Year:1982 Mileage:136000
Location:

Oka, Quebec, Canada

Hi, I am reluctantly selling my Jeep since I don't have any more time to enjoy it, and I have a lot more projects on the waiting list. I ought it 2 years ago with a broken differential and have fixed a lot of things on it to make it running again. I have used it to get around in the forest for the past year and it ran well. 

It's a 1982, with an inline 6 cylinder engine, 258 and a T4 manual transmission. It has a hard-top from a 97 YJ, it has the side bars for the roll cage, it has a soft roof also. Mileage is 136K miles but I don't know if it's actual. There are a lot of pros and cons on this car so here goes: 

Pros: 
- This vehicle has been previously restored but I don't know when and by who. Everything is color painted, frame is purple, engine is orange, transfer case is yellow, etc. 
- Very solid frame, has been re-plated on the right side, otherwise is rust free and rustproofed. 
- New spark plugs, distributor, PCV valve, fuel filter, etc. 
- New carburetor, Weber DGES 38 bought last year to replace the carter one
- Front calipers and pads are new
- Rear differential was replaced, with a used but working drive shaft. It's a locked differential with one piece axles to put on larger tires, new differential oil, etc. 
- No holes in the body or frame
- Doors come off

Cons: 
- Original paint is blue, re-painted by hand with matte Tremclad anti-rust paint. 
- Engine burns oil, when the car is hot it has more smoke from the tailpipe than a 19th Century locomotive. Piston rings are probably finished. Engine must be rebuilt
- Transfer case shifts very hard from 4X4 to 2X4 or low to high. I don't know what the problem is. 
- Seats are rusted though, well the springs are, and the fabric is torn. They must be replaced. 
- Wiring must be re-done on the whole car. It starts and runs with the key, speedo works, oil pressure works, but the gas and temp do not. Headlights do not work. Complete wiring must be redone in it. 

It starts and runs but needs a lot of work. I do not deem it secure to drive it as it is on the road (maybe in the forest but still)

Please refer to the pictures for any additional information, it comes exactly as pictured. 

It is located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada but I am willing to ship it worldwide at the buyer's expense. 

*** SHIPPING IT TO EUROPE IS AROUND 1000$ - 1500$ ***

Overseas buyers: Please message me for quote, it's easier for me to get it shipped to Helsinki, Rotterdam of somewhere along those lines. 
USA bidders: I could deliver the car to Champlain NY 12919 for free but the paperwork is on you, I have never exported a car to the US so I'm not aware of the laws, but could assist you in any case. 


If you have questions please ask before bidding.

Jeep team takes a field trip to Wagonmaster; researching next Grand Wagoneer?

Fri, 01 Feb 2013


They have the very best intentions of rolling out a seven-passenger vehicle.
Wagonmaster has made a name for itself restoring and selling factory-perfect Jeep Grand Wagoneer models, bridging the gap between when the last production machine rolled off the line in 1991 and present day. The company's efforts haven't gone unnoticed. The entire Jeep product planning team took a little field trip to the company's facility in Kerrville, Texas back in December, and they weren't just there to take in the sights. According to owner Leon Miller's son, Chip Miller, the Jeep team was there to do research for the successor to the Grand Wagoneer throne.

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.

2018 Jeep Wrangler to get 8-speed auto

Mon, Nov 24 2014

Remember when the Jeep Wrangler had a three-speed automatic? That wasn't that long ago – as recent as the 2007 redesign – but Chrysler is keen to leave those days behind on the dusty trail. The current model ushered in a four-speed, then a five-speed, but the latest intel indicates that an eight-speed automatic is in the cards. According to a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and cited by Automotive News, Jeep plans on fitting its eight-speed automatic transmission to the next-generation Wrangler. Chrysler already uses the ZF-sourced slushbox on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ram 1500, Chrysler 300, and versions of the Dodge Challenger, Charger and Durango. But according to the SEC filing, the Auburn Hills automaker intends "to use this transmission in all of our rear-wheel-drive vehicles, except for heavy-duty versions of the Ram pick-up truck and the SRT Viper." AN says that Chrysler wanted to slot the transmission straight into the current Wrangler, but it wouldn't fit. Between the transmission and shift to aluminum construction, the next-generation Wrangler promises to deliver a significant reduction in fuel consumption. In correspondence with Autoblog, however, company spokesmen declined to comment on the eight-speed's suitability towards either the current Wrangler or the upcoming one.
