You are bidding on a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. I found this little beauty in a covered shed on a farm near my home in central New Mexico.  From what I understand it had not been used in nearly 20 years which I guess qualifies as a barn find.   I am no expert but I’ll give you my opinion on the condition.  It appears to be in what I consider very good condition. The “Go Devil” 4 cylinder engine has great oil pressure, runs great with no smoke and appears to be very happy.  The transmission shifts and shows no signs of jumping out of gear (it is missing the shift knob). The 4 wheel drive seems to be operating properly.    It has been converted to 12 volt and has a new battery and rebuilt starter.  The cooling system seems to be in good shape. The body is in good condition. Note the diamond plate that has been put on the floor and rear fender wells. It looks to have been professionaly done.   The seat looks to be of the original type but is not permanently mounted as it will need to be upholstered.  As seen in the photos the steering wheel isn’t original.   The seals in the transfer case and differential covers are leaking but some old timers say that’s from sitting and will slow down as the seals swell.  That appears to be correct.  The throw out bearing is growling but that to seems to be getting better as it is driven.  The tires have a lot of tread but are very old and not road worthy. The chassis has had some repairs over the 66 years but looks pretty darn good.  The frame rails behind the front bumper have had the reinforcement plates added (hence the reassigned VIN).   Restore it or enjoy it. Bottom line is it’s not perfect but several knowledgeable people have told me this is one of the best they have seen in years. This isn’t a rusty piece of junk.  It has a reassigned VIN & clear New Mexico title in my name. This Willys Jeep is located in Los Lunas, NM approx 20 miles south of Albuquerque. You’re the experts so ask questions before you bid.  I have a low reserve.  Winning bidder to pay $500 non refundable deposit within 24 hrs of auction end via paypal, balance due within 7 days.  Buyer is responsible for shipping.  Vehicle will not be released until my bank is satisfied that funding is complete.  Good Luck   venner@aol.com

Chrysler set to make $266M-investment into 8-speed transmission production

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Chrysler will shortly make a significant $266-million investment into its Kokomo, IN transmission factory in a bid to expand production of its eight-speed automatic transmissions. The gearboxes, which are built under license from Germany's ZF Friedrichshafen, have been well received by customers and critics, and according to an SEC filing obtained by Automotive News, the transmissions will eventually find their way to all of Chrysler's rear-drive offerings (Viper and heavy-duty Ram models, aside). According to AN, a Chrysler spokesman says the investment has not been confirmed, but once it is, it'll mark the company's latest in a growing line of investments at the facility. Chrysler has poured $1.5 billion into Kokomo since 2009.

2014 Jeep Cherokee musters 22 MPG city, 31 highway

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Production and media drive delays included, there has been no lack of press surrounding the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. With the most recent delay reportedly due to powertrain calibrations, we've been waiting to see how the Cherokee's fuel economy looks against the highly competitive compact CUV segment. Thanks to the EPA, we now know the fuel economy figures for the newest member of the Jeep family.
Arguably, the Cherokee has the most modern powertrain in its class with an updated base engine, all-new V6 and all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, but its fuel economy figures are simply on par for the segment. Still nothing to scoff at, though. According to fueleconomy.gov, front-wheel-drive Cherokee models with the base four-cylinder mill will top out the lineup with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway; opting for four-wheel drive with this engine drops the figures to 21 city and 28 highway. Get even crazier with the option list, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 will get you 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive form or 19 city and 27 highway for 4WD.
If you're wondering how that stacks up among compact CUVs, head on over to Automobile Magazine for a full fuel economy breakdown for the segment. The controversially styled crossover hits dealers this month, and we'll be driving it in just a couple of weeks.

Chrysler recalling nearly 141k vehicles over electrical woes

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Software glitches that randomly illuminate warning lights and cause instrument cluster blackouts are forcing Chrysler to recall 140,800 vehicles, The Detroit News reports. The automaker is recalling 132,000 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, 91,559 of which are in the US. In addition to the Jeep recalls, Chrysler is adding 10,800 2014 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks to the list for similar problems.
Chrysler reportedly says, "Both events occurred infrequently and appeared to resolve themselves by tuning the vehicle's ignition off and then on."
Engineers discovered a problem with the anti-lock-braking system software that causes the instrument cluster display of the Grand Cherokee to illuminate warning lights and black out - even its ABS and electronic stability control systems are affected. To fix the Jeeps, Chrysler will update the vehicle's software.
