Here is your chance to get a good deal on a great classic car that is seeing more demand every day.  It has been in the family for a couple years now, and is my third one of these Wagoneers-but it isnt getting driven, and if you are aware of what not driving a carburetor fed 360 does to it you will know why I am selling it...they need to be driven at least weekly-and I just have too many cars here to do that, so I am selling this one and the truck I have listed.


So here is the good, the bad and the ugly:

The good-
Nearly new tires, probably less than 1k miles on them.
Rebuilt engine added 2 years ago and have receipt for the 1700.00 engine and work to replace it.
New Power Steering pump this past year.
Good strong runner, reliable and heavy duty SUV made of STEEL, not plastic.
Window in back gate works well (Rare)-as do all but the drivers window-more on that in the bad section.
Seats are all leather and UNTORN (Rare).
Glass is all in good shape.
Dash is in good shape
Air conditioning works-not great, but I have never charged it either.
Body is straight and relatively rust free-having been in Texas for a few years now.  Exceptions are rust I will detail in nest section and dented rear quarter that occurred in parking lot last year-bang and run.
Headliner in good shape
Faux wood trim and racks in good shape for their age

The bad-
This one has some body rust, and I have a pic of the worst spot-to restore or stop the rot will take someone with bodywork skills-and that goes with the next item
There is a picture of the quarter with the body damage.  Damned shame the person hit me because the body was ULTRA straight till that happened, other than the rust spot I have a pic of here as well.  Door still shuts and locks, but that quarter needs a pro to work it out.
The 4WD worked reliably for years, then just stopped.  Nothing happens when I hit the switch now, no indicator and no 4WD engage.  I am going to have a local mechanic look at it this week.  I will update listing with diagnosis.
The Drivers window doesnt work-I took the door apart, and its the white nylon toothed strip that draws it up and down broken where it attaches-motor still strong, frame and mechanics all good-just needs that strip replaced and good as new.
Passenger door armrest is off in picture from where I looked at it to compare the window workings-I will put it back on this week.  This door window is perfect.
Power locks are all in need of some WD40 and little care to work well-all work, just not strong enough.
Carpet is in bad shape in a few places as you can see in the pix, but its original and 98% is in good repair.  

The ugly-
It needs a wash and detail, the carpets will clean ALOT more, I spent 15 minutes on it with a shopvac is all-and I hope I get more time to clean it and detail it a bit so you can see how good the condition of the interior is.  I will wash the xterior as well, as it looks pretty dull and needs it but its raining here tomorrow and I wanted to get it online to get things started.

Paypal deposit of 500.00 within 24 hours, balance in cashiers check, cash or money order ONLY to pick it up.  I have clear title in hand, and am listing this with a reserve at the same exact amount I paid for it-even thought I have nearly 4k added with the engine and tires I bought.

Watch this listing for updates as I get it cleaner and get the 4WD diagnosed.

Thanks!

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award

Wed, Oct 12 2016

Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
