HISTORY: I wanted this '89 Jeep Grand Wagoneer in the rare old classic style when I first saw it in 2000. It's unusual in that it has the woodgrain paneling delete option. I was living in Seattle at the time and had fallen in love with these vehicles since I regularly drive in winter over the mountain passes and across country often pulling a trailer. My renter, a certified Swedish machinist with good mechanical skills, was restoring my collection of Jeep GW's. This came to us for full restoration at 135,000 miles by the grandson of the original owner when he saw the work being done on my other GW's. After a full restoration, and 5 years, the grandson sold it back to me. Simply put, I have to start getting rid of my car collection since I'm not Jay Leno and must concentrate on restoration of my absolute "keepers" ('47 Cadillac convertible, '69 Cuda 340 "S", etc). Please see my other eBay listings.

CONDITION: Everything that usually goes wrong with age was rebuilt during the restoration, including doors, tailgate, stereo system, transmission, brakes, motor, etc. Door hinges are tight, tailgate works like it should , Carpet and seat are in excellent condition. Brakes, tranny, engine, transfer case work well. No drivetrain leaks have been observed. The effective "age" of this GW is 50K miles. I redid the brakes with DOT 5 fluid, double roller timing chain was used on engine, carb rebuilt, etc. When I took it over in 2005, I repainted it in the original dark metallic anthracite gray for $3500. I also I've driven it about 6,000 miles and it has been stored inside since then.

Deficiencies: I'm driving the Jeep back to Alabama in one week. There I have trusted mechanics and craftsmen. I will repair all known deficiencies which at this time include replacement of the headliner, opening the clogged sunroof drains, updating the A/C with R134A and doing a more professional installation of the electronic brake control unit. There is a streak in the windshield where the wiper arm scrubbed. All other problems, if any found, will be noted and discussed with inquiring buyers. The tires should probably be replaced simply because of age.

DELIVERY: I can drive the Jeep anywhere for delivery including Canada. I've sold to Europe before. Please allow adequate time for the repairs noted above to be made by craftsmen/mechanics in Alabama.

PAYMENT: A deposit of $3,500 USD is due within 5 days of auction end unless other arrangement is made. Balance is due at time of delivery/pick up.

Please call me at the phone number below to discuss delivery schedule and charges or any other questions you may have.

Jeep leads list of 25 most patriotic brands

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

It's not unusual to feel extra patriotic this time of year, what with the Fourth of July being today and all. As if to celebrate, New York-based research firm Brand Keys conducted a study among 4,500 consumers about what brands they find to be the most patriotic. According to the Detroit Free Press, Jeep took top honors in this study, besting other American stalwart brands including Coca-Cola, Levi's and Hershey's.
Interestingly, the only other automotive brand to make the list was Ford, in the 16th spot (motorcycle fans take note - Harley-Davidson claimed the No. 13 slot). This means consumers found Jeep to be more patriotic than any of the brands in the General Motors portfolio, including Chevrolet, which has long used American themes in its advertising over the decades.
According to Brand Keys, Jeep came in "with a score of 98 out of 100 on a scale representing consumers' emotional engagement expectations," the Detroit Free Press reports. Be sure to read the report to scan the entire Top 25 list for yourself.

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.

eBay Find of the Day: Jeep Comanche Zombie Response Unit

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

We've seen some pretty fantastic apocalypse vehicles in our day. We've even owned one or two, but this particular Jeep Comanche tugs at our heart strings in all the right ways. Let's start with the basics: there's a stout 4.0-liter engine underhood hooked to a five-speed manual transmission, and while we wish this truck was four-wheel drive, the two-inch lift and oversize tires should help you overcome obstacles with enough momentum.
Details like handy shovels, Jerry cans and a brush guard inspired by the hardware on a CUCV help lend the truck a no-nonsense appeal, and the functional CB whip antenna means you can ask for backup when the undead hordes come your way. If you like what you see as much as we do, you can head over to eBay Motors to place a bid. The auction has inched up to $4,000 with just two days left on the clock.
