I purchased this super rare jeepster convertible in Maui a couple months ago.. I own one in slc Utah and am familiar with what I have and what I am offering for sale. I have been touring around the island with it for the last few weeks.. It has been a lot of fun. Extremely low production production numbers (less 3,000 built) make this one of the most collectible, nostalgic jeep models in existence.. This one is is an original California vehicle that was repainted once with its original desirable color combinations, red and white. It was garaged and pampered by its previous owner on the island. It does have a small amount of rust, lower rockers and a small spot here and there. Not a rusty island car.. Still looks like a California car. 

Body/Paint:
Nice older restoration.. I would estimate the paint is at least 10 years old, but was done well.. Not a cheap $599 special.. Looks flat and smooth looking down the sides.  Paint color looks correct.  Paint is nice "driver" quality.. Not fresh show ready. Has several imperfections and areas with light wear. Underside looks solid. I wouldn't say it's completely "rust free".. But it is solid and looks great. I can take any detail picture you may want from my iPhone.

Interior:
Complete, original interior.. Looks like the seat upholstery has been redone in original style and pattern.. Carpet and door panels are good, minor attention to the panels needed. Top was likely replaced at time of paint and is in good working condition.. Not new, but has some life left. Rare Fiberglas rear panels are present and intact. 

Mechanical:
Jeepster is in great running and driving condition.. Motor makes good power and does not smoke. Transmission shifts as it should. Suspension feels great, especially for a 45 year old jeep! Really drives well for what it is.  It does need some light tlc, as to be expected for a vehicle of this age, but nothing known that is urgent. All electrical works, but temp and horn are intermittent.  Windows roll up and down (rear 1/4 windows too).

Summary:
A rare opportunity to own a true #8701 Jeepster convertible in the desirable red/white color combo. Vehicle is currently registered in Maui and in this auction I agree to pay shipping to Oakland or long beach ca.. Seattle port may be a possibility too.. BUYER TO ARRANGE AND PAY ALL SHIPPING FROM PORT.  VEHICLE MUST BE PAID IN FULL VIA WIRE/BANK TRANSFER, BEFORE VEHICLE IS DELIVERED TO THE SHIP YARD.  APPROX TIME TO FOR VEHICLE TO TRAVEL ACROSS THE PACIFIC IS 10-14 DAYS.  

I have kept my description limited due to the fact I'm listing this from my phone. I encourage any serious interested buyer to call me at 801-897-1822 for more info.  Hawaii time is 4 hrs behind pacific time zone. Thank you. Jason

2014 Jeep Cherokee facing production delay

Fri, 17 May 2013

Jeep's bold-faced new direction spearheaded by the 2014 Cherokee is facing some teething issues. According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, production start-up of the controversial new utility vehicle at its Toledo North facility is running about a month behind schedule "due to a wide range of issues." That's according to Mark Chernoby, senior vice president of engineering at Chrysler.
Chernoby maintains that the issues being encountered aren't unusual for the launch of a new vehicle - particularly one with a new powertrain - and he downplayed the delay, telling Jeep dealers that they "will have ample inventory of the midsize SUV by fall." Among the kinks being worked out? Calibrating the Cherokee's cutting-edge ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and refining assembly line tasks to make the process more efficient.
Chrysler expects to start building retail-ready versions of the Cherokee around mid-June, with official sales slated to start in September.

Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.
