 1980 Jeep Wagoneer. 3rd owner. Purchased in December '13 from Montana as a project. Runs and drives fine. Brakes work. All power options. Burgundy Vinyl interior. Was originally White w/woodgrain but was painted by previous owner. AMC 360 runs great, needs choke adjusted. 727 3 speed automatic trans. NP208 transfer case(part-time) trans shifts like its supposed to, and the 4wd works great. Dana 44 front, AMC20 rear(not sure of the gearing). Has dealer installed travel tank(secondary fuel tank). General tires with lots of tread. Had 48700 miles when I got it shipped here, but the speedo cable was not hooked up. Replaced it and its at 49000 miles now but the last time I was home it stopped working(I think the cable may have frayed from the angle through the firewall, but it did work). Body has maybe 2 or 3 very small spots with surface rust, but no rust through. A couple dings here and there. Frame is nice, and so are the edges all around underneath(Flares, body edges, etc.).Trim is all there and most chrome is good, maybe a few spots here and there that aren't great(it is a 34 year old truck, but I have extra parts available for most of the bad stuff(roof rack slats, tail light, bumpers, etc.) Paint is ugly. Interior isn't terrible, but the door panels are showing their age. seats are nice except for two tears on the back seat from a roof rack that a previous owner had in the backseat. Could use new carpet, but it looks like the front carpet has been replaced already at least once. headliner is nice and firm but has a few cigarette burns and small stains. most of the trim is there and in decent shape, it needs a reflector piece for the drivers side arm rest, and a door pull and some minor odds and ends, but I've seen a lot worse interiors. dash is nice except for a hole where there's what looks like speaker grating in the middle of the dash on top(see pictures)power locks not working, rear passenger window not working. driver side rear window works but may be off track. A/C has been converted to r134 already. Cruise control not working(I believe this is because the speedo cable is not hooked up) 

I bought this truck as a project, and spent the last 6 months gathering parts for it, but getting parts is easier than replacing them. I drive a truck for a living, and the 1 week I might get off in a given month just isn't enough time to devote to it, so I'd rather sell it than leave it sit and rust. It's not perfect and it's got its bumps but It runs and drives, and really it's only about 10% from being perfect, but that last 10% is the really expensive stuff(paint, interior). Honestly if you put another 4 or 5 grand into this thing it would be as good or better than anything they're selling on Wagonmasters. It just needs someone with the time to do it, or the money to make it someone else's problem.

Asking $5500obo for the Jeep and the parts and work that have already gone into it. I plan on selling all the spare parts I've accumulated to cover the rest of the money I've spent, but if you buy the Jeep and would like some of the parts, I'm sure we can work something out.

FCA reportedly joins the crowd skipping this year's Paris Motor Show

Thu, Jun 14 2018

It's likely FCA vehicles will not be seen at the Paris Motor Show this year. Automotive News is reporting that Fiats, Alfa Romeos, Jeeps and Abarths will not be a part at the show, based on information circulating in the French media. There's a possibility that Maseratis will be displayed at a special section dedicated to upscale cars, but Maserati too will not have a show stand of its own. Ferrari will have a stand, but as it happens, the supercar maker has been a standalone brand since 2015. Skipping the Paris show follows FCA's decision not to take part in the Frankfurt show last year, and the two shows alternate as the biggest autumnal automotive show in Europe. Volkswagen will also not attend the event, and neither will Ford, Nissan or Infiniti. This has become a problem for car shows worldwide, including Detroit's North American International Auto Show. FCA has not released a formal statement about the matter, but a FCA spokesman, quoted by the French magazine L'Argus, reportedly said that the sales and publicity brought in by the show stand would not justify the costs of attending. The news mirrors Volvo's newly announced plan to not take part at the next Geneva Motor Show, but to arrange "bespoke activities" to introduce its cars instead. Related Video:

2014 Jeep Cherokee

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

The Cherokee Is Dead. Long Live The Cherokee.
There are three sentences that, for this reviewer, define what needs to be conveyed about the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The first: it is very good.
Jeep spent 27 years building the Cherokee and its brand, from 1974 to 2001. Twelve years ago, the Cherokee nameplate rolled away into the distant hills and retirement, at least here in the NAFTA colonies, and it was replaced by a loaded word we knew as "Liberty."
