PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU CONSIDER BIDDING ON THIS JEEP

You are bidding on a complete and running unrestored original 1982 Jeep Wagoneer SJ Limited in Jamaica Beige with $4500 of recent mechanical work.

Dear Jeep Lovers and Wagoneer Lovers:

This is an original 1982 Jeep Wagoneer SJ. '82 was the first year it had all the luxury options. All the original features/options work unless otherwise stated below.
  The body is "high" miles (not for its age) (199k) but most of that was spent being towed behind an RV.  Then the Jeep sat for many years.   It has a clear Colorado title. This vehicle has spent its entire life in rust-free Northern Colorado and was originally purchased in Greeley, Colorado then registered in LaSalle, CO, then Ault, CO. It has a clean Carfax report which I will be happy to email to you or you can pull one on your own.  It is a daily driver and starts the first time, every time, no matter the weather.  The carpet is in excellent shape with no major tears or holes.  The paint is original with no major rust and no dents unless otherwise stated.  Wheels are original.  Upholstery is original.  A list of what is new (mechanically and cosmetically) is listed below.  Receipts for all the work I have done can be provided.  

Remember, this is a 30 year old vehicle.  It will never be perfect unless you do a frame off restoration.  This is an unrestored original which means if something needed to be fixed or replaced, it was done (as you would on any car).  But is was never repainted or removed from the frame to restore in any way.  Recently, an unrestored original Wagoneer sold for $17500 on eBay.  One sold via Craigslist right here in Colorado for $21000.  They are highly desirable and have an amazing following.  This is your chance to buy one knowing exactly what has been done to it and exactly what's left. I have provided below a list of what is wrong with the Jeep still that I have not gotten to yet.  I will do my best to disclose everything down to the last detail.  I will answer every question you have.

WHAT STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE/REPAIRED??
I am still in the process of restoring the Wagoneer to 100% and there is NOT MUCH LEFT to do.  This list may seem long, but I have intentionally included even the smallest issue so there are no surprises.  All of this work is simple and can be done easily. 
• Rear springs work fine but need to be replaced to restore original ride height.
• Transmission leaks which has been diagnosed at the front pump seal.  This needs to be repaired and causes the transmission to not want to engage into 1st gear when it is cold.  However this rarely happens and goes away after a few blocks.
• The exterior sweep molding on all 4 doors has been removed because it was dry-rotted from sitting for so long.  These are available for $13 each on line.  I can provide you this information.
• Power mirrors did work until the wires were pulled off during work inside the door panel.  With a schematic, you could solder the connections back on.
• Tires need to be replaced.  Tread is good but they are dry rotted from sitting in storage for so long.
• Two small rust holes behind the rear wheels need repaired
• Upholstery needs redone as stated above
• Radio works but there is a short that cuts off the left speakers occasionally
• The internal door handle mechanisms need to be lubed
• There is a small ding in the hood less than the size of a dime. This is the ONLY dent.  I tried to take a picture of it but it is so small it won't show up in the pictures.  It is smaller than a single hail dent.
• The rear window switch needs to be replaced.  This switch was already purchased and will come with the vehicle.  The window works from the switch on the dash but not with a key from the tailgate.  You will just have to install it.
• There is a small hole in the carpet in the cargo area right near the edge.
• There is a small piece of trim missing on the drivers side rear door (that you wouldn't even notice unless I told you) See pictures.
• The windshield has been sealed with sealant to prevent leaking.  It is barely noticeable.

Email me any and all questions and happy bidding!

NHTSA investigating why Jeep recall fix is taking so long

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

Jeep's saga with the National Traffic Safety Administration and the voluntary campaign to repair 1.56 million vehicles for allegedly unsafe trailer hitches, is getting yet another chapter. The controversy appeared to finally be over in January when the automaker found a supplier for the replacement parts. Nothing is ever that easy, though, and the government regulator is now requesting documents from the company to clarify why the repairs are taking so long to begin.
Jeep parent company Chrysler has until July 16 to submit documents and answers to NHTSA explaining the situation. The regulator claims that despite its compromise to inspect and repair the models with improper hitches in June 2013, Chrysler didn't find a part supplier until December and didn't order the replacements until January. The government agency believes that the first components weren't manufactured until May of this year and vehicles may not actually be repaired until as late as August. According to the report, if the Chrysler doesn't supply what NHTSA is asking for, the agency could "take additional appropriate action as warranted."
Throughout this entire process, Chrysler has asserted that the vehicles met the applicable crash test standards of the time, and it has kept NHTSA abreast of the repair activity. In a recently released statement it said that the regulator analyzed eight rear impact reconstruction tests and found the replacement hitch to be safe. To keep up with the high demand for replacements, Chrysler is working with multiple suppliers, and they are running three shifts, six days a week to get the parts ready as soon as possible.

Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Once 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.

Jeep Cherokee finally dealer-bound

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

We had our First Drive of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee last month, but it appears that prospective buyers won't have too much longer to finally get time behind the wheel of the new small Jeep.
Automotive News is reporting that after a two-month delay, Jeep dealers will finally start receiving their first shipments of the new Cherokee, in the next 10 days. A Chrysler spokesperson confirmed to Autoblog that the Cherokee is indeed on its way to Jeep dealers.
According to AN, about 23,000 Cherokees have been built since production commenced back in June, but potential powertrain issues forced Jeep to make adjustments to the Cherokee along the way. Automotive News says that in order to make sure there are no issues with the Cherokee before it reaches customers, it is testing each vehicle after it rolls off the assembly line at a rented test track near the vehicle's Toledo North Assembly Plant.
