1979 Jeep Cj7, Golden Eagle, 401 Cid V8, 4 Speed on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
I have owned this Jeep for about 15 years now. I do not really want to sell it but my lifestyle has changed and I need to move on to something more practical. First off while the Jeep is not 100% rust free, but it has very little rust, and it is only on the rear of the tub near the lower corners of the tailgate. I replaced the front fenders and windshield frame about 5 years ago and did paint the the original color but of course they do not match the tub as it has faded over the years. The original doors simply hung on the cowl and latched at the rear but were unsupported and rattled terribly, so I put doors off a YJ on it about the same time. The Jeep was originally a 304 v8, 3 speed. The engine started smoking and I decided it was time to rebuild the motor. Instead, I bought an AMC 401 to rebuild and install since it was an easy swap. It is bored .030 over, with forged pistons,and a balanced crankshaft. DUI HEI distributor and wires. We installed a be Cool high volume waterpump. It has an Edelbrock Victor Jr aluminum intake with and Edelbrock 4BBl Carb. Doug Thorley Headers, and dual Flow Master mufflers with tailpaipes to the rear. This combination has less than 5,000 miles on it. I then put in a new Centerforce clutch, and swapped in a T-18 transmission. The transmission has a granny low and is in stock configuration. I had a shop in town build a full width Dana 44 for the rear. It has drum brakes, an ARB locker and 4:56 gear ratio. It is hung on BDS 4" over lift springs with military wraps and greasable bushings. At the same time they narrowed a Dana 44 for the front. It has oversize disk brakes, an ARB locker and 4:56 gear ratio as well. It too is hung on BDS 4" over lift springs with military wraps and greasable bushings. They also moved all the steering componentry up over axle centerline for additional ground clearance. Also mounted the ARB compressor under the hood and switches under the dash. The interior has Best Top cloth bucket seats with headrests up front, along with a Best Top center console, and a Best Top fold and tumble rear seat. Factory guages with tach all work as they should. I put a Sony detachable face Stereo in the dash but have never wired it. I'd rather listen to the motor.... I mounted a family style rollbar in the Jeep, but have not updated the seat belts to the correct ones yet. The tires are 35x12.50x15 BFG Mud Terrains with about 3,000 miles on them. They are mounted on Centerline Convo HT Aluminum wheels. This tire/gear ratio combination makes the Jeep a blast to drive around town, and it easily goes down the highway at 60 or 65 miles an hour. It has factory power steering and power brakes although we did upgrade the master cylinder to a larger unit when we did the axles. Jeep also has factory hard top with factory bronze tinted windows, although they look gold to me. The reason I am selling it is that I have never had the Jeep four wheeling since we did all this work to it. I hate to admit it, but I just do not have the time to use it. Transportation is the buyers responsibility, but I will be happy to help load it for delivery after the vehicle is paid for. It sells only to the lower 48 states. Should you want more info about it please give me a call @ 719.440.4246 in the evenings, my name is Scott.

Marchionne defends FCA recalls, says Wrangler won't be all-aluminum
Fri, May 22 2015FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne recently received the 2015 Industry Leadership Award from the SAE Foundation. While speaking with the press after the event, the boss discussed his thoughts about some key issues regarding the company's future. One of the big regulatory issues facing FCA at the moment is the upcoming public hearing by the National Highway Traffic Safety into the automaker's handling of 20 recalls. Marchionne has no intention of testifying there, according to The Detroit News. The CEO also thinks that the government regulator is becoming much more aggressive in how it handles safety campaigns, but the Feds aren't necessarily doing a very good job of communicating that. "We need to work with the agency in a very cooperative and open way to make sure that we can meet their requirements for their new stance," he said, according to the newspaper. "We have no option but to comply with their requirements and we will. I have nothing to hide in this process. I just want clear rules." Marchionne also dropped the news that the company has changed its mind about making the next Jeep Wrangler totally from aluminum. "Because of the difference in cost, not just the new material but the actual assembly process, I think we can do almost as well without doing it all-aluminum," he said to The Detroit News. This seemingly opens the door for the model to remain in production in Toledo, OH, but only just a crack. Marchionne says that the new Wrangler would still use a large amount of aluminum, and there are "at least" two sites in contention for the assembly. The company doesn't have too long to make a decision because the model reportedly launches in 2017.
FCA applies to trademark 'My Freedom' for subscription service
Wed, Jan 22 2020Almost a year ago to the day, several outlets reported that Fiat Chrysler would trial three car-swapping programs in Boston focused on the Jeep brand. One program covered peer-to-peer Jeep rentals through Turo; another was a three-month subscription service through Avis that allowed Jeep owners to swap for Ram or Dodge vehicles; the third was called "Car Borrowing" and enabled Jeep owners to buy "Jeep Coins" to use on a one-day rental of other Fiat Chrysler products. It's possible FCA is taking last year's lessons to the next phase, CarBuzz having discovered the automaker applied to trademark the term "My Freedom" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The listed purpose of the mark would be "motor vehicle subscription services, namely, providing temporary use of motor vehicles to members for their personal use." Having begun its research using Jeep, it's not clear if a potential My Freedom subscription service would retain the 4x4 SUV focus or include other brands in the fold; with Jeep's martial origins, the brand has made ample use of the Freedom name over the years. There's also a link to new partner Groupe PSA, as the French automaker's mobility division and subscription service is dubbed Free2Move.  Related: Autoblog's guide to car subscription services  FCA made no comment on the filing, but an analyst at AutoForecast Solutions told The Detroit News that the submission "prepares (FCA) for the future," as. "The idea that autonomy would prevent the need for your own vehicle leads perfectly into subscriptions." U.S. brands haven't cracked the subscription nut yet, even with their premium offerings. Ford bought subscription startup Canvas in 2016, then sold it last year to the car-rental app Fair. GM launch Book by Cadillac in 2016, and shut it down for retooling in 2018 before a re-launch scheduled to happen sometime this year. If nothing else, an FCA subscription program with access to the top-end product could give other-brand luxury owners an easy way to pay attention to Maserati and Alfa Romeo. That would be good for everyone. Related Video:  Â
Fiat Centro Stile sells design sketches to support kids in Italy
Sun, Jun 21 2020Fiat's Centro Stile design studio in Europe has kicked off a project called stART Again to support the global charity Save the Children. The studio put 136 high-resolution sketches of Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, and Lancia vehicles for download online at just ˆ20 a pop — about $22. The proceeds from all sales will be donated to a charity founded in England 101 years ago "to improve the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts." Save the Children will use the funds to provide supplies, teaching materials, and support for studies for more than 100,000 children in the most disadvantaged areas of Italy who have been additionally harmed by the coronavirus and its effects. There are a heap of knockout drawings available. The selection at the Alfa Romeo store ranges from a 1958 Alfetta 158 racer to the coming Giulia GTA, classics in between including the immortal GTV 6 and the left-field 75 1.8 Turbo TCC racer. The Fiat marketplace contains wares from Abarth, Fiat, and Fiat Professional, with a massive emphasis on the new 500, but the hardcore 1972 Abarth 124 Spyder and oddball 900E van get slots in there (the 900E looks like a Volkswagen Vanagon, but the 900E came first). The Jeep shop is all business and big tires, save for the 1942 Willys MB, but someone needs to take the 1956 Jeep Forward Control sketch off the page and into reality. And the Lancia store has more to offer than the Stratos and Delta Integrale, an ominous Aurelia B20 GT and a Fulvia GT part of the five-model lineup. For some reason, Maserati got left out of the graphic bonanza, as did Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler, which is a shame. That still leaves 136 good reasons to click through and help the kiddies.
