Jeep Cherokee 2-dr Wide Track on 2040-cars
Boone, Iowa, United States
I am selling my 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief Wide track. The vehicle is not running. I replaced the intake manifold and carburetor about a year and a half ago with an Edelbrock performer intake and 600 cfm carburetor. Ever since, I have not been able to get it running other than briefly and roughly. I don't think I got all of the hoses and stuff connected back up correctly. I am pretty sure it just needs someone who knows these engines to get it working. It has the AMC 360 V-8 in it. It is not the original motor. The motor turns over fine when the battery is charged but it will not run. The paint job is about 4 years old and is not professional, but it looks decent when it's washed. There are some small dings, dents, scratches, and chips.
I have owned the vehicle since the early or mid 90's. It has sat in the garage a lot over the years. I would start it occasionally or pull it out to wash it, up until I replaced the manifold. It has the T-400 transmission and Quadratrac transfer case with the low range shifter. The axles are both Dana 44, not sure on the gearing anymore. It has a 3" add a leaf on the rear and 33x12.50x15 A/T's. The tires are old but they hold air good and have lasted along time. All of the glass is in decent shape. The chrome trim still shines. The seats are in decent shape, but there are some tears in the backs of the seats. There is no carpet or headliner in it, but it still has insulated mat on the floor. The dash in decent shape. There is no stereo or speakers. I don't think the fuel gauge works anymore. I have replace the front door seals and the roof rack seals. It still needs the rear door and window seals. Also, It does not have the rear window motor. As for rust on the vehicle, there is some minor surface rust on the underside of the roof from the rack leaking years ago and small area on the passenger side rear fender flare. The rocker panels are solid and the front fender wells are solid. This vehicle is originally from the Pacific Northwest and has never driven on the salted Iowa winter roads. I have also undercoated the frame and fender wells several times over the year to prevent rusting. This has been my baby for years and I hate to see it go, but we are going to be relocating back to the pacific northwest and I do not want to haul it across the country. I always had big plans for it, but if I had the time, then I never had the money. I am hopeful that someone will get to fix it up and use it like I always wanted to. Feel free to contact me with specific questions or if want specific pictures taken. The buyer is responsible for picking up the vehicle at my residence within 7 days of the end of the auction unless other arrangements are agreed upon between Seller and Buyer. Any shipping arrangement are the buyers responsibility. The buyer will pay a $500.00 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of the end of auction. The remainder of balance shall be paid in cash within 7 days of the end of auction. The highest bidder at the end of the auction is responsible to uphold the contract of purchasing the vehicle. As/Is No Warranty on Vehicle. I have more pictures upon request. The pictures are from this past summer when I pulled the vehicle out and washed it. I can send you pictures of how it sits in the garage. |

Here are all the vehicles sold by the 12 brands of the Fiat Chrysler PSA merger
Fri, Dec 20 2019Sven Gustafson and Ronan Glon contributed to this report. Whether or not the formal merger between Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and European conglomerate PSA Group means the return of Peugeot to the U.S., one thing’s for certain: The combined company will have a truckload of different brands. Sorting out what the deal means for all of them, including where they are sold and built, and whether and where there is product overlap, will be a key question for the two companies as they formalize the merger over the next 12 to 15 months. So far, both sides have steadfastly insisted that no job cuts or plant closures will result from the tie-up. WeÂ’ll see about that. In the meantime, weÂ’ve compiled an alphabetical list of all the vehicles currently sold in Europe and in North America by the various FCA and PSA brands, along with the years they debuted. We've gone into more detail about the European vehicles you might be less familiar with. The joint empire also has an antique store's worth of heritage-laced models and dormant brands, like Plymouth, Imperial, Simca, and Panhard, and it would have been even bigger had FCA not spun off Ferrari in early 2016. Alfa Romeo A legacy Italian sports car brand with roots in racing, Alfa Romeo has been struggling with declining U.S. sales. Giulia (2015): AlfaÂ’s rear-wheel drive sports sedan competes against German luxury sedans in North America and Europe. 4C (2013): The lightweight mid-engine rear-wheel-drive sports car is being phased out. Stelvio (2016): The Stelvio is a small luxury performance crossover that competes against the likes of the Porsche Macan and BMW X3 and is sold in both Europe and North America. Giulietta (2010): Sold in Europe, this compact hatchback is AlfaÂ’s entry-level model. After initially planning a rear-wheel drive 2020 update, the Giulietta is reportedly being nixed as part of FCAÂ’s latest product plans. Â Chrysler Despite lending its name to its parent company, questions abound about the future of this legendary but faded brand, which is not offered in Europe. 300 (2011): Despite rumors of its pending demise, the four-door sedan lives on mostly unchanged for the 2020 model year, at least. Pacifica (2016): The successor to the Town & Country is ChryslerÂ’s bestselling model by a long shot and comes in gas-only and plug-in hybrid versions. Voyager (2019): ChryslerÂ’s newest minivan launches as its entry-level minivan for the 2020 model year.
Jeep driver nearly gets washed away by fast moving river
Wed, May 11 2016Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. For example, you should never attempt to cross a fast-moving river in a bone stock Grand Cherokee no matter how shallow the river looks. Especially if you don't know what you're doing. A video posted recently to the Facebook group Jeep EXPERIENCE, shows an inexperienced jeep driver learning that lesson the hard way. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The video starts innocently enough, with a group of off-roaders watching one of their friends attempt to ford a shallow looking river. Things quickly go sideways however, when the driver of the silver Grand Cherokee just plunges right in and quickly gets in over his head. The river is moving faster than the driver thinks it is, the driver panics, makes some bad decisions, then the jeep is turned over and swept downstream. Eventually, the jeep is hauled out by a Land Rover after a long comedy of errors that involves one guy losing his trousers to the current and the Cherokee ingesting untold gallons of water. What went wrong here? Well, It's pretty obvious from the video that the Cherokee driver didn't have a clear idea of where he was going or about the condition of the riverbed. He chickened out halfway across the river, and in what appears to be a misguided attempt at turning back, he reverses, digs himself deeper in the riverbed, then turned broadside on into the current. When he changes his mind again and decides to just gun it for the opposite shore, he drives directly into a deep water hazard that would have been obvious to an experienced off-roader. At that point the jeep and the driver were doomed. Hopefully the driver learned a lesson here, and hopefully he didn't pollute that river too much with the jeep's fluids.

Zombie cars: 9 discontinued vehicles that aren't dead yet
Thu, Jan 6 2022Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape. Â BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021. Â Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year. Â Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.
