1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 1 Owner, Great Project! on 2040-cars
Overland Park, Kansas, United States
1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer station wagon. 1 owner since new. Would be a great car
to restore. 143K miles. Good running 360 V8/automatic. Doesn't smoke. Gold w/
tan leather interior. Power seats, windows, locks, fog lights, tow package. Was a daily
driver until a couple years ago. Thought the starter had gone out and since I
had another car didn't bother to mess with it. Come to find out a couple weeks
ago it was just a bad battery. The car is super straight & never wrecked.
The body does have some rust. Rear wheel wells and rockers have some
small/moderate holes. Small patches of surface rust and bubbles on other parts
of the body. Doors are all good. Roof edges above doors are rusty w/ some tiny holes that have been
filled w/ silicone sealer. Car had some hail damage in 1992 and the hood & entire roof section were replaced which might explain the rust along the drip rails. There are patch panels available for most of the bad rust
spots. Wood grain is worn off. Floors from underneath look good. Car was undercoated when it was purchased new so the chassis was well protected for most of its life. Interior is
pretty good. A couple tears in the driver's seat, other seats are good, just
worn. Carpet is decent, dash is good. Headliner was falling down & was
stapled back up. Bumpers are great, grill has a small piece out of it, driver's side seatbelt is apart, door window trim nice, all glass is good.
The car runs good and will drive around the block but if you are going to drive it everyday I would check the belts, hoses, change fluids, tune-up, etc. since it's been sitting & probably replace the tires. Car doesn't like to move when it's been sitting but once it warms up it seems to go fine. May just need a transmission service. Transmission shifted fine before. 4WD does not work (bad transfer case). Runs fine in 2WD. Car shows 143K miles but may be closer to 148K as the odometer stopped working shortly before it was parked. Engine has only about 90K miles thanks to a dealer forgetting to put oil in after an oil change. Motor was replaced w/ a new Jeep crate motor at that point. A/C is not working. Blew cool but not cold before parked. Heat seems to work. Brakes are good. One rear door window doesn't work, opposite rear door doesn't open. Other door windows work fine, doors open/close solid. Tailgate window works good halfway. I think the rubber seal is hard & binding it. The rear window motor was replaced a few years ago. Front power seats work. Has an aftermarket AM/FM cassette player. Car is 99% complete. Missing a 2 hub cabs and ashtray covers. I do have the parts but as of writing this can't find them. 1 rear armrest is missing in the photos but I have since found it. Hood ornament and one wood grain strip is off but in the car. Car will need a battery. I have one to start it & show it runs but is not included. It's out of my truck and is too tall to shut the hood. Clear Kansas title. Car was well maintained most of it's life at the local Jeep dealer. A lot of good memories in this car and would love to find a good home for it. Certainly worth restoring! If you need further information I can be reached at 913-221-5666. Car is for sale locally as well. |

UAW papers reveal release dates for new Dodge, Jeep and Ram models
Fri, Dec 6 2019Documents published by the United Auto Workers union reveal key information about some of the products Dodge, Jeep and Ram will release during the early 2020s. All three brands will try to capitalize on the growing demand for trucks and SUVs in the United States. The agreement between the UAW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) outlines what the period between 2019 and 2023 will look like from an employee's vantage point. The $4.5 billion factory the automaker is building in Detroit will begin manufacturing a three-row Jeep model in 2020, and it will add the next-generation Grand Cherokee to its roster the following year, according to CarScoops. The new Grand Cherokee will also roll out of the Jefferson North facility that makes the current model scheduled to retire shortly before its successor arrives. The Dodge Durango will continue to be built there, and the UAW papers mention a mild-hybrid variant of the SUV due out before the end of 2020. Two body-on-frame Jeep models tentatively scheduled to revive the heritage-laced Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer nameplates will break cover in 2021. They will be built alongside Ram pickups at the Warren Truck plant, and odds are the three models will share several components under the sheetmetal. Adding the two Jeep models is expected to create 1,400 jobs, FCA predicted. Speaking of Ram, the high-performance TRX model (pictured) aimed at the Ford F-150 Raptor's jugular is penciled in for a 2020 launch. The concept that previewed the model made its debut in 2016, so it's reasonable to assume it will have changed considerably by the time it reaches showrooms. It will be based on the newest variant of the 1500, not on the last-generation model still sold as the Classic. What won't change is the supercharged, 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 between its fenders. The plug-in hybrid Wrangler remains on track for a 2020 launch. The Cherokee will continue to come out of Belvedere Assembly in Illinois, but the UAW's documents mention "fresh models / features" off of its unibody platform. Whether that means new trim levels or additional body styles remains to be seen, but it sounds like something new and Cherokee-related is around the corner. The ancient Dodge Journey shares at least one thing with the beater you drove in high school: a four-speed automatic transmission. The gearbox is finally on its way out, according to the UAW, and the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that powers the entry-level model isn't long for this world, either.
Dongfeng and PSA extend Chinese joint venture
Thu, Dec 19 2019BEIJING/PARIS — China's Dongfeng and Peugeot maker PSA are extending their business cooperation, despite the Chinese company reducing its stake in PSA to help smooth the French carmaker's merger with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Dongfeng said on Thursday it had agreed with PSA to extend the duration of their joint venture Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobiles (DPCA). Under the deal, the venture could get the rights to PSA's new brands in China and will benefit from new technologies and intellectual properties, the Chinese company said. PSA was not immediately available for comment. The announcement comes a day after the companies said Dongfeng would reduce its 12.2% stake in PSA by selling 30.7 million shares to the French company. Analysts said the move could smooth U.S. regulatory approval for PSA's roughly $50 billion (GBP38.97 billion) merger with Italian-American carmaker FCA. The sale of Dongfeng's shares in PSA, worth around 680 million euros ($757 million), will leave the Chinese group holding around 4.5% of the merged PSA-FCA, which is set to become the world's fourth-biggest carmaker by sales volumes. "As the cooperation between Dongfeng and PSA deepens, we expect the joint venture to continue making good progress in China," a Dongfeng representative said. On a conference call, Dongfeng said DPCA would have exclusive rights to PSA's Opel cars should the partners agree to bring the brand to China, and enjoy lower prices on car parts imported from PSA. Earlier this year, a document seen by Reuters showed Dongfeng and PSA plan to cut jobs at Wuhan-based DPCA and reduce its number of car plants to try to make the venture more profitable.

$40M award for boy's death in Jeep fire upheld by Georgia high court
Fri, Mar 16 2018The Georgia Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously upheld a $40 million award to the family of a 4-year-old boy killed in 2012 when the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which he was riding was rear-ended and burst into flames. A lower court in 2015 reduced a jury verdict from nearly $150 million to $40 million. Fiat Chrysler spokesman Michael Palese said the company was "disappointed in this decision. We are considering our legal options." The Jeep's fuel tank was placed near the back of the vehicle, which plaintiffs said made it vulnerable to rear-end collisions. The Supreme Court ruling said "evidence showed that Chrysler had long known that mounting a gas tank behind the rear axle was dangerous. Evidence also showed that Chrysler's placement of the gas tank behind the rear axle was contrary to industry trends, which favored placing tanks in front of the rear axle." Fiat Chrysler lawyers said during the trial that the fire did not cause Walden's death and blamed the driver of the pickup truck that hit the vehicle. The company said Thursday it "continues to extend sympathies to the family of Remi Walden for their loss." On appeal, the company contended it was prejudicial to raise Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne's compensation, which totaled more than $68 million, according to a company executive who testified at trial. The automaker had denied there was a safety issue and has said the vehicles were no more dangerous than comparable SUVs built at the time. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) linked more than 50 deaths to the Jeep fuel-tank issue. Under government pressure, Fiat Chrysler recalled 1.56 million 2002-07 Jeep Liberty and 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs in June 2013 to address fire risks and agreed to install trailer hitches to protect the gas tanks. The recall and a "customer satisfaction campaign" that covered the Jeep in the fatal Georgia crash occurred after Marchionne held private talks with senior U.S. Transportation Department officials in 2013. The Georgia Supreme Court opinion said the award was proper in part because Marchionne was "alleged to have specifically interjected himself in a federal safety investigation to the detriment" of the Walden family. In 2015, NHTSA announced Fiat Chrysler would pay a then-record $105 million civil penalty over lapses in safety recalls involving millions of vehicles, including older Jeep SUVs for fire risks.
