We will be offering a few vehicles in the coming weeks and are starting with this 1977 Jeep Wagoneer: it has 82,976 Miles on the clock (the Odometer and Speedometer ACTUALLY WORK, though Clear Title is listed as Exempt - due to year - but photos also show a new 360 V-8 Engine with Edelbrock Cam/Intake, installed only a few years ago; along with new Holley Carburator and MSD Ignition). You be the judge of what you'd like to do to it next.
The photos show a truck perfect for beach cruising - exactly what we use it for - and is a real head-turner: the rust is real, we consider it a patina and a testament to the personality of the truck, and with the newer engine it really has a Rat Rod appeal! Note it has the Tag and Current Registration - it is insured - WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK regularly, and it serves us well and has been driven over 100-Miles at certain stretches during our few year ownership, you are not looking at a "barn find" in the traditional sense AND YOU CAN DRIVE THIS HOME. I wouldn't dare gaurantee concours-like perfection and you are still buying as-is, BUT, there is much that works where this truck is concerned:
- New Starter installed just last year (and NEW Gas Gauge was also installed at that time)
- Brakes work on a dime, and we've certainly put them to the test with this barreling heavy beast!
- Blinkers and light covers have been replaced.
- All-Weather JEEP Floormats in the front
- KNEE FREEZER Jeep OEM Air Conditioning works VERY WELL. All cosmetics are in-tact, there are no buttons to replace, only 2 roll-up window levers are missing in the rear seats (but your surfboards and cargo should not mind this; nor does it effect the rear passengers who seem to smile when in the back-seat of this unique peace of Americana anyway)
- All 4 Good Year Wrangler Tires match - with matching wheel covers - were purchased just last year and show how much tread is still left on these great wheels.
- Brand-New Windshield means no digs or cracks in the glass!
- Rear Power Window works everytime, and is perfect for loading longer items - transported 5 bookshelves from IKEA just 6-months ago.
What would I change or address if keeping it? The window seals, and some of the surface rust, its not air tight - which is fine for car-port storage, dry-days, and especially for the beach cruising - but no one wants the ocean in their car. Get those seals replaced, and save the "homemade wood panel" interior trim. Also it has Quadra-Trac 4WD, but I misplaced the hoses, you may want this feature, we never needed it - 2WD was/is fine - and we never towed anything with it anyway...
I am not a mechanic, and my speciality is actually foreign automobiles, but I will do my best to answer any questions not contained in this dialog or the pictures - would be happy to do so - and encourage inspections and test drives: likewise, we hosted an Estate Sale recently where this Truck was parked locally, it generated ALOT of interest so we decided to offer this first of other cars to be listed later - but this one has been parked in a new backyard, the birds are not being kind to it, and I would hope someone will save it soon (accordingly I reserve to end the Auction early to local buyers who make an offer I can't refuse)
1 Update: I showed the car this evening (01/30/2013 - 9:15PM EST), I don't typically drive the car after dark (and we discovered the headlights do not come on, for now). All the other lights/blinkers/tail-lamps/brake-lights/etc. work, and a further test shows the new Sylvania headlamps are functioning and will illuminate - just not when pulling the connection on the Wagoneer dashboard - I would be remiss if not adding this note, considering!

Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014
Mon, Dec 22 2014With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.

Marchionne says no offers are on the table for Fiat Chrysler
Sun, Sep 3 2017MONZA, Italy (Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler (FCA) has not received any offer for the company nor is the world's seventh-largest carmaker working on any "big deal", Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne said on Saturday. Speaking on the sidelines of the Italian Formula One Grand Prix, Marchionne said the focus remained on executing the company's business plan to 2018. Asked whether FCA had been approached by someone or whether there was an offer on the table, he simply said: "No." The company's share price jumped to record highs last month after reports of interest for the group or some of its brands from China. China's Great Wall Motor Co Ltd openly said it was interested in FCA, but had not held talks or signed a deal with executives at the Italian-American automaker. The stock move was also helped by expectations that the company might separate from some of its units. Marchionne reiterated on Saturday that FCA was working on a plan to "purify" its portfolio and that units, such as the components businesses, would be separated from the group. He hopes to complete that process by the end of 2018. "There are activities within the group that do not belong to a car manufacturer, for example the components businesses. The group needs to be cleared of those things," he told journalists. Asked whether an announcement could come this year, Marchionne said it was up to the board to decide and that it would next meet at the end of September. He said the time was not right for a spin-off of luxury brand Maserati and premium Alfa Romeo and the two brands needed to become self-sustainable entities first and "have the muscle to stand on their feet, make sufficient cash". "The way we see it now, it's almost impossible, if not impossible, to see a spin-off of Alfa Romeo/Maserati, these are two entities that are immature and in a development phase," he said. "It's the wrong moment, we are not in a condition to do it." He said the concept of separating the two brands from FCA's mass market business made sense and did not rule out this happening in future, but not under his tenure, which lasts until April 2019. "If there is an opportunity in future, it would certainly happen after I'm gone. It won't happen while Marchionne is around," he said.
Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks
Mon, Feb 19 2018The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans — climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator — the one so popular that Ford will increase production — crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.
