1964 Jeep Wagoneer 4x4

A running project, this 1964 Jeep Wagoneer has a chevrolet small block installed with two barrel rochester carburetor.  The rest of the drivetrain consists of a T-86 three speed manual floor shift transmission, Dana 20 transfer case, and Borg Warner R10 (Rancho) overdrive.  The overdrive is attached on the rear driveshaft only and will only function in two wheel drive.  A larger than stock gas tank was installed at some point, but otherwise the rest of the chassis is stock.  This jeep is all manual (no power steering, no power brakes, no power windows).

Recently, the radiator was thoroughly cleaned (top tank removed, rod tubes, re-solder, leak tested, and painted).  Other new parts:

  • Radiator hoses/heater hoses
  • Clutch master cylinder
  • Fuse block
  • Battery, battery cables and hold down
  • Fan Belt
  • Fuel filler hose
  • Fuel filter
  • Air Cleaner
  • Rebuilt carb
  • PCV, valve cover gaskets, PCV hose

Engine: 

The engine is a Chevrolet small block with deck suffix XCB (service replacement CE0A02T), the cylinder heads are late 60's double hump castings.  I have found different information for the XCB code and it is either a 327 or a 350, but I don't know for sure.  It is mounted to the chassis using a Hurst motor mount; this engine was installed in the late 1970's according to a previous owner.  The engine runs well, sometimes a little puff of oil smoke when it starts.  Exhaust exits through ram's horn manifolds and dual glasspacks.  The exhaust system is old and not very pretty underneath, but does not have any noticeable leaks. 

Transmission:

The transmission is a rebuilt T86 three speed, however the reverse gear does not work.  This transmission was rebuilt by a gentleman in the Bay Area and was installed by myself, I have pulled the top cover on the transmission and could not find any obvious internal issue why reverse does not work (the shift fork was engaged, the gears appear to be in perfect shape although I cannot see the cluster gear to verify its condition).  First gear does work, which is the same sliding gear as reverse (although reverse goes through the reverse idler).  I would assume that the transmission needs to be removed and disassembled to fix this issue.  The previously removed T86 comes with the jeep as well, although it is in very poor shape and I would assume that the only good part on it is the case and top plate.

Body: 

The body has some rust as shown in the pictures.  Part of the floorboards have been replaced (drivers side foot well), but the same spot on the passenger side needs to be replaced as well.  There is also some rust along the edges of the floorboards near where they meet the body.  The area behind the rear wheels needs to be replaced on both sides of the vehicle, and on the drivers side the area above the wheel has some small holes.  On the roof, there is some rust in the drip rail on the front and back of the roof on both sides.  It does not appear to go through the roof, on the drivers side only it was ground down to bare metal and was not through.  There are some small bits of rust showing on the edge of the windshield gasket.  Lastly, the area above the tailgate hinges has some rust.  The only filler (bondo) that I can see on the body is in the tailgate.  Another early tailgate is included, although it has other issues including a crease and bullet hole (but no rust).  The extra tailgate also has the glass and winder mechanism.  There is an extra set of bumpers that come with the truck as well.  Two of the doors hinges are tight and will need some attention (maybe new pins).  All doors and latches function.

Interior: 

 The interior needs to be completely redone.  At some point, a later model interior was installed as shown in the pictures.  Included is two rear seats (one early and one later model one) and one front bench seat (early model), there are door panels which are all late model.  The window winder mechanism on the drivers side works, but the splines are damaged and will need attention.  The headliner needs to be replaced and there are not any carpets.  The dash is complete, but needs to be disassembled and repainted.  Another heater control panel in very nice shape is also included.

Other:

The front axle is a dana 27, the rear is a dana 44.  There are some unknown brand of locking hubs on the front axle, it has four wheel drum brakes.  The wiring needs to be finished, a new fuse block was installed and some of the engine wiring was redone, but the majority of work still remains.  When I acquired this jeep it had an electrical short and a lot of poor add-on wiring which I have completely removed, I did my best to keep the majority of the existing harness there.  The tires have tread, but are cracked from age.  There is a scratch on the front windshield where something got under the wiper blade on the passenger side. 

Extras:

As previously mentioned, an extra tailgate, rear seat, transmission, bumper, heater control, and set of 4 centerline wheels are included.  There are a few minor small parts that also come with the jeep.  I will also offer a Muncie M20 transmission with adapter to Dana 18/20 transfer case and hurst shifter/linkage for an additional $500 on top of the auction close price to whoever purchases the Jeep if they would like it.

Please note that this is a project car, and while I have done my best to accurately describe the condition there may be some small items that I missed.  In-person inspection is recommended.  Buyer is responsible for shipping, if required.  $500 Deposit due within two days of auction close.  Lastly, I reserve the right to end the auction early.

2015 Jeep Renegade to start at $17,995, Trailhawk rings up at $25,995

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Prices for the 2015 Jeep Renegade have leaked onto a enthusiast forum ahead of the official embargo on pricing and driving impressions, which breaks at 12:01 AM Friday. They come from a video interview with Jeep CEO Mike Manley, that was allegedly set live accidentally. It's since been pulled down. At this point, it's unclear if the listed prices include any destination charges, so they could climb slightly higher or lower. In its most basic form, the two-wheel-drive Renegade Sport will go on sale for just $17,995. For that price, you get, um, not a lot. Really. The entry level Renegade doesn't even offer standard air conditioning – it's part of a package that includes heated power mirrors and cruise control. The $21,295 Latitude adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel, standard 16-inch wheels, air conditioning, five-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, a six-speaker stereo and USB connectivity. The top-end Renegade Limited, meanwhile, starts at $24,795 and makes standard items of the heated, powered leather seats, dual-zone climate control, seven-inch TFT display in the instrument cluster, auto-dimming mirror and 18-inch wheels. The Limited also adds a number of aesthetic tweaks that spruce up the Renegade's exterior, including brightwork around the grille, mirror caps, taillights and roof rails. The above prices, of course, are only for the front-drive Renegade. Add $2,000 to the above prices for all-wheel drive. You won't need to add that to the all-wheel-drive-only Trailhawk, which starts at $25,995 and comes with a slew of off-road features, including a bespoke front and rear fascia, with the former sporting the world's most adorable pair of red tow hooks. Mechanically, there's an exclusive version of the brand's Active Drive all-wheel-drive system that includes a 20-to-one crawl ratio and a dedicated Rock mode for the Selec-Terrain system and 17-inch wheels. The cabin, meanwhile, is home to Ruby Red accents. While we have basic trim prices, we're still without more specific details, including the cost of marquee options like the My Sky roof, as well as the plethora of options packages that will be available when the CUV arrives in dealers. We'll have our full review of the all-new Renegade available when the embargo on driving impressions breaks Friday. In the meantime, let us know what you think of these prices. Are they where you expected them to be? Higher? Lower? Have your say in Comments. Related Video:

Gilles defends 2014 Jeep Cherokee design as "very contemporary"

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Following the forced-hand introduction of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, there has definitely been a mix of responses revolving around everything from its design to the return of the legendary nameplate. As evidence of this, just check out the 1,000+ comments in our article last week and some of the many opinions that were voiced. Following this not-too-warm reception, Ward's Auto had a chance to talk to Chrysler designer chief - and SRT president - Ralph Gilles, who shed a little more light on the styling direction of the new Cherokee.
Rather than looking to previous models for inspiration, Gilles says that the Cherokee has been designed to be more contemporary, with Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, adding that a main goal was to make sure the design still looks modern five years from now. Interestingly, Gilles does point out that one of the design elements incorporated on the new Cherokee that pays homage to past Jeeps is the sharply downward angle for the leading edge of the beltline, which he notes is meant to mimic the look of the old YJ and TJ Wrangler models fitted with half doors. Of course, the squared-off wheel openings - a signature Jeep cue - are still used.
This is probably a design that will need to be seen on the street in actual daylight to properly assess, but in the meantime, we'll bring you full images and impressions when the Cherokee debuts at next month's New York Auto Show.

China orders Jeep to investigate Wrangler fire risk

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

It's been some time since we've heard anything about fires related to the Jeep Wrangler (foreign or domestic), but it sounds like the go-anywhere SUV could be in hot water once again in China. Bloomberg is reporting that the Chinese government is ordering Jeep to investigate the matter and, in the meantime, also recommending Wrangler owners to not drive their vehicles in "extreme conditions" due to a "relatively high risk" of catching on fire.
There is no indication as to how many vehicles or which model years are affected, but the previous fire problems in both the US and China - which led to investigations but no recalls - were traced back to automatic transmission fluid leaks. The article, however, does not say what the potential problem is this time around as Jeep has not released a comment on the matter. The official notice, in Chinese, can be found here.
