I looked for years for one in this condition.. Original body and paint and as rust free as they come!! If that isn't enough, this one is set up exactly how I want. I came across this recently and bought it.. I spread myself thin financially doing it, so either this needs to go or my convertible "8701" model Jeepster.. If I dont sell this, I will likely list the Jeepster.. This is one amazing find. Pictures show condition well. It has always been garage kept. Everything that has ever been done to this Jeep has been a methodical sequence of events.. It is obvious when you familiarize yourself a little bit with this Jeep, the two previous owners were very caring owners.I expect questions from serious buyers and I am available to do a "walk around" over the phone for those buyers.. I also encourage you to come out and see it for yourself, I'm willing to pick you up from the airport to help accommodate you. I'm a classic car enthusiast, have owned several neat cars, and have sold a handful of them on Ebay.. The last one I sold was in 2011, it was an original paint 72 Datsun 240z.. Every buyer has been happy with the car they have received. I know where and what to look for when considering a classic car. We all know rust (lack of!) and originality are the key components that dictate value in any classic. I hope you find my description and pictures supportive of a classic car enthusiast.. I truly try to show the areas that I would want to see. Onto the some details of this amazing vehicle.
Body, Paint and Rust Condtion:
Personally, I have never seen one in this condition before.. All original steel body, with no paint work ever. It has always been garage kept. The body is incredibly straight. Study the pics closely, ask for specific pics. The rear corners, tailgate, fender, tub (floor pan) are all superb. The paint still has luster. It has its share of tiny rock chips mostly on the forward areas of the front fenders and grill. The decals are factory, and in good shape considering their age. As far as rust.. Its much easier to show you in the pictures... the lack of rust. I believe the best way to familiarize yourself and really learn what you have is to detail clean the entire vehicle.. After all, dirt is often where rust starts, and hides it from the eye. I've spent some time cleaning and waxing this Jeep.. I will admit, it was very exciting for me to discover how exceptionally clean this CJ7 is! The lift gate of the hard top has a 3-4" hole (see pic) There is one spot shown on the back left corner that is very minor. It localized and the metal around it is solid, has not affected the body mount area below. There is some slight rust beginning under the horn mount on the front left fender, you can email me for a pic of that if you want. I have tried to get good shots of the floors from both sides, they are amazing. A very common spot for rust is the lower back sides of the front fenders, I've included pictures of those areas too.. Again, study the pictures.. Call or email me for any specific shots you may desire.. I have no problem taking pics from my iphone and texting them or emailing them to you.. Just ask.
Mechanical, Drivetrain etc:
This Jeep has been set up perfectly.. in my opinion. To be totally honest.. Its a monster. When you jump on the gas.. be ready.. this thing is like a muscle car. Here are some of the upgrades.
360 AMC V-8 smooth, quiet seasoned motor. Very responsive, very powerful. On occasion, you may see one light puff of smoke at start up.. Does not continue to smoke. Nothing to be worried about at all here.. It has a newer Edelbrock intake and carb setup.. It doesn't miss a beat.. Has all the power and more I would expect from such a motor. It has dual exhaust with glass packs.. When your on the gas.. you know it.. and everyone else does too! Its a little loud for me. Im 100% confident in this motor..
T-18 Ford 4 speed transmission with granny low 1st gear, and low reverse. Works perfectly in all gears, no noises or issues. Clutch engages without any chatter, slippage or issues.
I believe the transfer case, and axles to be original. Quite certain its a Dana 44 in the rear and Dana 30 up front.. Factory skid plates, etc all intact.
The Renegade came with factory power steering and power brakes. Both work well. Steering is good, but may need some attention.. I've driven it at 55-60 mph on a winding road.. handled like I expected a Jeep to.
Has a loc-rite locker in the front.. I've put it into both 4 hi and 4 lo.. you can definitely feel the locker in the front working. Also comes with a locker for the rear that is used and is supposedly the right one! Factory spider gears for the front end included too.
Electrical, everything works including all lights (every light except the under the hood light works). Has an aftermarket tach that is working, factory gauges work.. fuel gauge is working intermittently, working today! Has a newer stereo with aux/ipod hook up. Under the rear seat is a 12V compressor with appropriate air tool kit. This is activated by a toggle switch on the dash. Nice extra.
Suspension: It appears that maybe it has a longer set of spring shackles on it.. It does sit a little lower on the rear left corner.. I cant see any problem with the leaf spring. Has newer shocks and the rest of the suspension/front end looks very original and un-tampered with.
Interior:
Pics show condition well. Dash is in great shape with no speaker holes cut, looks factory. Steering column looks great. Floors have been treated professionally with a bed-liner material and look great. Front seats are original and the upholstery looks great for a 30+yr old Jeep! Rear seat is from a Samurai, it folds and tumbles to reveal the 12v compressor and tool area. This tool box is completely removable if one wanted to go back to the original seat set up. Original rear seat is not included. Seat belts intact. Rear factory roll bar was professionally modified to cover more area in the rear.. it was then powder coated black. It was also, reinforced from underneath for a stronger mount. Nice locking center console with cup holders. Windows roll up and down. Doors have hairline cracks on both, and have been repaired (see photo, black rubber strip). Tailgate works perfectly and rear cargo lift works well. Ventilation/Heater box was completely cleaned, new heater core installed, cables all working.
Accessories:
This Jeep has all of the best accessories you could think of.. Anything added was done extremely well and it shows.
Believed to be a Dealer installed Warn winch, with vinyl cover !!! Awesome!!
Front loc-rite locker
Edelbrock intake/carb
Aluminum radiator
electronic ignition
Aftermarket aluminum wheels, 31" AT's
Nice Bikini top
Nice soft half doors
Has mounts for (2) 5 gal Jerry cans
Comes with a used rear locker (told it will fit, no guarantee)
Nice lockable center console
Nice sounding stereo with 2 6x9 speakers and 2 5.25" in boxes up front.
Like new pair of Cabella seat covers.
12v air compressor and accompanying air tool bag.
Summary:
As I mentioned.. I have never seen one in better condition that this.. Original paint is a big deal for me.. No bondo hiding rust problems.. Great patina, that shows this Jeep has been cared for and preserved. It is a blast to drive.. It really has gobs of power. Everything added and listed above, was very well thought out and adds to the enjoyment factor of this Jeep. With the monster power, super low range ability, Warn winch and the locker up front, this Jeep is very capable off road. Would compliment any Jeep enthusiasts collection. Amazing survivor.

When we read the tip about a Gulf-state diplomat in Rabat, Morocco who had supposedly "merged two Jeep Wranglers," we figured the two off-roaders were somehow linked front-to-back. Oh no. As you can see in the image above, taken from video of that vehicle actually traveling down the road and needing more than one lane to do it, the two Jeeps were put together side-by-side.
The seriously widebody truck is said to have six wheels, one at each corner and two in the middle. That's about all anyone seems to know about it at the moment, and that's probably enough - in these situations you know better than to ask why, just watch the video below.

Chrysler is betting that the Jeep Wrangler will continue its strong sales surge as it continues to push the legendary brand out across the globe. The Auburn Hills automaker is reportedly adding 200 workers at the Toledo, Ohio plant that builds the Wrangler. What's more, those new hires will be at their posts quickly - they'll be on the job by April 1. Of those 200 workers, 130 employees will be there to relieve those who need breaks.
Why do they need so many relief workers? The Toledo Jeep Complex is currently working at a torrid pace with two ten-hour shifts. A third shift has been ruled out for the moment because of a production botttleneck - the plant's paint shop is already maxed out. According to Reuters, Wrangler production in 2012 cleared 200,000 units, and US sales were up by 16 percent.
Another part of the Toledo plant is presently down as Chrysler retools the line to build Jeep's divisively styled Liberty replacement, the Cherokee (seen in our gallery below). Production for the new model is scheduled to begin toward the end of May.

It's no secret that the midsize crossover segment is one of the most hotly contested battlegrounds in the automotive industry. Long have vehicles like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 duked it out for those ever illusive consumer dollars. For many customers, though, even something like a Nissan Rogue is too big, whether in terms of price, fuel economy or just plain size.
For those customers, a growing market segment seems poised to fulfill their needs. Compact crossovers and tall wagons like the Nissan Juke and Kia Soul offer the high-riding driving experience with all the utility that comes from their two-box layout. It's an underrepresented segment among manufacturers, with big names like Toyota, Ford, General Motors and Honda lacking a true competitor.
To capitalize on this growing class, Chrysler's Jeep brand has readied this: the Renegade. That's right. Not Jeepster - Renegade. This diminutive off-roader, which rides on Fiat Chrysler's new small-wide 4x4 architecture, represents Jeep's first foray into the subcompact CUV segment as we know it, and it's making its official debut this week, on the floor of the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Join us as we take a close look at one of Jeep's most important products in some time.
