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!

Put a mustache on your Jeep this Movember for charity

Wed, Nov 2 2016

Move over Lyft drivers, Jeep is getting in on the automotive mustache game. And it's for a good cause. The company announced that for the month of November, it will sell giant, bushy, black mustaches for Jeep vehicles through the Jeep Gear website and at dealers. The mustache is made by Carstache and costs $49.99, with all proceeds going to the Movember Foundation. The foundation supports improvements in men's health, and takes its name from the trend of growing mustaches in November. We would also like to point out that the product description says you shouldn't drive over 40 miles per hour with the mustache in place. So keep the 'stache wearing to your own face when traveling at highway speeds. Now if you don't have a Jeep on which you can put a mustache, well, you could probably put it on whatever car you have since it installs with some rubber-coated wires that thread through the grille. But if you really want a Jeep with a mustache, the company is running a contest in which you can post a photo of your mustache to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #JeepStacheContest for a chance to win a new Renegade. The winner will be the entry with the most creative, original and high-quality mustache. This contest is also an opportunity to help out Movember Foundation a little bit more. Jeep will donate $1 for every post with the hashtag "#JeepStache" up to $15,000. The contest runs until November 30, as does Jeep's donation program. Related Video:

Fiat-based baby Jeep spotted testing in US and Europe

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

Details remain scarce, but our spy photographers have managed to capture the upcoming Jeep B-segment crossover for the first time, testing in both the Alps and in the US. Shown here as a cobbled-together Fiat 500L mule, the new Jeep model is expected to arrive for the 2015 model year and act as a replacement for the current Compass and Patriot models.
According to our shooter, the new "baby Jeep" will share a platform with the Fiat 500X, and both models will be built on the same assembly line in Turin, Italy. We can't tell much from these images, but the added length apparent on this 500L mule would seem to dispel the recent speculation that the new entry-level Jeep model would be sized closer to the Ford Fiesta - since the 500L is already considerably larger than the Fiesta. Powertrain options will likely mirror other Fiat/Chrysler collaborative vehicles like the Dodge Dart, but this Jeep will also try to live up to its off-road roots with an optional all-wheel-drive system.
