You are bidding on an excellent, rust-free and very well-maintained '76 Wagoneer in un-restored, good running condition. It is factory equipped with the famed AMC 401 V8 engine, the TH400 transmission and Borg Warner Quadra-Trac transfer case. I purchased it from the prior owner in Bend, Oregon and drove it down to Los Angeles over a year ago with the intention of restoring it and upgrading and modifying it to a more modern condition. We've spent the past year working on making it a mechanically sound and reliable daily driver - which we've accomplished.

Below is a list of the improvements and modifications we've made:

Howell TBI Fuel Ignition: This was purchased new and installed with in the past 2 months. Kit purchased for $1,400. CA emissions legal.
MSD Pro Billet Distributor: Installed within past 2 months. CA emissions legal.
MSD Street Fire CD Multi-Spark Ignition Box and MSD Blaster 2 Coil: Installed within past 2 weeks.
Edelbrock "Performer Series" Intake Manifold: Brand new. Installed within past 2 months.
Newly upholstered bucket seats and rear bench: Black vinyl and heavy-duty Sunbrella® outdoor plaid fabric.
New front brakes: Pads and rotors.
New radiator and fan shroud.
Rebuilt steering box.

Good Stuff and Extras: Jeep alloy rims with hubs. Working electric rear window. Original and fully functional roof rack. Full size spare. Tires have plenty of remaining tread. We worked a lot to stop any fluid leaks. It's now 90% leak-free, although there is a slow and tiny oil leak. Everything on the dash is fully functional (except for the clock). Carpet is relatively new. Repair manuals, including factory service manual. I also have the original front bench seat and many extra parts that the prior owner had sourced (e.g., extra instrument panel, door panels).

Known Issues: As an original condition vehicle, a bidder should understand that it is not without it's flaws and that there are further improvements which can be made. It's a work in progress. We started by making improvements and repairs to the drivetrain. The paint is in its original condition, and is faded has a healthy patina. There is no rust damage. There are minimal and insignificant amounts of surface rust on the hood and roof where the paint is diminished. The car needs a headliner (see photo). We treated the bare metal on the inside of the roof with Aluthane aluminum paint to stop any surface rust. The door panels need restoration. No radio or sound system. No AC.

Overall: This is a great rig for the right buyer - someone with a passion for these muscly, even beastly, American classics and who's interested in either a clean daily driver or something to restore and modify. I've enjoyed working on it, but have decided to switch my focus to an 80's 4x4 project (so, I need the funds). I'm certain that I've invested more money in this car than I'll get back from its sale. So, the winning bidder will definitely start out with a lot of value for their money.

Odds and Ends: Winning bidder responsible for shipping. I'll help facilitate for sure though. Car is in Los Angeles - contact me to see or drive it. $1,000 due upon winning bid (within 24 hours). Thanks!

Jeep Renegade to show off new Mopar gear in Detroit

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Jeep's adorable new Renegade is arriving in the US market soon (we're looking forward to driving it in a couple weeks), and to highlight that fact, the American off-road brand is trotting out a pair of Mopar-modified compact CUVs for the 2015 North American International Auto Show. Rather simply, Jeep has modified one Renegade to show off its prowess in the city, and another that plays up the crossover's off-road abilities. Despite their different purposes, both vehicles show off Mopar's parts catalog and Jeep's Authentic Accessories lineup for the new baby Jeep. The Urban Renegade borrows uses a Renegade Limited with Anvil paint as its base and draws from the Accessories catalog, adding a number of Omaha orange accents and satin black wheels. Mopar donated a bike-hauling trailer hitch to the rear of the Renegade, while its cabin features Katzkin leather-lined seats. Once again, Omaha orange accents brighten up the Limited's cabin. As for the off-road model, Mopar got a bit more involved, starting with the Renegade Trailhawk and adding satin black wheels with Colorado red trim and X-shaped graphics, borrowed from military jerry cans, to the Commando Green exterior. A number of prototype and one-off body mods were fitted to the Trailhawk, including a concept skid plate, rock rails and a new rear valence. Inside, Katzkin leather was applied to the Renegade's seats while the Omaha orange accents from the Urban Renegade have been replaced with Commando Green bits and bobs in the off-road model. Look for more on these new Renegade twins come Monday, when we hit the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Until then, check out the official press release from Mopar.

Hank the Autodog takes a ride in the long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee

Wed, May 13 2015

Autoblog readers, meet Hank, my 40-pound, six-year-old Shar Pei and Staffordshire Terrier mix, a combination also known as a Pit Bull. Pit Bulls and car enthusiasts have a lot in common. They're a little intimidating to your average man on the street, but at the end of the day all they want to do is feel the breeze in their ears. Dogs who love car rides are the ultimate enthusiasts, and Hank especially is a canine connoisseur of cars. There is nothing Hank likes more than to hop in and go for a ride. With an owner like me, he has developed refined tastes when it comes to cars. As our long-term Jeep Cherokee is about to leave the Autoblog Garage, and since the weather is warming back up, it's the perfect time to give our Autodog one last spin in his favorite Jeep. We wanted to see what a car ride looks like from a dog's perspective. Luckily, we have a cache of GoPros and plenty of cars on hand to give Hank one last chance to go for a window-down ride. After many pets, treats, and drives around town, we put together this video montage of Hank's best day ever.
