Sterling, Virginia, United States

I've had this 1978 jeep CJ7 for a few years and have enjoyed every minute of it! But, with new babies, it's time for a change.  Title in hand and ready to go.  It has the original 304 Automatic v8 Engine.  Runs strong!! See Video below! Turns heads wherever I go....especially car shows.  I haven't taken the jeep off roading, but as you can see it's very capable. Also has the very rare Quadra-Trac wheel locking system that only some cj-7s came with, and was a very desirable option to have!

Lots of things have been upgraded on the jeep as you can see.

Has ALWAYS been garaged!

- V8 304 Engine
- Rare Automatic Transmission
- Rare Quadra-Trac system!!!
- Fuel injection system put in!!!
- Brand new battery!
- Brand New Fuel pump!
- Fresh paint
- Custom color-match role cage!
- Nice suspension lift (~6 inches), body lift (~2 inches).
- 35" tires. (35x12.50) I'd say they have about 85% left.
- Beadlock wheels.  Micky Thompson!
- Custom Swing Tire Mount
- Brand new Bestop Soft-top
- Brand new Soft doors and soft windows
- Original 304 engine.  Runs strong! straight pipe as I don't need to have emissions or inspections for an antique car in virginia, It sounds amazing! (See video!)  Not sure how many miles as the speedometer gauge does not work. Should be a quick fix.
- Brand new seats (Bestop)
- Brand new Bluetooth stereo system along with very loud speakers.
- I bought this from California. so, very little rust. There's a small rust area near the jeep logo as seen in the picture.  very small rust underneath the windshield.
- Carpet looks nice and clean.  Car is as-is of course.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.

Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new

Sun, 09 Jun 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
