1965 Jeep Cj-5 Tuxedo Park Iv, Dauntless V6, Overdrive, Fresh Frame Off Restore on 2040-cars
Kempton, Pennsylvania, United States
This is an incredibly restored 1965 Jeep CJ-5 Tuxedo Park Mark IV, Dauntless Buick V6, 3 speed and overdrive. The overdrive can be used in any gear, giving you 6 forward speeds if you want them. Powerlock differential front and rear. I am the first titled registered owner since it's restoration was completed in 2012. It was then delivered to a dealer in Connecticut and then purchased by me. I've owned it over one year. The restoration was done by Gary Abby, a long time Jeep enthusiast in Shippensburg, Pa. Mr. Abby told me the following, that he purchased the Jeep from the original owners grandson in Chambersburg PA but the Jeep originally came from West Virginia. The mileage is said to be original. The restoration was done to 1965 1/2 specs with every available option. The Buick V6 is vintage correct, (being made as an available option in Aug 65) It is a 66 block but not original to this particular Jeep. This Jeep came with an I4 but was upgraded during its recent restoration. The transmission is the original T90 but rebuilt with a new gear set and top shifter. The gears are angle cut for easier shifting and were special ordered from California. It has a Husky-Warn type overdrive which I personally had rebuilt by Herm the Overdrive Guy this summer. With the V6 and overdrive, you have no problem doing 65 on the highway, then get to dirt and crawl along in four low. That's pretty amassing for a 65 CJ. The Top is an aftermarket dealer installed option. I prefer this top over the factory one because the doors come off on pins for summer use, and you don't have to remove the whole top. I've put about 300-400 miles on the Jeep, so it's had a good shakedown. There are no problems with this Jeep. I do not, however drive it any any inclement whether. My dad had one of these when I was a kid, hence my purchase, but I'd hate to drive in on our salted northeastern roads, it's just too nice to drive and mess up, so I decided to sell it. I'll consider up or down trades too. I'm mostly interested classic, vintage or special edition motorcycles, maybe also Pontiac muscle cars, 66-69 Buick Rivieras and classic rear wheel drive Cadillacs. No projects or customs. The hubcaps are said to be NOS, possibly worth some dough, but I'm not sure they're correct, or at least, I don't have the trim rings. I do have a restored matching rear jump seat, but this was not correct for the Tuxedo Park model which has padded wheel wells. You can install the rear Jeep seat if you want, but have to drill holes in a brand spanking new floor for a non-original seat. I did not do this. There also are more pix on photobucket. Search there for user dnaj11 or email me for link, or to make an appointment to see the Jeep. I'll be happy to send you or take more photos if you need them.

Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X finally on the way to dealers
Mon, Jun 1 2015After a brief pause, the Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X are on their way to dealers again. While initially reported as a software bug, the issue had nothing to do with the models themselves. According to a statement from FCA US to Autoblog, the "vehicles were built with an atypical Vehicle Identification Number that may not be recognized as valid by some computer systems." That problem has now been fixed. FCA US held the compact crossovers back from dealers until the company could rectify the bug. If the CUVs had been delivered, there would have been difficulty registering the vehicles, according to Automotive News. Before discovering the situation, about 20 of these Renegades were sold to customers. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne originally discussed the predicament in late May. "I'm having a very bad engineering day," he said. "It's a combination of attributes of that vehicle that is making my life horrible." While the boss predicted the problem would be fixed as late as mid-June, the company apparently got things working much quicker than that.

This VIN issue has been resolved. FCA US has been working with governmental agencies, insurers and financial institutions with whom customers may interact to ensure successful registration, financing and insurance coverage. Renegade and 500X vehicles are being shipped and are in stock at dealerships for purchase. The VIN issue is entirely separate from the operation of the vehicle.
You probably won't see FCA's famous Easter eggs on an Alfa Romeo
Thu, Nov 17 2016They started in Jeeps, with images of seven-slot grilles showing up on windshield edges, the text "SINCE 1941" appearing in the clear plastic of headlight units, and a relief map of Moab engraved into a rubber cubby liner. Then a Chrysler got a map of Detroit and the outline of Laguna Seca materialized near the Viper's window switch. We've come to call them Easter eggs, but Klaus Busse points out that they were never really meant to be secrets, just ways to dress up what he calls "dead plastic." He's nevertheless cool with the phrase being applied and likes the enthusiastic response these design details get. Busse is intimately familiar with many of them, having signed off on many of them in his time as head interior designer for FCA's US operations. He recently moved to Europe to lead Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Fiat design there, so when I caught up with him next to the new Stelvio crossover at the Alfa stand in LA, I had to ask: Are we going to see any of those neat design details in Alfas or Maseratis anytime soon? The short answer is no. But he didn't say it's out of the question. Busse said if, for example, a designer wanted to put an Italian phrase somewhere on a car that was in keeping with the brand, he would allow it. Although he didn't come out and say it, it seems like he might feel this type of fun design element isn't necessarily appropriate for a higher-end brand like Alfa. And I get that. But I'm still going to check all the compartments of that new Alfa crossover for a map of the Stelvio Pass.

FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand
Thu, May 14 2015Hopefully, some FCA US factory employees don't have big plans for the usual summer shutdown, because the automaker is keeping several plants running this year. Demand is so high that the company wants to keep models rolling off the assembly lines. Four FCA US assembly plants, all the engine factories, and some locations that build transmissions are staying open throughout the summer, according to the Detroit Free Press. Usually, these sites would see a two-week shutdown for the company to retool and perform repairs. This year, factories are staying open for FCA to support its strong sales. The lines that remaining humming through the summer show an inclination toward the automaker's popular SUV's and crossovers. They include the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango; Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico that constructs the Ram ProMaster; Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio that produces the Cherokee and Wrangler; and Toluca Assembly in Mexico that makes the Dodge Journey and Fiat 500.
