NO RESERVE
For sale ONLY on eBay - Highest bidder wins! This is my wife's toy. She has a clear title in hand. This is the 8th Jeep we have owned and the coolest of them all. My wife wanted a toy that looked good, sounded good, is fun to drive and that she could drop the top and take to the local cruise in. She has owned this Jeep going on three years and due to health issues she does not get to enjoy it enough to keep it. The Jeep is always garage kept and gets a lot of attention everywhere it goes. This Jeep started it's life as a 1979 CJ5 Renegade. A few years back the owner before us did a complete frame off restoration lifted the Jeep and professionally added a new 350 Chevy V8 with a TH350 automatic transmission, B & M shifter with reverse lock out and a Ford 9 inch rear end. This included advance adapters and a full Painless wiring harness. Current mileage showing on the odometer since new motor and complete rebuild is 20,927 as of today. This could change slightly as I try to drive it a few miles every weekend. Since we have owned it we replaced the steering wheel, fully updated the windshield wiper system, added leather front race seats and the rock slider rails to the sides as steps. We also last year completely updated the fuel system from the tank to the carburator with new sending unit, hoses, filter, electric pump, pressure regulator and dash mounted electric switch for the pump. We upgraded and added new oil pressure, water temperature and volt meter gauges to the dash and added a steering mounted tachometer. The Jeep received a complete tune up in December with plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, etc. Just last week it got an engine oil change and filter, a new transmission filter and fluid and the front differential fluid was changed. The Jeep starts right up and drives and shifts as it should. It has manual lock out hubs on the front axle and the four wheel drive system works as it should in both high and low range. Everything works on the Jeep and it just passed North Carolina inspection last month with no problems. Three things to mention are the horn does work but only if the steering wheel is turned slightly left or right. The cam button needs to be replaced in the steering column. These can usually be purchased around $10.00. The factory fuel gauge does also work but it not 100% accurate. It reads full when filled up but gets to empty before all the fuel is used up. I thought the new sending unit would correct that but it did not. It has a 15 gallon tank and usually only takes 8 to 10 gallons when showing empty. The four wheel drive indicator light is not hooked. You simply shift into four wheel low or high by feel and know when you are in four wheel drive. The tires have less than 2000 miles on them with plenty of tread left. They are Mickey Thompson 33 x 12.50. This Jeep is LOUD with the headers and side pipes! Warn 9000 Lb Winch w/ hand held remote that easily reaches to the drivers seat. Full custom welded roll bar. Power Steering / Power Brakes / Tilt steering The full top and soft doors are in very good condition and it also comes with a bikini top. The paint really shines. There is a small ding on top of both front fenders and one on the hood. There are a couple of paint chips on the drivers side entry that are covered when the soft doors are on. I had a leak around the transmission pan gasket and purchased a new cast aluminum extra capacity pan. Unfortunately it would not clear the front drive shaft. I changed the fluid and filter and added a new gasket but still have a very slight leak on the drivers side front corner. I just torqued the bolts slightly more and hope this resolves the issue but fell a new pan is needed. I'll let the pictures speak for the rest. You are welcome to come and drive and inspect the Jeep before bidding. Please feel free to ask any questions. I will respond promptly and post all answers here for everyone to see. Happy Bidding |

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.

Jeep Renegade signed by the Rolling Stones brings in $46k for charity
Thu, Jan 1 2015What do Jeep and the Rolling Stones have in common? Well, they've both have been around for longer than most of us, they seem just about indestructible, and not long after one shipped out from America to help save Britain, the other lead the British Invasion of America. But the two enduring icons also came together this past summer as one sponsored the other's European tour. And while they were in Rome, Jeep had the members of the legendary rock group sign a new Renegade that just went up for auction. Bearing the signatures of the immortal Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts, this star-studded, pint-sized off-roader – the first Jeep to be built in Italy – sold for an impressive $46,000 to an anonymous bidder. That's about two-and-a-half times what the new pebble-crawler is expected to sell for when it reaches showrooms. Proceeds from the sale, handled by Charitybuzz.com, will benefit Community Links, a social-inclusion organization based in London. View 56 Photos
