1967 Jeepster Convertible 8701 Rust Free on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
|
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! |

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA
Tue, 08 Oct 2013The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
Jeep Cherokee sales rival Wrangler after two months
Sun, 29 Dec 2013In our First Drive article on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee we said, "our informal and thoroughly unscientific opinion is they're going to sell tons of them. Why? Because it is very good." So far, it appears the public concurs. Of course, it's very early - the new compact utility has logged just one month of confirmed sales, but Larry Vellequette at Automotive News says dealers have told him that the second month of sales will be even better, a message that mirrors what we've heard from company execs.
In its first, severely truncated month on sale, the Cherokee sold 579 units. With all of November to play with, though, dealers moved 10,169 of them - compared to 11,753 Wranglers and 14,798 Grand Cherokees. That helped propel Jeep to a 30-percent year-on-year improvement for the month, Chrysler Group to a 16-percent improvement and the group's 44th consecutive month of sales growth, exceeding analyst expectations in posting its best November numbers since 2007.
If it can just keep replicating the its first month of sales, the finalist in North American Truck of the Year voting will smoke the trade done by the outgoing Liberty, which didn't break 7,900 units in a month in the last four years of its life (and normally didn't get close to even that). In March this year, Chrysler said it wants to build 250,000 Cherokees in its Toledo assembly plant for global sales. It's early yet, but with second-month sales quoted as being as "strong as death," the bookies might be resetting the odds.
NHTSA upgrading Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango headliner fire probe
Wed, 15 Jan 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into headliner fires experienced by a small number of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners has been upgraded to an engineering analysis, the step before the initiation of a recall. In August last year the investigation began with 146,000 Grand Cherokees from 2012 after three complaints were received, but a report on Edmunds says it has been expanded to include 593,299 vehicles covering the 2011-2013 model years for the Jeep and the Dodge Durango, which uses the same headliner assembly, because of possibly 52 incidents of fire.
In some of those incidents drivers have reported a burning odor, smoke or open flames that were contained to the headliner or migrated to another area of the passenger compartment. The culprit has apparently been found: NHTSA blaming an electrical short in the sun visor vanity light wiring, which is routed under the headliner and held in place by three screws. Chrysler began its own probe into the issue when it was first reported and is still looking into the situation while, "fully supporting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation."
