Up for sale is a 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. It is a good solid foundation for a really neat Wagoneer. There has been some money spent on the drivetrain and other mods to make it unique. I will be highlighting this Jeep in three main paragraphs. They are Exterior, Interior and Drivetrain. If I happen to leave anything out please use the contact information I have listed to ask.

Exterior: The body has seen one repaint since factory. The sand metallic paint code was used, it is very crisp and cleans up well. There is no rust in the frame or in the body itself. Except for one place in the rear quarter on the passenger side. I have it pictured, it is not through and is easily repairable. The wood grain is in very good shape still. The bumpers and all other trim are original. While not perfect they shine up very well. All the glass is still clean. I will rate the body at a modest 8 on a 1-10 scale. I think with a little more TLC it could be a 9!

Interior: It is all original on the interior. The carpet and headliner are both showing wear. The front seats, mostly the bottom areas have a good bit of cracking. The rear seat is very nice. The dash is not all cracked up but does have some bowing on one end. I will try and display everything on the interior fairly. It could use some attention or would be probably passable if used for camping/4 wheeling/etc. The power windows work. The power locks work. The air conditioning even still works and is Ice cold.  I will rate the interior at a 7 on a 1-10 scale.

Drivetrain: My Favorite part. The 360 engine runs strong and always cranks with zero issues. It holds 25 psi of oil pressure at hot idle and goes up to 50+ while driving. The previous owner has a added a aluminum intake, 4 barrel Edelbrock carburetor, Performance camshaft, Long tube headers, Flowmaster and a high flow cat. Along with the engine upgrades they have a added a Dodge 5 Speed Manual transmission with hydraulic clutch system. It shifts awesome and was set up right. The 4 wheel drive system still functions correctly. The Dayton A/t Tires are all over 75% tread. With the upgrades its a awesome sleeper/cruiser/driver.

In Closing: This is a all there Grand Wagoneer. These are getting harder to find. The upgrades that have been done make it even more unique and hard to compare to others. I have set a fair reserve price. This vehicle could not be duplicated for what I would take for it. I have the right to end this auction at any time. As always this Jeep is being sold as is/ where is. I have a clean title in hand along with a perfect Carfax.Thanks for looking and God Bless!

FCA's shifter fiasco proves novel gear selectors are a bad idea

Tue, Feb 9 2016

What's wrong with PRNDL? Why are automakers trying to overly complicate the simple task of selecting gears? If there's any lesson to learn from the recent news that NHTSA is investigating 853,000 Fiat Chrysler vehicles over its problematic gear selectors, it's that the trend of fancy shifters needs to stop. Now. Last year, NHTSA opened an investigation into Jeep Grand Cherokee models, and has now expanded this probe to include the 2012-14 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger. The problem? The shifter – assembled by ZF – is confusing for many drivers. "Testing ... indicates that operation of the (electronic) shifter is not intuitive and provides poor tactile and visual feedback to the driver, increasing the potential for unintended gear selection," a NHTSA document states. More than 100 crashes and over a dozen injuries are linked to this problem, according to The Detroit Free Press. To us, the problem isn't just limited to FCA. These unnecessarily novel gear selectors are spreading like wildfire across the industry. Honda and Acura use a weird pushbutton setup. Lincolns have buttons on the dashboard. Jaguar's shifter electronically raises out of the center console. Mercedes uses a stalk with up-for-Reverse, down-for-Drive, push-for-Neutral arrangement. And what the hell is BMW thinking with its M cars? FCA has since abandoned the confusing shifters in question. The 300, Charger, and Grand Cherokee now use the rotary shift dial that's quickly proliferating across the company's brands. Simplistic gear selectors might not be sexy, but no one ever complained about not being able to find the right gear in a Hyundai Sonata. What's most interesting is that this NHTSA investigation could push FCA – and possibly other automakers – to redesign vehicle functions that otherwise operate as designed. Just because most people will never have a problem putting a Dodge Charger in Reverse doesn't mean there isn't a flaw with the design. But perhaps a more simplistic solution – good ol' PRNDL – would have prevented these issues from the start.

Fiat Chrysler target 850k sales in China by 2018

Sun, 11 May 2014

Behind the vanguard of numerous Jeep models, two Chryslers, a smattering of Fiats and Alfa Romeos and local production through a joint venture with Guangzhou Automotive Group (GAG), Fiat Chrysler wants to increase sales in China more than six-fold by 2018. The group sold 130,000 cars in China in 2013, the aim for 2018 being 850,000 cars.
Ultimately it's expected that the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Wrangler, Renegade, the coming Grand Wagoneer and a sub-Renegade-sized crossover will either be built in or exported to the People's Republic. The Chrysler Town & Country and 300 will join the export list in 2016 and 2018 respectively, according to a report in Automotive News.
With a number of those vehicles not in production or perhaps even envisaged yet, and others not due on the local market until 2018, it will be interesting to see how Fiat Chrysler plans to achieve the target in the specified timeframe. The joint venture with GAG builds two products now, the Dodge Dart-based Fiat Viaggio launched two years ago - supposedly designed just for China - and the just-launched Fiat Ottimo, a hatchback version of the Viaggio. Fiat projected 300,000 Viagio sales in its first two years, that number has been adjusted downward to 94,000 and there doesn't appear to be an analyst alive that sees a good future for Fiat in China's overrun mainstream market. Still, last year's 130,000 group sales in China is a huge jump from 2012 sales of 66,000 units, but less than half the 300,000 units it projected.
