This does not come around often...say once every 40 years.

This 1974 is completely factory original. The paint is original as Toledo applied it, graphics, seats, windshield, body, engine....everything. I spent months cleaning and polishing and detailing every part of this jeep to get back to showroom condition.

I purchased this vehicle from the original owner in Missouri. She was a widow of 33 years. This jeep was her husbands and the couple owned a summer cottage on a lake just outside KC. He purchased it new in Kansas City in 1974 and took it directly to their summer home. There he put 22, 250 miles on the jeep until 1981 when after he had put the vehicle in the garage or the evening he had a stroke and shortly died. The jeep was left in the garage for 33 years by his widow so as to preserve his memory along with all his other trappings.

He took great care of this vehicle, just getting new tires on the vehicle in 1979 (white walls) changing the oil, filters and plugs. He placed vinyl labels indicating the date and mileage on the cowl and filters. I surmise a rather anal guy who loved his chick magnet ride.

When I purchased it:

1.) I changed the brake Master cylinder, wheel cylinders and installed new brake lining and hoses because they were seized from non use and the fluid was like mud.

2.) Installed a new fuel tank because I could not get the old fuel out.

3.) Sent the carb out to be rebuilt by American Carburetor, Inc (no replacement parts, NOS original AMC gaskets and original tag with matching date that came with it) It looks and operates like new.

4.) Replaced the E-Brake cable because it was very stiff and hard to operate.

5.) Flushed the entire coolant system and installed new hoses.

6.) Replaces the fan belt

7.) Replaced the rubber fuel lines.

8.) Complete compound, polish inside, under the hood etc.

9.) Change all lubes in diff, engine, trans, transfer case and lube chassis.

I have the original WHITCO top and Doors in white. The top is in new condition because it was not on the vehicle at the time it was placed in the garage Very clean and super original.

The spare is the original Goodyear Polyglas Suburbanite. With original aluminum wheels. Whitco original spare tire cover was on it when I purchased.

There are factory dates and part numbers on the frame that are clearly visible, and the stamped frame serial numbers match to VIN.

There is only surface rust staining on the floor.

The seats are original to this vehicle, soft and strong: are beige in color, only one small 1" seam separation on the drivers seat.

The seat belts are new condition, one set of the rear seat belts are still in the factory protective black bag the way they came from the factory. Amazing!

The Engine fires immediately and runs very, very smoothly, with no leaks, clicks, pings.

All Gauges work, lights, brakes, wipers, horn, turn sigs.

The factory color is Mellow Yellow matches the tag.

Canadians build Jeep Wrangler out of cans for charity

Thu, Jul 2 2015

The Jeep Wrangler can do a lot of things. It can traverse most any terrain, take you to work, the kids to school, get you and your friends to the surf on time, and so on. Turns out it can also feed the hungry – or at least this one can. And by can, we mean actual cans of food. To celebrate Canada Day (which was Wednesday), Jeep recreated a Wrangler out of more than 4,500 cans of food. The project was undertaken together with Canstruction Inc, a charity that works to fight hunger and poverty, serve the community, and promote science, technology, engineering, and math. The full-scale replica took a team of teenagers a good 12 hours to build. It's being displayed at Vancouver's waterfront Canada Place during the festivities, after which it will be dismantled to provide 3,120 meals for the hungry through the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. This is the second such project we've seen FCA Canada undertake together with Canstruction. Last time it was a Dodge Grand Caravan created to celebrate the minivan's 30th anniversary. It was built out of 30,000 cans and displayed in downtown Toronto before being distributed as 2,000 food baskets through the Daily Bread Food Bank. Next time maybe we'll see a Viper or Challenger made out of cans on display in Montreal during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend and donated to the Old Brewery Mission, which this writer knows first-hand does good work to feed Montrealers in need.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
