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!

Jeep burned down by new Samsung Galaxy Note 7

Thu, Sep 8 2016

A Florida family is out a Jeep Cherokee and a brand new cell phone after a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 left on a charger allegedly burst into flames on Monday and destroyed both itself and the Jeep. According to Fox 13, Nathan Dornacher and his wife Lydia were cruising garage sales in St. Petersburg, Florida on Labor Day with their daughter and their service dog. They stopped at home to unload a desk they'd purchased earlier. While they got the desk out of the Cherokee's hatch Nathan left his shiny new Galaxy Note 7 charging in the Jeep's center console. When the family went to leave again to run more errands, they were shocked to see that the Jeep's interior was engulfed in flames and thick black smoke was pouring out of the panel gaps. The St. Petersburg Fire department responded to the Dornachers', but it was too late for the Cherokee. The fire destroyed the vehicle, which was dearly loved by Nathan and heavily modified with aftermarket equipment. The Galaxy Note 7 has gained a nasty reputation for spontaneous combustion since its release in August. Samsung has recalled the phone in ten countries after thirty-five instances of Galaxy Note 7s catching fire or exploding for no good reason were confirmed. Fox 13 received a statement from a Samsung spokesperson after they reported the story about the Dornachers' poor jeep. "We are aware of the incident and we are working with Mr. Dornacher to investigate his case and ensure we do everything we can for him. Consumer safety is Samsung's highest priority. With regard to the Galaxy Note7, we are asking owners to take advantage of the Product Exchange Program announced on Friday of last week. The program offers Note7 owners the opportunity to exchange the phone for a new one. More details on the program can be found at http://www.samsung.com/us/note7exchange/."

Fiat Chrysler dumped 40,000 unordered vehicles on dealers

Thu, Nov 14 2019

In a move that echoes recent history, Fiat Chrysler has been making more cars and trucks than dealers in the U.S. are willing to accept, with Bloomberg reporting that at one point the automaker had built up a glut of around 40,000 unordered vehicles. That’s led some dealers to accuse FCA of reviving the dreaded “sales bank” accounting practice of obscuring inventory to improve the balance sheet. The company reportedly began building up its inventory of unordered cars this summer despite an industrywide slowdown in sales and an eagerness by some dealers to thin their inventories because rising interest rates are making it more expensive to hold unsold cars. The inventory build-up also coincided with Fiat ChryslerÂ’s efforts to find a merger partner, first with Renault, which fell through, then last monthÂ’s announcement that it will merge with FranceÂ’s PSA Group. FCA denies any such scheme and tells Bloomberg the rising inventory is down to a new predictive analytics system designed to better square supply with demand from dealers that is helping the company save money and narrow the numbers of unsold vehicles. The company recently agreed to pay a $40 million civil penalty to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to settle a complaint that it paid dealers to report fake sales figures over a span of five years. While no one is suggesting that FCA is in dire financial straits — the company saw higher than expected earnings in the third quarter and record profits in North America — the practice has strong historical precedent by Chrysler, which built up bloated inventories in the run-up to its two federal bailouts, in 1980 and 2009. It was also common at GM and Ford during the 2000s, when all three Detroit automakers struggled with excess manufacturing capacity and plummeting sales in the lead-up to the Great Recession. Back in 2012, CFO Magazine wrote about a report that explained automakersÂ’ rationale for the practice and how it works: Say fixed costs for a given factory are $100, and that the factory can make 50 cars. Consumers, however, demand only 10. Under absorption costing, if the company makes all 50 cars, its cost-per-car is $2. If it makes only up to demand, or 10 cars, the cost-per-car is $10. Although each car adds variable costs for steel and other parts, if those costs are low, the company still has an incentive to make more cars to keep the cost-per-car down.

FCA to recall nearly 900,000 vehicles that don't meet emissions standards

Wed, Mar 13 2019

WASHINGTON — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will recall 862,520 gasoline-powered vehicles in the United States that do not meet U.S. emissions standards, the Environmental Protection Agency said on Wednesday. The recall was prompted by in-use emissions investigations conducted by the EPA and in-use testing conducted by Fiat Chrysler as required by U.S. regulations, the agency said. EPA said it will continue to investigate other Fiat Chrysler vehicles that are potentially noncompliant and may become the subject of future recalls. The recall includes 2011-2016 Dodge Journeys, 2011-2014 Chrysler 200s and Dodge Avengers, 2011-2012 Dodge Calibers and 2011-2016 Jeep Compass/Patriots. Fiat Chrysler said in a statement the EPA announcement "has no safety implications. Nor are there any associated fines." "The issue was discovered by FCA during routine in-use emissions testing and reported to the agency," the company said. "We began contacting affected customers last month to advise them of the needed repairs, which will be provided at no charge." Its U.S.-traded shares were down 1 percent. "EPA welcomes the action by Fiat Chrysler to voluntarily recall its vehicles that do not meet U.S. emissions standards," EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a statement. "We will provide assistance to consumers navigating the recall and continue to ensure that auto manufacturers abide by our nation's laws designed to protect human health and the environment." Fiat Chrysler owners can continue to drive their vehicles, the government said. Due to the "large number of vehicles involved and the need to supply replacement components — specifically to the vehicle's catalytic converter — this recall will be implemented in phases during the 2019," the EPA said In January, Fiat Chrysler agreed to a settlement worth about $800 million to resolve claims by the U.S. Justice Department and state of California that it used illegal software to produce false results on Ran and Jeep vehicles. But that incident involved diesel engines. It is awaiting the outcome of a criminal probe. The hefty penalty was the latest fallout from the U.S. government's stepped-up enforcement of vehicle emissions rules after Volkswagen AG admitted in September 2015 to intentionally evading emissions rules.
