Year:1982 Mileage:136000
Location:

Oka, Quebec, Canada

Oka, Quebec, Canada

Hi, I am reluctantly selling my Jeep since I don't have any more time to enjoy it, and I have a lot more projects on the waiting list. I ought it 2 years ago with a broken differential and have fixed a lot of things on it to make it running again. I have used it to get around in the forest for the past year and it ran well. 

It's a 1982, with an inline 6 cylinder engine, 258 and a T4 manual transmission. It has a hard-top from a 97 YJ, it has the side bars for the roll cage, it has a soft roof also. Mileage is 136K miles but I don't know if it's actual. There are a lot of pros and cons on this car so here goes: 

Pros: 
- This vehicle has been previously restored but I don't know when and by who. Everything is color painted, frame is purple, engine is orange, transfer case is yellow, etc. 
- Very solid frame, has been re-plated on the right side, otherwise is rust free and rustproofed. 
- New spark plugs, distributor, PCV valve, fuel filter, etc. 
- New carburetor, Weber DGES 38 bought last year to replace the carter one
- Front calipers and pads are new
- Rear differential was replaced, with a used but working drive shaft. It's a locked differential with one piece axles to put on larger tires, new differential oil, etc. 
- No holes in the body or frame
- Doors come off

Cons: 
- Original paint is blue, re-painted by hand with matte Tremclad anti-rust paint. 
- Engine burns oil, when the car is hot it has more smoke from the tailpipe than a 19th Century locomotive. Piston rings are probably finished. Engine must be rebuilt
- Transfer case shifts very hard from 4X4 to 2X4 or low to high. I don't know what the problem is. 
- Seats are rusted though, well the springs are, and the fabric is torn. They must be replaced. 
- Wiring must be re-done on the whole car. It starts and runs with the key, speedo works, oil pressure works, but the gas and temp do not. Headlights do not work. Complete wiring must be redone in it. 

It starts and runs but needs a lot of work. I do not deem it secure to drive it as it is on the road (maybe in the forest but still)

Please refer to the pictures for any additional information, it comes exactly as pictured. 

It is located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada but I am willing to ship it worldwide at the buyer's expense. 

*** SHIPPING IT TO EUROPE IS AROUND 1000$ - 1500$ ***

Overseas buyers: Please message me for quote, it's easier for me to get it shipped to Helsinki, Rotterdam of somewhere along those lines. 
USA bidders: I could deliver the car to Champlain NY 12919 for free but the paperwork is on you, I have never exported a car to the US so I'm not aware of the laws, but could assist you in any case. 


If you have questions please ask before bidding.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.

What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."
