NO RESERVE
For sale ONLY on eBay - Highest bidder wins! This is my wife's toy. She has a clear title in hand. This is the 8th Jeep we have owned and the coolest of them all. My wife wanted a toy that looked good, sounded good, is fun to drive and that she could drop the top and take to the local cruise in. She has owned this Jeep going on three years and due to health issues she does not get to enjoy it enough to keep it. The Jeep is always garage kept and gets a lot of attention everywhere it goes. This Jeep started it's life as a 1979 CJ5 Renegade. A few years back the owner before us did a complete frame off restoration lifted the Jeep and professionally added a new 350 Chevy V8 with a TH350 automatic transmission, B & M shifter with reverse lock out and a Ford 9 inch rear end. This included advance adapters and a full Painless wiring harness. Current mileage showing on the odometer since new motor and complete rebuild is 20,927 as of today. This could change slightly as I try to drive it a few miles every weekend. Since we have owned it we replaced the steering wheel, fully updated the windshield wiper system, added leather front race seats and the rock slider rails to the sides as steps. We also last year completely updated the fuel system from the tank to the carburator with new sending unit, hoses, filter, electric pump, pressure regulator and dash mounted electric switch for the pump. We upgraded and added new oil pressure, water temperature and volt meter gauges to the dash and added a steering mounted tachometer. The Jeep received a complete tune up in December with plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, etc. Just last week it got an engine oil change and filter, a new transmission filter and fluid and the front differential fluid was changed. The Jeep starts right up and drives and shifts as it should. It has manual lock out hubs on the front axle and the four wheel drive system works as it should in both high and low range. Everything works on the Jeep and it just passed North Carolina inspection last month with no problems. Three things to mention are the horn does work but only if the steering wheel is turned slightly left or right. The cam button needs to be replaced in the steering column. These can usually be purchased around $10.00. The factory fuel gauge does also work but it not 100% accurate. It reads full when filled up but gets to empty before all the fuel is used up. I thought the new sending unit would correct that but it did not. It has a 15 gallon tank and usually only takes 8 to 10 gallons when showing empty. The four wheel drive indicator light is not hooked. You simply shift into four wheel low or high by feel and know when you are in four wheel drive. The tires have less than 2000 miles on them with plenty of tread left. They are Mickey Thompson 33 x 12.50. This Jeep is LOUD with the headers and side pipes! Warn 9000 Lb Winch w/ hand held remote that easily reaches to the drivers seat. Full custom welded roll bar. Power Steering / Power Brakes / Tilt steering The full top and soft doors are in very good condition and it also comes with a bikini top. The paint really shines. There is a small ding on top of both front fenders and one on the hood. There are a couple of paint chips on the drivers side entry that are covered when the soft doors are on. I had a leak around the transmission pan gasket and purchased a new cast aluminum extra capacity pan. Unfortunately it would not clear the front drive shaft. I changed the fluid and filter and added a new gasket but still have a very slight leak on the drivers side front corner. I just torqued the bolts slightly more and hope this resolves the issue but fell a new pan is needed. I'll let the pictures speak for the rest. You are welcome to come and drive and inspect the Jeep before bidding. Please feel free to ask any questions. I will respond promptly and post all answers here for everyone to see. Happy Bidding |

Jeep Wrangler by Vilner takes extreme luxury off-road
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Vilner turned its customary and intensely luxurious attentions to a two-door Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited back in 2012, following that up this year with its take on the four-door version. A coat of lustrous black paint outside is brightened up LED headlights, foglights and taillights and layers of chrome laid on the grille, mirrors, door handles and fuel filler cap.
Stance gets an injection of brawn from the 20-inch wheels, and they'll roll faster thanks to the power upgrade from 197 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque in the 2.8-liter diesel to 257 hp and 412 lb-ft.
Inside is furious red, with cross-stitched crimson leather and Alcantara demanding your focus. When you can look away from that, you'll find the raw metal parts painted black and again ornamented in minor applications of chrome. Feel free to feast on it in the high-res gallery above.
Fiat-based baby Jeep spotted testing in US and Europe
Thu, 03 Oct 2013Details 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.
2014 Jeep Patriot and Compass ditch CVT for six-speed auto
Mon, 07 Jan 2013It was reported in Automotive News a few months ago, but a new report on Allpar.com adds some details to news that the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot will get a six-speed automatic to replace the CVTs they currently use. According to a tip provided to Allpar, the 2014 models will begin production in March and be on sale sometime in the summer. The Jatco-sourced CVT in use until now - Jatco is owned by Nissan and Mitsubishi - has been often criticized, and many won't be sad to see it go.
The incoming six-speed automatic is said to be an all-wheel-drive cog-swapper that's the work of Hyundai and Magna and has been paired with the DynaMax AWD system used in the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. It won't be the only Chrysler product using a transmission with ties to Hyundai: the six-speed automatic in the Dodge Dart comes from Powertech, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai. With the Patriot and Compass said to be driving down the trail for the last time this year, it will be a short run for the new tranny and the rumored addition of a backup camera and power rear liftgate on the Compass.
