Please know first and foremost that this is a PROJECT vehicle and shall be bid on as such. It is a 1977 Jeep Wagoneer, with the original AMC 360ci v8, and motorcraft 2bbl carburetor. The vehicle runs and drives, however it will need to be shipped or towed due to the necessary driving equipment has been removed slince I have begun body work (headlights, grill, bumper, taillights). Things that I have done/replaced: New spark plugs, wires, cap, fuel filter, fuel pump, soft fuel lines, Sky Jacker shocks, brakes (including e-brake), freshly rebuilt carb, headlights, and edlebrock intake. I got the vehicle as a project, intending on turning it into a crawler, however I have lost interest and decided to sell it. When I got her, she didn't run, and adjust a few things while replacing others, she starts right up and runs, but the timing is off a little. She will need a tune up, and we had an issue with it staying running about a month ago, however it turned out the fuel filter was backwards and the idle speed was way too high, adjusted those two things and haven't had that issue since. I have a video of it running and driving, I will try to post it here or may post the link to youtube.


OK so now for the bad: there is no interior; there are the original front seats and dash (with cluster), and handles and window crank, and that's about it. The windows sort of work, and will go up and down but need a complete overhaul. The tailgate won't work, I tried to fix it but cannot find the short that is causing it to not operate. My plan was to remove all doors and tailgate, and rhino line the interior. There is a series of drill holes along both side that the previous owner tried to fill in with bondo, but it isn't working and they will need to be spot welded, or covered with faux wood vinyl. Again this is a PROJECT vehicle. 

I do have a secondary dash cluster because the one in the vehicle, only the speedo works. I think the wiring is messed up and just need to be hooked up correctly, but I don't know. The fenders were all trimmed to remove rust and in anticipation of fenders and bigger tires. There are small fluid leaks, a few drops per week. I think it's oil and coolant, but I am not sure. Again PROJECT vehicle. If you are intending on using this as a daily driver, as soon as it shows up, don't bid, she will need work to make you comfortable using it for long distances everyday. I think I have given everything I know about it. However she does run and drive, and was a lot of fun once I got her running, but I don't have the time, knowledge, or money to finish it. The reserve is super low, so enjoy bidding and good luck. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

FCA believes thieves aren't getting into Jeeps with laptops

Mon, Jul 11 2016

Last week, we reported on an incident where thieves stole a 2010 Jeep Wrangler from an owner's driveway in Houston, TX with nothing but a laptop. While the security footage made it seem like the perpetrator hacked into the vehicle, we had a conversation with FCA's senior manager of security architecture Titus Melnyk who set the record straight. According to Melnyk, the thief in the video isn't using the laptop to get into the vehicle, but rather as a means of coding a blank key fob and then using that fob to get into the Jeep. According to Melnyk, the suspects have gained access to a key programming tool, which allows them to pair blank key fobs to FCA vehicles. With the key fob now coded, the suspects can get into the vehicle and drive away. The thieves, believes Melnyk, have acquired the programming tool through a dishonest dealership or locksmith. Since the suspects are using a process designed to be used (honestly) by dealers, FCA doesn't consider this to be hacking and believes that there are no security flaws in the vehicles. How are the thieves getting key fobs? While Melnyk believes it is possible to recode an existing key fob, he points out that it's much easier to purchase a blank key fob on Ebay for less than $25. FCA is working closely with the Houston Police Department to apprehend the suspects. Related Video: Jeep Technology SUV Videos viral video hacking thieves
