**1982 Jeep Scrambler 85,000 Original Miles, Fresh restoration**
Up for auction is a 1982 Jeep Scrambler with Renegade Package. This beautiful Jeep is a one owner, with 85,000 original miles. It has spent its entire life in the hot dry climate of the beautiful Southwest. This Jeep comes out of the stable of Classic 4x4 Co. of Las Cruces, New Mexico, who specializes in these highly collectable Jeeps. This is a fresh restoration that was just completed. This long and tedious process began with the entire body being stripped all the way down to bare metal. There lie a completely rust free body, that can only be found in this part of the country. It was then primed with several coats of 2K primer, then sanded and blocked to perfection. It was then sprayed with several coats of DuPont base coat back to the original color. Then on top, came several coats of DuPont Chroma Clear, which has been done to perfection with a mirror finish, with lots of depth. Next came the original factory decal kit, which completely gives it that factory look. The drive train starts with the original factory engine, that has been completely rebuilt. The transmission is the factory 4 speed and goes through all the gears with greatest of ease. The suspension has been equipped with a very modest 1.5 inch Rough Country lift. All five wheels are original and have been sand blasted and painted back to eggshell white. It has five brand new 31x10.50x15 Mud Terrain tires. The interior is the Renegade Package, which includes carpet, factory tachometer, clock, power steering and power brakes. I am sure I left several things out but there have been thousands of dollars spent on this Jeep making what it is today. This Jeep needs nothing but a new owner. This is not a hacked up Jeep with a new paint job, instead, this is a Jeep that has been professionally done with nothing overlooked. With that being said, please bid with confidence as this is truly a one of a kind Jeep that is highly collectible and will only go up in value. My terms and conditions are as follows: there will be a $1000 deposit due with 24 hours of auction end and the remaining balance due within 3 days, bank to bank wire transfer only. These terms and conditions are non negotiable, so please understand them before bidding. I have a perfect feedback history and expect the same of the buyer. I will answer any and all questions in a timely manner and will also make myself available to the shipping company of your choice, at buyer's expense. This vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty or guarantee of any kind. Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding!!!

Fires, deaths continue after Jeep fuel tank recall
Wed, Feb 11 2015As Kayla White slowed her SUV behind two other cars to exit a suburban Detroit freeway on Veterans Day, it was rammed from behind by a Cadillac STS. Her red 2003 Jeep Liberty bounced off a Nissan in front of it, rolled onto its side and exploded in flames. Other drivers ran to help but were forced back by the heat. Firefighters arrived in just three minutes but were too late. White, a 23-year-old restaurant hostess who was eight months pregnant, died of burns and smoke inhalation. White is one of more than 70 people killed in fires involving older Jeeps with plastic fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle. Fiat Chrysler, which makes Jeeps, recalled 1.56 million of them in June 2013 under pressure from US safety regulators. But only 12 percent of the SUVs have been repaired in the 18 months since the recall, a much slower pace than usual. And White's Jeep was not among those fixed. Last week, prosecutors charged the Cadillac driver with committing a moving violation that caused a death. But safety advocates and the lawyer for White's family say the blame belongs as much, if not more, on Chrysler and an auto-industry safety system that moves too slowly to prevent tragedy. The rear-mounted tanks have little structure to protect them if struck from behind, making them susceptible to punctures and fires. Moving the gas tank in front of the axle would be expensive and difficult. So Chrysler's remedy involved installing trailer hitches on the rear of the Jeeps as an extra layer of protection. Government testing showed the hitches protected the tanks in crashes up to 40 mph when stationary Jeeps were hit from behind. But at higher speeds, they wouldn't help. White tried to get the repair done a few weeks before her death but was told by a Jeep dealer that parts weren't available, according to Gerald Thurswell, her family's lawyer. He wouldn't identify the dealership, and his contention could not be independently verified by The Associated Press. Thurswell contends the gas tank ruptured, spilling fuel that touched off the fire. A Chrysler spokesman expressed sympathy to White's family but said the company had no written proof that she asked a dealer about the recall. Two crash reconstruction experts interviewed by the AP say gas wouldn't have spilled from White's Jeep if the tank had been mounted in front of the rear axle. Both say a hitch might have prevented the tank from being damaged, but because both vehicles were in motion, neither expert could say for sure.
WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block
Thu, 30 May 2013Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.
Jeep Wrangler by Vilner takes extreme luxury off-road
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Vilner turned its customary and intensely luxurious attentions to a two-door Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited back in 2012, following that up this year with its take on the four-door version. A coat of lustrous black paint outside is brightened up LED headlights, foglights and taillights and layers of chrome laid on the grille, mirrors, door handles and fuel filler cap.
Stance gets an injection of brawn from the 20-inch wheels, and they'll roll faster thanks to the power upgrade from 197 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque in the 2.8-liter diesel to 257 hp and 412 lb-ft.
Inside is furious red, with cross-stitched crimson leather and Alcantara demanding your focus. When you can look away from that, you'll find the raw metal parts painted black and again ornamented in minor applications of chrome. Feel free to feast on it in the high-res gallery above.
