1980 Jeep Laredo Cj-7 Rust Free California on 2040-cars

Year:1980 Mileage:36425
Location:

Rust free California 1980 CJ7 Laredo. 4.2 original six cylinder motor.

Runs good, 4-speed transmission shifts smooth, has power brakes, power steering, 4-speed manual.

 

Here’s the skinny on this Jeep. I just purchased it from a dealer in southern California without inspecting it in person and had it shipped to my home in Beaverton Oregon. I took a chance it was a 36k original miles as advertised, original paint, 9 out of 10 Jeep. After it arrived by shipper I could tell it was not. Don’t get me wrong it is very nice and rust free, but has been repainted at some point and most likely 136k miles. More like a 7. I’m kind of into perfection and took a chance. It drives good, shifts smooth and stops good with no problems. The seats are perfect front and back with no tears. Goes into 4WD with no problems. No I did  not take it out in the mud however. It looks like it has never been in an accident which is also very rare for a Jeep this old and body is dent free. But the hard top does have some scratches and the sun roof needs some attention to the weather stripping. It has been repainted and looks nice, just not the patina of original paint I’m after.

 

There you have it. Come out and check it out. I am being completely honest about the condition. That is more than you will find at most dealers. I just filled it with gas and it is tucked away dry in my garage until purchased. I have it for sale locally also so may have to pull listing early FYI.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.

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.

Jeep gives Cherokee its yin and yang with Sageland and Urbane concepts

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

Among the design concepts Jeep has prepared for Beijing Motor Show this year are a pair of Cherokees dressed up in contrasting schemes.
In one corner we have the Sageland concept pictured above, drawing its inspiration from Shangri-La with an Ivory Peal tri-coat and bronze trim for the grille, fascia appliqués, roof rack, sunroof, mirror caps and exhaust tips. Inside it's all earth tones with light gray Nappa leather seats and red and blue top-stitching inspired by traditional Chinese themes.
Meanwhile the Urbane concept (pictured right) takes the Cherokee in a different direction with steel blue metallic paintjob and black accents. Inside it adopts the theme of Chinese calligraphy with Piano Black accepts and dark red Nappa leather.
