Selling "Root Beer" my father's 1983 Jeep Cherokee Widetrack with rebuilt 360 engine, 727 auto. 3 spd. trans, runs,drives, and sounds good!  This is the last year of the FSJ Cherokees. Offenhauser intake manifold.  Last year this Cherokee made over a 800 mile roundtrip with no problems other than many stops for gas! 

The odometer reads 218,308 miles.  I do not have documentation, but there is not even 5K miles on the engine since it has been rebuilt. The transmission was rebuilt and is very strong.  The 4 wheel drive works just fine as well.  There is a locker in the front axle. I do not know what brand.  The rear axle has a limited slip.

BJ's Offroad bumpers and lift with 35" tires. All glass and headliner is good. Electric windows and door locks all work including the rear glass window.  Light surface rust on the original paint therefore the Rustoluem primer racing strips. If I was going to keep this I would remove the primer and clear coat the entire car.  The patina on this Jeep is so cool.  In my opinion it would be better than repainting, but that is up to you!  Other than surface rust no body rust not even in the metal fender flares.  The floors and frame are solid.  The clips on the turn signals are broken and the lamp is kind of just sitting in the opening.  Also the grill is a little loose, but nothing is broken on the grill itself. Just needs a little work to get it grill tight. The seat belt receptacle on the driver's side is not working.  The AC is not hooked up, but many of the parts are included.  It does not have a radio.  

Not sure of the entire history of this Jeep, but it apparently has lived its life in the south.  My father has had it for about 3 years and a friend of the family had it for about 5 years before that and he did the lift, bumpers, tires, engine, and transmission rebuild. 

Not too many survivors like this out there.  These Cherokees are getting more difficult to find in this kind of driver condition. Would not take much to make this Jeep very nice! Or drive it like it is.  It gets attention everywhere!   

Clear Texas title. Sold "AS IS WHERE IS".  Will assist with your shipping arrangements. 

Please contact me with any questions about shipping or the Jeep itself prior to auction ending.  The Jeep is located in Edgewood, TX which is about 60 miles east of Dallas, TX.  You could drive this thing home it is that reliable.

Thank you for looking at this fine piece of American steel!

Jeep bringing two special-edition Renegades to the LA Auto Show

Thu, Nov 10 2016

Few manufacturers do limited edition runs like Jeep, which has released everything from a 75th Anniversary Edition Wrangler to a Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice Renegade. The automaker is revealing two new versions of the Renegade next week at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show: a 2017 Jeep Renegade Deserthawk and a 2017 Jeep Renegade Altitude. The off-road ready Deserthawk starts at $28,140 and builds on the bones of the already capable Renegade Trailhawk. The extra $1,495 nets you an exclusive Mojave Sand paint option, hood, and rear panel decals. It also comes equipped with rock rails and the towing package. Inside, the Deserthawk comes with black leather seats, Light Frost stitching and accents, all-weather floor mats, and a cargo tray mat. As it's based on the Trailhawk, the Deserthawk comes with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The Renegade Altitude, like the other Jeep Altitude models, essentially means black on black on black. It comes with 18-inch gloss black wheels with gloss black accents on the front and rear badges, grille rings and tail lamp rings. The black theme continues inside with black cloth seats and black gloss trim. The Altitude also features what Jeep calls Metal Diamond door handles and shift knob. Standard features include a backup camera and a keyless ignition. All that black gloss will set you back at least $22,390. Look for the Renegade pair to arrive in dealers soon. The Altitude will be available later in November while the Deserthawk hits showrooms in January. Related Video: LA Auto Show Jeep Crossover Off-Road Vehicles jeep renegade

Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014

Mon, Dec 22 2014

With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.
