1977 Jeep Renegade, Nearly Complete Project, Same Owner Since 1978

FOR AUCTION WE HAVE A 1977 JEEP RENEGADE WITH ONLY 77,000 MILES. THIS JEEP HAS BEEN OWNED BY THE SAME PERSON SINCE 1978. SEVERAL YEARS AGO HE DECIDED TO REDO AND UPDATE HIS JEEP. HE STARTED WITH AN ALL NEW FIBERGLASS BODY WITH ORIGINAL STEEL HOOD AND FRONT END. HE HAD THE SEATS REDONE AND REPLACED THE SOFT TOP. HE ADDED HEAVY DUTY BUMPERS BOTH FRONT AND REAR. NEW REMINGTON 35X12.5 15LT MUD BRUTE TIRES ON AMERICAN RACING ALUMINUM WHEELS. AS FOR THE DRIVE TRAIN, HE REPLACED THE ORIGINAL ENGINE WITH A REBUILT 390 V8 ENGINE THAT ORIGINALLY WAS IN AN AMX JAVELIN. ALSO INCLUDED WAS NEW CAM, LIFTERS, HOLLEY 4BBL CARBURETOR, H&I DISTRIBUTOR AND FUEL PUMP. 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH HEAVY DUTY CLUTCH. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS WHERE HIS PROJECT STOPPED DUE TO HEALTH REASONS. HE WAS HOPING TO RESUME HIS ENDEAVOR AT A LATER DATE, BUT HIS HEALTH WILL NOT ALLOW THIS. THEY HAVE NOW DECIDED TO SELL HIS JEEP WITHOUT COMPLETING THE PROJECT 100 %. OF COURS, HOW FAR YOU WOULD ACTUALLY GO WOULD BE UP TO YOU. HOWEVER, WHAT DEFINITELY
NEEDS DONE IS FRONT END WORK. IT CAN BE DRIVEN, BUT IT IS NOT AN EASY TASK. THE OTHER ISSUE FOUND WHILE DRIVING IS THAT SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION WILL COME OUT OF 2ND GEAR. THAT BEING SAID, THESE ARE THE ITEMS WE FEEL SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. WE ARE SELLING THIS JEEP FOR THE OWNER AS HE HOPES TO GET SOME MUCH NEEDED FUNDS TO HELP WITH HIS MOVE INTO A HOME BETTER SUITED FOR HIS NEEDS. YOU MAY MESSAGE US OR CALL 304-776-4600 WITH QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. WE WILL TRY TO GET ANSWERS FOR YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR VIEWING THIS AUCTION.
