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.

Watch this 650-hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds
Tue, 14 May 2013Hennessey Performance Engineering has created an HPE650 package for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT fitted with the 6.4-liter Hemi engine. When it leaves the showroom floor it has 470 horsepower and gets from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. When it leaves Hennessey's garage floor after the upgrade it has 650 horsepower - 530 hp at the wheels, according to Hennessey - and gets to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to running the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds.
There's more than just a Roots-type supercharger bolt-on, with ported cylinder heads and high-flow headers among the many changes made to the engine. You can watch this pre-2014 facelift silver model prove its spec sheet on the drag strip in the video below.
Some Jeep Cherokees and Chrysler 200s to get standard stop-start in 2015
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Automakers the world over are striving to find ways to make their models more efficient, and Chrysler has a solution for some versions of the 2015 Chrysler 200 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee (2014 model shown). The Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the 200 and the 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 in the Cherokee are getting a slight boost later this year thanks to the addition of Chrysler's Engine Stop-Start system as standard equipment. The company predicts modest gains - a three-percent improvement in fuel economy and a three percent reduction in CO2 emissions with the new tech compared to without it. While it's not much, those who sit in traffic a lot may see a difference.
Chrysler's stop/start system uses a high-speed starter motor to restart the vehicle in a claimed a third of a second. It works by detecting when the vehicle comes to a stop and turning off the engine. A more powerful battery maintains all of the model's accessories while it sits. When the driver lets off the brake, the car starts up again to drive away. There is even a button in the cabin to turn the ESS off, if desired.
The Jeep will be the first to receive ESS in the third quarter of this year to coincide with the start of production of the 2015 model-year version. The 200 will follow in the fourth quarter as a rolling change in production.
Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
