Up for auction is a Jeep Renegade CJ7 in very good condition. One of my sons got this Jeep and thought it would be a fun toy, but his wife was not impressed so to keep peace in the home, he asked me to list it for him. He works construction out of town so he is not able to show the vehicle or answer questions. Hopefully you can see from the pictures that the vehicle is in really good shape for being 30 years old. We took it out today and were driving it around and I was impressed that it rides and drives as well as it does. The previous owner has taken a lot of time and invested a lot of money in this vehicle. The tires and wheels are almost new, put on this year, as I hope you can see and they cost $1500. He installed polyurethane bushings, which I believe is one of the reason it rides so well. The 4 wheel drive works as it should in both high and low ranges. It has the Dana 360 front and rear differentials. It has locking hubs on the front. The motor started right up without any smoke or clatter. The gentleman told my son that he has it rebuilt about 3000 miles ago but I have no paper work to confirm that. The motor has obviously been cared for. It has a Howell fuel injection carburetor installed which was over $1000 and I have the receipts as well as the manual for that. The Jeep has air conditioning that blows cold. There is no rust on the frame, there is some bubbling on the body side panels, but it is very slight, which I took pictures of so that you could see. I pulled back the carpet in the front and there is some bubbling on the floorboards but no holes. If you took some POR-15 paint you could solve this problem. The interior is in good shape with seat covers on the front seats, I removed the seat cover on the drivers side so that you could see the wear hole on the edge of the seat. The passenger seat and rear seat are in good shape. It has a nice console with locking compartment between the front seats. It has a Sony radio/CD player with remote control that works and sounds good. As you can see from the pictures it has the hard top, which obviously is removable and it has the soft top with the side curtains and doors. It also has the bikini top and all this comes with the vehicle. It has a chrome brush guard that mounts on to the front bumper, but is not installed. I have had many Jeeps and this one has definitely been taken of. The previous owner said that he had just had the steering column and gearbox rebuilt, I have some receipts for that so I would tend to believe him. The Jeep runs well and goes down the road straight without a lot of tire noise. If you have any specific questions, I will do my best to try and find the answer and respond promptly. Because of some non-paying bidders recently, if you do not have any feedback or less than 5 please email me before you bid. If you would like to see the vehicle, I will do my best to make arrangements to show it to you. If you purchase the vehicle and you need it shipped I will be glad to meet the shipper and assist in any way I can. I have done my very best to describe this vehicle accurately so if you have any questions please ask before you bid. Being a 30 year old vehicle, even with the improvements, the vehicle has to be sold "as is". We are also going to list it locally, so if it sells I will remove the ad. Thanks for your interest.
