1964 Jeep Wagoneer 4x4

A running project, this 1964 Jeep Wagoneer has a chevrolet small block installed with two barrel rochester carburetor.  The rest of the drivetrain consists of a T-86 three speed manual floor shift transmission, Dana 20 transfer case, and Borg Warner R10 (Rancho) overdrive.  The overdrive is attached on the rear driveshaft only and will only function in two wheel drive.  A larger than stock gas tank was installed at some point, but otherwise the rest of the chassis is stock.  This jeep is all manual (no power steering, no power brakes, no power windows).

Recently, the radiator was thoroughly cleaned (top tank removed, rod tubes, re-solder, leak tested, and painted).  Other new parts:

  • Radiator hoses/heater hoses
  • Clutch master cylinder
  • Fuse block
  • Battery, battery cables and hold down
  • Fan Belt
  • Fuel filler hose
  • Fuel filter
  • Air Cleaner
  • Rebuilt carb
  • PCV, valve cover gaskets, PCV hose

Engine: 

The engine is a Chevrolet small block with deck suffix XCB (service replacement CE0A02T), the cylinder heads are late 60's double hump castings.  I have found different information for the XCB code and it is either a 327 or a 350, but I don't know for sure.  It is mounted to the chassis using a Hurst motor mount; this engine was installed in the late 1970's according to a previous owner.  The engine runs well, sometimes a little puff of oil smoke when it starts.  Exhaust exits through ram's horn manifolds and dual glasspacks.  The exhaust system is old and not very pretty underneath, but does not have any noticeable leaks. 

Transmission:

The transmission is a rebuilt T86 three speed, however the reverse gear does not work.  This transmission was rebuilt by a gentleman in the Bay Area and was installed by myself, I have pulled the top cover on the transmission and could not find any obvious internal issue why reverse does not work (the shift fork was engaged, the gears appear to be in perfect shape although I cannot see the cluster gear to verify its condition).  First gear does work, which is the same sliding gear as reverse (although reverse goes through the reverse idler).  I would assume that the transmission needs to be removed and disassembled to fix this issue.  The previously removed T86 comes with the jeep as well, although it is in very poor shape and I would assume that the only good part on it is the case and top plate.

Body: 

The body has some rust as shown in the pictures.  Part of the floorboards have been replaced (drivers side foot well), but the same spot on the passenger side needs to be replaced as well.  There is also some rust along the edges of the floorboards near where they meet the body.  The area behind the rear wheels needs to be replaced on both sides of the vehicle, and on the drivers side the area above the wheel has some small holes.  On the roof, there is some rust in the drip rail on the front and back of the roof on both sides.  It does not appear to go through the roof, on the drivers side only it was ground down to bare metal and was not through.  There are some small bits of rust showing on the edge of the windshield gasket.  Lastly, the area above the tailgate hinges has some rust.  The only filler (bondo) that I can see on the body is in the tailgate.  Another early tailgate is included, although it has other issues including a crease and bullet hole (but no rust).  The extra tailgate also has the glass and winder mechanism.  There is an extra set of bumpers that come with the truck as well.  Two of the doors hinges are tight and will need some attention (maybe new pins).  All doors and latches function.

Interior: 

 The interior needs to be completely redone.  At some point, a later model interior was installed as shown in the pictures.  Included is two rear seats (one early and one later model one) and one front bench seat (early model), there are door panels which are all late model.  The window winder mechanism on the drivers side works, but the splines are damaged and will need attention.  The headliner needs to be replaced and there are not any carpets.  The dash is complete, but needs to be disassembled and repainted.  Another heater control panel in very nice shape is also included.

Other:

The front axle is a dana 27, the rear is a dana 44.  There are some unknown brand of locking hubs on the front axle, it has four wheel drum brakes.  The wiring needs to be finished, a new fuse block was installed and some of the engine wiring was redone, but the majority of work still remains.  When I acquired this jeep it had an electrical short and a lot of poor add-on wiring which I have completely removed, I did my best to keep the majority of the existing harness there.  The tires have tread, but are cracked from age.  There is a scratch on the front windshield where something got under the wiper blade on the passenger side. 

Extras:

As previously mentioned, an extra tailgate, rear seat, transmission, bumper, heater control, and set of 4 centerline wheels are included.  There are a few minor small parts that also come with the jeep.  I will also offer a Muncie M20 transmission with adapter to Dana 18/20 transfer case and hurst shifter/linkage for an additional $500 on top of the auction close price to whoever purchases the Jeep if they would like it.

Please note that this is a project car, and while I have done my best to accurately describe the condition there may be some small items that I missed.  In-person inspection is recommended.  Buyer is responsible for shipping, if required.  $500 Deposit due within two days of auction close.  Lastly, I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk

Mon, 13 May 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.

For his last act, Marchionne will outline an EV/hybrid roadmap this week

Wed, May 30 2018

MILAN/LONDON — Fiat Chrysler (FCA) boss Sergio Marchionne is expected to outline new plans for electric and hybrid cars in a strategy presentation on Friday, aiming to ensure the world's seventh-largest carmaker remains in the race in the absence of a merger. The 65-year-old will present FCA's strategy to 2022, his final contribution to the company he turned around and multiplied in value through 14 years of canny dealmaking. After failing to secure a tie-up he said was necessary to manage the costs of producing cleaner vehicles, Marchionne needs to show the group can keep churning out profits on its own, even as emissions rules tighten, SUV competition intensifies and worries around his succession abound. Marchionne had long refused to jump on the electrification bandwagon, saying he would only do so if selling battery-powered cars could be done at a profit. He even urged customers not to buy FCA's Fiat 500e, its only battery-powered model, because he was losing money on each sold. But Tesla's success and the need to comply with tougher emissions rules have forced Marchionne to commit to what he calls "most painful" spending. "FCA is way behind rivals in terms of hybrid and electric vehicles and they need to hit the accelerator to convince investors they can close that gap," said Andrea Pastorelli, a fund manager at 8a+ Investimenti. Germany's Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW and U.S. rivals GM and Ford have committed to spending billions of euros each in coming years to try produce profitable cars powered by cleaner fuels. FCA needs to present a clear roadmap, just like Volvo Cars, which ditched diesel from its best-selling XC60 SUV, launched a new electric brand and pledged to shift all brands to hybrid by 2019, a banking source close to FCA said, noting: "The tech divide determines winners and losers in the industry." Marchionne has already said half of the wider FCA fleet will incorporate some elements of electrification by 2022, while luxury marque Maserati will spearhead FCA's electrification drive by making all new models due after 2019 electric. But its plans remain vaguer and less advanced than most big rivals and some investors wonder about the capital required to make vehicles compliant, and what share of spending can go to electrification given FCA's numerous demands.

Jeep's new Chip Away commercial has us hunting Al Pacino's back catalog

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
Centering around the newest Grand Cherokee model, the luxurious $47,995 Summit trim level, the commercial shows off some of the hand-stitched leathers and real metal and wood accents found inside the cabin. Check out the new 60-second spot by scrolling below.
