I am listing this vehicle for a good friend of mine. It is truly a 2 owner vehicle beginning its life in the warm dry Arizona climate where it spent the vast majority of its life until 2007. It was purchased new in October 1957 for approx $2100. The gentleman who owned it kept it until his passing in 2004 and then his son took possession until 2007 when it was traded in for a muscle car at a dealership named Broom Auto in Scotsdale, Arizona. It was at this point my friend saw it online and just had to have it! This is how it ended up in Connecticut, until the present. The vehicle runs and drives out excellent. It starts flawlessly and all the gears shift and hold just as they should. The 4 wheel drive works perfectly, the motor was rebuilt before my friend purchased it at which point the odometer was reset to the 3306 miles that you see now. It seems that the original color was blue and it has had several repaints in its life. The undercarriage as you can see is very clean and has never been driven in the snow of Connecticut. It is remarkable how nice the original metal on the vehicle is with only slight repairs made to the front fenders before it was repainted. The vehicle has been gone through mechanically over the last several years. It has a new front end, exhaust, all new engine gauges, waterpump, a great heater and new wipers. The seats have been reupholstered upon their original metal frames and a new removable top and doors also have been added. There are new body mounts so the vehicle holds steady and true with minimal body noise. There are 5 brand new mud and snow tires mounted on original rims to complete the drivetrain. During the last 7 years in Connecticut it has only been driven on a few occasions, approx 50 miles to a summer camp in Otis, Mass at which point it was garaged until its return back home. This vehicle draws a crowd wherever it goes and is a blast to drive. If you are looking for an old school, 4 wheel drive that really defines the American frontier as it was conquered this is the Jeep for you! What is really cool is the tool box located under the passenger seat which is perfect. Every item on this Jeep functions exactly as it should without exception. The paint on the vehicle is not perfect nor should it be on a 56 year old Jeep. There are a few dings as you can see in the photos. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but we will assist to load. A $500.00 deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction ending. All funds must clear the bank before the vehicle is shipped. You will receive the original Arizona title and a Connecticut Bill of Sale. It is for sale locally and we reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time. If you feel you can give her a good home we invite your bids. Any questions please email me and I will respond quickly. Thanks for looking. Happy Bidding.

Fiat Chrysler wins top Total Quality Award for first time
Mon, Jul 20 2015The Strategic Vision Total Quality Awards are 20 years old in 2015, and Chrysler has never topped the awards before. Until now, that is. Fiat Chrysler takes the overall award on the corporate level with six segment leaders from Fiat, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. The Fiat 500 won Small Multi-Function Car, the 500e won Small Alternative Powertrain, the Dodge Challenger tied at the top in the Specialty Coupe category alongside the very un-coupe Mini Cooper Countryman, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited took the Entry SUV category, the Dodge Durango won in Mid-Size SUV, and Ram took the overall in Best Non-Luxury Brand. The accolade means FCA has gone from one segment winner in 2010 to overall victory in five years. Cars have gotten so good, says Strategic Vision, that it is harder than ever to win. In fact, says the group, 18 years ago 85 percent of all vehicle brands had more than half a problem per vehicle. This year, no brand has more than half a problem per vehicle. The organization measures "over 155 specific aspects of the customer's experience," and scores are based on input from more than 46,000 customers. Other notables in and near the winner's circle include Volkswagen and General Motors, who tied for second place on the corporate scale, one point behind FCA. The Mini Cooper Roadster scored the highest of any model, the Corvette Stingray Convertible and Coupe scored the second- and third-highest. The Chevrolet Colorado is the first domestic Standard Pickup winner in more than ten years, and the Nissan Titan carried the Full-Size Pickup category. The press release below has all the details on how winners and losers are selected, and the full list of automakers and how they finished. "The Customer's 'Total' Experience Defines Quality, Fiat Chrysler Scores Highest in Total Quality," says Strategic Vision The 2015 Total Quality Awards® SAN DIEGO, Friday, July 17, 2015 — Unknown to many, when some consumer research firms rank a car company's quality performance they often do so by simply "counting problems." In the past, this may have been acceptable, but in today's modern and efficient manufacturing world the difference between the worst brand and best brand is LESS than half-a-problem per vehicle. Thus, any "quality ranking" based on this method is severely lacking in the complete picture of the "Total" Quality experience that customers actually use to judge their product ownership.
Chrysler adding 200 jobs at Ohio Jeep Wrangler plant
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Chrysler is betting that the Jeep Wrangler will continue its strong sales surge as it continues to push the legendary brand out across the globe. The Auburn Hills automaker is reportedly adding 200 workers at the Toledo, Ohio plant that builds the Wrangler. What's more, those new hires will be at their posts quickly - they'll be on the job by April 1. Of those 200 workers, 130 employees will be there to relieve those who need breaks.
Why do they need so many relief workers? The Toledo Jeep Complex is currently working at a torrid pace with two ten-hour shifts. A third shift has been ruled out for the moment because of a production botttleneck - the plant's paint shop is already maxed out. According to Reuters, Wrangler production in 2012 cleared 200,000 units, and US sales were up by 16 percent.
Another part of the Toledo plant is presently down as Chrysler retools the line to build Jeep's divisively styled Liberty replacement, the Cherokee (seen in our gallery below). Production for the new model is scheduled to begin toward the end of May.
Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
