1986 Jeep CJ7, 292 I-6, 5-speed, 44k-miles, original

1JCCF87E3GT0291071986

 

This is a rust-free, honest, and very original Jeep CJ7.  I bought this in November 2009 from a seller in Arizona.  I am the third owner – the first owner had it from 1986 to 2009 in Belmont, California, and the second owner had it from June 2009 to November 2009 in Tucson, Arizona.  I have some service records from the original owner and the second owner to prove the low mileage.

 

It’s a base model CJ7, but it’s got a lot of options:

·        Original factory AMC radio (still works)

·        Original factory AC (still works!)

·        Power steering

·        Power brakes

·        Tilt steering wheel

·        Factory 20 gallon optional fuel tank

·        Original paint

·        Original interior

 

I bought it as a neighborhood runaround toy – it’s never left the city in my possession.  I’ve never off-roaded it; it’s never been mudding.  Since I bought it, I have replaced all the fluids, installed new shocks, replaced the plastic valve cover with the metal version (still have the plastic one), just bought new BFGs, and installed the full-length bikini top.

 

In the three years I’ve owned it, it’s been amazingly reliable.  It always starts; it idles well, it doesn’t leak, the AC works, it drives/stops straight, and the steering is as tight as CJ can be.  I’ve never had to do anything to it because it’s never needed a thing.  I own a few old classics, and this one has been the easiest thing I’ve ever owned.

 

The biggest issue with this Jeep is cosmetic – the original owner apparently “laid it over” at some point.  If you look through the pictures, you can see the damage to the front fender, near the windshield mount, the doorway, and on the body at the left rear.  The CJ was not repainted to repair the damage – you can still see it as I got it.

 

This CJ does not have doors or a hardtop (I never had either). 

 

The title is clear and in my name.  I’m selling because I have a four-car garage and six cars.  Something has to go – besides, my boys are getting older and we just don’t use this CJ for weekends like we used to.  I am of the camp that if you don’t drive it, you ought to sell it.  It’s located in a hangar on the west side of Houston.

 

It's got a reasonable reserve and I won't sell outside of the auction - I'd rather let it ride.

MotorWeek reviews '83 American Motors lineup

Wed, Mar 18 2015

The 30th anniversary of American Motors' 1987 sale to Chrysler by Renault is just a few years away. AMC is long dead, but for its latest peek in the archives, MotorWeek winds back the clock to somewhat happier times. Take a look at the entire AMC lineup from 1983, including its models from Jeep and Renault. The Jeeps, and to a lesser extent, the AMC Eagle, enjoy a cult following today, but it's amazing how many of these other vehicles are now practically forgotten. Even the big debut in '83 of the Renault Alliance is largely ignored. Although with a ludicrous amount of body roll and a 55-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, it's probably rightly buried.

Stellantis won't race to split electric vehicles from fossil fuel cars

Fri, May 6 2022

MILAN - Stellantis is not considering splitting its electric vehicle (EV) business from its legacy combustion engine operation, its finance chief said on Thursday, as the carmaker presented above-expectation revenue data for the first quarter. Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer told analysts he did not see huge benefits in the kind of separations pursued by rivals such as France's Renault and U.S. Ford. "We need to manage the company and the assets we have through this transition," he said. "There are benefits to having the cash flow being generated by the internal combustion business for the investments we need to make." Palmer said the group, formed by a merger last year of Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot maker PSA, was not averse to considering adjusting its structure "but we aren't anticipating any big changes." Palmer's comments came after the world's fourth largest carmaker said its net revenue rose 12% to 41.5 billion euros ($44.1 billion) in the January-March period, as strong pricing and the type of vehicles sold helped offset the impact of the semiconductor shortage on volumes. That topped analyst expectations of 36.9 billion euros, according to a Reuters poll. Milan-listed shares were up 0.5% by 1415 GMT, in line with Italy's blue-chip index. The impact of the chip crunch was evident in the decline in shipment figures which fell 12% in the quarter to 1.374 million vehicles. It was a similar story for Germany's BMW which posted higher revenues on Thursday and a decline in car sales. Riding the Recovery Stellantis, whose brands also include Citroen, Jeep and Maserati, confirmed its 2022 forecasts for a double-digit adjusted operating income margin, after 11.8% last year, and a positive cash-flow despite supply and inflationary headwinds. Morgan Stanley analysts said after the results that Stellantis had better management than many peers and benefited from its significant exposure to a stronger U.S. economy and a European recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. They also said it was less affected by a slowing Chinese economy. Palmer said it was important for the group to maintain double-digit margins and keep delivering positive cash flows. "A 12% increase in revenue with a 12% decrease in volumes indicates a very strong performance on price and mix, which augurs well for our margin performance," he said. He said semiconductor supply problems were expected to ease this year with continued improvements in 2023.

Jeep going bigger with new Grand Wagoneer, smaller with sub-Renegade?

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

The headlines are still rolling in for the new Renegade that Jeep unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week, but already reports are surfacing, citing sources within the company, about what Chrysler's iconic off-road brand will do next.
Speaking with Auto Express (whose reports we tend to take with a grain of salt or two), Jeep chief Mike Manley suggested that two courses of action are currently under consideration at Auburn Hills to develop two very different new models - one smaller and one larger than anything Jeep currently makes.
One plan would be to make an SUV or crossover even smaller than the new Renegade, although it isn't immediately clear what platform it would take. The Renegade (pictured above in Trailhawk spec) will be built in Italy alongside Fiat's upcoming 500X, but uses a heavily modified platform. We figure the smaller model, if approved, could base itself on the new Fiat Panda Cross.
