This auction is for a 1986 CJ7.  Vehicle was stripped down to frame.  Frame was sanded, cleaned, and painted with UV resistant restoration chassis paint.  The original CJ body had some rust issues indicative of it's age so the body was replaced with a new fiberglass tub with steel reinforcement plates embedded in the firewall, located at all critical points. The floor board mounting and seats point are also embedded and double reinforced with wood.  Wiring was all professionally done top notch with self grounded circuits so each circuit does not have to be run back to a single grounding bar.  Dash knobs and idiot lights all work and are new.  Everything has new oils and lubes.  I don't know how many miles are on the motor or if and when it was rebuilt but it was recently upgraded to a Eldebrock 4 barrel carburetor, the distributor rebuilt and tuned up by Tommy King, a well respected Houston area tuner. It really runs strong and sounds fantastic. If you have any questions or want additional pictures please feel free to contact me.

Some of the renovation included the following:

  • Fiberglass tub from 4wd hardware, herculined interior, enamel black paint sealed underside and firewall
  • Wrangler doors
  • Wrangler family bar and seat belts
  • 304 V8 with Eldebrock Performer intake and brand new Eldebrock 4 barrel carburetor
  • Manual 5 Spd
  • Heat works
  • New lockable console
  • New wiring harness and fuse block from Kwik Wire. Grounded loom option.
  • New Rugged Ridge black denim weather resistant "wipe off" seats (w/recline) 
  • New fuel pump and lines
  • New brakes, pads, lines, calipers, rotors, cylinders, new e-brake linkages all recently service by local brake shop
  • New u joints
  • New 33 x 12.5 Khumos
  • New steering linkage and tie rod ends
  • New windshield
  • New Superwinch hubs
  • New paint (New Chrysler Orange Crush color on new Jeeps and Dodges)
  • New Bikini top
  • Fresh Tune up from respected Houston mechanic, Tommy King.

Note: the color is a rich orange as shown the pictures from a distance. The pictures of the engine and interior show the exterior color looking washed out. I think this is because my camera was focused on the darker color for those shots in the sun.

Jeep gunning for 1M sales this year

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Jeep CEO Mike Manley would rather soft-pedal the seven-figure prognostication for now, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne won't have it, proclaiming in an interview that Jeep will sell one million units worldwide this year. Manley has called that come-hither number "a stretch," the history of recent gains perhaps reason for his caution: in 2011 the brand sold 568,317 units, followed by the record-breaking tally of 701,626, then another record in 2013 with 731,565 units moved.
That kind of gap means everything will need to go magically for Jeep to record a 37-percent increase this year - amazing Cherokee sales, a brilliant launch for the little Jeep arriving in Europe later this year and a heavy wave to raise sales in US, European and Chinese markets. Manley is confident about the prospects in 2015, though, with the Cherokee in full stride, the Fiat-based Jeep on its way to the US and expanded global production. It's not as though Marchionne's prediction for Jeep's 2014 sales is unexpected, since he first made it last year. But even if the number ends up a little short for 2014, there's no doubt it will be impressive.

Stellantis not looking for further mergers, including with Renault

Mon, Feb 5 2024

MILAN — Stellantis Chairman John Elkann on Monday denied the carmaker was hatching merger plans, responding to press speculation about a possible French-led tie-up with rival Renault. Elkann said that the Peugeot owner, the world's third largest carmaker by sales, was focused on the execution of its long-term business plan. "There is no plan under consideration regarding merger operations with other manufacturers," said Elkann, who also heads Exor, the Agnelli family holding company that is the largest single shareholder in Stellantis. After abandoning the Russian market, at the time its second largest after France, and reducing the scope of its global cooperation with Nissan, Renault has been seen as a potential M&A target. Speculation intensified after an electric vehicle market slowdown forced it last week to cancel IPO plans for its EV and software unit Ampere. Its market cap remains stubbornly low at little over 10 billion euros ($10.8 billion) despite a financial recovery over the past few years. Stellantis, the product of a 2021 merger between France's PSA and Fiat Chrysler and one of the most profitable groups in the industry, has a market cap of more than 85 billion euros when unlisted shares are factored in. It has a 14 brand portfolio also including Citroen, Jeep, Opel and Alfa Romeo. NEWSPAPER REPORT Italian daily Il Messaggero had said on Sunday that the French government, which is Renault's largest shareholder and also has a stake in Stellantis, was studying plans for a merger between the two groups. A spokeswoman for Renault said on Monday the group did not comment on rumors. France's Finance Ministry had declined to comment on Sunday. Stellantis has crossed swords with the Italian government, which has accused it of acting against the national interest on occasions. Industry Minister Adolfo Urso last week raised the prospect of the Italian government taking a stake in Stellantis to help to balance the French influence. Renault shares pared gains after Elkann's comments to stand 1.2% higher by 1220 GMT, having initially risen more than 4%. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, a Portuguese-national, last week said in an interview with Bloomberg that the group was "ready for any kind of consolidation" and that its job was to make sure that it would be "one of the winners". Analysts, however, question the rationale of a Stellantis-Renault merger, which would also expand the group's excess capacity in Europe.
