1983 JEEP WAGONEER LIMITED, ONE OF A KIND EXAMPLE OF A WELL MAINTAINED, GARAGE KEPT, ONE OWNER WAGONEER IN EXCELLENT SHOWROOM CONDITION!!

With a production run spanning nearly 30 years from 1963 to 1991, the first-generation SJ Jeep Wagoneer was one of the longest-running vehicles in U.S. automotive history. When the Wagoneer was introduced, about the only four-wheel-drive vehicles you could buy were utilitarian with decidedly military roots. This all-new offering from Jeep was designed from the ground up to be comfortable and luxurious -- and was the forefather to the modern luxury SUV. This it was the most car-like 4x4 available and proved quite popular.

This example, an exceptionally preserved 1983 Wagoneer Limited, is loaded to the hilt with factory options, including leather upholstery, six-way power seats, power windows, power door locks, air conditioning, leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel, extra-thick carpet, power brakes, power steering, automatic transmission, cruise control, alloy wheels and a roof rack.

This vehicle has been meticulously maintained and loved over the years. Best of all, this Jeep has been a Southern California truck all of its life and is as sound as they get, with absolutely no rust! and no leaks.

The Dark Navy Blue Metallic paint is glossy like the first day and shows beautifully, the wood grain applique down both sides is original and in very good condition. Clearly this truck has lived its whole life in a garage. Panels are straight with good gaps, chrome, trim and bumpers all excellent. The underside looks incredible. Rust free California vehicle. The original alloy wheels are in like-new condition and are wearing brand new correct white wall tires. It's hard to believe this truck's interior, a warm saddle color leather is 30 years old. The upholstery, carpet and door panels are all original and look brand new. The woodgrain trim on the dash and horn pad is in perfect condition. This Wagoneer still has its original stereo system -- in perfect condition, of course. Even the seatbelt retractors work as they should, and the belts themselves are showing little, if any, wear. Under the hood is an AMC 360 cubic inch V8 mated to a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. And since it's a Jeep, it has the Selec-Trac four-wheel-drive system, which allows the driver to select either high or low range with the flip of a switch on the dash. And in keeping with its luxury appointments, this 4x4 has self-locking front hubs. With only 148,000 original miles, this Jeep is barely broken in. In short, it's one of the best-preserved classic Wagoneer's around. It is being sold on a clean & clear California title. This is a great SUV that will make the perfect toy for a collector or to take to the mountains, to the beach or just out for a cruise. These vehicles are now classics that are getting increasingly hard to find! Get out and drive!!

History
For the 1980's new luxury editions named Custom Wagoneer and Wagoneer Brougham were added, and Wagoneer Limited was substantially upgraded with luxury equipment. Limited buyers got bucket seats with leather trim, a center armrest, and unique door panels; leather-wrapped steering wheel; extra thick carpeting; woodgrain overlay on the lower dash; wide woodgrain side and rear; roofrack; bright drip rail overlay; aluminum wheels (still 15 x 7); a tire upgrade; various moldings; standard air conditioning; a retractable cargo cover; power windows and locks; cruise; tilt wheel; FM stereo; the visibility group; electric remote control mirrors; bumper guards; six-way power front seats; and a rear window defogger.

The Jeep Wagoneer was the first luxury 4x4, sold and produced through numerous marques from 1963 to 1991. A "sport utility vehicle" (SUV) for decades before the term was even coined, the 4WD Wagoneer saw only minor mechanical changes during its 28-year plus production run, the third longest in U.S. automotive history.

Introduced as a successor to the Willys Jeep Station Wagon that had been built since the end of World War II, the Wagoneer pioneered the sport utility vehicle concept. In spite of its pickup truck chassis and boxy shape it was more carlike than any 4x4 on the market. Compared with offerings from General Motors, International Harvester, and Land Rover— which were producing utilitarian work-oriented vehicles with spartan truck-like interiors — the Wagoneer's luxury set it apart. Based on the Jeep SJ platform, the revolutionary Wagoneer sported an advanced overhead cam inline 6 cylinder, and offered features unheard of at the time in any other mainstream 4WD vehicle, such as an independent front suspension, power steering, and automatic transmission.

From its introduction in late 1962 as a 1963 model, until its cancellation in 1991 (or 1992, depending on the source), the Jeep Wagoneer was one of the few American vehicles that stayed in production for virtually 30 years.  The Wag even managed to remain evergreen during its entire long run.

The Wagoneer made its debut seven years before Land Rover launched its Range Rover in Great Britain, and 24 years before that upscale marque appeared in the United States. It was succeeded by the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Marchionne: Midsize pickup still not in the cards; Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler could use aluminum

Wed, 07 May 2014

During the Fiat-Chrysler briefings on Tuesday, Reid Bigland, head of Ram Trucks, outlined the new product plans for his brand, including confirmation that an all-new light-duty Ram 1500 will launch in 2017. From there, discussions spun off in two directions, with the main questions being: will Ram build a midsize pickup? And, following Ford's move to extensively use aluminum in its new 2015 F-150, will Chrysler be using this weight-saving material for the next round of its fullsize truck, as well?
"I think there is room for a Ram 1000," Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne (pictured above) told members of the media, saying this is a conversation the automaker has been having internally for several years now. "We've tried this ... we've actually taken it to clinics," Marchionne stated, adding that the "response has been lukewarm."
"I have better use of aluminum in this house than a pickup truck." - Sergio Marchionne

2014 Jeep Cherokee facing production delay

Fri, 17 May 2013

Jeep's bold-faced new direction spearheaded by the 2014 Cherokee is facing some teething issues. According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, production start-up of the controversial new utility vehicle at its Toledo North facility is running about a month behind schedule "due to a wide range of issues." That's according to Mark Chernoby, senior vice president of engineering at Chrysler.
Chernoby maintains that the issues being encountered aren't unusual for the launch of a new vehicle - particularly one with a new powertrain - and he downplayed the delay, telling Jeep dealers that they "will have ample inventory of the midsize SUV by fall." Among the kinks being worked out? Calibrating the Cherokee's cutting-edge ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and refining assembly line tasks to make the process more efficient.
Chrysler expects to start building retail-ready versions of the Cherokee around mid-June, with official sales slated to start in September.

Stellantis suspends vehicle production in Russia

Tue, Apr 19 2022

MILAN - Stellantis on Tuesday said it was suspending production at its Russian plant due to logistical difficulties and sanctions imposed on Moscow. The world's fourth-largest automaker, which produced and sold the Peugeot, Citro¸n, Opel, Jeep, and Fiat brands in Russia, has just 1% of the country's car market. It runs a van-making plant in Kaluga, around 125 miles (201 kilometres) southeast of Moscow, co-owned with Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi, which halted production at the facility earlier this month. "Given the rapid daily increase in cross sanctions and logistical difficulties, Stellantis has suspended its manufacturing operations in Kaluga to ensure full compliance with all cross sanctions and to protect its employees," Stellantis said in a statement. The plant employs 2,700 people. The company will continue to pay salaries through a local downtime scheme and by using anticipated vacation periods, Stellantis told Reuters. It said it did not know how long the stoppage would last, adding that its priority was its staff and the return of peace. Stellantis had already suspended all exports and imports of vehicles with Russia, following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, moving production to western Europe. It had also said it was freezing plans for more investments in the country. Van production in Kaluga had remained just for the local market. Scores of foreign companies have announced temporary shutdowns of stores and factories in Russia or said they were leaving the country for good since Russia began what it calls "a special military operation" in Ukraine on Feb. 24. Stellantis Chief Executive Carlos Tavares in late March said the group would have to close the Kaluga plant shortly as it was running out of parts. Separately on Tuesday, General Motors Co said it was extending its suspension of business in Russia due to the conflict and international sanctions. The U.S. automaker, which initially suspended imports into Russia and commercial activity on Feb. 28, said it was laying off most of its 66 employees and providing them with separation packages. GM does not have plants in Russia and only sold about 3,000 vehicles annually there prior to the suspension.
