For your consideration, is this amazing 1979 Jeep CJ7. I looked for years for one in this condition.. Original body and paint and as rust free as they come!! If that isn't enough, this one is set up with all the right equipment. I came across this recently and bought it.. I spread myself thin financially doing it, so either this needs to go or my convertible "8701" model Jeepster.. If I dont sell this, I will likely list the Jeepster.. This is one amazing find. Pictures show condition well. It has always been garage kept. Everything that has ever been done to this Jeep has been a methodical sequence of events.. It is obvious when you familiarize yourself a little bit with this Jeep, the two previous owners were very caring owners.I expect questions from serious buyers and I am available to do a "walk around" over the phone for those buyers.. I also encourage you to come out and see it for yourself, I'm willing to pick you up from the airport to help accommodate you. I'm a classic car enthusiast, have owned several neat cars, and have sold a handful of them on Ebay.. The last one I sold was in 2011, it was an original paint 72 Datsun 240z.. Every buyer has been happy with the car they have received. I know where and what to look for when considering a classic car. We all know rust (lack of!) and originality are the key components that dictate value in any classic. I hope you find my description and pictures supportive of a classic car enthusiast.. I truly try to show the areas that I would want to see. Onto the some details of this amazing vehicle.
Body, Paint and Rust Condtion:
Personally, I have never seen one in this condition before.. All original steel body, with no paint work ever. It has always been garage kept. The body is incredibly straight. Study the pics closely, ask for specific pics. The rear corners, tailgate, fender, tub (floor pan) are all superb. The paint still has a good luster and does not appear to be wearing thin like many original paint Jeeps.. Don't expect like new paint though.. It has its share of paint imperfections.. mostly tiny rock chips, the front fenders and grill is where the majority of them are. The decals are factory, and in good shape considering their age. As far as rust.. Its much easier to show you in the pictures... the lack of rust. I believe the best way to familiarize yourself and really learn what you have is to detail clean the entire vehicle.. After all, dirt is often where rust starts, and hides it from the eye. I've spent some time cleaning and waxing this Jeep.. I will admit, it was very exciting for me to discover how exceptionally clean this CJ7 is! The lift gate of the hard top has a 3-4" hole (see pic) There is one spot shown on the back left corner that is very minor. It localized and the metal around it is solid, has not affected the body mount area below. There is some slight rust beginning under the horn mount on the front left fender, you can email me for a pic of that if you want. I have tried to get good shots of the floors from both sides, they are amazing. A very common spot for rust is the lower back sides of the front fenders, I've included pictures of those areas too.. Again, study the pictures.. Call or email me for any specific shots you may desire.. I have no problem taking pics from my iphone and texting them or emailing them to you.. Just ask.
Mechanical, Drivetrain etc:
This Jeep has been set up perfectly.. in my opinion. To be totally honest.. Its a monster. When you jump on the gas.. be ready.. this thing is like a muscle car. Here are some of the upgrades.
360 AMC V-8 smooth, quiet seasoned motor. Very responsive, very powerful. On occasion, you may see one light puff of smoke at start up.. Does not continue to smoke. Nothing to be worried about at all here.. It has a newer Edelbrock intake and carb setup.. It doesn't miss a beat, very responsive. Has all the power and more I would expect from such a motor. It has dual exhaust with glass packs.. When your on the gas.. you know it.. and everyone else does too! Its a little loud for me. Im 100% confident in this motor..
T-18 Ford 4 speed transmission with granny low 1st gear, and low reverse. Works perfectly in all gears, no noises or issues. Clutch engages without any chatter, slippage or issues.
I believe the transfer case, and axles to be original. Quite certain its a Dana 44 in the rear and Dana 30 up front.. Factory skid plates, etc all intact.
The Renegade came with factory power steering and power brakes. Both work well. Steering is good, but may need some attention.. I've driven it at 55-60 mph on a winding road.. handled like I expected a Jeep to.
Has a loc-rite locker in the front.. I've put it into both 4 hi and 4 lo.. you can definitely feel the locker in the front working. Also comes with a locker for the rear that is used and is supposedly the right one! Factory spider gears for the front end included too.
Electrical, everything works including all lights (every light except the under the hood light works). Has an aftermarket tach that is working, factory gauges work.. fuel gauge is working intermittently, working today! Has a newer stereo with aux/ipod hook up. Under the rear seat is a 12V compressor with appropriate air tool kit. This is activated by a toggle switch on the dash. Nice extra.
Suspension: It appears that maybe it has a longer set of spring shackles on it.. It does sit a little lower on the rear left corner.. I cant see any problem with the leaf spring. I think it is shackle related. Has newer shocks and the rest of the suspension/front end looks very original and un-tampered with.
Interior:
Pics show condition well. Dash is in great shape with no speaker holes cut, looks factory. Steering column looks great. Floors have been treated professionally with a bed-liner material and look great. Front seats are original and the upholstery looks great for a 30+yr old Jeep! Rear seat is from a Samurai, it folds and tumbles to reveal the 12v compressor and tool area. This tool box is completely removable if one wanted to go back to the original seat set up. Original rear seat is not included. Seat belts intact. Rear factory roll bar was professionally modified to cover more area in the rear.. it was then powder coated black. It was also, reinforced from underneath for a stronger mount. Nice locking center console with cup holders. Windows roll up and down. Doors have hairline cracks on both, and have been repaired (see photo, black rubber strip). Tailgate works perfectly and rear cargo lift works well. Ventilation/Heater box was completely cleaned, new heater core installed, cables all working.
Accessories:
This Jeep has all of the best accessories you could think of.. Anything added was done extremely well and it shows.
Believed to be a Dealer installed Warn winch, with vinyl cover !!! Awesome!!
Front loc-rite locker
Edelbrock intake/carb
Aluminum radiator
electronic ignition
Aftermarket aluminum wheels, 31" AT's
Nice Bikini top
Nice soft half doors
Has mounts for (2) 5 gal Jerry cans
Comes with a used rear locker (told it will fit, no guarantee)
Nice lockable center console
Nice sounding stereo with 2 6x9 speakers and 2 5.25" in boxes up front.
Like new pair of Cabella seat covers.
12v air compressor and accompanying air tool bag.
Summary:
As I mentioned.. I have never seen one in better condition that this.. Original paint is a big deal for me.. No bondo hiding rust problems.. Great patina, that shows this Jeep has been cared for and preserved. It is a blast to drive.. It really has gobs of power. Everything added and listed above, was very well thought out and adds to the enjoyment factor of this Jeep. With the monster power, super low range ability, Warn winch and the locker up front, this Jeep is very capable off road. Would compliment any Jeep enthusiasts collection. Amazing survivor.

Fiat Chrysler taps Amazon, Shell execs to fill roles
Fri, Dec 7 2018MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is tapping executives from Amazon and Shell Oil Company with previous automotive industry experience to fill its ranks. CEO Mike Manley said in a letter to employees Thursday that Mark Stewart would join FCA as chief operating officer of North America from Amazon, "a company known for its culture of innovation, and obsession with delivering incredible value to customers." At Amazon, Stewart led teams focused on advanced robotics, artificial intelligence and automation methods. He previously was COO of ZF TRW automotive components supplier. Niel Golightly was named head of global communications. He was most recently Shell's vice president for external relations in North and South America, with a focus on reputation, brand and stakeholder engagement beyond communication strategies. He previously held roles at Ford Motor Company. Related Video: Image Credit: REUTERS/Rebecca Cook Hirings/Firings/Layoffs Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM FCA Amazon shell Mike Manley
Next-gen Jeep Wrangler to pack 300-hp Hurricane turbo four
Mon, May 9 2016Fiat Chrysler has been working for some time now on a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Dubbed "Hurricane," the engine is now said to produce nearly 300 horsepower. And its first application could be in the next-generation Jeep Wrangler. With that much power coming from such a small engine, the Hurricane would offer an even higher level of specific output than the 1.75-liter engine in the Alfa Romeo 4C – one of FCA's highest-stressed engines – far eclipsing the 4C's 120 horsepower per liter with 150 hp/l. By way of comparison, the latest 2.0-liter, four-cylinder version of Ford's EcoBoost engine produces "only" 245 hp (122.5 hp/l). The 2.0-liter turbo four in the latest Mercedes-AMG CLA45 and GLA45, however, produces 375 hp. To get so much out of so little an engine, FCA will utilize a twin-scroll turbocharger and variable valve timing. That could make it ideally suited towards a compact performance model, but according to Automotive News, its first application could be in the new the Wrangler. The larger 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 produces 285 hp, nearly as much as the Hurricane will. But with a smaller engine, an eight-speed transmission, and aluminum construction, the new Jeep will likely benefit from dramatically-improved fuel consumption. Related Video:
Sunday Drive: Rendering the future at Jeep and Ford
Sun, Apr 8 2018Last week brought us quite a wide variety of automotive news nuggets, and judging by the response of our own readership, the Jeep Wrangler pickup truck led the way. It's not expected to hit the sales floor until April of 2019, which means we've all got an entire year to wait, but that just means we have lots of time to anticipate its arrival. And we do so today with a series of renderings that show what the so-called Scrambler may look like in a few different colors. Another set of renderings depicting a hotly anticipated new vehicle follow just behind. The Baby Bronco – will Ford ante up to the retro-inspired table and call it the Bronco II? – will be one size smaller than the regular-grade Bronco, and we think it'll compete with the Jeep Renegade as a subcompact crossover with some real off-road chops. Moving onto some tuners, both old and new(er), we first present a sweet old Dodge Ram pickup truck tuned by none other than Carroll Shelby himself. The blue and silver striped truck looks so period perfect that it stands out as a star even alongside a quartet of vintage Shelby Mustangs with which it will share space at the Bonhams auction in Greenwich, Conn., this June. And finally we turn our attention to the Hennessey Veliciraptor, an absolute behemoth of a truck. Based on the most excellent Ford Raptor, the Velociraptor ups the crazy quotient with six wheels and 600 hundred horsepower. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the latest automotive news.
