I have owned this car for two years. I drive it in the summertime (and store it indoors during the winters.) It's in great shape mechanically. I have all my maintenance records: oil changes, carburetors, new front rotors, rear drums resurfaced, all new belts, new muffler. I removed the original carburetor and intake manifold (which I will give the new owner) and replaced them with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and intake manifold to improve gas mileage and power. I had the car's interior detailed this summer. The upholstery looks great and so do the four matching carpet floor mats. The car fires right up, whether the engine is cold or hot. The all-season tires are in good shape. Everything works in the car, except the cruise control. In order to repair this, you'd need to replace a cable. At some point, Wagonmaster restored this car (Wagonmaster stickers on front doors; Wagonmaster instructions for starting car on driver's side sun visor.) The car was rust-proofed a while ago. There are some rust spots on the body of the car; a scratch on the right rear quarter-panel; a small tear in the headliner. This car did not come with an owner's manual or maintenance records. Sometimes when I shift the car into reverse, I can hear a clunk noise coming from the rear differential. The car does drip a small amount of oil.
There are stickers on windows from Aspen, Colorado, and Texas, which suggest that the car spent time in these states. I am selling this car because my wife says if I want another classic car, this one has to go.
Inspections are welcome. I will assist with this if the buyer would like help. This Jeep is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end this auction early.

Jeep mulling power top for next Wrangler
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Jeep is hard at work on the next-generation Wrangler, though the truck is still a few years from hitting the trails. The new model will still be aimed at off-roaders, but rumors suggest it will be a little more comfortable than previous versions to appeal to more people.
According to Road and Track, Jeep is developing a power-retractable top as an expensive option for the Wrangler. There is no word if the top in question is a sliding canvas rollback like the ones found on many European vehicles or a full convertible hardtop or softtop, nor do we know whether it would be made available on two- or four-door models. It might be a nice feature for some buyers but would certainly add complexity to a truck already known for its ruggedness. We asked Jeep for confirmation, but Jeep spokesperson Todd Goyer could only remind us that the company "can't comment about future products."
In news that is likely to irk the faithful, R&T reports the next model may also ditch its folding windshield for improved safety and possibly even get rid of its rear-mounted, full-size spare tire. The new Wrangler won't go completely soft, though, and will reportedly still feature removable doors and solid axles.
Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
Gilles defends 2014 Jeep Cherokee design as "very contemporary"
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Following the forced-hand introduction of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, there has definitely been a mix of responses revolving around everything from its design to the return of the legendary nameplate. As evidence of this, just check out the 1,000+ comments in our article last week and some of the many opinions that were voiced. Following this not-too-warm reception, Ward's Auto had a chance to talk to Chrysler designer chief - and SRT president - Ralph Gilles, who shed a little more light on the styling direction of the new Cherokee.
Rather than looking to previous models for inspiration, Gilles says that the Cherokee has been designed to be more contemporary, with Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, adding that a main goal was to make sure the design still looks modern five years from now. Interestingly, Gilles does point out that one of the design elements incorporated on the new Cherokee that pays homage to past Jeeps is the sharply downward angle for the leading edge of the beltline, which he notes is meant to mimic the look of the old YJ and TJ Wrangler models fitted with half doors. Of course, the squared-off wheel openings - a signature Jeep cue - are still used.
This is probably a design that will need to be seen on the street in actual daylight to properly assess, but in the meantime, we'll bring you full images and impressions when the Cherokee debuts at next month's New York Auto Show.
