This is a rare Jeep J10 HONCHO stepside 4x4 pickup. It was last on the road in 1989. My dad parked it in the barn and started driving a newer vehicle until he passed away. The mileage is 77048, which I believe is the actual mileage. As far as I know it has never been in an accident, because if so, it would have been a topic of conversation in the family. It is being sold for parts or possibly restoration. There is some rust in places as shown in the photos. The rear fenders need reattaching. The interior needs carpeting, seat covers and a headliner. The dash and gauges are in pretty good condition. It has not been started since it was put away, and I doubt anything was done to the motor for storage. Assume it is seized, because I do not know one way or the other. The critters chewed the distributor wiring, but overall, everything looks like it is place. The wheels roll, but the brake pedal will not depress. The locking hubs turn freely. The automatic transmission will shift into neutral all gears and back to park. I have not seen this model on the road or at any local show, so I suspect it is rare. Our Jeep experts on this site will know about this vehicle than I do. The photos show the overall condition and what may be usable original parts. There has been no modifications to the vehicle. It comes with a brush guard that has never been installed, but will need painting. This may be just what you have been looking for. You will have to make arrangements for pickup.

Jeep Wrangler Dragon Edition coming to North America
Thu, 12 Sep 2013If 2012 was the year of the dragon in China, perhaps the US can claim 2014. After showing the Jeep Wrangler Dragon Design Concept at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, and apparently receiving "tremendously positive feedback" from Jeep enthusiasts across the globe, the automaker has decided to introduce a production version that will hit US showrooms this fall with a price of $36,095.
"The dragon symbolizes strength and power and is an aspirational character normally associated with royalty and good fortune," says Jeep, and that apparently equates to a blacked-out Wrangler Unlimited with bronze satin gloss highlights inside and out, along with big dragon decals that start on the hood and run down the fenders. There are 18-inch matte black wheels with a bronze outer edges, and a dragon-emblazoned spare tire cover completes the look.
We suggest you peruse the high-res image gallery above to see all the black and bronze detailing yourself, and make special note of the interior. In related news, all 2014 Jeep Wrangler models get an optional Trail Kit and clear park lamps to replace the previous amber units. New colors include Amp'd, Anvil, Copperhead, Flame Red, Granite Crystal and Hydro Blue (Freedom edition only), which join carryover colors Billet Silver, Bright White, Black and Dune.
2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition
Wed, 11 Dec 2013There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for the Jeep Wrangler. The last one I owned was red, and, as a 1990 model, had the square headlights derided by Jeep enthusiasts who grew up on the Civilian Jeeps that descended from their General Purpose military ancestors. As a teenager, I couldn't have cared less what shape its headlights happened to be - to me, a Jeep Wrangler represented freedom; a carefree do-it-all machine equally at home with the top stowed away in the summer or with the heater on full blast in the snowy clutches of Old Man Winter. In Dr. Seuss parlance, my square-headlighted Sneetch was just as worthy as any round-headlighted Sneetch.
All that said, I'll be the first person to advise against buying a Jeep Wrangler of any sort for owners who don't plan to use it as its makers intend. There's no good reason to punish yourself with a stiff and springy ride, a loud and somewhat drafty (though generally water-resistant) interior or the poor fuel economy expected of a block-shaped vehicle if you don't enjoy its other, more exciting benefits.
Of course, Jeep has done its darndest over the years to make the Wrangler as civilized as possible while keeping it as capable as federal law will allow. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab edition is one of Jeep's latest attempts to attract attention from the upper reaches of the active lifestyle set, and I spent a week with one to see what makes the Moab special.
