It is optioned from the factory with the 289 V8, Automatic Transmission, 3.00:1 Rear Gear Ratio, Air Conditioning, Power Assist Ram Steering, Power Brakes, Power Rear Window, Luggage Rack, Front Sway Bar, Towing Package Rear Suspension, Day/Night Mirror, and AM Radio. The car is a highly optioned car within a low production run 1 of Approx. 4500 made so it would be a good candidate for an as is fixer upper driver, a full restoration, or a resto-mod car. 



Please read on for more specifics of the car:

 


Body/Paint: The body is in fair condition with minimal rot with some surface rust all as pictured.-Specifically the lower portion of the tailgate, in front of the rear tire area above the outer rocker panels near the back doors, under the tail light, and some other small attention areas. The front and rear floors are solid and the big trunk floor is 98% with only a couple small pin holes in the rear corner about a foot towards the middle, and a foot forward from the back tailgate.(probably due to moisture sitting under the rear trunk rubber floor mat). The paint is original and it maintains its copper color, the wheels are black with painted silver dog dish hubcaps.  

Interior: The interior is original to the car and showing some wear. The headliner should be replaced as well as the carpet and dash pad. The original bench seats are in good condition with the only blemish being on the drivers seat bottom as pictured. The original rubber trunk mat is also still in the car. The door windows all roll up and down as they should. 

Electrical: The wiring harness and original wiring are present and work. All of the gauges except for the fuel gauge work, all of the exterior lights work as well. The blower for the AC or heater does not turn on. The AM radio does turn on and work but would need a new dash speaker. I had the power rear window motor disassembled, fixed and reinstalled so the window went up and down, but it just stopped in the full up(closed) position, not sure why now.

Running Gear:Original 289 V8 engine that runs. It was tuned up with new plugs, cap, and rotor also an oil change with valvoline oil and a motorcraft filter. A new Duralast Lifetime starter and fan belts were installed as well. A new fuel filter was installed as well as a mild carburetor freshen performed. The engine still retains a miss that should go away with driving it. I would go through engine and re-gasket it to make it 100% and reliable. The AC needs to be recharged. The heater core is bypassed. The radiator does have a decent leak and should be replaced. However the transmission was rebuilt by the previous owner and shifts properly. The rear end is a 9" and has a 3.00 gear.

 

Steering/Suspension: The power assist steering ram leaks and needs to be rebuilt. The steering components are original and have been greased where greasable. The suspension is stock and original with the optional towing package rear leaf springs and front sway bar.   

 

Brakes: Optional power front and rear drum brakes with booster working properly. The brakes have been gone through with 4 wheel cylinders, hoses, and the master cylinder being replaced. I had new bearings and inner wheel seals installed in the front hubs while the brakes were being serviced.


Glass:  All of the glass is original and not cracked.   

 

Bright work:  All of the correct original brightwork is on the car.


Exhaust:  Currently has old duel dumps exiting under the car, but needs a full exhaust system put on.

 

Wheels/Tires:  The wheels are 14" steelies with dog dish hub caps, with 4 decent tires.


Summary: The car is not the best I've seen, but by far not the worst. Keep in mind I have driven this car through all 3 gears up to 60 mph, and it was not just once or twice, so it does work under its own power. With its rarity and high options, clear title, running condition, and its ability to drive and stop, it makes it all worth the while. It is a cool car and I have not seen another one in person to date.

Disclaimer:  The car is for sale locally.  The owner has the right to cancel the auction at any time for any reason.  No warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied with the car being sold in "AS IS" condition.

If you have any questions about the car at all, please feel free to ask and I will post them to the eBay page for everyone to see.

Thank you for your time and interest. Happy Bidding!

Jeep Grand Cherokee, BMW i8, Ford F-150 win 2015 Green Car Awards in DC [w/video]

Tue, Jan 27 2015

There were three shiny trophies handed out at the Washington Auto Show last week by Green Car Journal, and they went to three different examples of what "green" means in the automotive industry today. The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel won the award for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year, the BMW i8 was named the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year and the Ford F-150 took the 2015 Green Car Technology Award honor. There is a case to be made that the aluminum body of the new Ford truck will make a bigger impact in the overall fuel usage in the US than almost any other vehicle, given the numbers of F-150s that Ford sells each year. The B20 biodiesel-capable Jeep gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. And the i8 puts all sorts of new, fuel-saving technologies into an attractive package. Looking over the winners, and the list of finalists you can see in our photo gallery, and you can see that the definition of green is expanding every year. You can watch Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan hand out the 2015 awards in the video below and we'll for sure be paying attention to what wins next year. 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year and Green Car Technology Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has named the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel its 2015 Green SUV of the Year™ and the BMW i8 its 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year™, with the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 earning the magazine's 2015 Green Car Technology Award™. Winners were determined by a jury of Green Car Journal editors and automotive experts. The prestigious awards were announced in Washington, D.C. today at a Green Car Awards™ press conference held during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day at the Washington Convention Center. "These are truly commendable vehicles representing the 'best-of-the-best' in so many ways," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The auto industry's very early focus on small cars and efficiency-for-environment tradeoffs has evolved to now include a more dynamic field of 'greener' models in all vehicle classes. Those wanting greater efficiency or better environmental performance are no longer constrained by limited choices or vehicle types that fall outside their top purchase preferences.
