This was my fathers jeep. He bought it from a hunting buddy in 1980 and had it until his death in 2012. The car lived in Northern California until September 2013 and never saw rain. He would take it out of the garage for hunting season, tow it to his campsite, and tow it back to his garage when hunting season was over. Of the 42K miles, I would estimate that 1/3 to 1/2 of those miles were put on the jeep with the engine off being towed behind his truck.
The jeep has been outfitted for hunting. There is a rifle rack between the driver and passenger side. Fog lights were added. A Warn Winch ($1000?) was installed sometime in the last 5 years or so. The soft top is in mint condition as are the doors. I think the only time they were ever used was to ship the Jeep from Northern California to South Carolina. The back seat has never been used. The glove compartment was removed to install the rifle rack and is in perfect condition. I had a new battery put in during a full service in September 2013. Also had a new ignition switch put in. There is also a tow hitch-bar that can be used to tow the jeep behind your truck or RV. Everything works with the exception of the gas gauge. I do not know what is wrong with it. The rear view mirror is missing. My father may have removed it for better visibility while hunting. The tires have great tread on them, more than 60%, and appear to be fine, however, they have been on the jeep as long as I can remember (25+ years) and the new owner may want to change them out. My father was meticulous and the Jeep has been well cared for. I've put about 100 miles on it since September, and it runs great, very responsive. Since my fathers death, I've learned many things about him that are extremely unpleasant and I can't look at this jeep without those reminders, so I am selling it.It is very fun to drive. If you are looking for a well built AMC jeep with low miles that has been well cared for, please feel free to email me with any questions. Please request additional pictures and I will take an upload. Shipping is buyers responsibility however I will assist with shipping if needed. |

Jeep Renegade gets Riptide and Frostbite customs at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The cute little Jeep Renegade isn't even on sale yet, but here at SEMA, the Mopar folks are giving us a taste of what's possible for the little CUV in the big wide world of customization. Part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' massive SEMA spread, the Renegade shows up in fresh Riptide and and Frostbite guises.
First up, the Riptide arrives in Vibrance Grandeur Blue with black wheels and a big ol' Jeep Performance Parts logo on the rear pillar. There are a few black accents elsewhere on the exterior, and a surfboard carrier rides up on the roof. The blue color scheme also finds its way inside the Renegade, on the instrument cluster and side panels, with contrasting white accents.
By contrast, the Frostbite Renegade reverses the Riptide's color scheme, with white being the main paint of choice, with blue accents abound. And inside, Katzkin seats wear blue upholstery. The Frostbite is a pretty functional creation, as well, with a Mopar ski/snowboard roof rack and a Jeep Performance Parts rock rail guard.
Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
Jeep hiring 1,000 part-time workers in Toledo on Wrangler, Cherokee demand
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The new Jeep Cherokee has been quite a success for Chrysler, but its factory workers are getting tired. The automaker has agreed to hire up to 1,000 part-time, temporary employees at its Toledo Assembly Complex where the CUV and Wrangler are built. It will allow the company to keep Jeep production moving, while giving laborers a break.
According to plant manager Chuck Padden in the Toledo Blade, full-time workers are regularly taking on 60 hours a week, and it's beginning to wear on them. "To get them more time off is important to us, to make sure they're refreshed, and can work safely," said Padden.
Chrysler has already hired 380 temporary, part-time workers for the plant, and 50 have been converted to full-time employees. The company is in the process of interviewing the rest of the new hires now and plans to have all 1,000 in place by the summer. They will work between 10 and 30 hours a week mostly on weekends for $15.78 per hour with limited benefits. The temporary positions will last "as long as demand continues for the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Cherokee," said Jodi Tinson, Chrysler spokesperson for manufacturing and labor communications, to Autoblog in an email.
