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!

Stellantis reports record margins, $7B profits despite chip shortage

Tue, Aug 3 2021

MILAN — Automaker Stellantis on Tuesday said it achieved faster-than-expected progress on synergies and record margins in its first six months as a combined company, despite suffering 700,000 units in lower production due to interruptions in the semiconductor supply chain. The company Â— formed from French carmaker Peugeot PSAÂ’s takeover of the Italian-American company Fiat Chrysler Â— reported net profit of 5.9 billion euros ($7 billion) in the first half of 2021, compared with a loss 813 million euros during the same period a year earlier, which was impacted by the coronavirus restrictions around the globe. Shipments rose 44% to 3.2 million units, while revenues rose 46% to 75 billion euros. Â“We are very pleased with the speed with which the new team has begun to execute as one company, as Stellantis,Â’Â’ Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer told reporters. Semiconductor shortages accounted for 200,000 units of production losses in the first quarter and 500,000 in the second quarter. Semiconductors are used more than ever before in new vehicles with electronic features such as Bluetooth connectivity and driver assist, navigation and hybrid electric systems. Stellantis achieved 1.3 billion euros in cost savings in the first half, mostly by sharing investments in new technologies and platforms, which Palmer said was a faster rate than initially forecast. It aims to achieve 80% of the targeted 5 billion in cost savings by 2024. Â“These synergies allow us to continue to invest in the electrification strategy, which we talk about every day,Â” Palmer said. Stellantis, which lags competitors in rolling out electric vehicles, plans to launch 21 fully electric or plug-in gas electric hybrid vehicles over the next two years. North American posted record profitability on global sales of Ram trucks and the strong launch of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which was the best-selling plug-in gas electric vehicle in the United States in the second quarter. Stellantis was the market leader in South America and second in Europe. The results were presented on a pro-forma basis, taking into account the performance of each of the carmakers as separate entities during 2020.

Jeep pickup confirmed, will be built in Toledo

Tue, Jan 12 2016

Finally. In 2011 Jeep CEO Mike Manley said, "It is too late in Wrangler's product cycle to add a pickup. The 2015 or 2016 time frame makes more sense," when the next-generation Wrangler is due. A year later, Manley told an Australian outlet that a decision on a Jeep with a bed would come "pretty soon." Now, The Detroit News reports that the decision has been made, and it's a "Yes."A Wrangler-based truck is expected to arrive in 2017, sometime after the launch of the next Wrangler. And it'll be built in Toledo next to its sibling. Those desperate for a carry-all Wrangler have been able to buy Mopar's JK8 conversion kit for the past four years. Frankly, even though the Jeep Gladiator concept (pictured) is now 11 years old and the JT concept is nine years old, we think either one of them could roll off the line in a year and be welcomed with hosannas. This year's New York Auto Show will also be the site of the reveal of the compact SUV that will slot in between the Renegade and the Cherokee, built on the Renegade/Fiat 500X platform and replacing both the Compass and Patriot. Derided by many, in the US the two aging CUVs still sell terrifically well - they both hit records here last year. One of them will live on in name, the new SUV to be called either Compass or Patriot; the former name is bigger in international markets, the latter name gets more recognition here. That show is when we'll also get Fiat Chrysler's updated five-year plan that will take us through the presumed end of CEO Sergio Marchionne's tenure at FCA.
