Jeep Cherokee 2-dr Wide Track on 2040-cars
Boone, Iowa, United States
|
I am selling my 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief Wide track. The vehicle is not running. I replaced the intake manifold and carburetor about a year and a half ago with an Edelbrock performer intake and 600 cfm carburetor. Ever since, I have not been able to get it running other than briefly and roughly. I don't think I got all of the hoses and stuff connected back up correctly. I am pretty sure it just needs someone who knows these engines to get it working. It has the AMC 360 V-8 in it. It is not the original motor. The motor turns over fine when the battery is charged but it will not run. The paint job is about 4 years old and is not professional, but it looks decent when it's washed. There are some small dings, dents, scratches, and chips.
I have owned the vehicle since the early or mid 90's. It has sat in the garage a lot over the years. I would start it occasionally or pull it out to wash it, up until I replaced the manifold. It has the T-400 transmission and Quadratrac transfer case with the low range shifter. The axles are both Dana 44, not sure on the gearing anymore. It has a 3" add a leaf on the rear and 33x12.50x15 A/T's. The tires are old but they hold air good and have lasted along time. All of the glass is in decent shape. The chrome trim still shines. The seats are in decent shape, but there are some tears in the backs of the seats. There is no carpet or headliner in it, but it still has insulated mat on the floor. The dash in decent shape. There is no stereo or speakers. I don't think the fuel gauge works anymore. I have replace the front door seals and the roof rack seals. It still needs the rear door and window seals. Also, It does not have the rear window motor. As for rust on the vehicle, there is some minor surface rust on the underside of the roof from the rack leaking years ago and small area on the passenger side rear fender flare. The rocker panels are solid and the front fender wells are solid. This vehicle is originally from the Pacific Northwest and has never driven on the salted Iowa winter roads. I have also undercoated the frame and fender wells several times over the year to prevent rusting. This has been my baby for years and I hate to see it go, but we are going to be relocating back to the pacific northwest and I do not want to haul it across the country. I always had big plans for it, but if I had the time, then I never had the money. I am hopeful that someone will get to fix it up and use it like I always wanted to. Feel free to contact me with specific questions or if want specific pictures taken. The buyer is responsible for picking up the vehicle at my residence within 7 days of the end of the auction unless other arrangements are agreed upon between Seller and Buyer. Any shipping arrangement are the buyers responsibility. The buyer will pay a $500.00 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of the end of auction. The remainder of balance shall be paid in cash within 7 days of the end of auction. The highest bidder at the end of the auction is responsible to uphold the contract of purchasing the vehicle. As/Is No Warranty on Vehicle. I have more pictures upon request. The pictures are from this past summer when I pulled the vehicle out and washed it. I can send you pictures of how it sits in the garage. |

Jeep gives Cherokee its yin and yang with Sageland and Urbane concepts
Sat, 19 Apr 2014Among the design concepts Jeep has prepared for Beijing Motor Show this year are a pair of Cherokees dressed up in contrasting schemes.
In one corner we have the Sageland concept pictured above, drawing its inspiration from Shangri-La with an Ivory Peal tri-coat and bronze trim for the grille, fascia appliqués, roof rack, sunroof, mirror caps and exhaust tips. Inside it's all earth tones with light gray Nappa leather seats and red and blue top-stitching inspired by traditional Chinese themes.
Meanwhile the Urbane concept (pictured right) takes the Cherokee in a different direction with steel blue metallic paintjob and black accents. Inside it adopts the theme of Chinese calligraphy with Piano Black accepts and dark red Nappa leather.
Weekly Recap: Ferrari looks to reclaim old success with new manager
Sat, Nov 29 2014Clearly, Ferrari doesn't race for fourth place, and this week, major changes continued at the Scuderia. It was a rough year for Ferrari, and the Scuderia conducted its season-ending tests in Abu Dhabi this week with a view toward a fresh start in 2015 with new leaders and a new ace driver. Though plenty of other Formula One teams were disappointed with their finishes in 2014, Ferrari was perhaps the most eager to put this season in its rear-view mirror. The Scuderia finished a distant fourth in the Constructors standings with 216 points, well behind No. 1 Mercedes (701 points), and Ferrari failed to win a single race as the Silver Arrows dominated the grid. It was an especially bitter pill for a team that claims 16 Constructors championships and 15 Drivers titles – the most in history – and is the only surviving team from F1's first season, 1950. Clearly, Ferrari doesn't race for fourth place, and this week, major changes continued at the Scuderia. Ferrari named Philip Morris executive Maurizio Arrivabene as team principal. He replaced Marco Mattiacci, who held the job for only seven months after taking over for Stefano Domenicali, who resigned in April amid the Scuderia's early-season struggles. Phillip Morris (through its Marlboro brand) is a key Ferrari sponsor, and that played a role in Arrivabene's ascension. Still, he's no stranger to F1, and has been intimately involved in the Ferrari-Marlboro partnership. He also has served as the sponsors' representative on the FIA's F1 Commission since 2010. In a statement, new Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne said: "We decided to appoint Maurizio Arrivabene because, at this historic moment in time for the Scuderia and for Formula One, we need a person with a thorough understanding not just of Ferrari, but also of the governance mechanisms and requirements of the sport." Arrivabene's background is primarily in marketing and communication, and most recently he held the title of vice president of consumer channel strategy and event marketing for Philip Morris. He has been with the company since 1997. Arrivabene now leads a team that's rife with change. Marchionne took over in October when longtime boss Luca di Montezemolo quit in a disagreement about Ferrari's future, and the company itself will be spun off from parent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in 2015.
Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot boards meet to finalize merger
Tue, Dec 17 2019MILAN/PARIS — The boards of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot will meet separately on Tuesday to discuss finalizing an initial agreement for a $50 billion merger to create the world's number four carmaker, sources said. A source close to FCA said the two companies could announce the signing of a binding memorandum early on Wednesday, followed by a conference call to explain further details later in the day. The two mid-sized carmakers announced plans six weeks ago for a tie-up to help them deal with big challenges in the industry, including a global demand downturn and the need to develop costly cleaner cars to meet looming anti-pollution rules. Ahead of the meetings, entities representing the Peugeot family, Etablissements Peugeot Freres (EPF) and FFP, unanimously approved a proposed memorandum of understanding for the planned merger, a source familiar with the situation said. FCA and PSA have said they would seek to finalize a deal by year-end to create a group with 8.7 million in annual vehicle sales. That would put it fourth globally behind Volkswagen, Toyota and the Renault-Nissan alliance. PSA's Carlos Tavares will be chief executive and FCA's John Elkann — the scion of Italy's Agnelli family, which controls FCA through their holding company Exor — chairman of the combined company. The group will include the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Peugeot, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, allowing it to serve mass and premium passenger car markets as well as those for trucks and light commercial vehicles.
