For Auction is a 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.  This Jeep is in great condition for a 26 year old vehicle.  It lived its whole life in Colorado.  It looks and drives great.  The reserve price is reasonable.

Mechanically, the Jeep has been gone through top to bottom.  It recently passed strict Colorado emission testing with flying colors.  All of the original emission control equipment is intact and functional.  The engine is strong and starts easily.  The 4 wheel drive and cruise control work as they should.  The transmission shifts smoothly.  The Jeep drives very well.

The interior is in great condition.  The leather seats are not torn.  A/C blows ice cold.  All power windows including tailgate were recently serviced and work well.  Power seats work perfectly.  Power door locks are sometimes a little sticky but work well.  The headliner is sagging but not torn.  The carpet in the rear cargo area is torn in the corners.  The power mirror switch is faulty.  The windshield wiper system is "sticky" but works fine.

The exterior looks very good,  There is almost no rust except for two small spots as shown in the pictures on the front fender and rear quarter panel.  The wood surround is in very good shape for the age, the paneling has some peeling. The paint is fading on the left side and the clear coat is peeling on the roof and some other areas. The frame and under-body have virtually no rust. 

Many new parts were recently installed for the following systems:
Emissions:  A California compliant catalytic converter (over $400), carbon canister, EGR valve, PCV valve, special curved PCV hose, miscellaneous vacuum hoses.
Suspension: Rancho shocks, steering stabilizer, transmission mount.
Cooling: Water pump, thermostat, radiator hoses, heater hoses, heater core, fan clutch, used radiator with low miles.
Fuel system: Fuel pump, accelerator pump, fuel filter, misc fuel lines.
Ignition system: spark plug wires, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, ignition coil, battery.
Engine mechanical: drive belts, valve cover gaskets.
Trim: Outer window wipes, and inner tailgate wipe.
The transmission fluid and filter were recently serviced, as well as differential fluids, and front wheel bearings.

There are some issues to be expected on a 26 year old vehicle.  The engine and transmission do have minor leaks as could be expected on a vehicle of this age.  It will need a muffler soon, all other exhaust components are in excellent condition.  The tires are "out of round" from sitting but still have 90% tread.

I have been as thorough as possible in the description, so a potential buyer can bid with confidence.  I believe that this is a very nice example of  these classic Jeeps.  It would be a great candidate for a complete restoration, or just driven as is.  It should have no trouble passing safety or emission inspection in any state. 
I recently drove this Jeep from Colorado to Connecticut, over 1500 miles and wouldn't hesitate driving it across country again. 

A $750 dollar deposit via paypal will be required within 48 hours after the auction ends.  Remaining balance in cash or certified check or bank transfer. During regular business hours at a local bank.
Any bidder with less than 5 feedback must contact me before placing bids.
The Jeep is located in Old Saybrook, CT.  Local pickup only.  I will consider driving the vehicle a short distance if buyer wishes to arrange and pay for shipping, and payment is complete.  All arrangements must be made before conclusion of auction.

Additional pictures are available.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.  Thank you and happy bidding.

Mopar teases four of 'nearly 20' SEMA Show concepts

Fri, Oct 23 2015

Yesterday it was Chevrolet. Today, Mopar has dropped some SEMA knowledge, releasing a quartet of teaser images that give us some indication of what kind of cars, trucks, and crossovers Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram will be showing in Las Vegas. Like Chevy, Mopar's concepts utilize both production and concept accessories, although Fiat Chrysler has gone a bit more indepth on at least one of its concepts. Immediately, the most tantalizing teaser is the one shown above. Yes, that's the back of a Challenger, and aside from the bright orange accents on the gray body, you should take notice of the badge mounted on the spoiler – yes, that says "GT AWD." To be honest, such a vehicle wouldn't be a huge shock, as both the Challenger's LX platform-mates, the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300, are offered with all-wheel-drive options. Still, adding such a vehicle to the production cycle would give Dodge a leg up on the rear-drive only Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. Aside from that concept, FCA has also released teasers of a Ram-based concept, a 300-based concept, and what we're guessing is a Fiat 500X. We can't wait to see what the actual Fiat concept has to do with kiteboarding. As for the 300 and Ram, there's not a lot of hints on what sort of styling details they'll contain. The Chrysler has additional LED accents and what we're guessing is matte blue paint, while the Ram is based on a Hemi-powered 1500 with Rebel styling cues. This is just a very tiny sample of Mopar's final SEMA roster, which include "hundreds" of parts. There should also be a total of 20 vehicles covering all four former Chrysler Group brands, as well as Fiat. Naturally, we'll have plenty to report on each vehicle once the SEMA show kicks off in the next couple weeks.
