Up for auction is an incredibly well maintained and CLEAN 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. EVERYTHING works on this car and it is very original, yet has many practical upgrades making it easier to enjoy for the modern driver. The car has 171,000 miles on it and is an incredibly strong & smooth running car.
This car was purchased new from Colorado AMC JEEP, Inc. in Denver, Colorado by a couple in Littleton, CO. According to ownership records, it remained in Colorado (between Littleton, Aurora and Ft. Collins) until 2006. Judging by the extreme rust-free undercarriage and frame (see pictures) i was told that the previous owners used it only as a summer car for going to the "lake".

This is not a perfect car by any means, it has numerous touch-ups around the car, but it is a heck of a "10-footer" that gets tons of attention everywhere she goes. People can't believe how well preserved it is, especially when I tell them it's unrestored. The glass all around the car is in great condition - no scratches or cracks anywhere. Just 1-2 tiny chips a tad larger than a pin-head (don't obstruct visibility or anything, really have to look to find them)

There is 1 spot on the car that has significant rust in the lower/underside portion of the RH Quarter panel.
There are a few other spots on the car that have either bubbling/missing paint, but overall aren't terribly distracting from the beauty of the car.. again this is not a $35,000 Wagonmaster car and my reserve is set very reasonably. Also each front corner of each front fender have had larger areas of touch-up performed (prior to my ownership) as seen in pictures/video.

Major maintenance completed include the following:
At 129,000 Miles:
Transmission professionally rebuilt w/new torque converter ect.
New Power Steering Pump Installed

At 135,000 Miles:
Carburetor Rebuilt

2012-2014:
Air Conditioning system converted/upgraded to the R-134 system
Ignition system upgraded to the new TFI system (Starts great, better fuel efficiency, Horsepower & Torque)
With TFI upgrade came new distributor cap & rotor (larger style), & new MSD Premium wires
New ignition coil
New Spark Plugs
New Aluminum Radiator
Alternator overhauled by alternator specialist
2 window zippers replaced
Brake fluid flush
New right front brake caliper
New rear wheel brake cylinders
New Headliner professionally installed with new factory fabric (Extra material comes with car)
JVC Bluetooth Radio professionally installed with HandsFree mic over rearview mirror. Syncs with your iPhone or Android ect for handsfree talking/Pandora/Aux input. Works great! I do have the original cassette/radio to go with car.
New speakers installed (original covers still installed to maintain original look)

Records/receipts of regularly servicing transmission and transfer case which support why the car drives great for it's mileage.

Video: I will try to put up a video I made (forgive me for my lack of camera skills) or if it's not good quality, but should help illustrate the condition of car. If you don't see the video posted here, please message me and I will try to put it up on Youtube and send you a link.

EVERYTHING WORKS: All 5 power windows including tailgate window which works perfect by either the switch up front on dash, or the key operation in the tailgate.
4X4, Cruise Control, All gauges including gas gauge function perfectly. Bluetooth radio works perfect, Air Conditioning and heat works perfect.

This car starts incredibly easily even cold and goes right into the choke high-idle and once it is given 20 seconds or so to warm up, just tap the pedal and it goes into a normal idle and you're ready for non-stalling driving!
This car drives, stops and accelerates great as it should. The power steering works perfectly, the car stops great (no grinding or pulsing when applying brakes, and stays straight) and this car has POWER! it really accelerates well and i have driven other wagoneers, maybe it's the TFI upgrade, but even at 50MPH, when you add fuel it really accelerates great and smoothly. The transmission works and shifts perfectly as it should, no slipping or timing issues or late/early shifting.

Also- I do have the original AMC Jeep owner's booklet with even the original cassette tape intact and original owners manual.  If you have any questions, please email me and I will try to answer any questions as promptly as possible. Buyer is responsible for all shipping/delivery expenses but I can help arrange anything locally here for pick-up as needed. Also- You'll see in the pictures that the back right armrest is not attached to the door panel. I do have it, just needs to be re-attached. Good Luck Bidding!

2014 Jeep Cherokee dreams of Moab, crawls on stage [w/video]

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee inched its way onto the stage at the New York Auto Show today, proving that at least the "Trail Rated" version of the SUV is more than just a controversial unique odd fresh face in the mid-size segment. After the short, simulated Moab run by the Trailhawk model, the gray four-door was joined on the stage by a burgundy Limited model - the luxurious highway variant.
As a recap, the all-new 2014 Cherokee rides atop a modular Alfa Romeo-derived platform (we know it from the Dodge Dart) and will be offered in both front- and all-wheel drive models with a choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (rated at 184 horsepower) and a new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 (developing 271 horsepower) engine. A nine-speed automatic is standard and no less than three different all-wheel drive systems are available.
Of the four different models (Sport, Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk), we like the rugged looks and capabilities offered by the Trailhawk the best. Overlook the red tow hooks and check out its more aggressive wheel/tire package, flared fenders, reduced breakover angle and lack of brightwork in our gallery of live images from the New York show. Skid plates and off-road capable tires round out the package. Read all the details in the official press release below.

Chinese Jeep production confirmed with Fiat, Guangzhou agreement

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Fiat has just finalized a deal originally set up in January between it and China's Guangzhou Automotive Group to bring Jeep production to China. It remains unclear which models will be built, although we're wagering that it'll be the 2014 Cherokee. What we do know, now, is where production will take place.
According to Automotive News, Guangzhou originally wanted production to take place in its home assembly plant in its namesake city. Fiat has battled to send production to a joint venture facility established between Guangzhou and Fiat in the town of Changsha. The joint facility won out, and now the factory, originally built in 2010 with a 140,000-unit capacity, will see Jeeps rolling out of it.
Currently, the GAC-Fiat factory produces the Fiat Viaggio, a jointly developed product that is closely related to America's Dodge Dart. And while it remains unclear as to which model will join the Viaggio on the assembly line, that model is understood to ride on Fiat's Compact platform. The only Jeep to share those underpinnings is the new Cherokee, so there's not much connecting of dots needed to see why this scenario would make sense.

Jeep Cherokee appears in Chrysler's second Super Bowl spot

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

The second of three spots produced by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles for this year's Super Bowl featured the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Aired during the game's half time show, the minute-long ad didn't strike as anything new or innovative from an automaker with a reputation for above average Super Bowl spots, but it did show the controversially styled Cherokee in the best light possible.
Called Restless, the commercial shows young, adventurous types doing the sorts of things that young, adventurous types do: surfing, skateboarding, cliff jumping, staring off into the sky with a pensive expression, etc. Scroll down to watch Restless for yourself and let us know in Comments if Jeep managed to hold your attention during half time.
