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!

Here are all the vehicles sold by the 12 brands of the Fiat Chrysler PSA merger
Fri, Dec 20 2019Sven Gustafson and Ronan Glon contributed to this report. Whether or not the formal merger between Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and European conglomerate PSA Group means the return of Peugeot to the U.S., one thing’s for certain: The combined company will have a truckload of different brands. Sorting out what the deal means for all of them, including where they are sold and built, and whether and where there is product overlap, will be a key question for the two companies as they formalize the merger over the next 12 to 15 months. So far, both sides have steadfastly insisted that no job cuts or plant closures will result from the tie-up. WeÂ’ll see about that. In the meantime, weÂ’ve compiled an alphabetical list of all the vehicles currently sold in Europe and in North America by the various FCA and PSA brands, along with the years they debuted. We've gone into more detail about the European vehicles you might be less familiar with. The joint empire also has an antique store's worth of heritage-laced models and dormant brands, like Plymouth, Imperial, Simca, and Panhard, and it would have been even bigger had FCA not spun off Ferrari in early 2016. Alfa Romeo A legacy Italian sports car brand with roots in racing, Alfa Romeo has been struggling with declining U.S. sales. Giulia (2015): AlfaÂ’s rear-wheel drive sports sedan competes against German luxury sedans in North America and Europe. 4C (2013): The lightweight mid-engine rear-wheel-drive sports car is being phased out. Stelvio (2016): The Stelvio is a small luxury performance crossover that competes against the likes of the Porsche Macan and BMW X3 and is sold in both Europe and North America. Giulietta (2010): Sold in Europe, this compact hatchback is AlfaÂ’s entry-level model. After initially planning a rear-wheel drive 2020 update, the Giulietta is reportedly being nixed as part of FCAÂ’s latest product plans. Â Chrysler Despite lending its name to its parent company, questions abound about the future of this legendary but faded brand, which is not offered in Europe. 300 (2011): Despite rumors of its pending demise, the four-door sedan lives on mostly unchanged for the 2020 model year, at least. Pacifica (2016): The successor to the Town & Country is ChryslerÂ’s bestselling model by a long shot and comes in gas-only and plug-in hybrid versions. Voyager (2019): ChryslerÂ’s newest minivan launches as its entry-level minivan for the 2020 model year.
Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.
