Hi, For your consideration is my beloved 67 Jeepster Convertible. I bought this about 10 years ago from an old man in Southern California who owned it since the early 80's and drove it on occasion and always garage kept it. I have also kept it in the garage. I've recently sold a property that had a large garage and now must sell a few vehicles as I don't have garage space for all of them. Consequently, the reserve for my classic Jeepster has to be very reasonable to ensure it will sell. Bid to own this one. It pains me to sell after all these years, but it needs to have a continued garage spot. This model is extremely rare, with total production numbers around 2,300. This one is the cleanest, rust free example you will ever find, it has just over 100,000 original miles. There is no rust issue, anywhere. Ask for a pic of any area you want to see. Only clean factory metal with no rust in the seams, floors.. anywhere. It had most of its original paint on it when I bought it, there has been no collision damage ever. I have an additional 67 8701 Jeepster that I will include in the sell, if the bidding goes over $14K. I will describe it a little more at the end of the ad. Onto the details of this amazing Jeepster find. BODY/PAINT: Again, no rust issues anywhere. It is extremely strait. It spent its life in the city, so it wasn't coming into contact with rocks, trees, etc. The only body damage it had before it was repainted was where the hood had blown up at some point. This was repaired, but not as well as I hoped for. The paint job was a complete repaint, all jambs, floors and body panels were painted. It is a $3,000 "driver quality" paint job in the factory yellow.. It is not a show quality job. Looks great, and gets compliments non-stop. Most all of the weather stripping and window/door rubber has been replaced. I can't think of any that hasn't been. Doors open and close well, drivers door takes a little more effort. Windows roll up and down (including the rears). All locks work with the one original key, including the glove box. Body trim is present and in good original condition. Top was replaced at the time of repaint (4-5 years ago) and is high quality top with the double layer and glass rear window. Top goes up and down easily. It is a manual top. Underside is as clean as you could ever hope to find. INTERIOR: Interior has been completely redone as close to factory as possible. I have an old original brochure showing the interior, I let the upholsterer use this as a map/reference, counting the pleats etc. The passenger seat seems a little tweaked back, not sure why. Also, there is a small burn mark on the outer bolster of the passenger seat, this happened from a window that somehow focused light like a magnifying glass onto the seat while I was cleaning it one day! Carpet kit is custom and looks good, but it's not perfect. Dash has been recovered. New glove box. Door panels were fabricated to match originals and look great. I have the drivers door pull. I also have a pair of aftermarket rear fiberglass surrounds that are included, they need some work though. All lights and gauges work. Stereo face was broken and unit has since been removed. Only has non-functioning original stereo. I would add a vinyl shift boot around the shifter and a convertible top boot would be a nice finishing tough. MECHANICAL: This Jeepster is set up well. It has the 231 Buick V6 that was rebuilt years ago. It runs strong and is powerful. It has a Edelbrock intake and 4 barrel carburetor, starts right up hot or cold. The motor has been fitted with a pointless HEI distributor. I have installed a new water pump, alternator, belts, had the radiator rodded/cleaned and other recent service/tuneup work in the last year. The motor does not smoke, but does seem to use a little oil. Never runs hot. It has headers and dual exhaust. It is healthy and pulls strong up the hills. Clutch tends to shutter a little if you don't know the technique. It has been this way since I have owned it and I have no trouble driving without any shutter. No slippage and engagement is good. Transmission is a Muncie 4 speed. The old man said it was new when he put it in the Jeep. It shifts well and will cruise at 75mph no problem. The shifter comes thru the floor off the side a little and is as close to being in the way as possible without actually being a problem. It has a Warn overdrive unit installed that was working well when I bought it. It stopped working about 5 years ago. 3 years ago, I had Advanced 4wheel drive ( a local shop) try to fix it. I also had them do a major brake upgrade. It has disc brakes in the front ( I think its a Dana 30 axle) with a large power booster and large master cylinder. The brakes work better on this Jeep than any I have ever used on any Jeep. The previous owner did a steering box upgrade. The factory Ross steering boxes on these models were notorious for being incredibly sloppy and difficult to work on. It has a full size Jeep (wagoneer) steering box with power steering added. The turning radius seems a little short, but this makes the Jeep a pleasure to drive, and the brake upgrade make it safe. It had A/C installed when I bought it, I removed all the components but it will provide the new owner with them. The Jeep seems to leak a little oil from the underside area. I had the shop re-seal the transfercase and overdrive unit, this helped a lot, but I think the transmission adapter plate may be the area of some of the leaks. I top it off or change it every spring and don't worry about it.. If you plan to park this on your nice driveway, you will need a mat or want to look into sealing it up better. Electrical system is all operational. Fan blows, but does not blow hot. It has a professionally installed receiver and light hook up. Jeepster has a 3" lift obtained by re-arching and adding an additional leaf. Tires are 30" BFG AT's with plenty of tread and no dry rotting. Has a very nice stance. ADDITIONAL JEEPSTER! Thats right, I have an additional parts Jeepster or builder. It is a factory red 8701 model that has been fitted with a V8 years ago. I was told it was a one owner Jeep and that the old man who owned this one, was stripping it down to restore, he fail ill and died before completing. It hasn't been touched since the 80's. The good. It has an incredibly strait body with no body rust. The floors appear to have been professionally redone in the front and original in the back. All chrome pieces, including both bumpers and all window frames were re-chromed years ago, but never used. All chrome pieces still look great. It appears to be mostly complete, but is missing the fiberglass rear finisher and most of the side trim pieces. I wanted to build a V8 half cab deluxe with it. It does not currently have a title, but I have started the process of obtaining one and should be able to supply new owner with one. Please ask for more details. THIS PARTS OR BUILDER JEEP COMES WITH THE JEEPSTER, IF THE BIDDING GOES OVER $14k. BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ARRANGE AND PAY FOR ALL SHIPPING. SUMMARY: You can't find a cleaner chassis Jeep with no previous collision damage. This one is an amazing find with upgrades that were methodically executed. This makes for a much nice and enjoyable ride.. Much safer and reliable too. I have driven it less than 10 thousand miles in 10 years, but would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. I drove it home from Southern California when I bought it. Tough to find one this clean with practical upgrades. DISCLAIMER: IMPORTANT: I have tried to describe this vehicle as accurately and honestly as possible but please remember it is a used vehicle. As with any vehicle, (new or used) there may be issues that I have overlooked or am unaware of. If you are not familiar with purchasing used vehicles and or specialty vehicles or you have not purchased a vehicle using the Internet, PLEASE do your research, ask questions, make sure you are comfortable with me as a seller, the vehicle, and the process. Unless stated otherwise, I am not offering a warranty so if you want one, let's discuss it and document it before the purchase is final. Otherwise there is no warranty expressed or implied. I am always willing to help accommodate you in any way I can. I can pick you up from the airport.. I will even drive this to the airport for you to step off the plane and take a look. I can also meet with a 3rd party that you arrange and pay for if necessary. THANKS! |

VW, Rivian, Nissan, BMW, Genesis, Audi and Volvo lose EV tax credits starting tomorrow
Mon, Apr 17 2023The U.S. Treasury said Monday that Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, Rivian, Hyundai and Volvo electric vehicles will lose access to a $7,500 tax credit under new battery sourcing rules. The Treasury said the new requirements effective Tuesday will also cut by half credits for the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Rear Wheel Drive to $3,750 but other Tesla models will retain the full $7,500 credit. Vehicles losing credits Tuesday are the BMW 330e, BMW X5 xDrive45e, Genesis Electrified GV70, Nissan Leaf , Rivian R1S and R1T, Volkswagen ID.4 as well as the plug-in hybrid electric Audi Q5 TFSI e Quattro and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric Volvo S60. The Swedish carmaker is 82%-owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. The rules are aimed at weaning the United States off dependence on China for EV battery supply chains and are part of President Joe Biden's effort to make 50% of U.S. new vehicle sales by 2030 EVs or PHEVs. Hyundai said in a statement it was committed to its long-range EV plans and that it "will utilize key provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate the transition to electrification." Rivian declined to comment and the other automakers could not immediately be reached for comment. Treasury also disclosed General Motors electric Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV will qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit. GM said earlier it expected at least some of its EVS would qualify for the $7,500 tax credit under the new rules, including the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq and forthcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV SUV and Blazer EV SUV. Treasury said all GM EVs will qualify. Earlier, Ford Motor and Chrysler-parent Stellantis said most of their electric and PHEV models would see tax credits halved to $3,750 on April 18. Treasury confirmed the automakers' calculations. The rules were announced last month and mandated by Congress in August as part of the $430 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA requires 50% of the value of battery components be produced or assembled in North America to qualify for $3,750, and 40% of the value of critical minerals sourced from the United States or a free trade partner for a $3,750 credit. The law required vehicles to be assembled in North America to qualify for any tax credits, which in August eliminated nearly 70% of eligible models and on Jan. 1 new price caps and limits on buyers income took effect.
Jeep Liberty replacement takes shape
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Now that the Liberty has left us for greener pastures, it's time to start looking into the future of the midsize Jeep model. The next all-new vehicle for the off-road brand will be the SUV you see here, effectively replacing the Liberty, and not necessarily carrying on with that name.
From the sides, the prototype you see here sort of looks like a miniature version of the handsome Grand Cherokee, albeit with a bit more in the way of body sculpting. Up front, the seven-slat grille will be front and center, with completely revised headlamp designs that are reportedly angular and sweep well into the front fenders (you can sort of see what we're talking about in the side profile). That doesn't sound very Jeep-like, but we'll reserve judgment until we, you know, see the thing.
The bigger question with the Liberty replacement will be whether or not its off-road chops will be up to snuff. After all, the two previous generations of Liberty models were body-on-frame traditional SUVs, whereas this new Jeep rides on a larger version of the Dodge Dart platform.
Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
