1986 Jeep Cj-7 Renegade Original Rare Rust Free Survivor Hard Top on 2040-cars

Year:1986 Mileage:48822
Location:

Roswell, Georgia, United States

Roswell, Georgia, United States

Up for auction is my 1986 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade - Original, rust free survivor!  Last year of the CJ-7! 

Reserve is WELL BELOW the market on this CJ!  I am listing TO SELL, not for my health!  You're not wasting your time bidding on this listing! 

This CJ has the rarest interior color of all non special edition CJ7's -  Garnet!  

I purchased this rare piece of automotive history in December of 2013 out of Amarillo Texas with 48k original miles. (After looking for it for 2 years)

I had the Jeep extensively checked out by a local dealer, and per their recommendation, I had all differential fluids changed, rear brakes replaced (with brake seals), engine oil & transmission fluid replaced, coolant & coolant hoses were replaced, as well as having it tuned up.  This is a 'no apologies' CJ! 

I have never noticed any leaks on the Jeep, and would have no issue driving it cross country.  (And back) 

This CJ has the 258 inline 6 cylinder (4.2 liter) with the extremely high demand T-176 4 speed transmission backing it up, with an AMC 20 rear axel.  The Jeep cranks easily, idles smooth, and drives perfect.  The T-176 shifts great, with the throws tight and notchy, and the Power Steering make the Jeep effortless to control.

The paint and decals appear to be completely original.  The paint's clear coat is chipping on the hood, and the hood also has with 2 paint chips on it, with just the normal amount of wear and tear elsewhere.  The cowl's paint is thinning - but not bad at all.  (Please remember this is a survivor). The Renegade decals are bright, correct, and in nice condition for their age.  

As best as I can tell this Jeep was equipped from the factory with the hard doors, and a soft top.  (It has the proper 'vent window dash pad' that only comes on a hard door CJ) The doors are still in good shape, and the windows operate smoothly.  The soft top was swapped out long ago for what appears to be a YJ Hard top, and it is in very good condition.  (No cracks in glass or fiberglass damage) 

The floor pans, windshield frame, cowl, and under the roll bar, are all solid as a rock. (Light surface oxidation under drivers feet) 


Please do not bid on this CJ if you're just planning on turning it into rock crawler, parting out the interior, or slathering the tub with cheap 'do it yourself' bed liner.  This Jeep is the very last year of the most iconic vehicle in American history, and deserves a new owner that will treat it as such.  Reserve is WELL BELOW market and I will assist you if you wish to ship this Jeep.  $500.00 deposit via PayPal upon completion of this auction, with the remainder within 4 business days.  Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you would like to view it in person. 

Happy bidding!

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT gets power increase, minor tweaks for 2015

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

As a brand within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, SRT may have an uncertain future, but it's pumping out some seriously mean machines anyway. The supercharged Hellcat V8 may be gobbling up most of the headlines with its 707 horsepower, but even the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting some small updates for the 2015 model year.
Most importantly for many enthusiasts, the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting a slight power bump. Don't expect the 700+ hp from the Hellcat, but this SUV sees a modest 5-hp and 5-pound-feet of torque improvement to bring output to 475 hp and 470 lb-ft for its 6.4-liter V8 with an eight-speed automatic. The minor change doesn't change the sprint to 60 miles per hour, clocking in at the same 4.8 seconds, or the tow rating at 7,200 pounds. Still, more grunt is never a bad idea.
Another new addition is the Active Noise Canceling system as a standard feature for this powerful SUV. It adds four microphones around the vehicle and uses the stereo system to nullify extraneous sound. However, Jeep claims that the meaty exhaust note from the V8 still gets through into the cabin for driver enjoyment.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
