1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer station wagon. 1 owner since new. Would be a great car to restore. 143K miles. Good running 360 V8/automatic. Doesn't smoke. Gold w/ tan leather interior. Power seats, windows, locks, fog lights, tow package. Was a daily driver until a couple years ago. Thought the starter had gone out and since I had another car didn't bother to mess with it. Come to find out a couple weeks ago it was just a bad battery. The car is super straight & never wrecked. The body does have some rust. Rear wheel wells and rockers have some small/moderate holes. Small patches of surface rust and bubbles on other parts of the body. Doors are all good. Roof edges above doors are rusty w/ some tiny holes that have been filled w/ silicone sealer. Car had some hail damage in 1992 and the hood & entire roof section were replaced which might explain the rust along the drip rails. There are patch panels available for most of the bad rust spots. Wood grain is worn off. Floors from underneath look good. Car was undercoated when it was purchased new so the chassis was well protected for most of its life. Interior is pretty good. A couple tears in the driver's seat, other seats are good, just worn. Carpet is decent, dash is good. Headliner was falling down & was stapled back up. Bumpers are great, grill has a small piece out of it, driver's side seatbelt is apart, door window trim nice, all glass is good.

The car runs good and will drive around the block but if you are going to drive it everyday I would check the belts, hoses, change fluids, tune-up, etc. since it's been sitting & probably replace the tires. Car doesn't like to move when it's been sitting but once it warms up it seems to go fine. May just need a transmission service. Transmission shifted fine before. 4WD does not work (bad transfer case). Runs fine in 2WD. Car shows 143K miles but may be closer to 148K as the odometer stopped working shortly before it was parked. Engine has only about 90K miles thanks to a dealer forgetting to put oil in after an oil change. Motor was replaced w/ a new Jeep crate motor at that point. A/C is not working. Blew cool but not cold before parked. Heat seems to work. Brakes are good. One rear door window doesn't work, opposite rear door doesn't open. Other door windows work fine, doors open/close solid. Tailgate window works good halfway. I think the rubber seal is hard & binding it. The rear window motor was replaced a few years ago. Front power seats work. Has an aftermarket AM/FM cassette player. Car is 99% complete. Missing a 2 hub cabs and ashtray covers. I do have the parts but as of writing this can't find them. 1 rear armrest is missing in the photos but I have since found it. Hood ornament and one wood grain strip is off but in the car. Car will need a battery. I have one to start it & show it runs but is not included. It's out of my truck and is too tall to shut the hood. Clear Kansas title. Car was well maintained most of it's life at the local Jeep dealer. A lot of good memories in this car and would love to find a good home for it. Certainly worth restoring! If you need further information I can be reached at 913-221-5666. Car is for sale locally as well.

Jeep marks 75th anniversary in Detroit with special editions

Tue, Jan 12 2016

It's been 75 years since the Jeep brand was founded. To celebrate the occasion, the sport-ute manufacturer has rolled out an array of six special editions – one for each model in its lineup. And they've each marked their debut here in Detroit. The 75th Anniversary Editions of the Wrangler, Renegade, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Compass, and Patriot are all decked out in green Â– though the exact shade differs between models, and they can be ordered in different colors for those who prefer. Either way, the bodywork is offset by bronze trim, mesh fabric interiors, and all the special-edition badges you could ask for. And in true Jeep style, they all offer some degree of open-airedness, even if that just means a sunroof. Of course, bringing back the Wrangler pickup and Grand Wagoneer Â– both of which are planned for this milestone year Â– would be agreeable as well, as would a Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee SRT. But for now these special editions strike us as suitable a way as any to celebrate three quarters of a century of rock-crawling. Check 'em out in the gallery above of live images from the floor of the Detroit Auto Show for a closer look before they reach dealers in the first quarter of this year. THE JEEPÂ® BRAND CELEBRATES 75 YEARS OF LEGENDARY HISTORY WITH FULL LINEUP OF NEW SPECIAL-EDITION MODELS - New 75th Anniversary models available across entire JeepÂ® lineup - Special-edition vehicles feature unique available Jeep Green exterior, Satin Bronze wheels, Bronze and Orange exterior accents, unique interiors, open-air freedom and 75th Anniversary badging - Available in Jeep dealer showrooms first quarter 2016 January 6, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Born in 1941, the JeepÂ® brand celebrates 75 years of 4x4 leadership, military history, and open-air freedom and adventure in 2016. As a tribute to this diamond anniversary celebration, Jeep is creating distinctive, 75th Anniversary special-edition models of each vehicle in its lineup. "Jeep vehicles have defined the authentic SUV and set the benchmark for off-road capability and freedom since they were first produced in 1941," said Mike Manley, Head of Jeep Brand Â– FCA Global. "Today, Jeep SUVs continue to deliver 4x4 leadership, as well as fuel efficiency, world-class craftsmanship and premium on-road dynamics.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk headlines 2017 model year updates

Thu, Mar 24 2016

If the photos below look familiar, it's because we saw them last week. Yes, the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is real, and it's a welcome (and predictable) addition to the Jeep family. It boasts rugged good looks and plenty of capability, and debuts this week at the New York Auto Show. Standard Trailhawk equipment includes Jeep's Quadra-Drive II four-wheel-drive system, a revised air suspension (specifically for Trailhawk, we're told), skid plates, the black hood decal, and cute little red tow hooks. It's also got an ever-so-slightly different front fascia, taken right from the 2012 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Moab concept. Buyers can choose from 18- or 20-inch wheels. Looking for something a bit more posh? Try the Summit, pictured below, with its 20-inch polished wheels, LED foglights, and full-wrap Laguna leather interior. It's loaded to the gills with every available Grand Cherokee option, and certainly sounds like one seriously nice SUV. View 15 Photos What's great is that both Trailhawk and Summit models can be had with three different engines. The standard powerplant is Chrysler's 295-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6, but the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 are also available. (We love the idea of a Trailhawk with the diesel, by the way.) Both models go on sale this fall. Read more about both in the press blast below. Jeep Grand Cherokee: Even More Capability and Luxury for the Most-awarded SUV Ever - Jeep Brand Introduces New 2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and Summit Models at the New York International Auto Show - New Trailhawk model expands Jeep® Grand Cherokee lineup with most capable version ever produced - Grand Cherokee Summit models boast new, even more luxurious hand-crafted leather interior, new appearance and added standard premium features Both new Grand Cherokee models arrive in Jeep showrooms in late summer March 23, 2016 , New York - Already the most awarded SUV ever, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is about to become even more capable and even more luxurious. At the New York International Auto Show today, the Jeep brand expanded its Grand Cherokee lineup with the introduction of a new Trailhawk model Â– the most capable factory-produced Grand Cherokee ever. The brand also introduced the 2017 Grand Cherokee Summit, bringing a new exterior appearance, a plush new interior and even more standard premium features to consumers looking for the ultimate premium full-size SUV.

2014 Jeep Cherokee will keep Liberty designation in China... sort of

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Chinese buyers will get their first live look at the 2014 Jeep Cherokee during the Shanghai Motor Show, but CarNewsChina is reporting that it will go by a different name - Ziyou Guan, which translates to "Liberty Light." The article states that our Jeep Liberty was never sold in China, but the iconic XJ Cherokee was sold and produced there as the Qinuoji (a phonetic translation of Cherokee).
The new Jeep Liberty Light will be built alongside the Fiat Viaggio (China's Fiat-badged version of the Dodge Dart) at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant, and the two models will share the same powertrains: a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder base engine paired to a five-speed manual or a dual-clutch transmission and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (the base engine for the US-spec 2014 Cherokee) as an optional engine. It doesn't sound like the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 will be offered in China.
We'll be on hand when the new Jeep debuts in Shanghai, so stay tuned to Autoblog this Friday night and Saturday for our live coverage of the show.
