For your consideration, is this amazing 1979 Jeep CJ7. 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 with all the right equipment. 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 a good luster and does not appear to be wearing thin like many original paint Jeeps.. Don't expect like new paint though.. It has its share of paint imperfections.. mostly tiny rock chips, the front fenders and grill is where the majority of them are. 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, very responsive. 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. I think it is shackle related. 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.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

Jeep Wrangler Dragon Edition coming to North America

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

If 2012 was the year of the dragon in China, perhaps the US can claim 2014. After showing the Jeep Wrangler Dragon Design Concept at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, and apparently receiving "tremendously positive feedback" from Jeep enthusiasts across the globe, the automaker has decided to introduce a production version that will hit US showrooms this fall with a price of $36,095.
"The dragon symbolizes strength and power and is an aspirational character normally associated with royalty and good fortune," says Jeep, and that apparently equates to a blacked-out Wrangler Unlimited with bronze satin gloss highlights inside and out, along with big dragon decals that start on the hood and run down the fenders. There are 18-inch matte black wheels with a bronze outer edges, and a dragon-emblazoned spare tire cover completes the look.
We suggest you peruse the high-res image gallery above to see all the black and bronze detailing yourself, and make special note of the interior. In related news, all 2014 Jeep Wrangler models get an optional Trail Kit and clear park lamps to replace the previous amber units. New colors include Amp'd, Anvil, Copperhead, Flame Red, Granite Crystal and Hydro Blue (Freedom edition only), which join carryover colors Billet Silver, Bright White, Black and Dune.

Watch this 650-hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds

Tue, 14 May 2013

Hennessey 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.
