Yup, whatever you say Bill. Having a bad weekend are we?
This is not my car, but it shows the potential these cars had/have. Some of them are running 10 and even 9 second quarter mile times.
If memory serves those were available in the US.
"Most of the Diesel Cherokees were sold in Canada and Europe."
You only dropped the first three words from your quote...
Yeah, I give up, 7.77 just isn't quick enough.
Did Renault originally design it or do you how were they involved out of interest ?

_Overlander_ magazine reviewd a diesel-powered CJ-7 in Nov. 1982, produced for sale in France. It featured a Renault 2.1L diesel backed by an un-nammed 5-speed in an otherwise standard US-produced CJ-7. As it happens, Renault owned a biggish slice of AMC at the time so they were shipping engines to Ohio and getting back complete CJs badged "Distribue par Renault". My guess is that someone brought one back for personal use.
Bill Hughes is a stupid idiot. Jeep HAS made Diesel vehicles in America.
Not only that: People _retrofit_ Diesel engines to Jeeps. People have posted several lins with pictures. And certainly, a private non business owner stating his intention to do so, or asking for information on doing so, is clearly with in the charter. Bill's destructive, factually wrong, and ignorant comments are the unwanted trolling, not the reasonable questions.

El Mombooze-o (Bill Hughes,boobus pseudoamericanus)
'85. Somewhere in my mind is a fair new, maybe the Libby with an Italian diesel for Europe. But as much as a I hate tiny diesels mostly for f**kin up the transportation industry, I'm not going to search it.
What's "f**kin up" the transportation industry is that railroads and airlines have the unfair competition from the truckload freight industry. Class 8 diesel trucks ,especially 53' and 57' trailers, pay for about ten percent of the costs they incur by using Interstate highways and other roads vis-a-vis the motoring public at large, whereas railroads pay for their trackage themselves and airlines pay colossal landing and ramp fees. Yet, this stunod has the idea he is entitled by Divine Right to artificially cheap 16-hydrocarbon fuels, and us guys with our two, three, four liter prechamber engines are the _pirates_ here. How does this guy walk without a wheelbarrel??
If an owner operator can afford to pay twice-and-then-some what JB Hunt or Schneider pay for a tractor-so he can have the biggest hood and sleeper and the most chrome and a 700 hp engine-he can pay to have the _cleanest_ stack emissions too. And since he has no power, because he has no solidarity-what did OOIDA get on their work-to-rule effort, 10% compliance??-stick it to the ole peckerwood. Right on!
Care to wager some money on that one?
I can provide you with my PayPal address anytime your ready to pay up.
*Sigh* grow up Bill.
