I am listing this vehicle for a good friend of mine. It is truly a 2 owner vehicle beginning its life in the warm dry Arizona climate where it spent the vast majority of its life until 2007. It was purchased new in October 1957 for approx $2100. The gentleman who owned it kept it until his passing in 2004 and then his son took possession until 2007 when it was traded in for a muscle car at a dealership named Broom Auto in Scotsdale, Arizona. It was at this point my friend saw it online and just had to have it! This is how it ended up in Connecticut, until the present. The vehicle runs and drives out excellent. It starts flawlessly and all the gears shift and hold just as they should. The 4 wheel drive works perfectly, the motor was rebuilt before my friend purchased it at which point the odometer was reset to the 3306 miles that you see now. It seems that the original color was blue and it has had several repaints in its life. The undercarriage as you can see is very clean and has never been driven in the snow of Connecticut. It is remarkable how nice the original metal on the vehicle is with only slight repairs made to the front fenders before it was repainted. The vehicle has been gone through mechanically over the last several years. It has a new front end, exhaust, all new engine gauges, waterpump, a great heater and new wipers. The seats have been reupholstered upon their original metal frames and a new removable top and doors also have been added. There are new body mounts so the vehicle holds steady and true with minimal body noise. There are 5 brand new mud and snow tires mounted on original rims to complete the drivetrain. During the last 7 years in Connecticut it has only been driven on a few occasions, approx 50 miles to a summer camp in Otis, Mass at which point it was garaged until its return back home. This vehicle draws a crowd wherever it goes and is a blast to drive. If you are looking for an old school, 4 wheel drive that really defines the American frontier as it was conquered this is the Jeep for you! What is really cool is the tool box located under the passenger seat which is perfect. Every item on this Jeep functions exactly as it should without exception. The paint on the vehicle is not perfect nor should it be on a 56 year old Jeep. There are a few dings as you can see in the photos. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but we will assist to load. A $500.00 deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction ending. All funds must clear the bank before the vehicle is shipped. You will receive the original Arizona title and a Connecticut Bill of Sale. It is for sale locally and we reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time. If you feel you can give her a good home we invite your bids. Any questions please email me and I will respond quickly. Thanks for looking. Happy Bidding.

Mopar introduces winter tire and wheel packages
Wed, Dec 2 2015Winter is coming, and Mopar will try to help drivers stay safe in the cold weather this year by offering a winter tire and wheel package for a variety of FCA US vehicles for the first time. The packages combine everything drivers need to be prepared for slick roads, including winter tires, steel wheels, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors. Even better, the company delivers them mounted, balanced, and ready for installation. Customers can order the bundles from dealers now. Mopar offers packages with the General Altimax Arctic tire on the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Cherokee, and Chrysler 200. All- and rear-wheel drive configurations of the Chrysler 300 get the Michelin X-Ice Xi3, and the all- and rear-drive Dodge Charger models use the Continental WinterContact SI. Depending on the vehicle, prices vary between $242 and $292 per wheel, and Mopar will expand the program to even more models next year. Spending the extra money on winter tires really can make a difference. Experts are clear that the specialized rubber simply works better when the weather gets cold. They can shorten braking distances and improve traction – even with all-wheel drive. Plus, winter tires can often last for more than one year, which spreads out the investment. ALL-NEW MOPAR WINTER WHEEL ASSEMBLIES DELIVER ADDITIONAL COLD-WEATHER CONTROL 01/12/15 from Mopar Print this page Add this release to Your Downloads Mopar winter wheel assemblies include winter tire, steel rim, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Assemblies delivered mounted, balanced, ready to install December 1, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Winter is coming and just in time, so are all-new Mopar winter wheel assemblies. The all-new Mopar winter wheel assemblies are available for order for a variety of FCA US vehicles. Assemblies include a winter tire, steel rim and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and are delivered mounted and balanced, so you or your dealership can quickly and easily pop off all-season rims and rubber and put on cold-weather appropriate gear. "Mopar is rolling out our first-ever offering of winter wheel assemblies for those customers who desire a little extra control during the cold weather seasons," said Pietro Gorlier, Head of Parts and Service (Mopar), FCA – Global.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Jeep Renegade configurator switches on
Fri, Jan 30 2015Less than a week after letting loose with pricing information for its 2015 Renegade, Jeep has powered up the configurator for its new compact CUV, giving us our first complete look at pricing for the model's healthy options catalog. If you've messed around with any of FCA's other online configurators, the Renegade's will be immediately familiar. Pick a trim, interior and exterior color, optional extras and packages, and you're done. Of course, we don't write these posts just to let you know about a configurator going live. We do them because it gives us an excuse to mess about with all the different varieties of a new model, and, on occasion, to build something surprisingly expensive or cheap, just to see if it can be done. The Renegade certainly has no issues when it comes to the former. If you want the priciest model, you'll need the $25,995 Trailhawk, which can be priced up to $33,330. We got to that figure by adding the $1,495 Trailhawk Premium Group (heated, powered leather seats, dual-zone climate control, heated steering wheel, 40/20/40 split-rear seats), the $595 Safety and Security Group I (blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic assist and an alarm), the $395 Trailer Tow Group, the $1,395 powered MySky system, a $150 hood decal (which might mean that you can get a Trailhawk without a black stripe), a $1,295 navigation system with satellite radio, a $495 nine-speaker stereo, a $295 push-button starter, a $200 remote starter and a $75 tonneau cover. Will you need all of those options? Not really. But many of them would certainly fall into the "must-have" category for customers. Head over to Jeep's consumer page and mess about with the configurator, and let us know what you think of the full pricing (and what your ideal spec looks like!) in Comments. Related Video:
