This does not come around often...say once every 40 years.    

This 1974 is completely factory original.   The paint is original as Toledo applied it, graphics, seats, windshield, body, engine....everything.      I spent months cleaning and polishing and detailing every part of this jeep to get back to showroom condition.   

I purchased this vehicle from the original owner in Missouri.   She was a widow of 33 years.    This jeep was her husbands and the couple owned a summer cottage on a lake just outside KC.   He purchased it new in Kansas City in 1974 and took it directly to their summer home.   There he put 22, 250 miles on the jeep until 1981 when after he had put the vehicle in the garage or the evening he had a stroke and shortly died.    The jeep was left in the garage for 33 years by his widow so as to preserve his memory along with all his other trappings.    

He took great care of this vehicle, just getting new tires on the vehicle in 1979 (white walls)   changing the oil, filters and plugs.  He placed vinyl labels indicating the date and mileage on the cowl and filters.   I surmise a rather anal guy who loved his chick magnet ride.  

When I purchased it:

  1.) I changed the brake Master cylinder, wheel cylinders and installed new brake lining and hoses because they were seized from non use and the fluid was like mud.
2.)   Installed a new fuel tank because I could not get the old fuel out.
3.) Sent the carb out to be rebuilt by American Carburetor, Inc  (no replacement parts, NOS original AMC gaskets and original tag with matching date that came with it)  It looks and operates like new.  
4.) Replaced the E-Brake cable because it was very stiff and hard to operate.
5.) Flushed the entire coolant system and installed new hoses.
6.) Replaces the fan belt
7.) Replaced the rubber fuel lines.   
8.) Complete compound, polish inside, under the hood etc.   
9.) Change all lubes in diff, engine, trans, transfer case and lube chassis.  


I have the original WHITCO top and Doors in white.   The top is in new condition because it was not on the vehicle at the time it was placed in the garage   Very clean and super original.   

The spare is the original Goodyear Polyglas Suburbanite.   With original aluminum wheels.   Whitco original spare tire cover was on it when I purchased.   

There are factory dates and part numbers on the frame that are clearly visible, and the stamped frame serial numbers match to VIN.

There is only surface rust staining on the floor.

The seats are original to this vehicle, soft and strong: are beige in color,   only one small 1" seam separation on the drivers seat.

The seat belts are new condition,   one set of the rear seat belts are still in the factory protective black bag the way they came from the factory.   Amazing!

The Engine fires immediately and runs very, very smoothly, with no leaks, clicks, pings.   

All Gauges work, lights, brakes, wipers, horn, turn sigs.   

The factory color is Mellow Yellow matches the tag.

For his last act, Marchionne will outline an EV/hybrid roadmap this week

Wed, May 30 2018

MILAN/LONDON — Fiat Chrysler (FCA) boss Sergio Marchionne is expected to outline new plans for electric and hybrid cars in a strategy presentation on Friday, aiming to ensure the world's seventh-largest carmaker remains in the race in the absence of a merger. The 65-year-old will present FCA's strategy to 2022, his final contribution to the company he turned around and multiplied in value through 14 years of canny dealmaking. After failing to secure a tie-up he said was necessary to manage the costs of producing cleaner vehicles, Marchionne needs to show the group can keep churning out profits on its own, even as emissions rules tighten, SUV competition intensifies and worries around his succession abound. Marchionne had long refused to jump on the electrification bandwagon, saying he would only do so if selling battery-powered cars could be done at a profit. He even urged customers not to buy FCA's Fiat 500e, its only battery-powered model, because he was losing money on each sold. But Tesla's success and the need to comply with tougher emissions rules have forced Marchionne to commit to what he calls "most painful" spending. "FCA is way behind rivals in terms of hybrid and electric vehicles and they need to hit the accelerator to convince investors they can close that gap," said Andrea Pastorelli, a fund manager at 8a+ Investimenti. Germany's Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW and U.S. rivals GM and Ford have committed to spending billions of euros each in coming years to try produce profitable cars powered by cleaner fuels. FCA needs to present a clear roadmap, just like Volvo Cars, which ditched diesel from its best-selling XC60 SUV, launched a new electric brand and pledged to shift all brands to hybrid by 2019, a banking source close to FCA said, noting: "The tech divide determines winners and losers in the industry." Marchionne has already said half of the wider FCA fleet will incorporate some elements of electrification by 2022, while luxury marque Maserati will spearhead FCA's electrification drive by making all new models due after 2019 electric. But its plans remain vaguer and less advanced than most big rivals and some investors wonder about the capital required to make vehicles compliant, and what share of spending can go to electrification given FCA's numerous demands.

Watch this 9-year-old drive Jeep Wrangler off-road [w/poll]

Wed, 28 May 2014

This nine-year-old girl might be better at rock crawling than some people twice her age. But is it worth putting her in danger to do it? According to her father on the Jeep Experience Facebook page, her name is Faith, and she has been offroading with her family since she was two. At nine years old, she's now driving her dad's Jeep over the rocks by herself.
As you can see she's belted in and under her father's direct supervision and guidance. She shows immense confidence for someone her age and follows her dad's instructions on exactly what to do. Although, this could still be a very dangerous situation if something went wrong.
Previously, we saw a similar video with a six-year-old on a motorcycle driving on public roads through the desert. Voters decided by only a six-point margin that the adult should be in trouble for letting the kid ride the bike. Here, we have a slightly older child driving a vehicle off road. Where do you fall in this case? Is it still wrong to hand over control to a child? Let us know in the poll below and scroll down to watch the video.
