I need to pay off a few credit card debts in order to buy my house and due to cancer last year I had to spend my savings and I hoped to of have had that savings replenished but its been a long and hard year coming back! So now I have to sell one of my trusted and most prized possessions My 1980 Levi's (yes it a Levi's and has the Levis rear seat in it as we speak but I would have it redone BUT I also bought a brand new rear seat as well) Jeep CJ7 with only 84000 original miles, it is not rusted out, has some surface rust here and there, but its easily cleaned off and if your going to finish this restoration then you'll be doing that anyways!
I cannot stress how amazing this jeep is and how much has already been done, how much has been paid in parts that still need to be replaced on it and how much of a great deal you'll be getting.
This Jeep after getting a new paint job will sell for 25- 35 grand. Think about it, original 100% CJ7, not a fiberglass tub or new steel tub, with all brand new parts and a paint job.. Frame off resto's with new tubs (fiberglass and steel) go from 25+ easily but 100% original jeeps go for a lot more and also if I have a 1980 CJ7 that's NOT rusted out at all and runs great, then that tells you how well maintained it was from the day it was bought, and to give you that background.. I am the 2nd owner the original was "Grandma" and she only used it to drive from her house down to her private beach which was on her horse farm a few miles down her property. . . So yeah, its pretty awesome to have found this deal and how excited I was to make this a brand new Jeep and have it as an investment for myself and my son, but again Id rather buy this house and have the down payment and then I will find another one another day. Plus I have a 1965 Scout 80 that I have finished 99% of its resto and will have it to drive but I do have a 1963 Scout 80 that runs fine and has had body work done to it that I am selling as well for 2500 obo. I used parts off of it for my 65 Scout 80 so if you want a Scout let me know. Scout 80"s are called the best investment vehicles by Time Magazine. They are so rare and hard to find these days, plus being the "1st Real All Wheel Drive SUV in America!" that was in Time Magazine, has made them quite sought after. I thought of taking the new 5.0 ford motor I have in my F150 (1995 and I am selling as well) and throwing it in the 63 Scout 80, but again. Health, Time and money has stumped these plans
It has the 6 Cylinder with not a leak on it and with already installed brand new:
Fuel Pump
Fuel Sending Unit
Brand New Master Cylinder
Belt
Alternator
Used Starter I got from eBay
PCV
Rebuilt Carb
Oil Sending Unit
Starter Coil
Ignition Module and more
The frame has new rust free steel and coated and welded on it to make the frame resistant to any chance of future rust and to also make the frame heavier so it will not flip as easily and in advance as well!
New brake lines
I have brand new gas lines for it and have already installed some
Brand New SkyJacker shocks and SkyJacker Steering Stabilizer
Brand new and installed fuel sending Unit
Brand new seat belts all around including a 3 Poitn one for the drivers seat.
And many more brand new and installed items from a deluxe console, brand new bestop seats and more. . . Lord knows I am forgetting so much I have bought and you ill get with this CJ7
Ooh and it has the Disc Brakes in the front.. I just saved you 698.00 in parts alone there!! A disc brake kit for the front on a CJ7 is at the min 598.00 and that's not including the labor!
Plus I literally have bought EVEYTHING YOU WILL NEED TO FINISH THIS RESTORATION... I mean every paycheck I went down the list of what the CJ7 has on it that needs to be replaced or goes bad or I knew would make it a "brand new jeep" from a brand new water pump, oil pump, I have brand new lights and the light accessory's all in chrome, a brand new hardware kit in chrome, all BRAND NEW BODY MOUNTS AND MOTOR MOUNTS and I bought all the good expensive synthetic ones, brand new water proof stereo, a complete rebuild gasket filter kit (Fel Pro with everything in the box aka rear main seals , oil pan, valve cover, but any gasket or filter I have brand new replacements for) since I was going to pop the motor out and do a complete overhaul. And I have a brand new in the box hydraulic engine hoist I'll add for 400. A brand new back seat, a brand new double back bumper, bought from Smity-Built plus its has the longer and wider with the chain hook installed and the frame was welded and made to be able to correctly accommodate a winch and is very rare and sought after original winch bumper kit already installed from the factory (no winch though), it has the rare Acme hard top and doors, along with brand new bestop top (the one for just the roof not the whole jeep) brand new bestop half doors, brand new mirrors and more. I have kept every receipt and all the parts unused are still in their brand new packaging. I am not listing everything I have bought for it but I can say with confidence you're getting such a great deal.
I stress I do not want to sell this jeep and I will not tolerate tire kickers and people trying to lowball me for seeing some rust or the Jeep needs to be towed for I don't think it'll be a good idea to drive it until you have the brakes bleed. I started too, but I am too busy to get this all done. It'll start up with ease and you can of course hear it run, but I personally would just have it towed!
Now for all the future questions. . . Yes I do accept trades.. You trade me your money for my CJ7 or you have a trade that I can quickly sell o acquire the same funds I am selling it for, so I can pay m debts off and buy my house.
I will not reply to "What's the lowest you'll go down on it?" If you're serious come and look at it, look at the brand new parts you're getting and throw me an offer.
Again, I only want serious people with a return email and after I know you're not a scam I will trade phone numbers and times.
If I can get the loan I want I WILL NOT SELL THIS JEEP, and I am hoping I do so that I do not have to sell this Jeep so also, get this Jeep before that loan happens or it'll be gone until my son is 26 and he's 9 now! (I will have a lien on it on purpose lol that way he cannot sell it too early) and I am serious about that! If I am going to go ahead and have the body repainted and have it completely done body wise to make it look amazing then its staying in the family. I am asking BEST OFFER but please dont think you are going to get this for free and if you know your jeeps you know that all youd need to do is literally get a paint job, install the additional items and thats it!
The Jeep is also listed via eBay and if it sells there first, then I am sorry. . . But its spring, almost summer and these jeeps go like hotcakes this time of year!
I truly don't want to lose this Jeep, but I have to pay these bills! And I know I a forgetting a lot of brand new parts i have bought, but thatll only make your purchase even more sweet!

Junkyard Gem: 1983 Jeep DJ-5L Mail Dispatcher
Wed, Jul 26 2017When it comes to putting mail in boxes, a simple and reliable vehicle works best. Say, a zero-frills steel box on wheels, with right-hand-drive, a fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine, no-hassle automatic transmission, sliding doors, and a big mail-sorting table instead of a passenger seat. That's what the AM General Mail Dispatcher DJ-5 was all about, and these bouncy little trucks were everywhere for decades. Here's a late-production example, still in USPS colors, spotted in a Denver-area self-service wrecking yard. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stayed this courier from the swift completion of its appointed rounds. Note the "Sonic Eagle" USPS logos on the doors; this became the official USPS logo in 1993, nearly a decade after the final Jeep DJ-5s were built. Plenty of these trucks stayed in service into our current century, and a few are still being used by private mail-delivery contractors in rural areas. During the American Motors era of Jeep DJ production (1970 through 1984), a bewildering assortment of engines went into postal Jeeps. This is a 2.5-liter GM Iron Duke four-cylinder; before that, DJ-5s came with Audi power (more or less the same engine used in the Porsche 924, in fact), AMC straight-sixes, and Chevy Nova four-cylinders. The 1984 DJ-5Ms ran the AMC 2.5-liter four-cylinder. The earliest DJs were equipped with three-speed manual transmissions, but the American Motors-built postal-delivery versions all had automatic transmissions. This one has a three-speed Chrysler Torqueflite A904, a weird engine/transmission combination that should help you stump your friends during car-trivia debates. Check out the ultra-bare-bones heater/ventilation controls! These trucks were badged as AM Generals, not Jeeps (I couldn't find a single Jeep label anywhere on this one), just like the original HMMWV. However, you'd have to be a real hair-splitter to refer to this as an AM General DJ-5 instead of just Mail Jeep or Jeep DJ-5. Next time you complain about your subcompact rental car lacking driver-comfort features, consider this vehicle. I had a few high-school friends who owned DJ-5s, back in the early 1980s when they were available for a couple hundred bucks at government-surplus auctions. The first thing civilian DJ-5 owners always did was tear out the mail-sorting table and replace it with a random junkyard bucket seat (or an aluminum lawn chair). These trucks were very noisy, very bouncy, and very slow, but they always ran.
2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition
Wed, 11 Dec 2013There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for the Jeep Wrangler. The last one I owned was red, and, as a 1990 model, had the square headlights derided by Jeep enthusiasts who grew up on the Civilian Jeeps that descended from their General Purpose military ancestors. As a teenager, I couldn't have cared less what shape its headlights happened to be - to me, a Jeep Wrangler represented freedom; a carefree do-it-all machine equally at home with the top stowed away in the summer or with the heater on full blast in the snowy clutches of Old Man Winter. In Dr. Seuss parlance, my square-headlighted Sneetch was just as worthy as any round-headlighted Sneetch.
All that said, I'll be the first person to advise against buying a Jeep Wrangler of any sort for owners who don't plan to use it as its makers intend. There's no good reason to punish yourself with a stiff and springy ride, a loud and somewhat drafty (though generally water-resistant) interior or the poor fuel economy expected of a block-shaped vehicle if you don't enjoy its other, more exciting benefits.
Of course, Jeep has done its darndest over the years to make the Wrangler as civilized as possible while keeping it as capable as federal law will allow. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab edition is one of Jeep's latest attempts to attract attention from the upper reaches of the active lifestyle set, and I spent a week with one to see what makes the Moab special.
This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome
Fri, Dec 5 2014The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.
