1984 Jeep CJ7 Laredo - 126,500 miles

This 3 owner 1984 Jeep CJ7 Laredo is a beautiful classic and original rust free California Jeep that gets a ton of attention everywhere I go.  It spent the last 20 years in the desert of California before I brought it back with me to Colorado.  There is over $20k in aftermarket upgrades (All Upgrades were completed at 100k miles).  The engine is incredible and has so much power that I can easily travel 70mph driving over the mountain passes here in Colorado comfortably.  Not only does it have a great power band with the fuel injected 350v8 and the 700R4 overdrive auto transmission but it's driving characteristics make it a synch driving in town, on the highway and offroading.  When driving 70mph on the highway, the rpm's are only 1800.  The custom Rear Dana 60 Differential can withstand the power of the V8 all day long!  t It is also set up to perfectly to conquer the most difficult terrain possible.  If I kept it, I had planned to drive it to Moab next fall.  There isn't another CJ I have ever owned that was as awesome as this Black Laredo.  It is set up perfectly and turn key.  It is ready to go!  It also has current California smogll  
I would not be afraid to drive this Jeep anywhere.

Engine:
Rebuilt 1990 Chevrolet 350 5.7L V8 with Throttle Body Injection..  The Jeep runs incredible, sounds fantastic and it doesn't matter if it is cold or hot outside it fires right up thanks to it being fuel injected.  It runs great, is super peppy and doesn't leak any fluids.  I recently upgraded the radiator with a new Aluminum unit and relocated the overflow radiator tank closer to it since there is no longer a starter solenoid on the passenger fender.  I also replaced the spark plugs last week.  

Transmission/Transfer Case:
700R4 Automatic Transmission with overdrive is excellent.  It shifts great, without play, grinding, slipping or crunching.  It has a rachet shifter on it that makes shifting super easy.  The transfer case is a Dana 300.  It easily goes into gear high and low range 4wheel drive. 

Drivetrain/suspension:
The Jeep drives excellent with the lift.  The front sway bar has disconnects which is great for off road driving.  Each leaf spring has U bolt skid plates so you will never have to worry about breaking a u bolt.  There aren't any loud clunks or noises, it is very smooth.  The drivetrain is perfectly set up with ARB Air locking differentials, 4.11 gears and chromoly shafts.  The power steering is super sensitive and is very easy to steer.  The power brake booster was replaced in September and although the brakes work good you have to let the jeep warm up or pump them before for best results.  I have driven this 600 miles without a problem.  I think it may need to get the system bled for better operation.

Interior Controls/Switches:
Everything in the interior works great except the factory tach and intermittently the windshield wipers.  There is an aftermarket tach on the steering column that works great.  The sony CD player/radio is in the center console.  There are front dash speakers and rear 6x9s by the roll bar.  The Tuffy console adds security however I do not have the key for it.  The fuel, speedometer, heater odometer, blinkers, horn, lights etc all work as well.  

Paint/Body/Rust:
The paint is the original Black and original Laredo Striping.  The paint is beautiful and very reflective, shiny and lots of luster but still 30 years old and has minor blemishes.  The rear fender flares are a custom fit and from a Jeep Wrangler YJ.  The Jeep is rust free except for some minor surface rust on the windshield frame hinges.  It also has some rock chips on the windshield frame.  The frame is rust free and has never been repaired.  Behind the passenger rear flare there is some cracking, looks like there was a little body work completed at one time but unsure when exactly.  

Interior:
The interior is nice, the front captains chairs are aftermarket black leather.  They are only a couple months old and in excellent condition. There is no rear seat or carpet.  The inside of the tub has been bed lined.  The dash pad does not have any cuts and lastly.

Soft Top/Doors:
The black soft top is in excellent condition and a bestop sun rider.  The doors do not have any rust, the windows roll up and down very easily and the locks work from the inside.  Unfortunately I do not have a key for the doors.  The doors both have a couple deep scratches and misc light scratches, chips and the drivers side has a little defect. The wing windows open and close with ease and the seal tight.  


Additional Photos:
I will try to post a link to photobucket and periodically update the album.  I just tried to add one on this auction but eBay doesn't allow them anymore.
 (I will post photos on my photobucket that are more up close)


Overall:
This is a beautiful Jeep and ready to go and a classic that is turn key and ready to go.  It would make the perfect weekend warrior, beach runner or mountain adventurer.   The CJ7 is used and 30 years old, it may have blemishes, scratches, nicks etc that I didn't capture on my camera.  Overall the condition is beautiful!  I do 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.

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 helped me ship this Jeep back to Colorado from California in February. 

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 multiple cars on ebay 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.

Fiat/PSA's dominance in small vans hangs up EU's merger approval

Mon, Jun 8 2020

BRUSSELS — EU antitrust regulators are concerned about Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot / PSA's combined high market share in small vans and may require concessions to clear their $50 billion merger, people familiar with the matter said. The companies, which are seeking to create the world's fourth biggest carmaker, were told of the European Commission's concerns last week. If Fiat and PSA fail to dispel the European Commission's doubts in the next two days and subsequently decline to offer concessions by Wednesday, the deadline for doing so, the deal would face a four-month-long investigation. The EU competition enforcer, which has set a June 17 deadline for its preliminary review, declined to comment. Fiat was not immediately available for comment while PSA had no immediate comment. Hiving off overlapping businesses, usually a regulatory demand to ensure more competition, could prove tricky for the carmakers because of the technicalities. Fiat and PSA are looking to merge to help offset slowing demand and shoulder the cost of making cleaner vehicles to meet tougher emissions regulations. The deal puts under one roof the Italian carmaker's brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati and the French company's Peugeot, Opel and DS.

CEO Sergio Marchionne curses FCA spokesman for emissions cheating denial

Tue, May 15 2018

WASHINGTON — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reprimanded the company's top U.S. spokesman for issuing press releases about Fiat's vehicle emissions practices days after Volkswagen's disclosure in September 2015 that the German automaker had used illegal software to evade emissions tests, documents released Monday show. Lawyers suing Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in a securities case filed excerpts of an email from Marchionne to Gualberto Ranieri, then the company's U.S. spokesman, in a filing in federal court in New York criticizing him for saying that the company does not use defeat devices. "Are you out of your goddam mind?" Marchionne wrote in an email on Sept. 22, 2015, adding that Ranieri should be fired and calling his actions "utterly stupid and unconscionable." The company said in a statement on Monday it was "understandable that our CEO would have a forceful response to any employee who would opine on such a significant and complex matter, without the matter having been fully reviewed through its appropriate channels." The statement added that Ranieri's comments came just days after VW's emissions issue became public "and before a comprehensive internal review and discussions with component suppliers was possible." Fiat Chrysler was sued in 2015 along with Marchionne and other executives over claims it defrauded shareholders by overstating its ability to comply with vehicle safety laws. An amended version of the complaint filed in 2017 added claims about its compliance with emissions laws. The shareholders accused the defendants of inflating Fiat Chrysler's share price by hundreds of millions of dollars from October 2014 to October 2015 by downplaying safety concerns. They said the shortcomings materialized in 2015 when the automaker was fined $175 million by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and took a roughly $670 million charge for recalls. Plaintiffs filed the excerpts seeking approval to take up to 40 additional depositions, including Marchionne's. The U.S. Justice Department sued Fiat Chrysler in May 2017, accusing it of illegally using software to bypass emission controls in 104,000 diesel vehicles sold since 2014. Fiat Chrysler has held numerous rounds of settlement talks with the Justice Department and California Air Resources Board to settle the civil suit, including talks as recently as earlier this month. It faces a separate criminal probe into the matter.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
