1982 Jeep Cj7 Cj 7 - 6 Cyl 258 T4 Manual Wide Track - Solid Fixer Upper on 2040-cars

Year:1982 Mileage:136000
Location:

Oka, Quebec, Canada

Oka, Quebec, Canada

Hi, I am reluctantly selling my Jeep since I don't have any more time to enjoy it, and I have a lot more projects on the waiting list. I ought it 2 years ago with a broken differential and have fixed a lot of things on it to make it running again. I have used it to get around in the forest for the past year and it ran well. 

It's a 1982, with an inline 6 cylinder engine, 258 and a T4 manual transmission. It has a hard-top from a 97 YJ, it has the side bars for the roll cage, it has a soft roof also. Mileage is 136K miles but I don't know if it's actual. There are a lot of pros and cons on this car so here goes: 

Pros: 
- This vehicle has been previously restored but I don't know when and by who. Everything is color painted, frame is purple, engine is orange, transfer case is yellow, etc. 
- Very solid frame, has been re-plated on the right side, otherwise is rust free and rustproofed. 
- New spark plugs, distributor, PCV valve, fuel filter, etc. 
- New carburetor, Weber DGES 38 bought last year to replace the carter one
- Front calipers and pads are new
- Rear differential was replaced, with a used but working drive shaft. It's a locked differential with one piece axles to put on larger tires, new differential oil, etc. 
- No holes in the body or frame
- Doors come off

Cons: 
- Original paint is blue, re-painted by hand with matte Tremclad anti-rust paint. 
- Engine burns oil, when the car is hot it has more smoke from the tailpipe than a 19th Century locomotive. Piston rings are probably finished. Engine must be rebuilt
- Transfer case shifts very hard from 4X4 to 2X4 or low to high. I don't know what the problem is. 
- Seats are rusted though, well the springs are, and the fabric is torn. They must be replaced. 
- Wiring must be re-done on the whole car. It starts and runs with the key, speedo works, oil pressure works, but the gas and temp do not. Headlights do not work. Complete wiring must be redone in it. 

It starts and runs but needs a lot of work. I do not deem it secure to drive it as it is on the road (maybe in the forest but still)

Please refer to the pictures for any additional information, it comes exactly as pictured. 

It is located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada but I am willing to ship it worldwide at the buyer's expense. 

*** SHIPPING IT TO EUROPE IS AROUND 1000$ - 1500$ ***

Overseas buyers: Please message me for quote, it's easier for me to get it shipped to Helsinki, Rotterdam of somewhere along those lines. 
USA bidders: I could deliver the car to Champlain NY 12919 for free but the paperwork is on you, I have never exported a car to the US so I'm not aware of the laws, but could assist you in any case. 


If you have questions please ask before bidding.

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk

Mon, 13 May 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.

Jeep mulling power top for next Wrangler

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

Jeep is hard at work on the next-generation Wrangler, though the truck is still a few years from hitting the trails. The new model will still be aimed at off-roaders, but rumors suggest it will be a little more comfortable than previous versions to appeal to more people.
According to Road and Track, Jeep is developing a power-retractable top as an expensive option for the Wrangler. There is no word if the top in question is a sliding canvas rollback like the ones found on many European vehicles or a full convertible hardtop or softtop, nor do we know whether it would be made available on two- or four-door models. It might be a nice feature for some buyers but would certainly add complexity to a truck already known for its ruggedness. We asked Jeep for confirmation, but Jeep spokesperson Todd Goyer could only remind us that the company "can't comment about future products."
In news that is likely to irk the faithful, R&T reports the next model may also ditch its folding windshield for improved safety and possibly even get rid of its rear-mounted, full-size spare tire. The new Wrangler won't go completely soft, though, and will reportedly still feature removable doors and solid axles.

Watch this Jeep Willys return to its birthplace after 70 years

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, a very significant Jeep was celebrated at the Toledo North Assembly plant. No, it wasn't the upcoming reincarnation of the Jeep Cherokee, but instead it was a 1943 Willys MB that visited the Toledo grounds where it had been built exactly 70 years ago to the day.
Of course, the actual building where the MBs rolled off the assembly line before heading to Europe for World War II no longer exists, but that didn't stop Italian owner Vittorio Argento from having the vehicle shipped to the US to make its trek back to its birth place. According to Chrysler, Argento's MB is still 95-percent original and it drove 1,000 miles from New Jersey to Toledo.
The whole adventure was chronicled on a blog aptly named A Jeep Comes Home. Scroll down for a brief video from Chrysler and for some photos of the Toledo visit and be sure to read more at Argento's blog.
