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!

Chrysler Recalling Nearly 907,000 Cars, SUVs

Fri, Oct 17 2014

Nearly 907,000 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep SUVs and cars are being recalled for alternators that can fail and heated power mirror wiring that can short and cause minor fires. The recalls, posted Thursday by U.S. safety regulators, push the total number of recalls so far this year 544, totaling a record of more than 52 million vehicles. The largest of Thursday's recalls covers nearly 470,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Chrysler 300s, and Dodge Chargers, Challengers and Durangos from the 2011 through 2014 model years. The alternators can fail, causing the 3.6-liter V6 engines to stall unexpectedly. The problem also can cause the electrical system to fail, as well as knock out power-assisted steering, antilock brakes and electronic stability control. It can even cause fire or smoke, according to documents Chrysler filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA opened an investigation into the problem in July, and Chrysler began its own probe in August. The company analyzed warranty complaints and alternators that had failed. The alternator generates electricity to recharge the battery and run other devices. Chrysler investigators traced the problem to heat fatigue in an alternator diode. Chrysler said it received 322 complaints about the problem, while 55 people complained to NHTSA. The company said it knows of one crash related to the problem, but no injuries or fires. The company will replace the alternators with upgraded versions for free. Owners will be notified in November. The company says customers who see warning lights or suspect a problem should contact their dealers. The recall affects cars and SUVs sold mainly in the U.S. and Canada, but some were sold in Mexico and overseas markets. The second recall covers almost 437,000 Jeep Wranglers from 2011 through 2013. Water can find its way into the heated power mirror wiring harness and cause corrosion. That can cause a short and could cause a minor fire and smoke, as well as cause loss of function of the mirror. The problem was discovered in February after three Wranglers in Canada were damaged. Chrysler says it has 26 complaints about the problem, but it knows of no fires, crashes or injuries. Dealers will move the wiring and install a protective shield to keep water out at no cost to owners, starting in December. Most of the Wranglers are in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, but more than 78,000 were sold overseas.

Stellantis will build four electric vehicles in Italy, say union reps

Wed, Jun 16 2021

MILAN — Stellantis will produce four medium-segment electric vehicles, of different brands, at its Melfi plant in southern Italy from 2024, the UILM union said on Tuesday. Since Stellantis was formed at the beginning of this year through the merger of Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, production in Italy has been under scrutiny for costing more than elsewhere in Europe. "Stellantis announced that Melfi would be the first plant in Italy to get new models, based on post-2022 business plan," UILM said in a statement after workers' representatives met with the carmaker at Italy's industry ministry in Rome. Future production at Melfi will be based on a single enhanced production line that will merge the two existing ones, the union said, adding the restructuring will leave production capacity at the site unchanged at around 400,000 units. UILM's head, Rocco Palombella, said unions had not received all the answers they wanted as Stellantis was still working on its new business plan. "But the positive element is that the company has not absolutely called for structural redundancies," he said after the meeting. Stellantis Chief Executive Carlos Tavares has said the group would present its business plan late this year or in early 2022. Stellantis, the world's fourth-largest carmaker, gave no details about what was discussed at the meeting. In an earlier statement the company said it was working "with determination and speed" to support the energy transition of all its Italian sites. Italy's Industry minister, Giancarlo Giorgetti, however, said in a separate statement after the meeting that Stellantis had yet to decide where it would build its third electric battery plant in Europe. Stellantis, which already has two battery factory projects in France and Germany, has said adding gigafactories in Europe and the United States would be decided this year. The company is holding talks on this with Rome, as Italy is one of its main production hubs in Europe. Related video: Green Plants/Manufacturing Alfa Romeo Fiat Jeep Citroen Opel Peugeot Stellantis

NHTSA investigating 2015 Jeep Cherokee after new owner's total-loss fire [w/video]

Fri, Jan 16 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2015 model year Jeep Cherokee after a single example caught on fire in California. This investigation will decide the cause, scope and frequency of this possible problem and will decide whether a recall is necessary for 50,415 potentially affected examples. According to Automotive News, the Cherokee's owner only purchased the CUV about two days before the fire, and it had been driven less than 100 miles. The new buyer reported parking the Jeep, and noticed a smell like smoke. Shortly after, the vehicle was consumed in flames. There were no injuries, but much of the incident was captured on video. NHTSA is also trying to decide whether another report is related. In this case, a driver noticed smoke under the hood of a 2015 Cherokee with just 45 miles on it, while driving at 60 miles per hour. According to the complaint to the agency, "the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired," but FCA was notified. Read below NHTSA's announcement of the Preliminary Evaluation.
