Unrestored Original, Everyday Driver on 2040-cars
Dorr, Michigan, United States
|
1973 Wagoneer with Quadra-Trac full time four-wheel-drive, the odometer reads 13,XXX miles and I can not be sure how many times it has turned over in 40+ years. This wagon has a 360 ci V8, factory air conditioning (needs to be charged),and a power rear window that does work with help. The underside and frame are clean and free from rot. The photographs show any areas that need attention on both the interior as well as the exterior but here is a list:
There is surface rust on the flat surfaces of this vehicle but it is not rotted through, it is more of a "patina" some might say. There does not appear to be any filler in the body, all of the chrome and stainless bumpers, emblems, and trim are in great, rust-free condition and all there. This Jeep starts, runs, shifts, and drives great, it is a pleasure to drive and is dependable as an every day vehicle. This would provide an excellent foundation for a restoration or can be driven in its original state. I believe that I have listed everything to the best of my knowledge, please ask questions and I will provide additional photographs if requested. This is an as-is no reserve auction, the buyer is responsible for shipping/transportation. This is a 40+ year old vehicle that has not been restored, please look carefully and ask questions. Should there be winning bid, please contact me within 24 hours of the auction's end to make arrangements, I am willing to work with anyone on the details. |

NHTSA closes investigation into Jeep Liberty fires
Sun, 16 Mar 2014The investigation that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened into the Jeep Liberty in October 2013 has been closed. NHTSA received two (!) complaints about fires starting in the driver's door, thought to be caused by the master power window switch. The initial estimate was that 80,000 Libertys could be roped into a possible recall, but according to a report in the Detroit News the agency examined records for 425,000 Chrysler products that used the same window switch, including the Dodge Nitro and Chrysler Town & Country minivan.
After canvassing 265 warranty claims related to the master switches, NHTSA concluded that the rate of fires compared to the "large population of vehicles" was rather low, and that there was no trend pattern behind the few issues it did find. Perhaps with that, and the closure of the trailer hitch investigation, the Liberty can finally rest in peace.
Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk
Mon, 13 May 2013Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.
Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
