1989 Jeep Wrangler Yj With Factory Hardtop on 2040-cars
Cedar Falls, Iowa, United States
|
This is a 1989 (25 years old) Jeep Wrangler YJ with a factory hard top and 194,500 miles on it. It starts, runs, drives, brakes and works but it does have some issues which I’ll list below.
I bought it earlier in the summer as a “clean up & sell” project and I’ve been working on it off and on since purchasing it. I found out today (Tuffy did an inspection for me) that it has a crack in the exhaust manifold (estimated repair rated 4.5 hours labor by the pros). It also could probably use an oxygen sensor as the sensor is reacting to the cracked manifold and causing the engine to run somewhat rich with fuel through the carburetor.
It has a carburetor (straight-six, 5-speed manual) so for all you young people or old folks (like me) who forgot what driving a vehicle without fuel injection is like, it runs differently than modern cars. You have to warm it up before you drive it and (as mentioned) it’s running a little rich right now because of the oxygen sensor/manifold leak.
The clutch and throw-out bearing were replaced 100 miles ago. It had a complete oil/lube/filter at time also.
This Jeep has been in Iowa (I think) all 25 years so it has some rust. There is some on the frame (not terrible, but there) a couple of holes in the body (some open, one poorly repaired) and some that is just “surface” rust. There is a dent on the right/rear panel and a weld repair on the left front fender.
This Jeep rolled out of the factory painted white. The previous owner painted it Army olive green. I painted it red (rattle can, over-the-counter from Advanced Auto) over two coats of primer so the paint looks good but is nothing special.
The windshield has a large crack on the passenger side. All gauges (except the clock) work. Wipers work. All lights work. The heater/defroster works. It has all of the components of factory air but that does not work. It does have power steering that works well. There is factory carpeting throughout. All seat belts are present. The rear door works well.
It has four all-season snow tires on it that have about 90% tread left. The wheels are American Racing mags. Front shocks are near-new.
The factory hard top can be removed in 30 minutes (or less) and there is factory roll bars (padded). Take the doors off and you are in a basic Jeep. (I have factory mirrors for the non-roof option of driving). The rear window works and latches. The doors open and close securely. All door glass is present, unbroken and the windows roll up/down smoothly. Two panels of the hardtop glass have been replaced with Plexiglas and they are scratched.
It has an Alpine stereo/CD with a Bose speaker system that works well.
The title is clear and in my name so transfer can be immediate upon payment. There are no liens on the Jeep.
Payment is to be received within seven (7) calendar days after the auction ends. Only two forms of payment are acceptable. Either a Cashier’s Check (drawn on a major bank like Wells Fargo, etc.) or a USPS Money Order (no other brand acceptable).
I want it gone within 10 days of the end of the auction.
I make no warranty, expressed or implied. I’ve told you all I know about it. I hope I’ve covered everything I’ve found out about it but I haven’t owned it long enough to be sure.
Be sure you understand this Jeep has some issues so that you don’t waste your time or mine. Read the description carefully, look at the photos and decide. If you have 10 or fewer positive feedbacks email me before you bid as a courtesy to let me know you are serious. Otherwise, I will cancel your bid. Sorry for the “hardcore” attitude but I’ve been burned on eBay before. It’s not fun. |

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars
Thu, Mar 14 2024In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in. By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
Mopar introduces winter tire and wheel packages
Wed, Dec 2 2015Winter is coming, and Mopar will try to help drivers stay safe in the cold weather this year by offering a winter tire and wheel package for a variety of FCA US vehicles for the first time. The packages combine everything drivers need to be prepared for slick roads, including winter tires, steel wheels, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors. Even better, the company delivers them mounted, balanced, and ready for installation. Customers can order the bundles from dealers now. Mopar offers packages with the General Altimax Arctic tire on the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Cherokee, and Chrysler 200. All- and rear-wheel drive configurations of the Chrysler 300 get the Michelin X-Ice Xi3, and the all- and rear-drive Dodge Charger models use the Continental WinterContact SI. Depending on the vehicle, prices vary between $242 and $292 per wheel, and Mopar will expand the program to even more models next year. Spending the extra money on winter tires really can make a difference. Experts are clear that the specialized rubber simply works better when the weather gets cold. They can shorten braking distances and improve traction – even with all-wheel drive. Plus, winter tires can often last for more than one year, which spreads out the investment.
