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!

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

Jeep Wrangler's shift to aluminum could see production leave Toledo

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

The Jeep Wrangler may be a timeless design, but sooner or later, time will run out and Chrysler will have to replace it with a newer model more friendly towards the earth it's designed to traverse. That will, it seems, mean a shift to aluminum construction (whether just for the body or for the entire structure) - but what will that mean for the Wrangler's long-time home of Toledo, OH?
According to the latest pronouncements from Fiat Chrysler chief Sergio Marchionne, the shift to an aluminum Wrangler would likely mean moving production out of Toledo. "If the solution is aluminum," Marchionne told Automotive News, "then I think unfortunately Toledo is the wrong place, the wrong setup to try and build a Wrangler, because it requires a complete reconfiguring of the assets that would be cost-prohibitive."
Marchionne also indicated that, were Wrangler production to move elsewhere, it would find another line to take its place in Ohio. "One of the thing that we are dealing with now is what else we do with Toledo that fulfills our commitment to the city and to Ohio. I don't have a doubt that there will be zero impact on head count and employment levels and anything else." Jeep has built the Wrangler in Toledo since World War II, with the exception of six years starting in 1986 when it was built in Brampton, Ontario. The complex dates back to 1910 and currently produces the Wrangler and Cherokee. Past products have included the Wagoneer and Commanche as well as the Dodge Dakota and Nitro.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.
