appears the public concurs. Of course, it's very early - the new compact utility has logged just one month of confirmed sales, but Larry Vellequette at Automotive News says dealers have told him that the second month of sales will be even better, a message that mirrors what we've heard from company execs.
In its first, severely truncated month on sale, the Cherokee sold 579 units. With all of November to play with, though, dealers moved 10,169 of them - compared to 11,753 Wranglers and 14,798 Grand Cherokees. That helped propel Jeep to a 30-percent year-on-year improvement for the month, Chrysler Group to a 16-percent improvement and the group's 44th consecutive month of sales growth, exceeding analyst expectations in posting its best November numbers since 2007.
If it can just keep replicating the its first month of sales, the finalist in North American Truck of the Year voting will smoke the trade done by the outgoing Liberty, which didn't break 7,900 units in a month in the last four years of its life (and normally didn't get close to even that). In March this year, Chrysler said it wants to build 250,000 Cherokees in its Toledo assembly plant for global sales. It's early yet, but with second-month sales quoted as being as "strong as death," the bookies might be resetting the odds.
