1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer station wagon. 1 owner since new. Would be a great car to restore. 143K miles. Good running 360 V8/automatic. Doesn't smoke. Gold w/ tan leather interior. Power seats, windows, locks, fog lights, tow package. Was a daily driver until a couple years ago. Thought the starter had gone out and since I had another car didn't bother to mess with it. Come to find out a couple weeks ago it was just a bad battery. The car is super straight & never wrecked. The body does have some rust. Rear wheel wells and rockers have some small/moderate holes. Small patches of surface rust and bubbles on other parts of the body. Doors are all good. Roof edges above doors are rusty w/ some tiny holes that have been filled w/ silicone sealer. Car had some hail damage in 1992 and the hood & entire roof section were replaced which might explain the rust along the drip rails. There are patch panels available for most of the bad rust spots. Wood grain is worn off. Floors from underneath look good. Car was undercoated when it was purchased new so the chassis was well protected for most of its life. Interior is pretty good. A couple tears in the driver's seat, other seats are good, just worn. Carpet is decent, dash is good. Headliner was falling down & was stapled back up. Bumpers are great, grill has a small piece out of it, driver's side seatbelt is apart, door window trim nice, all glass is good.

The car runs good and will drive around the block but if you are going to drive it everyday I would check the belts, hoses, change fluids, tune-up, etc. since it's been sitting & probably replace the tires. Car doesn't like to move when it's been sitting but once it warms up it seems to go fine. May just need a transmission service. Transmission shifted fine before. 4WD does not work (bad transfer case). Runs fine in 2WD. Car shows 143K miles but may be closer to 148K as the odometer stopped working shortly before it was parked. Engine has only about 90K miles thanks to a dealer forgetting to put oil in after an oil change. Motor was replaced w/ a new Jeep crate motor at that point. A/C is not working. Blew cool but not cold before parked. Heat seems to work. Brakes are good. One rear door window doesn't work, opposite rear door doesn't open. Other door windows work fine, doors open/close solid. Tailgate window works good halfway. I think the rubber seal is hard & binding it. The rear window motor was replaced a few years ago. Front power seats work. Has an aftermarket AM/FM cassette player. Car is 99% complete. Missing a 2 hub cabs and ashtray covers. I do have the parts but as of writing this can't find them. 1 rear armrest is missing in the photos but I have since found it. Hood ornament and one wood grain strip is off but in the car. Car will need a battery. I have one to start it & show it runs but is not included. It's out of my truck and is too tall to shut the hood. Clear Kansas title. Car was well maintained most of it's life at the local Jeep dealer. A lot of good memories in this car and would love to find a good home for it. Certainly worth restoring! If you need further information I can be reached at 913-221-5666. Car is for sale locally as well.

Federal grand jury issues subpoenas to U.S. FCA dealers

Wed, Jul 27 2016

Despite an attempt to clarify and backtrack, it seems the investigation into Fiat Chrysler Automobile's false sales reporting is picking up steam. According to Automotive News, FCA dealers and regional offices have received subpoenas ordering them to supply documents and testimony to a grand jury in Detroit. Of course, the dealers are objecting to the request. They claim the subpoenas are too broad and would require them to hand over too much personal information, like personal phone numbers of dealer employees going back years. The group wants to make it clear that FCA has clarified its sales reporting and that the issue is with the manufacturer, not dealers. The dealers say that FCA employee records and testimony should be enough. It's rumored that a dealer group is the one that sparked the investigation in the first place. FCA confirmed on July 18 that it indeed was under investigation by a number of federal agencies. Although they've clarified their position regarding sales reporting, the fraud investigation continues full steam. Related Video:

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.

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is more expensive than the Dodge Demon

Tue, Aug 8 2017

Jeep has finally released pricing for its crazy, all-wheel-drive, Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee, and it's seriously expensive. It starts at $86,995. That's a full $2,000 more than the limited-production, 840-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. For 140 fewer horses, and a quarter-mile time that's 2seconds slower (11.6 seconds vs. 9.6), you'll spend more money. Then again, the Grand Cherokee can do things the Demon and the Hellcats can't. It's got more space than any of them, meaning you can carry quite a bit more. It's capable of towing up to 7,200 pounds of stuff. It also has all-wheel drive, which means you have a little extra traction in bad weather, and you have the opportunity to do spectacular four-wheel burnouts. And of course, the Trackhawk is still fast and capable by any measure. It's only a tenth of a second slower to 60 mph than the Challenger Hellcat Widebody. It also comes with massive Brembo brakes, with the largest front rotors fitted to a Jeep, to haul it down from 60 mph in a claimed 114 feet. Each corner features 295-mm tires that Jeep claims let the Trackhawk generate 0.88g circling a skid pad. If the Trackhawk sounds like just the absurd performance machine you've been waiting for, you'll be able to put your order in soon. Dealers will accept orders starting Aug. 10, and the vehicles will start arriving at dealer lots toward the end of the year.
