I am listing this vehicle for a good friend of mine. It is truly a 2 owner vehicle beginning its life in the warm dry Arizona climate where it spent the vast majority of its life until 2007. It was purchased new in October 1957 for approx $2100. The gentleman who owned it kept it until his passing in 2004 and then his son took possession until 2007 when it was traded in for a muscle car at a dealership named Broom Auto in Scotsdale, Arizona. It was at this point my friend saw it online and just had to have it! This is how it ended up in Connecticut, until the present. The vehicle runs and drives out excellent. It starts flawlessly and all the gears shift and hold just as they should. The 4 wheel drive works perfectly, the motor was rebuilt before my friend purchased it at which point the odometer was reset to the 3306 miles that you see now. It seems that the original color was blue and it has had several repaints in its life. The undercarriage as you can see is very clean and has never been driven in the snow of Connecticut. It is remarkable how nice the original metal on the vehicle is with only slight repairs made to the front fenders before it was repainted. The vehicle has been gone through mechanically over the last several years. It has a new front end, exhaust, all new engine gauges, waterpump, a great heater and new wipers. The seats have been reupholstered upon their original metal frames and a new removable top and doors also have been added. There are new body mounts so the vehicle holds steady and true with minimal body noise. There are 5 brand new mud and snow tires mounted on original rims to complete the drivetrain. During the last 7 years in Connecticut it has only been driven on a few occasions, approx 50 miles to a summer camp in Otis, Mass at which point it was garaged until its return back home. This vehicle draws a crowd wherever it goes and is a blast to drive. If you are looking for an old school, 4 wheel drive that really defines the American frontier as it was conquered this is the Jeep for you! What is really cool is the tool box located under the passenger seat which is perfect. Every item on this Jeep functions exactly as it should without exception. The paint on the vehicle is not perfect nor should it be on a 56 year old Jeep. There are a few dings as you can see in the photos. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but we will assist to load. A $500.00 deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction ending. All funds must clear the bank before the vehicle is shipped. You will receive the original Arizona title and a Connecticut Bill of Sale. It is for sale locally and we reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time. If you feel you can give her a good home we invite your bids. Any questions please email me and I will respond quickly. Thanks for looking. Happy Bidding.

Watch this R/C Jeep Wrangler plow snow
Mon, 06 Jan 2014There's no denying the fact that the Jeep Wrangler is one tough and rugged vehicle, and there is apparently little lost when the SUV is shrunk down for a 1:10th scale radio-controlled version. Proving that the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler is not your run-of-the-mill R/C car, YouTube user Andrew Dykiel posted a pair of videos showing it clear about an inch of snow from his sidewalk and driveway during a snow storm last month.
Starting at $379.99, the Axial SCX10 costs more than most budget snowblowers, but other than paying a neighbor kid to shovel your snow, this might be the best way for a car guy to clear snow without the need for hot chocolate and ibuprofen. Better yet, it's electric, so it's zero-emission answer to snow removal! Scroll down to see how this R/C Jeep can help "shovel" snow from the warmth of your sofa. We've also thrown in a bonus video showing the mini Jeep negotiating the Rubicon Trail.
2015 Easter Jeep Safari concepts unveiled [w/videos]
Thu, Mar 19 2015A yearly tradition, Jeep has unveiled seven new concepts that will participate in the 49th annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, UT, in just a couple of weeks. This event is a sort of mecca for Jeep owners and enthusiasts, and like years past, FCA's off-road brand has prepared a slew of excellent new concepts that use a combination of production and prototype Jeep Performance Parts, from the folks at Mopar. These concepts are far more than just production Jeep vehicles with lift kits and off-road tires, though. What we have here are a number of fully baked, one-off SUVs that show the passion and dedication of Jeep's engineers. The Easter Jeep Safari takes place from March 28 to April 5. Here's a look at what'll be hitting the trails this year. 2015 Easter Jeep Safari Concepts: Jeep Chief View 20 Photos Jeep Chief Arguably the coolest concept of the bunch, this Wrangler-based concept is an excellent tribute to the classic, fullsize Jeep Cherokee from the 1970s. It's painted in a vintage Ocean Blue color, with a white, "French Bread" roof. There's also a custom razor grille (something made famous on the original Wagoneer), removable sides, chrome bumpers, and classic-looking, 17-inch wheels. Inside, there's surfer-inspired pink, blue, and white cloth mixed with leather trim, with more fun details like a Rosewood front passenger grab handle and tiki-look shift handle. Of course, this thing looks to be truly capable off-road, too, with a two-inch lift kit, Fox shocks, Dana 44 axles at the front and rear, and a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 underhood. 2015 Easter Jeep Safari Concepts: Jeep Staff Car View 27 Photos Jeep Staff Car This one's a proper salute to the Jeep military service vehicles of yore. It's an open-air concept based on the four-door Wrangler, with tons of heritage design cues. It looks old, but we promise, it's totally new. It's got basic steel wheels, a stretched canvas roof, bench seats, a painted steel floor, a built-in cooler that accommodates up to 85 cans, and is painted in an iconic Sandstorm color. When the going gets tough, the Staff Car can handle it with aplomb, thanks to the Jeep Performance Parts two-inch lift kit, Fox shocks, Dana 44 axles, and again, the Wrangler's 3.6-liter V6. 2015 Easter Jeep Safari Concepts: Jeep Wrangler Africa View 16 Photos Jeep Wrangler Africa Here's another take on the Wrangler Unlimited, painted in Desert Tan, but this time powered by a 2.8-liter diesel engine.
