1983 Jeep Cherokee Chief Sport Utility 2-door 5.9l Fsj Widerack - No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1983 Mileage:218308
Location:

Edgewood, Texas, United States

Edgewood, Texas, United States

Selling "Root Beer" my father's 1983 Jeep Cherokee Widetrack with rebuilt 360 engine, 727 auto. 3 spd. trans, runs,drives, and sounds good!  This is the last year of the FSJ Cherokees. Offenhauser intake manifold.  Last year this Cherokee made over a 800 mile roundtrip with no problems other than many stops for gas! 

The odometer reads 218,308 miles.  I do not have documentation, but there is not even 5K miles on the engine since it has been rebuilt. The transmission was rebuilt and is very strong.  The 4 wheel drive works just fine as well.  There is a locker in the front axle. I do not know what brand.  The rear axle has a limited slip.

BJ's Offroad bumpers and lift with 35" tires. All glass and headliner is good. Electric windows and door locks all work including the rear glass window.  Light surface rust on the original paint therefore the Rustoluem primer racing strips. If I was going to keep this I would remove the primer and clear coat the entire car.  The patina on this Jeep is so cool.  In my opinion it would be better than repainting, but that is up to you!  Other than surface rust no body rust not even in the metal fender flares.  The floors and frame are solid.  The clips on the turn signals are broken and the lamp is kind of just sitting in the opening.  Also the grill is a little loose, but nothing is broken on the grill itself. Just needs a little work to get it grill tight. The seat belt receptacle on the driver's side is not working.  The AC is not hooked up, but many of the parts are included.  It does not have a radio.  

Not sure of the entire history of this Jeep, but it apparently has lived its life in the south.  My father has had it for about 3 years and a friend of the family had it for about 5 years before that and he did the lift, bumpers, tires, engine, and transmission rebuild. 

Not too many survivors like this out there.  These Cherokees are getting more difficult to find in this kind of driver condition. Would not take much to make this Jeep very nice! Or drive it like it is.  It gets attention everywhere!   

Clear Texas title. Sold "AS IS WHERE IS".  Will assist with your shipping arrangements. 

Please contact me with any questions about shipping or the Jeep itself prior to auction ending.  The Jeep is located in Edgewood, TX which is about 60 miles east of Dallas, TX.  You could drive this thing home it is that reliable.

Thank you for looking at this fine piece of American steel!

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.

Refreshed Chrysler 300 SRT won't be sold in NA

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

It looks like it might be time to bid farewell to the V8 rumble from the Chrysler 300 SRT - at least if you live in North America. The reported change comes as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reshuffles its ranks with the Dodge brand, re-absorbing SRT and building its muscular reputation with the Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Meanwhile, Chrysler is taking a more mainstream approach, and that likely means the end of overt high-performance models from the division for now.
According to Automotive News, the 300 SRT will be discontinued in the US for 2015, but it won't be totally dead. Some right-hand drive markets will still get the brawny V8 sedan next year, a distinction that goes a long way toward explaining some spy shots we've seen recently.
The 300 SRT's North American demise probably shouldn't come as a total shock. In FCA's five-year plan, it says that the 300 is destined for a refresh to be unveiled later this year, presumably at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. There's no mention of the SRT model in the document, though, which seems to signal its end.

Sunday Drive: Spying an automotive future of performance

Sun, May 13 2018

I spy, with my little eye ... the future of the automotive world here in the United States. That pretty much sums up this week's Sunday Drive, in which we pull out the most popular stories on Autoblog of the previous week and try to draw some sort of conclusion as to what binds them all together. This week, it's spy shots, starting with one of the biggest and baddest muscle cars the world has ever seen: the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The Hellish coupe gets a new hood for 2019 with dual scoops, but that's about the only meaningful change for the new model year. No matter. As long as it's packing 700-plus horsepower under those two hood scoops, all will be right with the world. Moving on, we take keep the performance angle but move it from the street to the dirt with a new version of the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that we think is probably called the Bison. We think it'll keep the high-tech suspension bits of the regular ZR2, but add expedition gear that may include a snorkel and a winch. Which, if true, is pretty dang cool. Keeping the truck theme is the 2019 GMC Sierra. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the trim level in which the truck was spied, and that's what makes this specific example interesting. Base-model trucks almost never get much attention, but they sell in droves to workers who need an honest-to-goodness truck for work or play and don't care about bells, whistles, or massive chrome badges. And finally we have the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, which is on fire on the sales floor right now. But those are all V6-powered Wranglers flying off the showroom floor. Soon, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine option will become available, and now we know that it will return up to 23 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway. That makes it the most fuel efficient Wrangler that Jeep has ever sold. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the automotive news that's fit to publish. 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat with twin-scoop hood spied with no camouflage Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison caught testing 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 spied in base trim level 2018 Jeep Wrangler four-cylinder fuel economy revealed Spy Photos Chevrolet Dodge GMC Jeep Truck Coupe SUV Off-Road Vehicles Performance dodge challenger srt hellcat sunday drive
