1989 Jeep Wrangler Yj With Factory Hardtop on 2040-cars
Year:1989
Mileage:195
Location:
Cedar Falls, Iowa, United States
|
This is a 1989 (25 years old) Jeep Wrangler YJ with a factory hard top and 194,500 miles on it. It starts, runs, drives, brakes and works but it does have some issues which I’ll list below.
I bought it earlier in the summer as a “clean up & sell” project and I’ve been working on it off and on since purchasing it. I found out today (Tuffy did an inspection for me) that it has a crack in the exhaust manifold (estimated repair rated 4.5 hours labor by the pros). It also could probably use an oxygen sensor as the sensor is reacting to the cracked manifold and causing the engine to run somewhat rich with fuel through the carburetor.
It has a carburetor (straight-six, 5-speed manual) so for all you young people or old folks (like me) who forgot what driving a vehicle without fuel injection is like, it runs differently than modern cars. You have to warm it up before you drive it and (as mentioned) it’s running a little rich right now because of the oxygen sensor/manifold leak.
The clutch and throw-out bearing were replaced 100 miles ago. It had a complete oil/lube/filter at time also.
This Jeep has been in Iowa (I think) all 25 years so it has some rust. There is some on the frame (not terrible, but there) a couple of holes in the body (some open, one poorly repaired) and some that is just “surface” rust. There is a dent on the right/rear panel and a weld repair on the left front fender.
This Jeep rolled out of the factory painted white. The previous owner painted it Army olive green. I painted it red (rattle can, over-the-counter from Advanced Auto) over two coats of primer so the paint looks good but is nothing special.
The windshield has a large crack on the passenger side. All gauges (except the clock) work. Wipers work. All lights work. The heater/defroster works. It has all of the components of factory air but that does not work. It does have power steering that works well. There is factory carpeting throughout. All seat belts are present. The rear door works well.
It has four all-season snow tires on it that have about 90% tread left. The wheels are American Racing mags. Front shocks are near-new.
The factory hard top can be removed in 30 minutes (or less) and there is factory roll bars (padded). Take the doors off and you are in a basic Jeep. (I have factory mirrors for the non-roof option of driving). The rear window works and latches. The doors open and close securely. All door glass is present, unbroken and the windows roll up/down smoothly. Two panels of the hardtop glass have been replaced with Plexiglas and they are scratched.
It has an Alpine stereo/CD with a Bose speaker system that works well.
The title is clear and in my name so transfer can be immediate upon payment. There are no liens on the Jeep.
Payment is to be received within seven (7) calendar days after the auction ends. Only two forms of payment are acceptable. Either a Cashier’s Check (drawn on a major bank like Wells Fargo, etc.) or a USPS Money Order (no other brand acceptable).
I want it gone within 10 days of the end of the auction.
I make no warranty, expressed or implied. I’ve told you all I know about it. I hope I’ve covered everything I’ve found out about it but I haven’t owned it long enough to be sure.
Be sure you understand this Jeep has some issues so that you don’t waste your time or mine. Read the description carefully, look at the photos and decide. If you have 10 or fewer positive feedbacks email me before you bid as a courtesy to let me know you are serious. Otherwise, I will cancel your bid. Sorry for the “hardcore” attitude but I’ve been burned on eBay before. It’s not fun. |

Editors' Picks September 2021 | Genesis GV70, Grand Cherokee L and more
Mon, Oct 11 2021This month of Editors' Picks saw us award the honor to a few top-notch crossovers and SUVs, plus one luxury sportback. Manufacturers keep rolling out excellent new crossovers, and the Genesis GV70 and Jeep Grand Cherokee L are great examples. Plus, living the good life with our long-term Hyundai Palisade has been evidence enough that it's worthy of an editors' pick. Read on below for the full breakdown and see what made the cut for September. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in August that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 Genesis GV70 2022 Genesis GV70 at Mt St Helens View 37 Photos Quick take: Genesis' first shot at a compact luxury crossover is a strong one that moves the segment forward and makes for an excellent alternative to one of the many other established options. Score: 8 What it competes with: BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, Audi Q5, Lexus NX, Acura RDX, Volvo XC60, Lincoln Corsair, Infiniti QX50, Porsche Macan Pros: Gorgeous looks inside and out, forward-looking tech, good ride and handling balance Cons: Nothing budget about it, no true performance option From the editors Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — "Blending style and power, the GV70 shows Genesis is serious about delivering a strong execution in a critical segment. Props to Genesis for its risk-taking design, which has remade its lineup with confidence. The GV70 is just the latest in a series of wins for Genesis." In-depth analysis: 2022 Genesis GV70 First Drive Review | The real deal  2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L View 35 Photos Quick take: The 2022 Grand Cherokee L is inarguably immense, swank, and much better on-road than the previous SUV. It even keeps up the Jeep tradition of being great off-road while still carrying tons of passengers and gear.

Jeep rear-mounted fuel tank controversy
FCA CEO Mike Manley will take undefined new role after PSA merger
Wed, Dec 18 2019MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Mike Manley will remain with the new group set to result from a planned merger with French rival PSA-Peugeot, Chairman John Elkann said on Wednesday. In a letter to Fiat Chrysler (FCA) employees on the day the two companies announced a binding agreement for a $50 billion tie-up to create the world's fourth-largest carmaker, Elkann said he was "delighted" that the combined group would be led by current PSA CEO Carlos Tavares. "And Mike Manley, who has led FCA with huge energy, commitment and success over the past year, will be there alongside him," he said. He did not say what position Manley would hold. Elkann — who will chair the new group — said there was still much to be done to complete the merger. "Over the coming months we must work tirelessly and determinedly to fulfill all the approval requirements needed to finalize the commitment we have signed," he said.
