This does not come around often...say once every 40 years.    

This 1974 is completely factory original.   The paint is original as Toledo applied it, graphics, seats, windshield, body, engine....everything.      I spent months cleaning and polishing and detailing every part of this jeep to get back to showroom condition.   

I purchased this vehicle from the original owner in Missouri.   She was a widow of 33 years.    This jeep was her husbands and the couple owned a summer cottage on a lake just outside KC.   He purchased it new in Kansas City in 1974 and took it directly to their summer home.   There he put 22, 250 miles on the jeep until 1981 when after he had put the vehicle in the garage or the evening he had a stroke and shortly died.    The jeep was left in the garage for 33 years by his widow so as to preserve his memory along with all his other trappings.    

He took great care of this vehicle, just getting new tires on the vehicle in 1979 (white walls)   changing the oil, filters and plugs.  He placed vinyl labels indicating the date and mileage on the cowl and filters.   I surmise a rather anal guy who loved his chick magnet ride.  

When I purchased it:

  1.) I changed the brake Master cylinder, wheel cylinders and installed new brake lining and hoses because they were seized from non use and the fluid was like mud.
2.)   Installed a new fuel tank because I could not get the old fuel out.
3.) Sent the carb out to be rebuilt by American Carburetor, Inc  (no replacement parts, NOS original AMC gaskets and original tag with matching date that came with it)  It looks and operates like new.  
4.) Replaced the E-Brake cable because it was very stiff and hard to operate.
5.) Flushed the entire coolant system and installed new hoses.
6.) Replaces the fan belt
7.) Replaced the rubber fuel lines.   
8.) Complete compound, polish inside, under the hood etc.   
9.) Change all lubes in diff, engine, trans, transfer case and lube chassis.  


I have the original WHITCO top and Doors in white.   The top is in new condition because it was not on the vehicle at the time it was placed in the garage   Very clean and super original.   

The spare is the original Goodyear Polyglas Suburbanite.   With original aluminum wheels.   Whitco original spare tire cover was on it when I purchased.   

There are factory dates and part numbers on the frame that are clearly visible, and the stamped frame serial numbers match to VIN.

There is only surface rust staining on the floor.

The seats are original to this vehicle, soft and strong: are beige in color,   only one small 1" seam separation on the drivers seat.

The seat belts are new condition,   one set of the rear seat belts are still in the factory protective black bag the way they came from the factory.   Amazing!

The Engine fires immediately and runs very, very smoothly, with no leaks, clicks, pings.   

All Gauges work, lights, brakes, wipers, horn, turn sigs.   

The factory color is Mellow Yellow matches the tag.

Dodge revamping lineup with AWD Challenger and lighter Charger

Tue, Sep 6 2016

Dodge's current lineup is aging rapidly. The Charger, for example, is going on 5 years old but its platform dates back to 2006. FCA, according to Automotive News, is working on revitalizing Dodge's lineup with the first of some new models debuting later this year. The report reveals plans for the majority of FCA's brands, but the most interesting bit of information is an all-wheel-drive model for the Dodge Challenger, which is being referred to as the GT AWD. Mopar unveiled the Challenger GT AWD Concept at SEMA last year as a concept, but it looks like the idea stuck. The vehicle is set to make its debut this fall and will lead the way for a wide-body, Hellcat-powered version that will be released in 2017. That model will be called the Challenger ADR. The entire Challenger lineup will be redesigned in 2018, which includes switching over to the lighter Giorgio platform - the same one that underpins the Alfa Romeo Guilia Dodge will also redesign the Charger to accommodate the new Giorgio platform in 2018. A new two-door convertible could debut in 2021, resurrecting the Barracuda moniker. The aging Dodge Durango will get a light refresh in 2017 with the addition of an SRT model, which Automotive News reports will feature a 6.4-liter V8 engine. Other changes are in store for other FCA brands, including the debut of full-size crossover in 2018 for Chrysler, which will be followed by a midsize crossover in 2019. The Jeep Compass and Wrangler will get a redesign for 2017, with the Cherokee getting a light makeover, as well. The Wrangler-based pickup truck, which we recently spotted testing, is set for its debut in 2018, while the Wagoneer will come out a year later.

Chrysler recalls 88,888 Darts, Durangos, and Grand Cherokees for two separate issues

Fri, Nov 18 2016

Chrysler announced a pair of recalls for the Dodge Dart, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee. They're unrelated, as the Dart recall concerns windshield washer pumps, and the Durango and Grand Cherokee recall is for fuel rails. But, as Automotive News discovered, the number of cars involved in both totals up to 88,888 cars, which is rather bizarre. Breaking down the coincidental number, we first have 34,633 2016 Dodge Durangos and Jeep Grand Cherokees recalled because fasteners on the intake manifold can come into contact with the fuel rail on some vehicles. This could lead to a fuel leak, and a subsequent fire hazard. Chrysler believes only 30 vehicles will have this defect, but it's inspecting any that could have had the issue. The other part of the 88,888 cars recalled in total consists of 54,255 2016 Dodge Darts. The windshield washer pumps on affected cars could short-circuit the wiper system, disabling the wipers. Chrysler will notify owners of all vehicles, and will replace any faulty parts at no cost to the owner. Owners can also contact Chrysler's customer care center at 1-800-853-1403.
