   GREAT DAILY DRIVER OR EASY RESTORATION PROJECT!

 

1981 Jeep CJ7 Renegade..Last year of the narrow tracks..258ci 6cyl, BW T18 4spd w/6.0 low gear, Dana 300 T-Case, PS, Hard Top and Bikini Top w/soft half soft doors. 

This is an unrestored rust free original California CJ7..The body is good with the usual array of small dings and holes drilled through the years for different tops,carriers,handles, speakers etc..The frame and floors are solid..The paint and decals are ok for being 20+ years old but do show wear. The factory rear spare tire carrier has been re-installed as per the pics.

New windshield,dash pad,passenger mirror,muffler and fender flairs.

The engine is a 258(4.2L) 6cyl that starts and runs great..it has had a carburetor conversion to a Motorcraft 2bbl but otherwise appears to be stock..it does have the usual oil seeps and drips that are common with this era of Jeep.

The low geared BW T18 trans and Dana 300 t-case were converted by a previous owner...other than occasional typical stiff shifting truck 4spd trans,both work fine..clutch hooks good with no chatter. Has add-a-leaves and Confer spring shackles. The rest of the running gear is stock as far as I have found. 3.73 open diffs. Also has winch mount on front.

The interior is good driver quality..Front driver seat has been taped on the edge..passenger seats are good with all seat belts still intact..has lockable aftermarket steel center console w/AM-FM CD Stereo mounted in it..all gages work. Carpet is worn and stained,but ok for daily driving.

Has original chrome Jeep Wagon Wheels(incl spare)and 33-12.50-15 tires that are only about 20%..Also comes with a set of 4 BFG AT's that are 32/11.50/15's mounted on black spoke wheels,the tires are about 20% also.

It was involved in a collision in California in 1991 and has been on a salvage title ever since according to Car Fax..I was not the owner at that time,so am not sure how much damage was done,but I do know it runs and drives great/straight! I've had it up to 65mph and it drove as good and stable as any other CJ I've owned! Can't honestly tell what if any body panels were replaced at the time and the frame and frame horns look great and undamaged. 

The odometer reads 30000 miles,but I believe that to be 130000 since there is no sixth digit..In Idaho anything that is over 10yrs old is considered exempt on the miles.

Please call 208-965-0664(NO TEXTS!)with any questions..Pre-purchase inspections are encouraged and welcomed..please call with questions and assume nothing! 

This Jeep CJ is a solid unrestored project/daily driver,not restored or perfect!! 

Jeep can be stored for up to 60 days at no additional charge after purchase and payment is complete..can also assist with shipping options and loading on this end.  Thanks!

Fiat-based baby Jeep spotted testing in US and Europe

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

Details remain scarce, but our spy photographers have managed to capture the upcoming Jeep B-segment crossover for the first time, testing in both the Alps and in the US. Shown here as a cobbled-together Fiat 500L mule, the new Jeep model is expected to arrive for the 2015 model year and act as a replacement for the current Compass and Patriot models.
According to our shooter, the new "baby Jeep" will share a platform with the Fiat 500X, and both models will be built on the same assembly line in Turin, Italy. We can't tell much from these images, but the added length apparent on this 500L mule would seem to dispel the recent speculation that the new entry-level Jeep model would be sized closer to the Ford Fiesta - since the 500L is already considerably larger than the Fiesta. Powertrain options will likely mirror other Fiat/Chrysler collaborative vehicles like the Dodge Dart, but this Jeep will also try to live up to its off-road roots with an optional all-wheel-drive system.

Chrysler taking big risk snubbing NHTSA

Maker Insists Feds Overstate Risk Of Fires With Grand Cherokee, Liberty Models
It's not often that recall stories make it above the fold, in that old newspaper parlance, but when one shows up as the lead story on the network evening news programs, you know it's something big.
And so it is with Chrysler snubbing its nose at a request by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million Jeeps the feds insist are at risk of potentially catastrophic fuel tank fires in a rear-end collision.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
