History

American Motors bought Kaiser Jeep in 1970 and ran it as its Jeep Corporation division from Toledo, replacing the Buick and Tornado engines with AMC sixes and V8s in 1972, introducing Quadra-Trac in 1973, the Cherokee in 1974 and the CJ-7 in 1976. Renault took a stake in 1979 and funded the compact Cherokee XJ of 1984, the best-selling Jeep of its day; the Wrangler YJ of 1986 replaced the CJ. Chrysler bought AMC in August 1987 chiefly for the Jeep brand. AMC-era Jeeps carry the 13-character number of 1972–80 and the 1JC VIN of 1981–87.
