This does not come around often...say once every 40 years.    

This 1974 is completely factory original.   The paint is original as Toledo applied it, graphics, seats, windshield, body, engine....everything.      I spent months cleaning and polishing and detailing every part of this jeep to get back to showroom condition.   

I purchased this vehicle from the original owner in Missouri.   She was a widow of 33 years.    This jeep was her husbands and the couple owned a summer cottage on a lake just outside KC.   He purchased it new in Kansas City in 1974 and took it directly to their summer home.   There he put 22, 250 miles on the jeep until 1981 when after he had put the vehicle in the garage or the evening he had a stroke and shortly died.    The jeep was left in the garage for 33 years by his widow so as to preserve his memory along with all his other trappings.    

He took great care of this vehicle, just getting new tires on the vehicle in 1979 (white walls)   changing the oil, filters and plugs.  He placed vinyl labels indicating the date and mileage on the cowl and filters.   I surmise a rather anal guy who loved his chick magnet ride.  

When I purchased it:

  1.) I changed the brake Master cylinder, wheel cylinders and installed new brake lining and hoses because they were seized from non use and the fluid was like mud.
2.)   Installed a new fuel tank because I could not get the old fuel out.
3.) Sent the carb out to be rebuilt by American Carburetor, Inc  (no replacement parts, NOS original AMC gaskets and original tag with matching date that came with it)  It looks and operates like new.  
4.) Replaced the E-Brake cable because it was very stiff and hard to operate.
5.) Flushed the entire coolant system and installed new hoses.
6.) Replaces the fan belt
7.) Replaced the rubber fuel lines.   
8.) Complete compound, polish inside, under the hood etc.   
9.) Change all lubes in diff, engine, trans, transfer case and lube chassis.  


I have the original WHITCO top and Doors in white.   The top is in new condition because it was not on the vehicle at the time it was placed in the garage   Very clean and super original.   

The spare is the original Goodyear Polyglas Suburbanite.   With original aluminum wheels.   Whitco original spare tire cover was on it when I purchased.   

There are factory dates and part numbers on the frame that are clearly visible, and the stamped frame serial numbers match to VIN.

There is only surface rust staining on the floor.

The seats are original to this vehicle, soft and strong: are beige in color,   only one small 1" seam separation on the drivers seat.

The seat belts are new condition,   one set of the rear seat belts are still in the factory protective black bag the way they came from the factory.   Amazing!

The Engine fires immediately and runs very, very smoothly, with no leaks, clicks, pings.   

All Gauges work, lights, brakes, wipers, horn, turn sigs.   

The factory color is Mellow Yellow matches the tag.

2015 Jeep Renegade leaks out ahead of Geneva debut

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Meet the Renegade - Jeep's new baby crossover that's set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show this week. The folks at Jalopnik got their hands on a small batch of photos of the new little cutie, showing what appears to be a Trailhawk (read: trail-rated) version, as well as a more civilian-spec Renegade, complete with a new removable roof system, reportedly called My Sky.
Details are slim, though in addition to the exterior images, one photo of the interior has also been leaked, showing what appears to be a small, yet functional (and nicely appointed) cabin. Early reports suggested that the new small Jeep would be based on the Fiat 500L platform, though Jalopnik rightly points out that the Renegade looks an awful lot like the Panda 4x4. Regardless, there's still likely some 500L bones under there, and we'll know more once the official details are revealed in the very near future.
Head over to Jalopnik for more shots of the cute little Renegade, and stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block

Thu, 30 May 2013

Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.

Stellantis reports record margins, $7B profits despite chip shortage

Tue, Aug 3 2021

MILAN — Automaker Stellantis on Tuesday said it achieved faster-than-expected progress on synergies and record margins in its first six months as a combined company, despite suffering 700,000 units in lower production due to interruptions in the semiconductor supply chain. The company — formed from French carmaker Peugeot PSAÂ’s takeover of the Italian-American company Fiat Chrysler — reported net profit of 5.9 billion euros ($7 billion) in the first half of 2021, compared with a loss 813 million euros during the same period a year earlier, which was impacted by the coronavirus restrictions around the globe. Shipments rose 44% to 3.2 million units, while revenues rose 46% to 75 billion euros. “We are very pleased with the speed with which the new team has begun to execute as one company, as Stellantis,Â’Â’ Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer told reporters. Semiconductor shortages accounted for 200,000 units of production losses in the first quarter and 500,000 in the second quarter. Semiconductors are used more than ever before in new vehicles with electronic features such as Bluetooth connectivity and driver assist, navigation and hybrid electric systems. Stellantis achieved 1.3 billion euros in cost savings in the first half, mostly by sharing investments in new technologies and platforms, which Palmer said was a faster rate than initially forecast. It aims to achieve 80% of the targeted 5 billion in cost savings by 2024. “These synergies allow us to continue to invest in the electrification strategy, which we talk about every day,” Palmer said. Stellantis, which lags competitors in rolling out electric vehicles, plans to launch 21 fully electric or plug-in gas electric hybrid vehicles over the next two years. North American posted record profitability on global sales of Ram trucks and the strong launch of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which was the best-selling plug-in gas electric vehicle in the United States in the second quarter. Stellantis was the market leader in South America and second in Europe. The results were presented on a pro-forma basis, taking into account the performance of each of the carmakers as separate entities during 2020.
