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! |

2018 Jeep Wrangler four-cylinder could be incredibly potent
Fri, Oct 6 2017Update: We hear the 368-hp rating in the NHTSA documents isn't accurate. The story has been modified to reflect that. Update 2: The document has been removed from NHTSA's website. We already knew that the next-generation Jeep Wrangler would offer two engines this time around, a V6 and a new turbocharged four-cylinder. Documentation from FCA to NHTSA that JL Wrangler Forums discovered suggests the V6 will become the entry-level engine with the same 285 horsepower as the current one, while the turbo 2.0-liter inline-four takes the top spot with 368 horsepower. However, we're now hearing that figure isn't accurate. That's an all-around impressive four-cylinder – and obviously likely too good to be true. Besides making about 80 more horsepower than its bigger V6 cousin, it would also be the second most powerful four-cylinder available in the United States. It would only be 7 horsepower shy of the current four-pot power champ, the Mercedes-Benz CLA45, which makes 375 horsepower. It's also 18 horsepower ahead of the next closest engine, the turbo four in the Focus RS that makes 350 horsepower. If you do decide to pick up a 2018 Wrangler with the four-cylinder, you'll have to settle for an automatic transmission. Only the V6 will be available with both an automatic and manual transmission. Both engines should be available at launch, which we expect to come shortly after an expected reveal at the Los Angeles auto show. The FCA documentation also suggests that the four-door model will be the first body style available, with the two-door arriving slightly later.

2014 Jeep Cherokee: Introduction
Tue, 27 May 2014When we look back at some of the more shocking product launches of recent yeras, the Jeep Cherokee is certainly high up on the list. And we aren't just talking about its off-the-wall, polarizing design.
For starters, it brought back the iconic Cherokee nameplate - something Jeep enthusiasts have coveted for ages. But beyond that, it brought a new evolution for the Jeep brand. After all, the Cherokee is car-based - using the same compact platform that underpins the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200. It has a greater focus on technology and refinement than ever before, in an effort to appeal to a new crop of Jeep customers. And powering it all is a new (optional) V6 engine paired with an equally new nine-speed automatic transmission.
Can the Cherokee's car-based roots still allow for a vehicle that's superb when the going gets tough? Will its design still be a love/hate affair in one year's time, or will it start to blend in? Is the powertrain strong enough to not only support the needs of daily driving and road trips, but blaze a few trails as well? We're aiming to answer all these questions, and more, over the next 12 months. Welcome to the Autoblog long-term garage, Cherokee.
FCA and UAW deal could mean huge production shakeups
Thu, Sep 17 2015The big labor contract between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the United Auto Workers is likely to lead to some very serious production shakeups across the company's North American manufacturing operations. That's according to a new report from Automotive News, which details the sweeping changes at no fewer than five production facilities in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Mexico, and Poland. So without further ado, here's what's going where, presented in easy to digest bullet form. Ram 1500 production would move from Warren, MI to Sterling Heights, MI Warren, MI would be retooled for unibody production and would handle the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and could potentially build Grand Cherokees to ease the strain on Detroit's Jefferson North factory Chrysler 200 production would move from Sterling Heights, MI to Toluca, Mexico Dodge Dart production would move from Belvidere, IL to Toluca, Mexic Fiat 500 production, which is currently handled by Toluca, would be concentrated in Poland, where the Euro-spec Cinquecento is built Jeep Cherokee production would move from Toledo, OH to Belvidere, IL to make room for Wrangler and Wrangler Pickup production Like we said, those are some big changes. But, as FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne said in an earlier interview with Automotive News, this kind of shakeup would make a lot of sense. In that August interview the exec said that automakers moved truck production to Mexico because they were "threatened" by the UAW. "The only thing [the UAW] want is to move the truck back. Which is right. If you move the truck back here, which is [the UAW's] domain, [and move] all the cars that we get killed on somewhere else, we could actually make sense of this bloody industry and actually increase the number of people employed in this country and really share wealth because we are making money," Marchionne told AN.
