Second listing with lower reserve.

1979 Jeep CJ5 Golden Eagle.  This was an original Golden Eagle.  29,000 miles on the ticker?  I have the original gold spare wheel and tire that has never been on the pavement.  It had the tach and clock common to the upgrade.  It was repainted by the second owner.  It had new Golden Eagle decals at that time.  The jeep has power steering with a chrome power steering pump.  A new power disc brake kit from Collins Bros jeeps with slotted high performance rotors.  Jeep stops straight and drives great. No steering slop.   Original 3 speed T-150 transmission rebuilt with new synchronizers and bearing kit  Shifts like new. Dana 20 transfer case works great.  The jeep came originally with a 304 V8 which is available.  The engine was replaced with a Tuff Dawg 365hp AMC Jeep 360cid crate engine.  See their web site ($5,000) tuffdawgengines.com.  The engine only has a few hundred miles on it.  This is a Sunday driver that only gets out once or twice a month when it is pretty.  The jeep sounds great.  Impressive horsepower in a light weight vehicle.  Engine has a Powermaster chrome alternator.  Aluminum pulleys from bulltear.com.  New Holley Street Dominator Caburator.  Hooker ceramic coated headers.  Chrome Hooker side pipe mufflers not glass packs.  Sounds good but not too loud.  New Powermaster high torque starter. New centerforce clutch and pressure plate.  Mickey Thompson Classic Lock wheels with 33" ProComp tires.  Tires like new.  Bestop low back seats.  They just feel right in a vintage classic.  Retractable factory lap belts.  SS dash. The original dash was cut for speakers.  It looked bad so I replaced it.   All the gauges work!.  I sent the factory clock off and had it rebuilt for $200.  This is the original clock not aftermarket.  The color was off on the after market clock.  It has a factory oil and volt gauge.  Same deal, after market color doesn't match instrument cluster at night.   Fuel gauge works. Factory tach works.  The windshield washer works, see photo.  The parking brake light works.  It has Hella headlights with an upgraded relay wiring harness ket for them.  This is a slick kit.  Lights are brighter than new vehicle headlights.  If it is on the Jeep it works as good as or better than factory.  There is no rust on this Jeep.  It spends its life in a plush garage.  Bestop super top with the good doors that convert to half doors.  Bikini top.  I have only had the top on it a couple of times.  I only drive it when it is warm and pretty although the top and heater work great.  New high performance heater blower motor.  Too much to list.

  I didn't think I would ever sale it but I want to put the money in another airplane.  I am not a dealer, I am a jeep connoisseur.  I have owned one or another cj for the last 30 years.  I bought this jeep because it was the real deal, solid honest, factory V8, bullet proof 3 speed, dana 20, no rhino lined over rust jeep.  I just made it better.  Nothing to do to it but drive and enjoy.  evanmarble@bellsouth.net

Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver is a more rugged Trailhawk

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We briefly mentioned the Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver that was heading to SEMA last week when discussing the Mopar lineup set to be shown in Las Vegas. At the time, though, we weren't able to dive too deeply into details. But with SEMA in full swing, we were able to sneak over and grab some snaps of one of the first modified Cherokees we've seen. The Cherokee is, after all, kind of an unknown quantity in the modification department, being so new and featuring such a polarizing design. We were quite interested to see what Mopar could come up with.
Starting with the Trailhawk 4x4 and its 3.2-liter V6, the engine is fitted with a Mopar cold-air intake and a new exhaust, although it's not clear what sort of power boost has resulted. We'll admit, we were hoping Jeep and Mopar would get a bit more aggressive with the Cherokee's suspension (has anyone thrown a few-inch lift on the new Jeep yet?), but there's no mention of upgrades beyond the knobby, off-road tires. Those should do some good when the going gets rough, while rock rails are there to protect the Auburn Pearl paint on the body.
Speaking of that paint, it's complemented by an interesting graphics package in contrasting black and Crush Orange. The cabin sports Katzkin Amaretto leather seats, along with tech-friendly items like a wireless charging system for cellphones and wireless internet.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
