This NO RESERVE auction is for a 1977 Renegade CJ7 Levi's edition 304 v8 Jeep. This Jeep was bought new in Pickens South Carolina at the famed Hinkle Jeep dealership. The dealer sticker is still on the front grill along with the "Hinkle" rear bumper. It also has the original 15 x 8 chrome spoke wheels that were a Hinkle option. Google "Hinkle Jeep" if you are unfirmiliar with them, they were the largest in the world in the seventies. This Jeep has always been a local Jeep as it was bought off the original owner just a couple of months ago. This CJ is very solid with just a couple of rust issues at the usual spots. There is some rust where the jack mounts under the drivers seat. There is also some where the reinforcement is just behind the Jeep logo on the side of the tub. The tailgate does need to be replaced also. The lower spare tire mount is tore out of the body and does need attention. The floor boards have some surface rust on it as well but they are very solid, just surface.The frame and underside is very rust free, no mud inside the frame. All of these issues are normal for an original Jeep and are easy to fix. Under the battery is very nice, just some surface rust.
The Jeep fires up and runs like it should, choke and high idle works well. You can drive it and lug it down and almost count the cylinders firing and doesn't miss a beat, no smoke or rattles.The power steering does leak and is weak, no other major leaks. The transmission and clutch works like they should as well as the transfer case. The CJ does have front disc brakes and they work well. There are no locking hubs, just the stock factory bolt on plates. The CJ did come with the heavy duty cooling and had the factory shroud and clutch fan. This does have the manifolds and pipes that go under the frame out to side pipes. The doughnut gaskets do leak.
The Jeep had not been repainted, those are the original decals. But the original owner did take some black spray paint and tried to "doctor" it up in places. The CJ drives good down the road with just little bit of wander, the shackle bushing are original and look good. The dash is uncut, there is a old style aftermarket radio in it. The factory tan dash pad is there and in very nice condition, no cuts or cracks. The original rear seat is still there but the front ones either have been recoverd or replaced, the seat brackets are original though. Black outside color and tan interior. The top is ok, it will keep you and the Jeep somewhat dry.
Sorry guys, I feel like I am rambling on, just trying to cover everything so when you come to pick it up there are no surprises. If you want a nice CJ either to restore or make into a nice driver then this is the one! This does need to be trailered home as there are some dry rot in the tires and it does need to be gone over before it is driven much. I did drive it up and down the road but only up to about 40 mph. No shipping on this.....$500 to my paypal account within 48 hours of end of auction. I am located halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte right off of I85. If you want to come and look. Thanks

NHTSA closes book on Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall after all
Mon, 20 Jan 2014After much debating and hand-wringing, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now says it has "no reservations" with Chrysler's plan to recall certain Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models over concerns that their fuel tanks, which are located behind the rear axle, could rupture or leak in the event of a rear impact. The longstanding argument between the two entities saw Chrysler openly defy the Feds after a request to recall 2.7 million units back in June.
Chrysler's "voluntary campaign" will instead see it recall 1.56-million 1993-2004 model year Grand Cherokee SUVs, along with 2002-2007 Liberty models. Affected vehicles will get a trailer hitch installed free of charge, which Chrysler says will provide an additional degree of protection for the fuel tanks in the event of a crash. Jeeps with Mopar-branded hitches or hitches that were installed at the factory aren't affected by this recall.
Chrysler's argument throughout this battle has been that the Jeeps in question are no more susceptible to fires than comparable vehicles from the same time period, a position that NHTSA has seemingly arrived at as well. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," said outgoing NHTSA boss David Strickland during an interview with the The Associated Press.
2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Ice skates are spectacular on frozen water, yet they are dreadful everyday footwear. I consider the Jeep Wrangler equally as specialized.
I recently spent a week with a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4. Introduced for the 2007 model year, the Wrangler Unlimited is a standard JK two-door with 20.6 inches added to its wheelbase and two additional doors bolted to its passenger compartment. While Jeep offers the Unlimited in seven different trim levels, the desirable Rubicon is the most capable when the pavement ends, as it boasts a slew of hardcore off-road tools including front and rear electronic locking differentials and a front sway bar that can be disengaged at the touch of a button for improved articulation. My I-Look-Like-A-Traffic-Cone test model started with a base price of $34,095 (plus $995 destination). Options including a five-speed automatic transmission, Uconnect, tow package and a premium soft top, drove the bottom line up to $38,630.

Jeep Wrangler Polar Edition coming to America
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Jeep originally took the wraps off its Polar Edition Wrangler at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and at the time, we figured this would be a Europe-only affair. (Perfectly fine, since we US customers haven't exactly been lacking special edition Wrangler models over the years.) But now, and as Jeep says, just in time for winter, the automaker has announced that the ice cold Wrangler will be hitting North American showrooms in November.
Based on the Wrangler Sahara model, the Polar Edition can be had in either two- or four-door body styles, with a unique Hydro Blue paint job as the featured color. (Buyers can also opt for less-special Billet Silver and Bright White hues.) Other exterior enhancements include a body-colored hardtop, 18-inch gloss black wheels, the Powerdome (power bulge) hood, and unique decals all around the body.
But the Polar Edition isn't just about some paint and stickers. Jeep has fitted this Wrangler with a Dana 30 front axle and Dan 44 rear axle, as well as the Trac-Lok anti-spin electronic rear differential. Like all US-spec Wranglers, the Polar Edition uses Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, producing 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both a six-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmission are available.
