This does not come around often...say once every 40 years.    

This 1974 is completely factory original.   The paint is original as Toledo applied it, graphics, seats, windshield, body, engine....everything.      I spent months cleaning and polishing and detailing every part of this jeep to get back to showroom condition.   

I purchased this vehicle from the original owner in Missouri.   She was a widow of 33 years.    This jeep was her husbands and the couple owned a summer cottage on a lake just outside KC.   He purchased it new in Kansas City in 1974 and took it directly to their summer home.   There he put 22, 250 miles on the jeep until 1981 when after he had put the vehicle in the garage or the evening he had a stroke and shortly died.    The jeep was left in the garage for 33 years by his widow so as to preserve his memory along with all his other trappings.    

He took great care of this vehicle, just getting new tires on the vehicle in 1979 (white walls)   changing the oil, filters and plugs.  He placed vinyl labels indicating the date and mileage on the cowl and filters.   I surmise a rather anal guy who loved his chick magnet ride.  

When I purchased it:

  1.) I changed the brake Master cylinder, wheel cylinders and installed new brake lining and hoses because they were seized from non use and the fluid was like mud.
2.)   Installed a new fuel tank because I could not get the old fuel out.
3.) Sent the carb out to be rebuilt by American Carburetor, Inc  (no replacement parts, NOS original AMC gaskets and original tag with matching date that came with it)  It looks and operates like new.  
4.) Replaced the E-Brake cable because it was very stiff and hard to operate.
5.) Flushed the entire coolant system and installed new hoses.
6.) Replaces the fan belt
7.) Replaced the rubber fuel lines.   
8.) Complete compound, polish inside, under the hood etc.   
9.) Change all lubes in diff, engine, trans, transfer case and lube chassis.  


I have the original WHITCO top and Doors in white.   The top is in new condition because it was not on the vehicle at the time it was placed in the garage   Very clean and super original.   

The spare is the original Goodyear Polyglas Suburbanite.   With original aluminum wheels.   Whitco original spare tire cover was on it when I purchased.   

There are factory dates and part numbers on the frame that are clearly visible, and the stamped frame serial numbers match to VIN.

There is only surface rust staining on the floor.

The seats are original to this vehicle, soft and strong: are beige in color,   only one small 1" seam separation on the drivers seat.

The seat belts are new condition,   one set of the rear seat belts are still in the factory protective black bag the way they came from the factory.   Amazing!

The Engine fires immediately and runs very, very smoothly, with no leaks, clicks, pings.   

All Gauges work, lights, brakes, wipers, horn, turn sigs.   

The factory color is Mellow Yellow matches the tag.

Fiat Chrysler recalls 4.8 million U.S. vehicles for cruise control defect

Fri, May 25 2018

WASHINGTON - Fiat Chrysler said on Friday it is recalling 4.8 million U.S. vehicles over a defect that could prevent drivers from deactivating cruise control and warned owners not to use the function until they get software upgrades. The Italian-American automaker said no injuries or crashes are related to the large recall campaign but said it had one report of a driver of a 2017 Dodge Journey rental car unable to deactivate the cruise control. Fiat Chrysler, which in 2015 was hit with penalties from U.S. regulators totaling $175 million for safety lapses, did not say how much the recalls would cost. The recall addresses what Fiat Chrysler called an "extremely rare" series of events that could lead to drivers being unable to cancel cruise control. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday it "strongly encourages vehicle owners to follow a warning" to stop using cruise control on the recalled vehicles until repaired. NHTSA said drivers could overpower the system by forcefully applying the brakes until the vehicle stopped. Fiat Chrysler also said the vehicle could be stopped by shifting into neutral and braking. Fiat Chrysler shares fell more than 2 percent in premarket trading in New York on the recall. Fiat Chrysler noted that at times cruise control systems automatically initiate acceleration to help vehicles maintain driver-selected speeds, including when going up an incline. If an acceleration occurs simultaneously with a short-circuit in a specific electrical network, a driver could be unable to deactivate the function. Fiat Chrysler said vehicles may be placed in park once stopped, at which point cruise-control is canceled. The recall involves a group of gasoline-powered vehicles with automatic transmissions from various model years built from 2014 through the 2019 model year. Most of the vehicles being recalled cover the 2014-2018 model years. Among the vehicles being recalled are the Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300, Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Journey, Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler and Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks and Ram 3500/4500/5500 cab chassis trucks. Fiat Chrysler made the announcement going into the busy Memorial Day weekend, which traditionally kicks off the summer driving season.

Jeep hiring 1,000 part-time workers in Toledo on Wrangler, Cherokee demand

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The new Jeep Cherokee has been quite a success for Chrysler, but its factory workers are getting tired. The automaker has agreed to hire up to 1,000 part-time, temporary employees at its Toledo Assembly Complex where the CUV and Wrangler are built. It will allow the company to keep Jeep production moving, while giving laborers a break.
According to plant manager Chuck Padden in the Toledo Blade, full-time workers are regularly taking on 60 hours a week, and it's beginning to wear on them. "To get them more time off is important to us, to make sure they're refreshed, and can work safely," said Padden.
Chrysler has already hired 380 temporary, part-time workers for the plant, and 50 have been converted to full-time employees. The company is in the process of interviewing the rest of the new hires now and plans to have all 1,000 in place by the summer. They will work between 10 and 30 hours a week mostly on weekends for $15.78 per hour with limited benefits. The temporary positions will last "as long as demand continues for the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Cherokee," said Jodi Tinson, Chrysler spokesperson for manufacturing and labor communications, to Autoblog in an email.
