No Reserve Auction 1979 Jeep CJ7 Golden Eagle - 1 Owner! This rare morocco buff colored original owner classic CJ7 Golden Eagle spent the majority of its life in Las Vegas, Nevada and Western Colorado which are both dry climates. The Jeep was recently given up by the original owner due to a foot injury making it difficult to drive a manual. I had the fuel drained and had it serviced last week adjusting the timing, carburetor, fresh oil change and spark plugs. It is running great now and drives very nice. I drove it to the mountains today to take photos with the hardtop on and it drove comfortably. This would make the perfect summer cruiser, weekend warrior or addition to your collection. Engine: 258 4.2L 6cylinder motor was rebuilt @ 100k miles. It runs great, starts right up (has a manual choke and needs a cable for it) and I do not notice any leaks on the pavement after driving it. The Jeep is has power upgrades including a 4 barrel Edlebrock carburetor, Clifford manifold, headers and dual exhaust. The cherry bomb mufflers give it a v8 sound. There is not a catalytic converter or smog equipment on the motor. Transmission/Transfer Case: 3spd T150 Manual Transmission that shifts great, whines a little and the clutch is very tight, responsive and does not slip. The Dana 20 transfer case shifts easily in and out of 4x4. 4x4 works great both in low and high ranges. Drivetrain/suspension: The Jeep drives smooth and has an upgraded suspension with Rancho shocks and leaf springs. The front leaf springs appear to be sagging a bit and could use replacement to match up the rear ride height. The Jeep is a non power steering unit and if I were to keep it I'd recommend adding power steering for easier driving. Interior Controls/Switches: Everything in the interior works except the factory tachometer and the windshield wipers are intermittent. The radio works but needs a center dash speaker to have sound. Paint/Body: The paint is a rare golden eagle color Morocco Buff with Golden Eagle Striping decals. It is original paint that looks great and super reflective, shows a lot of luster and is shiny. The rear drivers quarter was repaired at one point, the owner said the jeep was bumped in a parking lot and was professionally repaired. There is a small section on the drivers rear quarter where the paint is starting to flake off near the front of the flare (view photo). The front clip and fenders have sand chips. The hood on the inside has been painted black texture and on the exterior there are a few small ding dents. There are misc nicks, marks and blemishes to be expected for a 35 yr old Jeep. One of the rear tire carrier mounts broke off at one point and a support bar was added on back to strengthen the tire carrier. I just had a new front glass windshield replaced. Interior: The interior really nice, the front black aftermarket seats are new and very comfy. The interior floor has a smooth texture liner on and it appears to be in good shape with some minor flaking in couple spots. There is a little surface rust on the passenger floor but not thru. The Jeep is pretty close to rust free except the spot on the passenger door cut out and under the dash pad by the grab handle bar (view photos). Hardtop and Full Doors: The original hardtop is in excellent shape. A polish can be used to bring out the color of the hardtop and it appears the hardtop was repainted at one point. The rear tailgate on the hardtop has some dents, blemishes (view photos). The full hard doors are in great shape without any rust. The windows roll up and down easily (passenger side doesn't quite reach the top, stops about 1/3" from top. The passenger door has a dent where the vinyl is and both vinyl material on each door have scratches. The passenger side doesn't quite match the repainted hardtop. Tires/Wheels: Original 15x8 Gold Golden Eagle wheels with a black stripe. The wheels are in good shape with some chips and blemishes but still look sharp and original. The tires were purchased new in 1994 and need to be replaced. Although I have driven a couple hundred miles on these tires and the tread is 75%, I would highly suggest replacing them as they are dry rotting. The tire size is 31x10.50x15". Rust/Undercarriage: The only significant rust is on the passenger side by the door cut out (view photos), passenger front fender and passenger front floor have minor surface rust. The Jeep is very clean and the undercarriage appears discolored and has surface rust but no significant rust issues. Overall: This Golden Eagle will make a great daily driver, weekend warrior, summer adventurer or an addition to your collection. The CJ7 is used and 35 years old, so it may have blemishes I didn't capture on my camera or may have missed in my description. I did my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep. The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees. I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado. Included are a clean Colorado Title and bill of sale. Shipping: If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643. Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery. He has helped me on a couple cars I have bought as well as sold and shipped. Conclusion: A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal. All sales are final. The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time. Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer. I have sold a few cars on eBay in the past and can provide references if necessary. I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this Jeep is listed for sale locally as well.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.
Chrysler
2014: Refreshed 300/300C, debuting at Los Angeles Auto Show
First Jeepster prototype spotted with final, boxy form
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The long-awaited baby Jeep is getting closer to production, as evidenced by these spy photos. Previously, the only images of the so-called Jeepster saw it wearing a Fiat 500L body (see below), while this new batch of photos show hefty amounts of camouflage. How is that better? Well, it's very likely there's a production body hiding under all that cladding.
While picking out styling details is virtually impossible thanks to all the camo, as our spies point out, this gives us a very sound idea of the Jeepster's final size. It's small, although we'd argue that it's only slightly smaller than the current Jeep Patriot, based on the images of the newest Jeep sitting in front of an Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
As we reported previously, this little bambino will be built on a Fiat platform, but the styling should be uniquely Jeep - likely to include a somewhat vertical seven-slat grille and round headlights. We can expect to see a production Jeepster, if that ends up being the actual name (Latitude has been rumored, although as that's traditionally a trim level, we imagine there'd be some confusion), when it debuts at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily
Wed, 19 Nov 2014In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.
