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!

Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season

Thu, Dec 9 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze.  The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.

Canadians build Jeep Wrangler out of cans for charity

Thu, Jul 2 2015

The Jeep Wrangler can do a lot of things. It can traverse most any terrain, take you to work, the kids to school, get you and your friends to the surf on time, and so on. Turns out it can also feed the hungry – or at least this one can. And by can, we mean actual cans of food. To celebrate Canada Day (which was Wednesday), Jeep recreated a Wrangler out of more than 4,500 cans of food. The project was undertaken together with Canstruction Inc, a charity that works to fight hunger and poverty, serve the community, and promote science, technology, engineering, and math. The full-scale replica took a team of teenagers a good 12 hours to build. It's being displayed at Vancouver's waterfront Canada Place during the festivities, after which it will be dismantled to provide 3,120 meals for the hungry through the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. This is the second such project we've seen FCA Canada undertake together with Canstruction. Last time it was a Dodge Grand Caravan created to celebrate the minivan's 30th anniversary. It was built out of 30,000 cans and displayed in downtown Toronto before being distributed as 2,000 food baskets through the Daily Bread Food Bank. Next time maybe we'll see a Viper or Challenger made out of cans on display in Montreal during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend and donated to the Old Brewery Mission, which this writer knows first-hand does good work to feed Montrealers in need.

YouTube tallies votes for this year's top five Super Bowl spots [w/video]

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

When we asked you to tell us which of this year's 16 car-themed Super Bowl commercials you liked best, you chose the Farmer commercial from Chrysler Group, advertising the Ram trucks, over Audi's Prom commercial in second place. Turns out the voters in YouTube's Ad Blitz poll agreed, voting the same commercial to the number one spot from among the field commercials in every category.
From there, however, they went in a totally different direction. Budweiser's The Clydesdales spot came second, Samsung's The Next Big Thing took third. The Jeep Whole Again ad scored fourth in the YouTube poll, fifth in our poll of auto commercials, and the Hyundai Team spot got fifth from the YouTubers, but ninth in our poll.
The voting results don't match up with the viewing numbers, though - while Farmer has more than 13 million views, The Next Big Thing is well beyond 21 million. You can read the press release below and see all five spots, lined up for you, one more time.
