Reliable Jeep- I bought this Wagoneer sight-unseen while I was in Iraq in 2011. I had my wife and dad pick it up for me in Laramie, WY because I needed a good daily driver for my very short drive to work each day when I returned to Cheyenne. It has served me well for two years and would continue to be a great daily driver or a restoration or off-road project. It has some flaws, but works great. Here's what you're looking at:

-All original AMC 360 V8, 2bbl carb. Emissions were removed by a prior owner (I'm the third). Starts very easily and runs strong.

-Hydramatic Automatic Transmission: works/shifts just fine.

-Quadra-Trac (Borg Warner 1339) full-time 4x4 Transfer Case with low range: works great

-Milemarker 4x2 conversion (I installed this conversion myself, which converted the transfer case from full time 4x4 to part-time/selectable 2 or 4-wheel drive and added front lockout hubs... I'll include all the parts that were swapped out in case purchaser would like to return it to its original, full-time 4x4 state)

-A/C: original. When my wife and dad picked up the Wagoneer for me, it threw a belt. A repair shop advised them to unplug the electrical connection to the A/C and we've not had a problem since. Apparently, when the compressor turned on, the clutch was acting up and would cause the belt to jump off the pulley. I haven't had a need for a/c, so I haven't worried about it. Seems like a bad clutch, though.

-Heater works flawlessly. This is important during the Wyoming winters.

-All carpet and upholstery is original. It's in really good shape for its age. The only tears on the seats are on the driver's seat (see pictures) on the lower front-left side, and the lower-left side of the seat back. Other than that, they're in unbelievable condition.

-Hoodliner is gone in the front (from the back seat area, forward) and hanging on in the rear (above the cargo area).

-Rear Electric Window: Works from the switch on the dash, but the keyhole switch quit working. I'm sure this would be an easy fix, since the window motor/gears are still working fine.

-All interior door handles work. Window crank handles work, but the driver's side rear door window crank handle is broken (see picture). I've found this online for $10 (bjsffroad.com) plus shipping and attaches with a single screw.

-Body: See pictures... Surface rust on hood, roof. Bottom of driver door dinged/dented, rust on rear driver's side "dog leg" panel and both rear quarter panels, by wheel wells, rear driver's side bumper mount is broken and the left side of the bumper has been suspended by 550 cord- seriously (I did this just to get by until I could get another bumper but it completely hid the fact and I am just fine with it).

History (As I was told): The original owner purchased this vehicle in Laramie, WY in 1979. He had it until he passed, sometime around 2007, when it was sold by his grandson, who had inherited it but didn't need it, to the fellow I purchased it from, also living in Laramie, WY. He collected and fixed up old Jeep trucks for off-road use and told me that he had thought he'd get around to doing more with the Wagoneer, but just never did, so decided to sell it.

Since returning in January of '12, I've used it almost exclusively for my daily drive to work- about 9 miles, round trip. I do get it on the interstate occasionally, and it is really impressive how it handles/drives. It accelerates to highway speeds without a thought and is actually a pleasure to drive on the highway, even with all of the windows down. I have never "off-roaded" in it, but I have taken a 30 mile drive down the interstate and hit the dirt roads of the Vedauwoo and the Pole Mountain areas. The Wagoneer is just perfect for this type of outing and I have every confidence that, if I wanted to spend the gas money, it would get me wherever I wanted to go in it.

Why I'm selling it: With two young kids and my wife in school, my daily travel has increased drastically. So, it's not practical for me to keep this vehicle as my daily driver, anymore. While I have every confidence that it will get me where I need to go, I can't afford to put gas in it as often as I now have to. Hopefully someone else will be able to enjoy it the way I have, or even make it into something really special. Thanks for looking.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic CarsÂ” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.Â $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.Â $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.
