1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Base Sport Utility 4-door 5.9l on 2040-cars
Neosho, Missouri, United States
This is a great place to start on a classic GW. I am selling this 1990 model "as is" for my father. The frame and body on this jeep are very solid and are nearly rust free. It would make a great total restoration project or a cool ride with just a quick engine swap. I will do my best to describe this vehicle accurately below. It was (barely) driven to where it is sitting this past September but is currently in NON RUNNING condition with the carb removed and in the cargo area.That is also when these pictures were taken but it hasn't moved since. It will have to be trailered to your location. The carb was flooding out, it has a bad rear main seal oil leak and a distinct rattle when running. A complete engine rebuild will be neccessary. The rear tail light wiring harness has been removed and is in a bag in the back floorboard. It was starting to fail in places and needs some TLC/ re-assembly. It is missing one AC hose, the aluminum trim from the extreme rear edge of the roof and one AC vent. The front grill has been squished on the passengers side by the headlight assembly. It originally had a rear wind deflector that has been removed. For some reason when you hook up the battery the buzzer that tells you the key is in the ignition when your door is open comes on and won't go off. The paint is oxidized, has surface rust on the hood and roof, and will need to be replaced. The fabric from the headliner was coming down and has been removed. The front seats are cracked and showing their age and there is a bare spot in the carpet in the back floorboard. Windshield is cracked. The drivers side rear tire has a slow air leak. With the exception of the above negative points, this Jeep has minimal surface rust and is a straight, very re-buildable project. I started rebuilding an 88 several years ago that was in much worse shape than this one. I wish I had waited a couple years for this as a starting place. I have a clear title in hand. |

Watch the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hellcat blast off
Thu, Jan 21 2016It's all but official. Jeep will produce a Hellcat version of the Grand Cherokee with crazy horsepower. We mean crazy. Today, our spy shooters have captured video footage of this demonic creation. It's pretty short, but you can see a dark Grand Cherokee launch with vigor and then brake hard to a halt. We think we detect the whine of a supercharger amid the commotion. Jeep boss Mike Manley has said on video that the JGC Hellcat will arrive before the end of next year. Specs aren't known, but it seems likely that the Jeep Hellcat will share the blown 6.2-liter V8 used in the Charger and Challenger Hellcats. We've also heard rumors the Trackhawk name could be used for this vehicle. In those applications, the beastly Hemi pumps out 707 manic horsepower. Really, why wouldn't you do this? Jeep sales surged 22 percent around the world last year to 1.2 million, the brand's best year ever. Clearly, Jeep decided it was time to add an extreme performance vehicle. Jeep already sells an SRT model that pumps out 475 hp, so adding a top-end Hellcat seems logical. And a Hell of a lot of fun. Related Video:
Some Jeep Cherokees and Chrysler 200s to get standard stop-start in 2015
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Automakers the world over are striving to find ways to make their models more efficient, and Chrysler has a solution for some versions of the 2015 Chrysler 200 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee (2014 model shown). The Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the 200 and the 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 in the Cherokee are getting a slight boost later this year thanks to the addition of Chrysler's Engine Stop-Start system as standard equipment. The company predicts modest gains - a three-percent improvement in fuel economy and a three percent reduction in CO2 emissions with the new tech compared to without it. While it's not much, those who sit in traffic a lot may see a difference.
Chrysler's stop/start system uses a high-speed starter motor to restart the vehicle in a claimed a third of a second. It works by detecting when the vehicle comes to a stop and turning off the engine. A more powerful battery maintains all of the model's accessories while it sits. When the driver lets off the brake, the car starts up again to drive away. There is even a button in the cabin to turn the ESS off, if desired.
The Jeep will be the first to receive ESS in the third quarter of this year to coincide with the start of production of the 2015 model-year version. The 200 will follow in the fourth quarter as a rolling change in production.
NHTSA still mulling crash tests for recalled Jeeps
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Well, no one should ever accuse the government of not giving things plenty of thought. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still debating whether it will retest any of the 1.56 million 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokees and 2002 to 2007 Libertys that were part of a recall regarding fires after rear-end collisions. And yes, this debate has been going on for over a month. In other news...
The recall dustup started in early June, when Chrysler took the unusual position of refusing a recall request from NHTSA regarding placement of the fuel tank on the effected vehicles. NHTSA said a collision could cause a fire, a position Chrysler took issue with. Extensive negotiations ensued, with Chrysler agreeing to fit certain Jeeps with trailer hitches, which it said would provide some protection to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle in the event of a collision.
Part of the issue rests with the amount of data that needs to be processed, according to The Detroit News. NHTSA administrator David Strickland said during a Washington Auto Press Association meeting, "There's a lot of data and Chrysler is being very cooperative in giving us more data." Until that information has been sorted, it looks like re-testing will still be up for debate.
