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.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler wants mountains, not a stage

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We've said it before and we'll say it again - while we usually grow tired of the endless barrage of special edition vehicles, that isn't the case with the Jeep Wrangler. Every unique model we encounter seems cooler than the one before it, and this Willys Wheeler Edition is no exception.
The Willys Wheeler package is sort of a throwback to early Jeep CJ models, and wears "Willys" stickers on the hood. There's also a gloss black grille, rock rails to protect the side sills, and unique 17-inch black wheels wrapped in meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires. For proper off-road prowess, this special edition uses a Dana 44 rear axle with a limited-slip differential and a 3.73 final drive ratio.
Look for the Willys edition to hit dealerships early next year, starting at $25,795 for the two-door version and $29,595 for the four-door. Feel free to read all about it in the press release below.

EPA suspected Fiat Chrysler of using 'defeat device' in 2015

Sat, Jun 17 2017

U.S. regulators told Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in November 2015 that they suspected some of the automaker's vehicles were equipped with secret software allowing them to violate emission control standards, according to emails disclosed on Friday. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board accused Fiat Chrysler in January of using the software, known as a "defeat device," to illegally allow excess diesel emissions in 104,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Ram 1500 trucks built between 2014 and 2016. Byron Bunker, director of the EPA's Transportation and Air Quality compliance division, said in a January 2016 email to Fiat Chrysler, obtained by Reuters under the Freedom of Information Act, that he was "very concerned about the unacceptably slow pace" of the automaker's efforts to explain high nitrogen oxide emissions from some of its vehicles. Nitrogen oxide is linked to smog formation and respiratory problems. Bunker's email said the EPA had told Fiat Chrysler officials at a November 2015 meeting that at least one auxiliary emissions control device on the car maker's vehicles appeared to violate the agency's regulations. Mike Dahl, head of vehicle safety and regulatory compliance for Fiat Chrysler's U.S. unit, responded in a separate email that the company was working diligently and understood the EPA's concerns. He added that if the EPA identified Fiat Chrysler vehicles as containing defeat devices it would result in "potentially significant regulatory and commercial consequences." The documents redacted the vehicles named, but two officials briefed on the matter said they referred to diesel models. The EPA's November 2015 meeting with Fiat Chrysler came two months after Volkswagen AG, mired in a major tailpipe emissions scandal, admitted to installing secret defeat device software in hundreds of thousands of U.S. diesel cars to make them appear cleaner than they were on the road.
