1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited Sport Utility 4-door 5.9l on 2040-cars
Pasadena, California, United States
|
Jeep made about 15,000 of these vehicles during 1998 - and only during 1998. They sported a 5.9 liter V8 engine generating 245 horsepower and 345 foot-pounds of torque. They were the fastest SUV on the road that year. The 5.9 is still considered among the "best of the best" versions of Jeep ever made and is a collectible. The 5.9 was finished in only three exterior colors: white enamel, metallic gray and black metallic. Until very recently I owned all three (part of my collection). I just sold the 300,000+ mile gray one (owned since new) to my nephew. He loves it. I have the black and also the white one available for immediate purchase. (See my other EBay listing for the white one). I love these beasts but we are moving offshore. There's nowhere to store them for a long period of time that wouldn't cost a fortune. They should go to a good home - someone who understands their value and will take good care of them. This particular vehicle is non-modified (all factory original) outfitted with 5 Goodyear Wrangler HP tires with about 15% wear (this is the original tire that was mounted on the rim of this car from the factory). The air conditioning system is new OEM and works perfectly (cost about $2000 to replace). New shocks, brake pads and rotors were installed within the past 9 months. The vehicle is in excellent mechanical shape and has no cosmetic issues and zero rust. All fluids have been replaced on a regular basis. The vehicle is fully functional - including the ABS system, sunroof, Infinity radio, electric door locks, heated seats and gas sending unit in the gas tank. (I like cars that work). It has an OEM external spare tire holder and tow package. It even has OEM rubber floor mats and a rare cup holder insert! An American classic. I will sell both Jeeps on a package deal basis for $11,500.00 - and throw in a set of 4 extra OEM rims and a front and rear bumper. First come, first served. Or feel free to bid for only one of them. They are both in great shape and fun to drive. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Leave a phone number where I can reach you. |

Jeep Grand One and Quicksand Concepts lead the charge to Moab
Thu, Mar 30 2017Jeep's past, present, and future all share equal billing at the 51st annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab. We're suckers for vintage Jeeps, so the all-new Grand One Concept really stands out among the seven vehicles that make up Jeep's conceptual take on the off-road event. It's based on a 1993 Grand Cherokee in a slightly early celebration of the model's 25th anniversary. Exterior mods include custom fender flares for clearance over 18-inch wheels and 33-inch BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain KM2 tires, trimmed front and rear fascias and what FCA is calling a "subtle wood grain" splashed on the vehicle's bodysides. An extended wheelbase ought to offer a bit more room inside, and a two-inch suspension lift will help when the going gets tough. No alterations are mentioned to the vehicle's 5.2-liter V8 or 4-speed automatic transmission. The second most interesting concept for Moab is the Jeep Quicksand. It's clearly Wrangler-based, but instead of a traditional rock-climbing focus, this one's built for the sand dunes. Power comes from a worked-over Mopar 392 Crate HEMI engine topped with an eight-stack fuel injection system that peeks through the hood. A six-speed manual sends the ponies to all four wheels, but with a unique twist: 32-inch BFGs in the front and 37s in the rear in what Jeep says is its first application of staggered tire sizes on a concept vehicle. A Warn winch concealed in a vintage-style Moon tank at the front is the finishing touch. The Jeep Safari Concept is all about letting the outdoors in while keeping the elements out. A translucent hardtop and four aluminum and clear vinyl doors are the most obvious changes from stock, and two rear seats have been angled outward so that their occupants get a better view outside. Dana 44 axles and a two-inch suspension lift come from the Mopar parts catalog, but the roof-rack-mounted drone and dash-mounted iPad are custom one-off touches. Power comes from a stock 3.6-liter V6 and five-speed automatic transmission. Perhaps more intriguing than all the custom bits and baubles, though, are what appears to be next-gen Wrangler bodywork. Take a look at the kinked grille, the outer slats of which are pinched by the headlights, and the shape of the rocker panel between the front and rear door. No, this isn't exactly a 2018 Wrangler hiding in plain sight, but it's certainly a nod toward the future. Jeep's Switchback Concept looks to be a rolling Mopar parts catalog.
Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014
Thu, 10 Apr 2014While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
Marchionne wants to nearly double Jeep sales by 2018
Thu, Jan 15 2015Jeep just keeps breaking its own sales records. A couple of weeks ago, the off-road brand announced its worldwide sales exceeded one million units for the first time, marking its third consecutive global record and the fifth straight year of sales increases here in the US. But FCA isn't about to stop there. TheDetroitBureau.com reports that chief executive Sergio Marchionne, speaking to the media at the Detroit Auto Show, has announced a new sales target for the Jeep division: By 2018, he wants to see Jeep sell 1.9 million units in a single year, nearly doubling its all-time record. The expansion will surely encompass new products, with the all-new Renegade just warming up, a next-generation Wrangler on the way and a reborn Grand Wagoneer in the pipeline, as well. But the focus of FCA's preparations to reach the new target is on production capacity. While it's not clear whether the Toledo, OH plant where half of all the Jeeps sold around the world are currently built will continue to host the next Wrangler, FCA is expanding production overseas. The Renegade is already being built alongside the Fiat 500X in Italy, where another 1,000 workers are being re-hired and where another factory is set to start producing Jeeps, as well. A Renegade-based variant for the South American market will soon be built in Brazil, and by the end of this year, Jeep aims to start local production in China.
