1982 Jeep Cj5 Renegade 304 V8 on 2040-cars
Jeffersonville, Vermont, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1982 jeep CJ5 renegade. This jeep was purchased in 2002 with the majority of the work being redone between 2002 and 2011. It has a fiberglass body, metal fenders and metal hood. The jeep originally came with a 1974 304 V8. The 304 is really peppy and the top end has been redone by a professional mechanic. At the time of purchase, the seller told me the V8 motor had approximately 25, 000 miles. Since that time, I have put on approximately 10,000 highway miles. This jeep has never been off-road in order to save a very impressive paint job, and has been undercoated to protect the underside and frame. The paint is saffhire blue with 3 coats clear. Has headman headers and side exhaust coming out before the rear wheels. All interior gauges work, including the tachometer and clock. Sidelights w/blinkers also work. The gas gauge reads lower than it should, but a new sending unit comes with the jeep if you choose to replace it. The seats are ultra comfortable. No rear seat. The transmission shifts smoothly and the 4 wheel transfer case works great. This jeep comes with a rare T-18 4 speed with the first gear (granny gear) transmission which is super for steep inclines without touching the gas. It just goes and goes at about 2 mph. The jeep comes with practically new 33 x 12.50 x 15 cooper tires with only 3,000 miles. The chrome rims are beginning to see some rust scaling mainly from condensation by sitting in the winter. The vehicle was only driven in the summer and never driven in the snow and never plowed. The top is rated as fair. It does the job but if you want perfection, a new top should be purchased. Jeep also comes with a bikini top which is new. This jeep burns no oil, starts up at the turn of the key, and there are no oil leaks. Brakes are great. The jeep is a real head-turner, with a beautiful paint job, renegade stripes, and deep throat exhaust. Unfortunately, I have no room to store this wonderful jeep, and reluctantly need to sell. This vehicle is also being listed locally, and the auction will be closed if it sells. A deposit of US $1000.00 within 48 hours of auction is required. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer unless the buyer is close enough to pick the vehicle up. I've owned it for 12 years, and it's time to reluctantly let it go. Thanks for looking at this beautiful jeep. |

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Some background: one of the more scandalous international incidents of he-said/he-said from 2012 was when Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld put the Jeep Grand Cherokee through its "moose (or elk) test" and reported that the SUV nearly rolled over. That lead to a whole lot of accusations and rebuttals: more than one website and Chrysler's own blog reported that the Jeep was overloaded; Chrysler said Teknikens printed the magazine then let Chrysler respond, Teknikens answered all of the charges in a lengthy post and said Chrysler was given a chance to comment before it went to print; when Chrysler sent investigators to oversee the test and the Jeep didn't go up on two wheels as it did in the first test, furthermore all four wheels stayed on the ground when Auto Motor und Sport tested a Grand Cherokee in the same way.
Teknikens then re-ran the test with a new vehicle and said it's been doing this test since the 1970s, uses the loading information that Chrysler provides to the Swedish motor authority and the previous Grand Cherokee passed with no problem. In the second test, the Jeep failed again, then it gave Chrysler engineers access to the car's electronics and ran the test again. In that second round the Grand Cherokee didn't repeat the lurid two-wheel action, but in eleven runs it blew out front left tire seven times. Chrysler still objects to the results of all of those tests and maintains that vehicle was safe.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee was given its shot at the gauntlet in the latest round of moose tests, and Teknikens Varld reports that it passed without any problem at all, its stability control working perfectly, controlling motion at low speeds and all the way up to 44.1 miles per hour. You can watch the video of the new test and read the press release from the magazine on the updated Grand Cherokee below.
Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler wants mountains, not a stage
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We've said it before and we'll say it again - while we usually grow tired of the endless barrage of special edition vehicles, that isn't the case with the Jeep Wrangler. Every unique model we encounter seems cooler than the one before it, and this Willys Wheeler Edition is no exception.
The Willys Wheeler package is sort of a throwback to early Jeep CJ models, and wears "Willys" stickers on the hood. There's also a gloss black grille, rock rails to protect the side sills, and unique 17-inch black wheels wrapped in meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires. For proper off-road prowess, this special edition uses a Dana 44 rear axle with a limited-slip differential and a 3.73 final drive ratio.
Look for the Willys edition to hit dealerships early next year, starting at $25,795 for the two-door version and $29,595 for the four-door. Feel free to read all about it in the press release below.
