If you're over 40, you'll surely remember the original "King of the Big 4x4 Luxury Cruisers" before Cadillac, Range Rover, Lincoln and Mercedes got into the act. It was the gorgeous, luxurious, fully equipped Jeep Grand Wagoneer. This basic body lasted from 1966 to 1991 (the second longest run of a single body style, exceeded only by the original VW Beetle!) , and was popular with the jet set in the North East, particularly the Hamptons of New York, Miami, and in Beverly Hills, Carmel and in the rich suburbs of San Francisco. They have become quite collectable, with a number of major high-end restorers now specializing exclusively in Wagoneers. Google Wagonmaster.com, as an example. Also check out the Wagoneer history on Wikipedia. A strong aftermarket parts industry now supports restorers of these classic luxury SUV's. Values have risen fast, as they're becoming rarer. What's special is not only the fully loaded luxury interior with the knee deep carpet and power everything, but the fact that this is a Jeep. Large and powerful, this car will go anywhere, any time. This specific G.W. isn't in show condition, but presents itself as a very competent and very clean original specimen. It works well, is missing nothing, and (give or take a paint job) is pretty darned presentable! But it's more than just something to look at. This Jeep is a SERIOUS on-off road 4 wheel drive, ready for the mountains, snow, sand or rocks, and it's amazingly maneuverable, making U-turns tighter than most small cars could.
I am the 3rd owner. The 2nd owner had it about 19 years of its life, and he used it for what it was designed for, took great care of it, thus, we're lucky to have it in good, sound working condition. The AMC built 360 V-8 and Chrysler Torque Flite 3 speed automatic transmission run smooth and quiet. The freshly re-done R-12 air conditioning is powerful and cold. The interior is mostly original and very nice for its age. The front seat and headliner have been re-done. It even has the original Jeep carpeted floor mats and roll-out cargo cover! It's important to note the expensive wood grain trim is in AMAZING condition. This is the most expensive part of restoration on most of these cars. Not a problem on this one. Even the original leather wrapped steering wheel is nice. The exterior is very clean, but the early style clear coat is peeling off, which is hard to see in the pictures. The car needs a paint job, if you want to display it. I have a bid for single stage repaint of $1375, if you'd like me to get it done for you.
The tires are very good all season radials, plus I have an extra set of the rare factory wheels, mounted with a set of serious off road tires, and some extra wheel centers (rare) which you can have if you like. I also have a set of the big factory service manuals in mint condition, and a lot of early service records. Call me for complete information and history. The car is in Fresno, CA, and all 3 owners lived right here in warm, dry Central California, where car bodies last forever. The old Wagoneers were famous for rusting through quickly. This car has no rust. What a great piece of history!
On a completely different note, this car, just as it is, would make the ultimate daily driver for a mountain man or a weekend off-road hobbyist who really loves big Jeeps or carries 6 passengers. It's strong, sure footed, competent, powerful and it also tows big trailers well. This is a non-computer controlled non-fuel injection straightforward car from the past, and it's simple to fix. Plusd it'll carry 6 adults up a "wall" in deep snow or sand! It recently passed the California Smog test, and will pass again.
559-892-1941 will get you in touch with me, for all the information and history you'd like to get. You're welcome to visit for an inspection. I can get you more pictures, and answer many other questions if you call or email. This is a fun car to own, and is a hard worker as well as a luxury cruiser. This is a no-reserve auction. Highest bidder at close will own the Jeep. I have sold many of my toy cars on ebay over 14 years. I buy them, work on them, drive them for awhile, and move on to the next project. I'm old and the hobby keeps my heart ticking! I do have a friend over on the coast, who keeps "making noises" about buying the car. I MIGHT stop the auction for a bid more in line with the Wagoneer's actual value. I hate doing that, but this opening bid is less than half the value of the car. Nonetheless, there is NO RESERVE and, assuming the probability that the auction runs its week, I will sell to the high bidder. Best of luck!! Thanks!

Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Once again, Chrysler had one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials with its two-minute Whole Again Jeep spot, which was used to highlight its Operation SAFE Return program for US military personnel returning home from active duty. As part of this campaign, Jeep announced today that it will be donating up to $300,000 to the United Services Organizations (USO), and you can help.
Simply tweet using the #joinOSR hashtag on Twitter, visit the Yahoo! homepage or go to the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website, and Jeep will donate $1 to a fund that provides returning troops things like employment assistance and incentives to buy new vehicles. Jeep is also donating to this charity to the tune of $250 for each Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (including the Freedom Edition model) and Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition model sold.

Fiat Chrysler wins top Total Quality Award for first time
Mon, Jul 20 2015The Strategic Vision Total Quality Awards are 20 years old in 2015, and Chrysler has never topped the awards before. Until now, that is. Fiat Chrysler takes the overall award on the corporate level with six segment leaders from Fiat, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. The Fiat 500 won Small Multi-Function Car, the 500e won Small Alternative Powertrain, the Dodge Challenger tied at the top in the Specialty Coupe category alongside the very un-coupe Mini Cooper Countryman, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited took the Entry SUV category, the Dodge Durango won in Mid-Size SUV, and Ram took the overall in Best Non-Luxury Brand. The accolade means FCA has gone from one segment winner in 2010 to overall victory in five years. Cars have gotten so good, says Strategic Vision, that it is harder than ever to win. In fact, says the group, 18 years ago 85 percent of all vehicle brands had more than half a problem per vehicle. This year, no brand has more than half a problem per vehicle. The organization measures "over 155 specific aspects of the customer's experience," and scores are based on input from more than 46,000 customers. Other notables in and near the winner's circle include Volkswagen and General Motors, who tied for second place on the corporate scale, one point behind FCA. The Mini Cooper Roadster scored the highest of any model, the Corvette Stingray Convertible and Coupe scored the second- and third-highest. The Chevrolet Colorado is the first domestic Standard Pickup winner in more than ten years, and the Nissan Titan carried the Full-Size Pickup category. The press release below has all the details on how winners and losers are selected, and the full list of automakers and how they finished. "The Customer's 'Total' Experience Defines Quality, Fiat Chrysler Scores Highest in Total Quality," says Strategic Vision The 2015 Total Quality Awards® SAN DIEGO, Friday, July 17, 2015 — Unknown to many, when some consumer research firms rank a car company's quality performance they often do so by simply "counting problems." In the past, this may have been acceptable, but in today's modern and efficient manufacturing world the difference between the worst brand and best brand is LESS than half-a-problem per vehicle. Thus, any "quality ranking" based on this method is severely lacking in the complete picture of the "Total" Quality experience that customers actually use to judge their product ownership.
