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!

What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."

EV cost burden pushing automakers to their limits, says Stellantis' CEO Tavares
Wed, Dec 1 2021DETROIT — Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said external pressure on automakers to quickly shift to electric vehicles potentially threatens jobs and vehicle quality as producers struggle with EVs' higher costs. Governments and investors want car manufacturers to speed up the transition to electric vehicles, but the costs are "beyond the limits" of what the auto industry can sustain, Tavares said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference released Wednesday. "What has been decided is to impose on the automotive industry electrification that brings 50% additional costs against a conventional vehicle," he said. "There is no way we can transfer 50% of additional costs to the final consumer because most parts of the middle class will not be able to pay." Automakers could charge higher prices and sell fewer cars, or accept lower profit margins, Tavares said. Those paths both lead to cutbacks. Union leaders in Europe and North America have warned tens of thousands of jobs could be lost. Automakers need time for testing and ensuring that new technology will work, Tavares said. Pushing to speed that process up "is just going to be counter productive. It will lead to quality problems. It will lead to all sorts of problems," he said. Tavares said Stellantis is aiming to avoid cuts by boosting productivity at a pace far faster than industry norm. "Over the next five years we have to digest 10% productivity a year ... in an industry which is used to delivering 2 to 3% productivity" improvement, he said. "The future will tell us who is going to be able to digest this, and who will fail," Tavares said. "We are putting the industry on the limits." Electric vehicle costs are expected to fall, and analysts project that battery electric vehicles and combustion vehicles could reach cost parity during the second half of this decade. Like other automakers that earn profits from combustion vehicles, Stellantis is under pressure from both establishment automakers such as GM, Ford, VW and Hyundai, as well as start-ups such as Tesla and Rivian. The latter electric vehicle companies are far smaller in terms of vehicle sales and employment. But investors have given Tesla and Rivian higher market valuations than the owner of the highly profitable Jeep and Ram brands. That investor pressure is compounded by government policies aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union, California and other jurisdictions have set goals to end sales of combustion vehicles by 2035.
