 I have 1976 Jeep Cj7 for sale. I bought this vehicle while stationed in Alabama, and by the lack of rust I believe it spent all of it's life in the South. The Jeep is almost completely original with the AMC 304 V8 under the hood attached to the original three speed transmission as well. Blinkers and brake lights work. In the pics you will see the original air filter and most of the EGR system in tact. The gentleman I bought it from was a helicopter mechanic and did an excellent job replacing the floor boards, this Jeep is solid. If you're looking for an old Cj with minimal body work this one is for you. The engine runs strong. Some of the discrepancies. I would replace the front fenders which are readily available, looks like someone stood on them at one time, rear view mirror is missing, the side running lights are missing but easily rewired. If you look at the pics you will see original paint under the hood and inside as well, along with the original seats. Here is a Jeep you can put on the road today and make improvements while you enjoy driving in it. And if you're like me you'll appreciate the original hard top as well, especially with our winters. If you have any questions please send me a message and I will respond. Thanks for looking.

You mentioned very little rust. Where is the rust and how bad is it? Is there any way you can send pics of the rust spots? Thanks, Keith

 Hey Keith, I will send all the pictures you want. Well the rust... the floor has been completely replaced and rear tailgate is diamond plate. The little rust I speak of is the rest of the body, the corners are solid, windshield. There is some rust on the bottom of the doors, but not much. I am speaking relatively to any other old Cj I've seen. The last one I rebuilt I had to replace the tub, this one you would not. What is your email? I'm at my limit of pictures on here. I do see it allows me to add photos on here as well. Or please call me at 309 912 6187. John

Can you tell me the condition of Engine( smoke, oil usage) Trans condition and 4x4....Front end condition for as handling...Does the jeep have heat....Thanks

Engine compression is from 119 on the lowest to 135 on the highest. They average out at 129. There is smoke smoke at start up which I believe to be coming from the valve stem seals. But once it's running I'm not seeing any smoke. As far as the front end it does not have power steering or brakes. It seems fine to me, I've driven down the highway up to 80 mph. I live 15 minutes out of town. It shifts through all of the gears smoothly and the 4 wheel drive works. I can tell you it all works. If you have any questions or would like more pictures leave me your email. I can be reached at 309 912 6187. John

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
