Well after nine years of owning this 1973 Jeep commando it is time for me to part ways with it. It is such a classic and rare car, and has given me so much joy to own it and be able to cruise around the back roads of Indiana as highschooler, college student, and adult. I moved to New York a few years ago and the car has remained at my parents house. I can no longer see keeping it, without being able to drive it around on a weekly basis. I would love to see this limegreen beauty go to a great owner who will take good care of it and enjoy many summers with the top down!

Now, for some specs about the vehicle: It is a 1973 Jeep commando with a V8 304 5L engine. It also has four-wheel-drive. It has a 3-speed manual transmission and is very powerful, but tops out around 45-50 mph in 3rd gear. It's has less than 82,000 miles on it.

Last month, I spent $500 to replace all of the electrical wiring and put in a brand new battery. The car is starting, idling and driving great, but could use a new alternator and carburetor (should run you under $500 to replace altogether), as the carburetor is leaking.

It has bucket seats in the front and one bench seat in the rear. The hardtop is removable (takes 2-3 people to lift it off) and it instantly becomes a convertible. They made only about 10,000 of these back in '73, so it is a rarity.

As far as the cosmetic side of the jeep, I purchased the beautiful, OEM aluminum hubcaps that you see pictured for $250 a few years ago. There are a few tiny bits of rust on the exterior and some more significant rusting on the hinged trunk door, but overall, very little. I repainted the white hard top a few years ago.

This car could be a great recreational vehicle to tow a boat, cruise country roads, or use around a farm. It also has tons of potential to be painted and brought back to original cosmetic condition.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE!

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio vs. 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk: On-paper sibling rivalry

Thu, Feb 15 2018

Pricing was revealed for the 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, and with its $81,590 price tag, it's within range of yet another high-performance SUV from Fiat-Chrysler: the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. The Hellcat-powered Jeep is more expensive than the Stelvio at $86,995, but depending on options, the price advantage might go either way. This left us wondering, how similar are these two high-powered SUVs? Besides sharing the same number of words in their very-long names, we took a look at some of their performance specs and put them in the spreadsheet below. As always, if you want to compare either of these with other speedy SUVs, be sure to try out our comparison tools. As far as outright speed, both SUVs are surprisingly close. The Trackhawk is just a bit quicker in a straight line, hitting 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds as opposed to the Alfa's 3.9. The Jeep's 180-mph top speed is also 3-mph quicker than the Alfa. But neither of these differences is especially huge. What makes this interesting is how different the paths each SUV takes to get to its results. The Trackhawk accomplishes the task with pure grunt. It has Dodge's Hellcat supercharged 6.2-liter V8 making 707 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque to overcome its hefty 5,363-pound body. The Alfa, on the other hand, makes do with less power and torque, 505 and 443, respectively, from its twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6. It has less weight, though. Exactly how much less we're not sure, since Alfa hasn't revealed that number, but a regular Stelvio weighs right around 4,000 pounds, so we would guess the weight is similar, possibly a little more. View 14 Photos The differences in how each SUV achieves its performance should result in pretty different driving characteristics, and probably different buyers. Each SUV's bragging points also indicates this. The Trackhawk boasts an impressive 11.6-second claimed quarter-mile time, something that American muscle car fans everywhere care about. The Alfa brags about how it's the fastest production SUV to lap the Nurburgring, something sure to impress fans of foreign cars and those that value handling over straight-line performance. So really, although these two SUVs have performance similarities, they're also very different, and the right one for you depends on what you value.

470,000 Jeep Liberty, Chrysler 200, and Dodge Avenger models recalled for restraint defect

Sat, Oct 14 2017

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said on Friday it is recalling 470,000 vehicles worldwide to replace a component that may inhibit deployment of the vehicles' active head restraints in the event of a crash. Around 414,000 of those vehicles were sold in the United States. Apparently, "a component common to the modules of certain vehicles may degrade after extensive vehicle use." The recall covers 2012 Jeep Liberty sport utility vehicles and 2012-13 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger midsize cars. FCA says a warning light may alert owners to the problem. The Italian-American automaker said it is unaware of any injuries or accidents related to the recall. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into the issue in June. (Reporting by David Shepardson; Editing by Steve Orlofsky) Related Video:
