1985 Jeep CJ-7

125,500 Miles

VIN: 1JCCM87A2FT022294

Overview

You are looking at a 3 owner 1985 CJ-7. This Jeep has been built for reliability, safety and the ability to do some mild trail riding. Lots attention to detail make this Jeep enjoyable both on and off the highway. It is titled, insured and passed emissions inspections up until it was registered as an antique in 2010. It drives and tracks well. Both axles are equipped with Detroit lockers and alloy axle shafts. The power steering is tight and the hydraulically boosted brakes are powerful. The emergency brake system was just serviced and holds well. All the electrical components work including the windshield washers and dash lights. The speedometer works and is accurate. There are lots of extras on this Jeep. See below. The fuel injection and ignition systems are fully programmable and a netbook and software is included for tuning and engine monitoring if you wish to do so. The EFI system uses an Innovate wide band O2 sensor for maximum tuning accuracy. The Jeep was purchased new in Texas and kept as a daily driver for many years. I am the third owner, with the second being a close family member. The Jeep was moved to the East Coast in 2002 and has been garaged or under a carport its entire life.

It has been regularly serviced and has run Mobil One fully synthetic engine oil for most of its life.

The roll cage was fabricated by a well-known fabrication shop, A to Z Fabrication, on the East Coast. It's main strucutre, made from 2" DOM tubing, is triangulated in numerous spots and mounts the suspension seats and five point Crow harnesses. The factory style seat belts were maintained and integrated into the roll cage for convenience. This gives you the option of wearing either the regular seatbelt or the 5 point harness. The seatbelts themselves are brand new.

The Jeep is set up for flat towing and comes with a tow bar.

The Jeep is sporting its original paint with spots of touch up paint in various locations around the vehicle.

Known Issues:

There is minor rust through in two of the four spots where the original rollbar met the body. These areas were not painted at the factory and tend to collect water and rust. It was not visible when the original roll bar was installed in the Jeep. See photos and video.

Otherwise there is no rust through on the body or frame, only minor surface rust in the wheel wells and tub floor where the paint has been worn off. There has been no body work done to this vehicle. All the body panels are original and there is no body filler on this vehicle.

The body has a few minor dents, including the front left fender, the rear right corner and the right rocker panel (not visible under the rocker guard). See photos.

The engine drips a few drops of oil after being run for a long period of time.

There is a very minor gear oil leak at the rear differential cover. It leaks a drop or two after being driven.

The jeep will pop out of second gear on steep down hills. This is most likely a worn syncro, but it doesn't affect normal shifting.

The front most exhaust manifold bolt hole on the head failed many years ago. A bracket was fabricated and installed to replace the bolt.

The heater's air "recirculation" control cable is broken.

The vehicle has no accident history and a clear Carfax history, which is available.

Note that per Virginia law, the license plates will be removed before transfer. The buyer will be responsible for reregistering the vehicle in order to legally operate it on Virginia roads.

Jeep Grand Cherokee redesign delayed

Sat, Jun 27 2015

The launch of the next-gen Jeep Grand Cherokee is being now being pushed back until late 2018 or even into 2019, Jeep CEO Mike Manley indicated Friday, according to Automotive News citing a Reuters report. Under the original five-year plan, the SUV was supposed to be replaced in the third quarter of 2017. That would have made for a big year for Jeep with a refreshed Renegade and new Wrangler also slated for 2017. A delayed Grand Cherokee could send ripples through Jeep's product plans. The three-row Grand Wagoneer is meant to give the brand a vehicle to take on the Land Rover Range Rover, but it's supposed to use the same platform as the Grand Cherokee. This change is rumored to push that important model's launch further back. There's less uncertainty when it comes to the next-gen Wrangler. Manley said that the model was "broadly on track," according to Automotive News. The five-year plan aimed for a launch in the second quarter of 2017. Controversy, however, has swirled over possible plans to move the Wrangler from its longtime Toledo, OH, factory. One problem Jeep doesn't have to worry about right now is sales. According to Automotive News, Manley said volume was up 20 percent globally and could reach 1.2 million by the end of the year. He also indicated the brand was "on pace" to reach its 1.9-million-vehicle goal for 2018. The Grand Cherokee delay comes in the wake of rumors that FCA US is shuffling around its previous five-year vehicle launch plan to postpone several models. Related Video:

Jeep reportedly releasing Peugeot-based, Fiat-built baby 'ute in 2022

Mon, Mar 1 2021

Jeep is now under the same Stellantis-branded roof as Peugeot, among other European carmakers. It will take full advantage of its new ownership to quickly develop and launch an entry-level car, according to a new report. Anonymous sources told industry trade journal Automotive News that the yet-unnamed model will be positioned directly below the Renegade. Rumors of a baby Jeep have popped up time and again in the past few years, and most claimed it would share its underpinnings with the Fiat Panda 4x4, an immensely capable city car that's a regular sight in the Alps. Those plans have allegedly changed; the soft-roader is now being designed around the Common Modular Platform (CMP) that underpins the Peugeot 208 and the Citroen C4, among other models. Using the CMP platform unlocks several benefits. It's much newer than the architecture found under the Panda, it's highly modular, and it was developed with gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and electric powertrains in mind. It sounds like the first Peugeot-based Jeep will come standard with front-wheel-drive, and it will offer an optional four-wheel-drive powertrain consisting of a longitudinally-mounted engine that will spin the front wheels and an electric motor that will put the rear wheels into motion. Odds are the motor will be capable of powering the crossover on its own, too. Most of the powertrain components will come from Peugeot. CMP wasn't designed for hardcore off-roading, so we're expecting more of a shrunken Renegade for the boulevard than a downsized Wrangler for the trail. Fiat will build Jeep's smallest model in Tychy, Poland, in a factory that currently churns out the Fiat 500 and the Lancia Ypsilon. Production is tentatively scheduled to start in 2022, and it's too early to tell if we'll see the crossover in America. Its pocket-sized dimensions might keep it away from our shores. It will certainly increase Jeep sales on the European market, where models that sell relatively well in the United States regularly post dismal sales figures. For example, the Grand Cherokee is a seen as a leviathan of a family hauler and the Wrangler is heavily taxed. Peugeot's CMP platform will allegedly underpin the production version of the Alfa Romeo Tonale concept, too. Pegged below the Stelvio, the crossover was originally developed on the Renegade's bones — some sources claim that's still the case, and Alfa Romeo hasn't shed light on the matter. Reportedly, Fiat will later get a CMP-based car.
