1983 JEEP
WAGONEER LIMITED, ONE OF A KIND EXAMPLE OF A WELL MAINTAINED,
GARAGE KEPT, ONE OWNER WAGONEER IN EXCELLENT SHOWROOM CONDITION!!
With a production run spanning nearly 30 years from 1963 to 1991, the first-generation SJ Jeep Wagoneer was one of the longest-running vehicles in U.S. automotive history. When the Wagoneer was introduced, about the only four-wheel-drive vehicles you could buy were utilitarian with decidedly military roots. This all-new offering from Jeep was designed from the ground up to be comfortable and luxurious -- and was the forefather to the modern luxury SUV. This it was the most car-like 4x4 available and proved quite popular. This example, an exceptionally preserved 1983 Wagoneer Limited, is loaded to the hilt with factory options, including leather upholstery, six-way power seats, power windows, power door locks, air conditioning, leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel, extra-thick carpet, power brakes, power steering, automatic transmission, cruise control, alloy wheels and a roof rack. This vehicle has been meticulously maintained and loved over the years. Best of all, this Jeep has been a Southern California truck all of its life and is as sound as they get, with absolutely no rust! and no leaks. The Dark Navy Blue Metallic paint is glossy like the first day and shows beautifully, the wood grain applique down both sides is original and in very good condition. Clearly this truck has lived its whole life in a garage. Panels are straight with good gaps, chrome, trim and bumpers all excellent. The underside looks incredible. Rust free California vehicle. The original alloy wheels are in like-new condition and are wearing brand new correct white wall tires. It's hard to believe this truck's interior, a warm saddle color leather is 30 years old. The upholstery, carpet and door panels are all original and look brand new. The woodgrain trim on the dash and horn pad is in perfect condition. This Wagoneer still has its original stereo system -- in perfect condition, of course. Even the seatbelt retractors work as they should, and the belts themselves are showing little, if any, wear. Under the hood is an AMC 360 cubic inch V8 mated to a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. And since it's a Jeep, it has the Selec-Trac four-wheel-drive system, which allows the driver to select either high or low range with the flip of a switch on the dash. And in keeping with its luxury appointments, this 4x4 has self-locking front hubs. With only 148,000 original miles, this Jeep is barely broken in. In short, it's one of the best-preserved classic Wagoneer's around. It is being sold on a clean & clear California title. This is a great SUV that will make the perfect toy for a collector or to take to the mountains, to the beach or just out for a cruise. These vehicles are now classics that are getting increasingly hard to find! Get out and drive!! Please feel free to contact me via phone (858) 733 1030 or email me with any questions! I have a lot more pictures of the interior / exterior / additional vehicle information! History For
the 1980's new luxury editions named Custom Wagoneer and Wagoneer
Brougham were added, and Wagoneer Limited was substantially upgraded
with luxury equipment. Limited buyers got bucket seats with leather
trim, a center armrest, and unique door panels; leather-wrapped steering
wheel; extra thick carpeting; woodgrain overlay on the lower dash; wide
woodgrain side and rear; roofrack; bright drip rail overlay; aluminum
wheels (still 15 x 7); a tire upgrade; various moldings; standard air
conditioning; a retractable cargo cover; power windows and locks;
cruise; tilt wheel; FM stereo; the visibility group; electric remote
control mirrors; bumper guards; six-way power front seats; and a rear
window defogger. The Jeep Wagoneer was the first luxury 4x4, sold and produced through numerous marques from 1963 to 1991. A "sport utility vehicle" (SUV) for decades before the term was even coined, the 4WD Wagoneer saw only minor mechanical changes during its 28-year plus production run, the third longest in U.S. automotive history. Introduced as a successor to the Willys Jeep Station Wagon that
had been built since the end of World War II, the Wagoneer pioneered
the sport utility vehicle concept. In spite of its pickup truck chassis
and boxy shape it was more carlike than any 4x4 on the market. Compared
with offerings from General Motors, International Harvester, and Land Rover—
which were producing utilitarian work-oriented vehicles with spartan
truck-like interiors — the Wagoneer's luxury set it apart. Based on the Jeep SJ platform, the revolutionary Wagoneer sported an advanced overhead cam inline 6 cylinder,
and offered features unheard of at the time in any other mainstream 4WD
vehicle, such as an independent front suspension, power steering, and automatic transmission. From
its introduction in late 1962 as a 1963 model, until its cancellation
in 1991 (or 1992, depending on the source), the Jeep Wagoneer was one of
the few American vehicles that stayed in production for virtually 30
years. The Wag even managed to remain evergreen during its entire long
run. The Wagoneer made its debut seven years before Land Rover launched its Range Rover in Great Britain, and 24 years before that upscale marque appeared in the United States. It was succeeded by the Jeep Grand Cherokee. |

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Alfa Romeo will gain a Jeep Compass-based SUV
Fri, Nov 30 2018It was reported earlier this week that FCA would invest into its Italian factories to ramp up production at currently underutilized locations. Those plans have now been clarified with official information from FCA, as reported by Automotive News. The entire investment is worth $5.7 billion. First of all, Alfa Romeo will gain a new compact SUV based on the Jeep Compass architecture. The still-unnamed model will be available as a plug-in hybrid, and it will be built in Pomigliano, Italy. No U.S. availability has yet been announced, but it would not be odd to see the Compass-based model sold below the Stelvio in the States. The last time Alfa Romeo had anything similar in its model portfolio was when it offered Crosswagon-badged four-wheel-drive versions of the 156 and 159 wagons. As for the Jeep Compass itself, it will begin to be built at the Melfi plant in Italy. The rumored small "baby" Jeep slotting under the Renegade has not yet been officially mentioned. Fiat will introduce a battery electric 500, built in Turin, and the Pomigliano plant that will make the compact Alfa Romeo SUV will also be used to build a mild hybrid version of the Panda city car. The 500X will gain a PHEV variant. The Stelvio platform will also spawn a corresponding SUV for Maserati, and FCA also mentioned Maserati will introduce a new, unnamed model it will make in Modena. Automotive News quotes Italian press as saying this will be the Alfieri coupe and convertible, also offered as battery electric versions. Related Video:
