Here's your opportunity to own a rare 1980 Jeep Cherokee Wide Track Sport Utility 2-Door with 258 CU 6 Cylinder Engine and T 176 4 Speed transmission. This Jeep only has 26,300 original miles!
This beautiful Jeep Cherokee is a one owner vehicle and has never been driven out of the county where it was originally purchased. It even comes with a copy of the original dealer's invoice sticker. It has always been garaged (not actually stored in a barn with farm animals :) and hay !). The body on this Jeep is absolutely 100% rust free! It has original factory Ziebart undercoating. It has been strictly driven for pleasure. You will be amazed at the condition of the paint and interior! You might think this is a showroom model or a six month old Jeep. There are only a couple of blemishes which you will want to have redone if you want this Jeep to look like brand new. Like all original Jeep Cherokees and Grand Wagoneers of this vintage, it needs a headliner. There are some minor scratches on the inside of the tailgate (see photos). The rear bumper needs re-chroming due to some pealing in places and the chip guards on the rear wheel well flares need to be replaced or clear coated due to some minor road rash. (When wet, they disappear, so clear coating may remedy the scuffing). The original AMC white spoke wheels could be re-painted but actually show quite well. The tires are the original BFG's it came with. They have lots of tread but naturally, there is some cracking on the sidewalls due to their age. The running boards are the original AMC Jeep running boards and are in like new condition. The rear window is heated and works perfectly!
The 6 cylinder engine purrs like a sewing machine and the transmission shifts perfectly. It has its original radio (no CD or MP3 of course).
This beauty has all of its original flooring which is in amazing condition as is the original vinyl upholstery. There are no chips or cracks in the glass. Chrome is beautiful except as noted regarding the rear bumper. 
(Please inspect all high resolution photos for a complete description).
If you are looking for a really low mileage vintage Jeep Cherokee, you have just found it! This Jeep is that cream puff you've been looking for! 
As you know, these don't come on the market often. 
The photos say it all!

New England Patriots player helps driver of rollover crash

Tue, Jan 20 2015

Winning the AFC Championship game to guarantee a spot in the Super Bowl would be a pretty major accomplishment for most people in a day. However, just hours after the victory, New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork showed what he could do off the field, when he helped save a woman from an overturned car. Though, the player remained modest about what happened. Wilfork and his wife were driving home late at night when they spotted a flipped Jeep near Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. Surveillance video showed Wilfork pulling over and running to the vehicle's aid to be among the first on the scene. Finding a woman trapped inside, Wilfork told her, "Don't panic," and according to Massachusetts State Police, the 325-pound player simply reached his arm into the vehicle and lifted the woman out to save her. She was later charged with driving under the influence. Hear Wilfork's description of what happened in the video above.

Feds chastise Marchionne over Jeep recall, only 13% repaired so far

Sat, Nov 22 2014

Following the significant outcry surrounding the General Motors and Takata airbag safety crises this year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration seems to be taking a much more aggressive role in pushing owners to repair their recalled vehicles. In the agency's latest move, it's urging Jeep drivers to get their models fixed. Acting NHTSA administrator David Friedman even sent a letter to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne pressing him to get more of the SUVs fixed. The problem goes back to the recall of the 2002-2007 Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee because of the possibility for the fuel tank to rupture in some rear crashes. The campaign affected over 1.5 million vehicles, but Chrysler initially refused NHTSA's request for a repair campaign. The automaker eventually came up with a fix that involved adding a trailer hitch to provide extra protection to the tank. The feds believe the danger "will be reduced by the remedy now offered by Chrysler," according to the statement. However, this latest push comes out of NHTSA's concern that only three percent of the affected vehicles are repaired, although Chrysler maintains some 13.4 percent have actually been fixed. The agency is asking the automaker to reach out to owners "proactively," and get them to bring the Jeeps in dealers. According to the the feds' statement, the company "has nearly 400,000 parts available" to perform the fixes, and it's still producing more. Friedman's letter to Marchionne goes even further, alleging NHTSA has received reports that dealers are turning customers away who request the recall. He asks the CEO to prove within 15 days that these claims are false. "Given the low rates of repair that Chrysler has reported more than a year after the recall, significantly more aggressive steps are required," says a portion of the note. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler has subsequently promised to speed up the recall work, vowing that all dealers will have at least 12 repair kits in stock by Monday. Further, it has announced plans to ramp up its notification campaign with Facebook ads and public service announcements. Scroll down to read NHTSA's full statement on the matter, and Friedman's letter to Marchionne can be read in PDF format, here.

Chrysler axes old V6s, goes all-Pentastar

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

Old technology has a way of lingering on, particularly at Chrysler headquarters in Auburn Hills. So while the Pentastar V6 has replaced the older engine architecture in just about every application, it still soldiered on in some export markets. But the introduction of a new 3.0-liter Pentastar V6, produced in Michigan and meant only for the Chinese market, has put the final nail in the old engine's coffin.
Fitted into the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Wrangler just introduced to China at the Chengdu Motor Show, the downsized six uses the same architecture as the larger 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. But because of its 2,997cc capacity, it can be exported to China without the increased duty the 3.6-liter or even 3.2-liter Pentastar engines would incur. The 3.0-liter V6 develops 230 horsepower at 6,350 rpm and 210 pound-feet at 4,400 rpm.
Admittedly, it's unlikely, but even though the engine was said to be created solely to undercut tax thresholds in China and Europe, the 3.0-liter Pentastar has recently surfaced in rumors of an application here: as the boosted heart of a potential Cherokee SRT with anywhere from 375 to 410 hp.
