This is a rust and rot-free CJ7 that came from Arizona and has a clear Arizona Title. I bought it knowing that I was going to bring it back to original however I am sidetracked by a '78 Golden Eagle project. This jeep is rock solid and drives great. The engine has been replaced with a newer 4.2 liter fuel injected engine (not the 4.0 liter). The jeep starts on the first turn of the key each and every time and absolutely NO idling issues. It drives great down the highway at 70 mph and doesn't wander or wobble at all. The 4-speed transmission and clutch shift perfectly and the jeep stops on a dime. The brakes as well as the exhaust have been replaced recently and it does appear to be legal for anyone interested in emission restricted states. The catalytic converter are in place and it does have the original components for smog control under the hood. Keep in mind that Michigan does not have mandatory testing so I can't say for certain that it will pass emissions, but as I stated, all of the components appear to be intact and the jeep does not seem to run rich or lean. 4x4 works fine but I've not had it out in the sand dunes or mudding - I simply don't use my jeeps that way. The jeep does not have power steering, however I do have the gearbox as well as the pump if you'd like to convert it. Those items can be negotiated in the selling price however are not included in the auction.
The exterior is in great shape. I had it painted recently however I instructed the shop to not use any filler. You can still see the factory rivet marks and the natural "waves" that the jeep had when it was born. There were just too many stone pops/chips for me to put a new decal package over it so I had it painted. The paint is not show quality, however it looks great. I tend to be a little picky on my jeeps so I may be more critical than others. The doors were painted as well as and have all new seals. The soft-top is almost new and I actually hate to get rid of it as I was planning on saving it for my next project. Same story with the wheels. I had painted a set of wagon wheels and found some trim rings and center caps but the chrome ones look too good to take off.
The interior is in great condition as well. There are a few things a purist would notice but doesn't affect the jeep. The dash is cut for the stereo, the steering column is out of a YJ (one of the plastic rings is cracked), there is a toggle switch on the dash for the fuel pump (I haven't taken the time to wire the electric fuel pump to the ignition - it was this way when I got it), I recovered the seats with aftermarket, leather skins (although they look really good), the rear seat is aftermarket, the center console is missing the lock, and the carpet I installed is out of a YJ so some of the holes are a little larger around the seat belt openings. Other than that, the jeep shows extremely well. The previous owner also painted in the bedliner material on the inside, which I didn't know before I purchased it site-unseen. For that reason, I did take a bunch of pictures of the underside so you can see that the pans are not rusted out in the least bit.
The rockers are solid. As you can see from the underside, the rocker mouldings have no rust on the attachment lip. There is no rust near the rear frame or tailgate welds either. This jeep is Solid! Because I have a bunch of parts and wouldn't mind keeping some of the parts off the jeep, I'm willing to negotiate a few items if you'd like to get the reserve lowered:
Top: Have a white-hard top as well as an original white whitco - snap top with all of the doors and hardware. I'd be willing to drop for the hardtop swap or a few more bucks for the original
Wheels: I have a set of four painted, black wagon wheels with chrome trim rings and center caps that would like nice as well.
Center Console: If you are planning on replacing this one - I'll take it out and drop a few bucks
Power Steering: I can include the p/s pump as well as the gearbox for a few bucks (you install it)
Lastly, the odometer wasn't working so it was swapped out with one that was. The gauges, including the gas gauge, do work now - however I don't know the true mileage of the jeep. Being from Arizona, I do have the emissions test, which it passed easily in 2012. I have made no modifications to the engine other than a tune up (plugs, wires, oil, etc) so there should be no changes. Being a used vehicle though, I cannot guarantee that it will pass. All I can tell you is that it does not run rich or lean, has no cold issues like the carter BBD carbs had, no rod noises or engine knocks - so I can't imagine there would be an emission problem if you live in a state that requires it.
I don't have any problem shipping however I'm in need of space so it would have to be within a reasonable timeframe. I've sold jeeps and mustangs to Australia, South Africa, New Zeeland, Norway, and Canada - to name a few. If you have any questions or want more pictures, please don't hesitate to ask however I do request that you respect my time and refrain from tire-kicking. Thanks for looking and GodBless!

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.

Chrysler announced its 2013 financial results today and unveiled its new name and decidedly bank-like logo. Amid the announcement, Chrysler posted big gains in income, while Fiat didn't perform to analysts' expectations.
For 2013, Chrysler had revenue of $72.1 billion, up 10 percent from 2012. Net income reached $2.8 billion, a 65-percent increase. It was the company's third straight year of annual profits.
In terms of unit sales, Chrysler sold 2.4 million cars worldwide in 2013, up 9 percent. According to Automotive News, 1.8 million of those vehicles were sold in the US, a 14-percent increase. The sales growth boosted Chrysler's US market share to 11.4 percent, up 0.2 percent.

This is indeed a case of not knowing how much we wanted something until it arrived. We've been big fans of the Jeep Grand Cherokee ever since the new model arrived a couple of years ago, and while the update you see here might seem just a slight refresh, it's actually much more than that.
For starters, the 2014 Grand Cherokee marks the return of a diesel model here in the States, with Chrysler's new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 under the hood, churning out 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all of the Grand Cherokee's usual off-road goodies are on hand, with moderate tweaks to make it an even more capable vehicle when the going gets rough. Both the gasoline-fed 3.6-liter V6 and 5.7-liter V8 get the new eight-speed auto, as well.
The high-performance Grand Cherokee SRT also trudges on into the new model year, with very subtle tweaks found underneath the aggressive, slightly redesigned sheetmetal. The 6.4-liter Hemi V8 also gets eight-speed gearing, which Chrysler says will improve not only 0-60 times, but mid-range performance as well. Bring it on, we say.
