79' cj5 304 v8 3 speed, runs great, motor is strong, from looking at the seals it looks to be recently rebuilt. Transmission is smooth and the clutch works good. I would feel confident driving the jeep anywhere. The Jeep does have a small leak as you can see in the picture... i'm assuming it is the trans fluid since the motor oil is still fine; however I am not a mechanic. All of the fluids were inspected and topped off when I purchased the Jeep. I have put about 150 miles on it since I bought it nearly a year ago. I love the jeep i think its an awesome vehicle and would love to keep it, but with kids and working out of town it's not practical for our family. It has a fiberglass body and fenders, the grill is original, the fiberglass is in great shape, I'm unsure when the jeep was redone, but it looks to be around 10 years old. The paint looks good, but I did take pictures of the worst places on the Jeep. The window surround has a few minor surface rust spots, could use a wax, has a ramsey 8000lb winch, looking at the cable I don't believe it's ever been used, has a really nice storage box under the back seat. I put a remanufactured steering column in about a month ago, new steering wheel, and a new vinyl floor liner. Everything works on the jeep: heat, wipers, radio. Has an holly 4barrell carb with electric choke, new gas tank, gas tank skid plate, gas gauge sending unit, new alternator, and battery. The radiator looks new, Comes with a bikini top, and does not have any doors. If you have any questions about anything you can call me 443-481-9860.

Jeep going bigger with new Grand Wagoneer, smaller with sub-Renegade?
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The headlines are still rolling in for the new Renegade that Jeep unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week, but already reports are surfacing, citing sources within the company, about what Chrysler's iconic off-road brand will do next.
Speaking with Auto Express (whose reports we tend to take with a grain of salt or two), Jeep chief Mike Manley suggested that two courses of action are currently under consideration at Auburn Hills to develop two very different new models - one smaller and one larger than anything Jeep currently makes.
One plan would be to make an SUV or crossover even smaller than the new Renegade, although it isn't immediately clear what platform it would take. The Renegade (pictured above in Trailhawk spec) will be built in Italy alongside Fiat's upcoming 500X, but uses a heavily modified platform. We figure the smaller model, if approved, could base itself on the new Fiat Panda Cross.
Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh
Thu, 28 Feb 2013We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.
