NO RESERVE............NO RESERVE

I’m selling the Jeep I bought a couple years back (a car I bought specifically for my son as a learning vehicle).

 

When my son got his drivers’ license I wanted to put him in a tank. Something safe but also something I would have to worry about getting damaged.  This 1996 Jeep Country fit the bill perfectly.  As you see in the photos it came already “Pre-dented” in the front and rear, so a few more scrapes and scratches would hardly be noticeable.

 

I have put significant money into it trying to make it safe and reliable.

I will list all the good points AND bad below.

 

My son is now gone to college and it is starting to sit around in the driveway.

I would like to give it a new home and get it out of my way.

It would make an excellent first car (as I have used it) for anyone.

 

It RUNS and drives well.  Starts every time however there are a couple nagging issues.

 

1)     Exhaust leak.  You can hear it when the car is started, but after it warms up, it goes away.  Not affecting performance.

2)     Awful (yet intermittent) vibration at highway speed after you hit a significant bump.  I have replaced just about every component in the front end and the shocks all around but didn’t seem to fix the problem.  (As a result I only allow my son to drive it locally and below highway speeds).

 

The GOOD:

Everything works – I think.  I can’t check the AC now, but it was working.

Replaced: Shocks, Tie Rod, Tie Rod Ends, Adjustment Sleeves and Dampner.

Power Steering Service

Brake Service Front – Pads and Rotor

Battery

4 Wheel drive works

Power windows and locks

Radio (w CD)

Newer tires

 

 

The Bad:

Dents front and rear (in pictures)

Fabric on the Head liners is loose (holding with pins)

Crack in front windshield (been there for years)

Back hatch broken shocks (opens and closes – but won’t stand open on it’s own)

Auto Passenger Door lock works (but sticks sometimes – have to reach over to unlock it)

 I’m offering this at No Reserve – but reserve the right to end it early because I will also attempt to sale it locally.

 

You will need to arrange you own pick up.  I would not drive it on the open road because I still don’t know the cause of the intermittent vibration.  If you are local then driving it will not be a problem.  It will go all day long on surface streets and below highway speed.

 

You are more than welcome to see it and test drive it.

This Jeep Forward Control is incredibly clean, for sale

Fri, Jun 10 2016

Jeep loves going all out on its Moab Easter Safari concept cars. This year was no exception; aside from an insane 707-horsepower Wrangler, the plucky little FC-150 was the star of the show. Of course, it was artfully restored and given plenty of love before the annual, off-road adventure. Sadly, you can't buy a brand new FC-150 from Jeep anymore, or even any sort of pickup truck for that matter. No, the last time you were able to buy an FC-150 was way back when in 1965. Thankfully, at least one dealer recognized the heritage of this stunning little machine, and has listed a pristine example for sale on eBay for sale on eBay. This one was built in 1958, and only 11,595 miles read on the odometer. That's insanely low for a car this old and this rare. The President Red and Plantation white exterior looks straight from the factory, as do the wheels and tires. Though, you have to imagine that most everything on this car has been restored considerably given the lifespan, even without the dealer outright saying it. Four-wheel drive and a four-speed manual gearbox come standard; there's even a spare tire in case things go wrong on the trail. The cherry on top being the stunningly clean, no-nonsense interior. It's about as factory fresh one might get in a 60-year old Jeep. With a current bid of $14,600 (per this writing), it's not even that expensive. If you're looking to snag a handsome piece of Jeep history, look no further than this. But hurry, there are only a few hours left to bid.

MotorWeek reviews '83 American Motors lineup

Wed, Mar 18 2015

The 30th anniversary of American Motors' 1987 sale to Chrysler by Renault is just a few years away. AMC is long dead, but for its latest peek in the archives, MotorWeek winds back the clock to somewhat happier times. Take a look at the entire AMC lineup from 1983, including its models from Jeep and Renault. The Jeeps, and to a lesser extent, the AMC Eagle, enjoy a cult following today, but it's amazing how many of these other vehicles are now practically forgotten. Even the big debut in '83 of the Renault Alliance is largely ignored. Although with a ludicrous amount of body roll and a 55-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, it's probably rightly buried.
