Hi, For your consideration is my beloved 67 Jeepster Convertible. I bought this about 10 years ago from an old man in Southern California who owned it since the early 80's and drove it on occasion and always garage kept it. I have also kept it in the garage. I've recently sold a property that had a large garage and now must sell a few vehicles as I don't have garage space for all of them. Consequently, the reserve for my classic Jeepster has to be very reasonable to ensure it will sell. Bid to own this one. It pains me to sell after all these years, but it needs to have a continued garage spot. This model is extremely rare, with total production numbers around 2,300. This one is the cleanest, rust free example you will ever find, it has just over 100,000 original miles. There is no rust issue, anywhere. Ask for a pic of any area you want to see. Only clean factory metal with no rust in the seams, floors.. anywhere. It had most of its original paint on it when I bought it, there has been no collision damage ever. I have an additional 67 8701 Jeepster that I will include in the sell, if the bidding goes over $14K. I will describe it a little more at the end of the ad. Onto the details of this amazing Jeepster find. BODY/PAINT: Again, no rust issues anywhere. It is extremely strait. It spent its life in the city, so it wasn't coming into contact with rocks, trees, etc. The only body damage it had before it was repainted was where the hood had blown up at some point. This was repaired, but not as well as I hoped for. The paint job was a complete repaint, all jambs, floors and body panels were painted. It is a $3,000 "driver quality" paint job in the factory yellow.. It is not a show quality job. Looks great, and gets compliments non-stop. Most all of the weather stripping and window/door rubber has been replaced. I can't think of any that hasn't been. Doors open and close well, drivers door takes a little more effort. Windows roll up and down (including the rears). All locks work with the one original key, including the glove box. Body trim is present and in good original condition. Top was replaced at the time of repaint (4-5 years ago) and is high quality top with the double layer and glass rear window. Top goes up and down easily. It is a manual top. Underside is as clean as you could ever hope to find. INTERIOR: Interior has been completely redone as close to factory as possible. I have an old original brochure showing the interior, I let the upholsterer use this as a map/reference, counting the pleats etc. The passenger seat seems a little tweaked back, not sure why. Also, there is a small burn mark on the outer bolster of the passenger seat, this happened from a window that somehow focused light like a magnifying glass onto the seat while I was cleaning it one day! Carpet kit is custom and looks good, but it's not perfect. Dash has been recovered. New glove box. Door panels were fabricated to match originals and look great. I have the drivers door pull. I also have a pair of aftermarket rear fiberglass surrounds that are included, they need some work though. All lights and gauges work. Stereo face was broken and unit has since been removed. Only has non-functioning original stereo. I would add a vinyl shift boot around the shifter and a convertible top boot would be a nice finishing tough. MECHANICAL: This Jeepster is set up well. It has the 231 Buick V6 that was rebuilt years ago. It runs strong and is powerful. It has a Edelbrock intake and 4 barrel carburetor, starts right up hot or cold. The motor has been fitted with a pointless HEI distributor. I have installed a new water pump, alternator, belts, had the radiator rodded/cleaned and other recent service/tuneup work in the last year. The motor does not smoke, but does seem to use a little oil. Never runs hot. It has headers and dual exhaust. It is healthy and pulls strong up the hills. Clutch tends to shutter a little if you don't know the technique. It has been this way since I have owned it and I have no trouble driving without any shutter. No slippage and engagement is good. Transmission is a Muncie 4 speed. The old man said it was new when he put it in the Jeep. It shifts well and will cruise at 75mph no problem. The shifter comes thru the floor off the side a little and is as close to being in the way as possible without actually being a problem. It has a Warn overdrive unit installed that was working well when I bought it. It stopped working about 5 years ago. 3 years ago, I had Advanced 4wheel drive ( a local shop) try to fix it. I also had them do a major brake upgrade. It has disc brakes in the front ( I think its a Dana 30 axle) with a large power booster and large master cylinder. The brakes work better on this Jeep than any I have ever used on any Jeep. The previous owner did a steering box upgrade. The factory Ross steering boxes on these models were notorious for being incredibly sloppy and difficult to work on. It has a full size Jeep (wagoneer) steering box with power steering added. The turning radius seems a little short, but this makes the Jeep a pleasure to drive, and the brake upgrade make it safe. It had A/C installed when I bought it, I removed all the components but it will provide the new owner with them. The Jeep seems to leak a little oil from the underside area. I had the shop re-seal the transfercase and overdrive unit, this helped a lot, but I think the transmission adapter plate may be the area of some of the leaks. I top it off or change it every spring and don't worry about it.. If you plan to park this on your nice driveway, you will need a mat or want to look into sealing it up better. Electrical system is all operational. Fan blows, but does not blow hot. It has a professionally installed receiver and light hook up. Jeepster has a 3" lift obtained by re-arching and adding an additional leaf. Tires are 30" BFG AT's with plenty of tread and no dry rotting. Has a very nice stance. ADDITIONAL JEEPSTER! Thats right, I have an additional parts Jeepster or builder. It is a factory red 8701 model that has been fitted with a V8 years ago. I was told it was a one owner Jeep and that the old man who owned this one, was stripping it down to restore, he fail ill and died before completing. It hasn't been touched since the 80's. The good. It has an incredibly strait body with no body rust. The floors appear to have been professionally redone in the front and original in the back. All chrome pieces, including both bumpers and all window frames were re-chromed years ago, but never used. All chrome pieces still look great. It appears to be mostly complete, but is missing the fiberglass rear finisher and most of the side trim pieces. I wanted to build a V8 half cab deluxe with it. It does not currently have a title, but I have started the process of obtaining one and should be able to supply new owner with one. Please ask for more details. THIS PARTS OR BUILDER JEEP COMES WITH THE JEEPSTER, IF THE BIDDING GOES OVER $14k. BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ARRANGE AND PAY FOR ALL SHIPPING. SUMMARY: You can't find a cleaner chassis Jeep with no previous collision damage. This one is an amazing find with upgrades that were methodically executed. This makes for a much nice and enjoyable ride.. Much safer and reliable too. I have driven it less than 10 thousand miles in 10 years, but would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. I drove it home from Southern California when I bought it. Tough to find one this clean with practical upgrades. DISCLAIMER: IMPORTANT: I have tried to describe this vehicle as accurately and honestly as possible but please remember it is a used vehicle. As with any vehicle, (new or used) there may be issues that I have overlooked or am unaware of. If you are not familiar with purchasing used vehicles and or specialty vehicles or you have not purchased a vehicle using the Internet, PLEASE do your research, ask questions, make sure you are comfortable with me as a seller, the vehicle, and the process. Unless stated otherwise, I am not offering a warranty so if you want one, let's discuss it and document it before the purchase is final. Otherwise there is no warranty expressed or implied. I am always willing to help accommodate you in any way I can. I can pick you up from the airport.. I will even drive this to the airport for you to step off the plane and take a look. I can also meet with a 3rd party that you arrange and pay for if necessary. THANKS! |

Build a Jeep Gladiator 392 next? The Hummer H3T Alpha blazed the trail
Tue, Nov 17 2020The 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 will combine the go-anywhere capability of a Jeep's iconic off-roader with the grunt of a V8 for the first time in decades. As cool as that is, we can't help but think Jeep is missing out on a huge opportunity to pair that 470-horsepower, 6.4-liter Hemi V8 with the Wrangler's pickup cousin, the Jeep Gladiator, in the form of a Mojave 392. Autoblog took part in a media Q&A session with Jeep ahead of the Rubicon 392's announcement in which the company's product higher-ups said that there are currently no official plans to build a 392 variant of the Gladiator pickup. But whether or not Jeep has plans, it certainly has precedent, and from our perspective, a market. Rewind to 2008, better known as one of the worst possible years to introduce a gas-guzzling, V8-powered pickup truck. Enter the 2009 Hummer H3T Alpha, the first variant of Hummer's midsize truck/SUV hybrid to be offered with a 5.3-liter V8. The 300-horsepower small-block was an upgrade to the sturdy but relatively uninspiring 3.7-liter inline-5 that the H3 lineup had inherited from its midsize pickup platform mates. As our Jeremy Korzeniewski noted in the Rubicon 392's introductory piece, an open-top Jeep has not been offered with an optional V8 for as long as the "Wrangler" nameplate has existed. The last Jeep 4x4 to do so was still a CJ, or civilian Jeep, and the 304 cubic-inch engine came from American Motors Corporation. Incidentally, this generation of the Wrangler is also the first to be offered in a pickup variant. Cue the beard-stroking. Now, frankly, it's not even remotely fair to compare the H3T's powertrain offerings to the decade-newer Gladiator's, but the Hummer actually boasts a few advantages over Jeep's modern pickup. While most of the Jeep's off-road specs give it an edge, the Gladiator doesn't come close to the H3T's 30.1-degree departure angle, for instance. And in more practical terms, the stubbier H3T has other maneuverability advantages. The Gladiator has 3" of wheelbase and 5" of overall length on the H3T, and a 22.4-foot turning radius to show for it. The Hummer's? Just 18.5'.

2014 Jeep Cherokee starting price set at $22,995*
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Love it or hate it, the 2014 Cherokee is on its way to a Jeep showroom near you this fall. Today, Chrysler announced the different trim levels, features and pricing for its new compact utility with a starting price of $22,995 (*not including $995 for destination), which is $400 less than the 2012 Liberty it ostensibly replaces.
Available in four trim levels - Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk - the new Cherokee will come standard with Chrysler's 2.4-liter Tigershark inline four-cylinder engine with the upper three levels offering the option of the company's 3.2-liter Pentastar V6. The base Sport is your typical entry-level model, featuring equipment including manual cloth seats and black exterior mirrors and door handles, but it also has a five-inch Uconnect media center, LED taillights and 10 standard airbags. Stepping up from the Sport model, Latitude and Limited trims bring increasing levels of luxury starting at $24,495 and $27,995, respectively. All three of these trims are front-wheel drive in standard configuration and offer varying versions of Jeep's Active Drive four-wheel-drive system.
The range-topping $29,495 Cherokee Trailhawk (shown above) comes standard with four-wheel drive and numerous upgrades to earn Jeep's Trail Rated fender badge. These changes include a unique design that adds an off-road suspension with taller ride height giving more aggressive approach and departure angles, underbody skid plates, distinguishing exterior design elements and a seven-inch, reconfigurable instrument gauge cluster similar to what it found in high-trim Dodge Dart models. Scroll down for a full breakdown of the 2014 Cherokee pricing and trim levels, and let us know what you think of the model's pricing and equipment in Comments.
