1979 Jeep CJ7 Golden Eagle - 1 Owner!

This rare morocco buff colored original owner classic CJ7 Golden Eagle spent the majority of its life in Las Vegas, Nevada and Western Colorado which are both dry climates.  The Jeep was recently given up by the original owner due to a foot injury making it difficult to drive a manual.  I had the fuel drained and had it serviced last week adjusting the timing, carburetor, fresh oil change and spark plugs.  It is running great now and drives very nice.  I drove it to the mountains today to take photos with the hardtop on and it drove comfortably.  This would make the perfect summer cruiser, weekend warrior or addition to your collection.


Engine:
258 4.2L 6cylinder motor was rebuilt @ 100k miles. It runs great, starts right up (has a manual choke and needs a cable for it) and I do not notice any leaks on the pavement after driving it.  The Jeep is has power upgrades including a 4 barrel Edlebrock carburetor, Clifford manifold, headers and dual exhaust.  The cherry bomb mufflers give it a v8 sound.  There is not a catalytic converter or smog equipment on the motor.

Transmission/Transfer Case:
3spd T150 Manual Transmission that shifts great, whines a little and the clutch is very tight, responsive and does not slip.  The Dana 20 transfer case shifts easily in and out of 4x4.  4x4 works great both in low and high ranges.

Drivetrain/suspension:
The Jeep drives smooth and has an upgraded suspension with Rancho shocks and leaf springs.  The front leaf springs appear to be sagging a bit and could use replacement to match up the rear ride height.  The Jeep is a non power steering unit and if I were to keep it I'd recommend adding power steering for easier driving.

Interior Controls/Switches:
Everything in the interior works except the factory tachometer and the windshield wipers are intermittent.  The radio works but needs a center dash speaker to have sound.

Paint/Body:
The paint is a rare golden eagle color Morocco Buff with Golden Eagle Striping decals.  It is original paint that looks great and super reflective, shows a lot of luster and is shiny.  The rear drivers quarter was repaired at one point, the owner said the jeep was bumped in a parking lot and was professionally repaired.  There is a small section on the drivers rear quarter where the paint is starting to flake off near the front of the flare (view photo).  The front clip and fenders have sand chips.  The hood on the inside has been painted black texture and on the exterior there are a few small ding dents.   There are misc nicks, marks and blemishes to be expected for a 35 yr old Jeep.  One of the rear tire carrier mounts broke off at one point and a support bar was added on back to strengthen the tire carrier.  I just had a new front glass windshield replaced.

Interior:
The interior really nice, the front black aftermarket seats are new and very comfy.  The interior floor has a smooth texture liner on and it appears to be in good shape with some minor flaking in couple spots.  There is a little surface rust on the passenger floor but not thru.  The Jeep is pretty close to rust free except the spot on the passenger door cut out and under the dash pad by the grab handle bar (view photos).

Hardtop and Full Doors:
The original hardtop is in excellent shape.  A polish can be used to bring out the color of the hardtop and it appears the hardtop was repainted at one point.  The rear tailgate on the hardtop has some dents, blemishes (view photos).  The full hard doors are in great shape without any rust.  The windows roll up and down easily (passenger side doesn't quite reach the top, stops about 1/3" from top.  The passenger door has a dent where the vinyl is and both vinyl material on each door have scratches. The passenger side doesn't quite match the repainted hardtop.

Tires/Wheels:
Original 15x8 Gold Golden Eagle wheels with a black stripe.  The wheels are in good shape with some chips and blemishes but still look sharp and original.  The tires were purchased new in 1994 and need to be replaced.  Although I have driven a couple hundred miles on these tires and the tread is 75%, I would highly suggest replacing them as they are dry rotting.  The tire size is 31x10.50x15". 

Rust/Undercarriage:
The only significant rust is on the passenger side by the door cut out (view photos), passenger front fender and passenger front floor have minor surface rust.  The Jeep is very clean and the undercarriage appears discolored and has surface rust but no significant rust issues. 

Overall:
This Golden Eagle will make a great daily driver, weekend warrior, summer adventurer or an addition to your collection.  The CJ7 is used and 35 years old, so it may have blemishes I didn't capture on my camera or may have missed in my description.  I did my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep.  The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees.  I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado.  Included are a clean Colorado Title and bill of sale.

Shipping:
If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643.  Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery.  He has helped me on a couple cars I have bought as well as sold and shipped.

Conclusion:
A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal.  All sales are final.  The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time.  Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer.  I have sold a few cars on eBay in the past and can provide references if necessary.  I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this Jeep is listed for sale locally as well.

If you have any questions, want to know anything specific or simply make an offer.  Feel free to calling or texting me anytime #720-295-3372

Ram 1500 diesel overlander, off-road Jeep Wrangler show present and future of Mopar

Wed, Oct 30 2019

Ram and Jeep both have some heavily customized off-roaders for SEMA this year. The Ram is a 2020 1500 Rebel with the diesel engine and an overlanding theme, and the Jeep is a 2020 Wrangler Unlimited with a general off-road theme. Each features loads of Mopar accessories, and, in the case of the Ram, accessories from other companies. They both have a few parts that haven't made it to market yet. 2020 Ram 1500 Rebel View 16 Photos 2020 Ram 1500 Rebel OTG The Ram 1500 has the suffix of OTG, which stands for off-the-grid. It's designed to be an overlanding vehicle perfect for getting you far away from civilization and still have your needs taken care of. As such, the new EcoDiesel with its strong fuel economy and large amounts of torque is a good engine choice, and the Rebel has plenty of rugged style to begin with. That style is augmented by some special concept Mopar parts such as a high-flow grille complete with flow-through Ram block letters, a la the Chevy "Flow Tie," and steel bumper with a retro-fitted Power Wagon winch. Another concept part is the intake snorkel. Dodge also dug into the existing catalog of Ram parts and added the base Tradesman's vinyl flooring for easy interior cleaning, as well as the Tradesman's rear bumper that doesn't have cut-outs for exhaust. The exhaust was then tucked away behind the bumper, giving the truck a better departure angle. Many ready-to-purchase accessories have been added to the Ram 1500 OTG, too. From the Mopar catalog comes off-road lights, rock rails, wheels and bolt-on fender flares. The utility rack, basket and tent all came from Yakima. A roof-mounted solar array along with sliding cooking areas and bed-mounted cooler all come from Dometic. A representative from Dodge also showed how the split tailgate can be used as an easily accesible place to have fold out cooking or table space. 2020-jeep-wrangler-mopar-accessories-01 View 4 Photos 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited While the Ram has parts from all around the aftermarket world, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has been outfitted entirely with Mopar parts. And most of those parts are already available, with two exceptions. On one side of the truck, Jeep is showing off some concept mesh covers for its tube-doors. The idea behind them is that they still allow for plenty of air flow, but help keep shrubbery, mud clods and other things from getting in. They're also simple to install or remove, since the slide on and zip up.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?
