Excellent Mechanical Condition. Brand New Howell Tbi Fuel Injection. on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
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.
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. |

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Some background: one of the more scandalous international incidents of he-said/he-said from 2012 was when Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld put the Jeep Grand Cherokee through its "moose (or elk) test" and reported that the SUV nearly rolled over. That lead to a whole lot of accusations and rebuttals: more than one website and Chrysler's own blog reported that the Jeep was overloaded; Chrysler said Teknikens printed the magazine then let Chrysler respond, Teknikens answered all of the charges in a lengthy post and said Chrysler was given a chance to comment before it went to print; when Chrysler sent investigators to oversee the test and the Jeep didn't go up on two wheels as it did in the first test, furthermore all four wheels stayed on the ground when Auto Motor und Sport tested a Grand Cherokee in the same way.
Teknikens then re-ran the test with a new vehicle and said it's been doing this test since the 1970s, uses the loading information that Chrysler provides to the Swedish motor authority and the previous Grand Cherokee passed with no problem. In the second test, the Jeep failed again, then it gave Chrysler engineers access to the car's electronics and ran the test again. In that second round the Grand Cherokee didn't repeat the lurid two-wheel action, but in eleven runs it blew out front left tire seven times. Chrysler still objects to the results of all of those tests and maintains that vehicle was safe.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee was given its shot at the gauntlet in the latest round of moose tests, and Teknikens Varld reports that it passed without any problem at all, its stability control working perfectly, controlling motion at low speeds and all the way up to 44.1 miles per hour. You can watch the video of the new test and read the press release from the magazine on the updated Grand Cherokee below.
