1983 Jeep Cherokee in the "Pioneer" Trim Package. This truck is a 4-Door, unusual for a Full Size Jeep (FSJ) Cherokee, so, its kind of like a Wagoneer without the woodgrain sides. This Jeep also has a factory 4-Speed Manual transmission and a factory sunroof. So, between the 4-Speed, the 4-Door, and the Pioneer, that makes the rig a pretty rare build from AMC, which is why I bought it. I traveled down to Texas to get this Jeep back in 2010, planned to combine it with a Wagoneer I had at the time, but I have just not had the chance to put much work into it. I actually sold this Jeep on Ebay a few months back, but the buyer, at the time, had second thoughts, so here it is up for auction again, your chance to own a piece of AMC/Jeep History Now this Jeep does run & drive, but I would consider it a "project" vehicle. Below are some bullet points;

290,400 miles on what I believe to be the original AMC 360
There is no starting battery included with this rig, but I'll have one available at pick-up so that you can hear that motor purr.
The power steering pump pulley has been removed and will not be included (it was donated for another FSJ project). So right now steering this thing is a fine upper body workout.
The headliner is gone and will need to be replaced if you want one
There are several dents around the exterior of the vehicle (refer to photographs)
Glass is in good shape all around
The rear tailgate glass regulator is bent and does not lift the glass properly. As a result, the rear glass is removed, but two pieces of rear glass are included with the auction.
The interior is good and bad, most of the passenger seats are pretty good, but the driver's seat is trashed, and the carpet in the rear is pretty bad.
Factory glass sunroof installed.
There is no grill included, what you see in the photos is what you get.

I have always loved FSJ's, so I may be a little bias, but this would be a really great rig to work on, all the basics are there. I could see either doing a full restoration or turning it into one bad 4 wheeler. I'm easy to work with on the sale, I could store it for a little while after the auction (pending 100% payment), and I may be able to help you ship it as well. We have a lot of flatbed trucks heading all over the country from my workplace on a daily basis. I even sent one of my Wagoneers to Holland a few years back. Email me with nay questions. The Jeep has a clear Colorado Title.

eBay Find of the Day: 1977 Jeep J20 time capsule

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

Is it just us or has eBay really become, of late, a surprising time capsule of older, barely used automobiles? We've had the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT with 83 miles, the 2004 Ferrari Enzo with 175 miles, the 1987 Shelby Lancer with 22 miles, the 1989 Shelby Dakota with 23 miles - none of those four cars ever even registered - and the 1975 Cosworth Vega with 191 miles. You can add to that list a 1977 Jeep J20 - the kind of Jeep that enthusiasts point to when they beg the brand to make another pickup truck.
Listed on eBay by Masterpiece Classic Cars in Whiteland, Indiana, the Brandywine and Alpine White truck has used its 360-cubic-inch V8 paired with a three-speed automatic to go just 3,940 documented miles. Not surprisingly, it's listed in excellent condition and the images appear to bear that out. The three-quarter-ton pickup comes with its original manual and pamphlets, the Quadra-Track four-wheel drive probably just as ready to tackle the terrain as it was 36 years ago. If only it came with some John Denver to play in that AM/FM/8-Track stereo...
At the time of writing it hasn't garnered a single offer or bid, probably due to the above-top-dollar Buy It Now price of $34,900. Still, since this is likely the closest you'll get to a Jeep pickup for some time, we'd recommend admiring it in the gallery of photos above.

Chrysler uses Super Bowl spots to honor troops, farmers

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

How do you follow up such revered and successful ads as Chrysler's last two Super Bowl commercials? Imported from Detroit and Halftime in America should be given credit for giving the automaker's public perception a complete overhaul after its rescue from the brink with taxpayer money. What next, then?
We just found out during Super Bowl XLVII. This year Chrysler went with two commercials, one for Jeep and the other Ram. The two-minute-long Jeep commercial, called Whole Again, is narrated by Oprah Winfrey and presented as an open letter to the service men and women of America, simply expressing admiration for what they do - poignant message coming from a company whose history is so entwined with that of the military's.
The Ram commercial, called Farmer, honors the agricultural backbone of this country. Its soundtrack is a speech entitled "So God Made a Farmer" given by the famous radio broadcaster Paul Harvey, which plays over a slideshow of original photography commissioned by Ram. The images, of course, focus on farming and the people who do it for a living, and there's a few Ram trucks in there, as well.

Chrysler defies NHTSA, says it won't recall 2.7M Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty models

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

Facing a possible recall totaling around 2.7 million of its most popular SUVs, Chrysler remains insistent that the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty are safe vehicles. This comes on the heels of a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for these two models due to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle, which could possibly be ruptured during severe rear-end collisions, leading to an increased risk of fire. In response to the allegations, Chrysler says that it does not agree with NHTSA nor does it plan on recalling either vehicle.
Chrysler said both SUVs "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity, and cooperated fully with NHTSA since the investigation was opened in 2010. While 15 deaths and 46 injuries have been reported from fires caused by rear-end collisions on these models, Chrysler is claiming that the vast majority of incidents cited by NHTSA were "high-energy crashes," including one where a stopped Grand Cherokee was rear-ended by a tractor trailer going 65 miles per hour.
The automaker wraps up by saying "NHTSA seems to be holding Chrysler Group to a new standard for fuel tank integrity that does not exist now and did not exist when the Jeep vehicles were manufactured." Scroll down for Chrysler's official response to NHTSA, but we're pretty sure this isn't the last we've heard on this issue.
