Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I will be listing this Jeep 1 time. If It does not sell, I will keep it and work on it over the winter. Like most Jeeps, this one needs some minor things to be 100% I just don't have time for the Jeep right now. I own 7 Jeeps. Every Jeep has a story and so does this one. The person that re-built the Jeep was in NY. He sold it to a guy in DE. The Jeep had a Chevy 406 small block with over 500hp. Way too much for a tall CJ5. That person took the 406 out and sold it to me with a Chevy 305 V8. I suggest you look at the Jeep if you are serious and close enough by. It's garage kept in Coopersburg PA 18036. Clear title in my name. Jeep can be shipped. YOU MAKE ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS. There will be a $300 fee on top for shipping. The shipper normally comes on a week day and I need to take off work. Shipper cannot make it to my rural house, so I have to pay someone to rollback it to a shopping center. Jeep is not insured, registered, or inspected. It will pass, except I don't think the horn is hooked up. Now for the Jeep: Had a brand new frame, no rust. Think it's by Advance Frame Works, over 2k Unknown make fiberglass body and front end. Nice paint, except drivers fender needs repaint. Nice Best top soft top and soft doors. Currie built Shaved Ford 9 inch front rear, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears Currie built Hi Pinion Dana 60, disk brakes, e brake, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears These rears over 9k for the pair. They look brand new yet. Custom front shaft, CV rear shaft Has stainless hinges and mirrors Custom front bumper with 11k Quadratec Winch and 8 inch Hella lights Custom rear bumper with tire carrier. I have a brand new 37in MTR for it, but no rim. A rim is $70. Bumpers and winch/lights $1500 Oversize 25 gallon fuel tank, custom skid, reverse lights, LED rock lights, sunken rear tail lights, Rocker Gaurds Vanco power brake system, stops awesome with 4 wheel disc, over $500 Aluminum radiator with electric fan, over $700 GM SM465 granny 4 speed trans with adapter to Dana 300 twin sticked, 1k for that setup with adapter New flywheel, Center Force clutch, hedders, nice custom Flow Master exhaust system out the rear Chevy 305. I don't know much about the motor. Motor runs good, has new 327/350hp cam, new oil pan, new holley 600, HEI distributor. Motor actually surprised me with the power, new plugs, MSD wire, cap and rotor. The oil pan is dry and so is the rear main seal. The power steering pump has a leak at the rear connection and I think the valve cover has a leak. Interior has a custom dash, but is missing 2 gauges. Wires are there for the gauges. Needs Volt and temp gauge. Oil pressure is 60 - 80lbs when running. PAINLESS wiring harness Tilt wheel, tuffy steel center console with a CD player and amp. Speakers in dash and on the floor. Seat covers are a little faded, there are harnesses for seatbelts. Has a rear seat Has a full roll cage tied into the frame. The spreader bars are too far in and right over your head. Bars need to be mover toward the outside. Rims are brand new steel $300 Tires are Goodyear MTR. The 4 on the Jeep all have over 1/2 tread and they are radial 37 x 12.5 x 17 spare is Brand New Has a AGR steering box and borgenson steering shaft $500 Dual shocks up front, dual stabilizers Has working heater I'm sure there is more I'm missing. Needs rollbar spreaders moved, some gauges in dash, stereo wires hooked up. Needs battery The AGR box is a quick ratio. I can sit at idle and turn the steering wheel with my pinky and turn the 37's. This makes for some touching steering while going down the road. I would put a stock box in and sell that AGR. I can drive it, I've had over 20 Jeeps. I had a computer alignment and it's right on. Fix the one or two small leaks. Oil pan and rear main is good, don't think intake is leaking. Original owner lifted the Jeep with spring under springs. The pack consists of 12 leafs. Also has about 1 1/2inch body lift. I would take some springs out of the pack or just buy 4 new BDS springs and drop it down a little. That's an honest description of this Jeep. I have 100 percent feedback. The frame and rears are less then the starting bid. Like I said, I will keep it if it doesn't sell and work on it over the winter. I do have a trailer. I can deliver the Jeep, with full payment, up to 150 miles for $2 a loaded mile. Can store, with full payment for up to 2 weeks. |

NHTSA boss Strickland weighs in on Jeep recall fracas
Sat, 15 Jun 2013Adding yet another chapter to the ongoing Jeep recall story, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) head David Strickland has gone on record to defend the government's request that Chrysler recall 2.7 million out-of-production Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty vehicles after the agency investigated fiery rear-end collisions that have reportedly killed at least 51 people over the years. In statements made to The Detroit News, Strickland said, "We felt very strongly that the process that we undertook and the findings that we made and ... we made the decision to issue a recall request. We do not take that very lightly." The top US auto safety regulator stopped short of telling owners to park their cars until the automaker takes action. "They can make their own risk assessment and their own choices," he said.
Chrysler does not intend to recall the models, insisting the "vehicles met and exceeded all applicable requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including FMVSS 301, pertaining to fuel-system integrity" when they were manufactured and sold. "The company does not agree with NHTSA's conclusions and does not intend to recall the vehicles cited in the investigation. The subject vehicles are safe and are not defective," Chrysler announced last week in a statement. "We believe NHTSA's initial conclusions are based on an incomplete analysis of the underlying data, and we are committed to continue working with the agency to resolve this disagreement."
Legally, Chrysler has until June 18 to formally respond to NHTSA's request. If the automaker does not take action, NHTSA is expected to issue a formal finding and seek a recall.
Jeepster name may be used for Fiat-based baby Jeep
Tue, 17 Dec 2013In 1948, Willys-Overland, the forbearers of Jeep, built a vehicle called the Jeepster. It was a funky little thing, designed as a mix of the more rugged Jeeps that came before with what was then a modern car, which arguably makes it the world's first crossover. The name was later revived from 1966 to 1972, which means for Jeep enthusiasts, it has some history.
Now, the modern Jeep brand may revive the Jeepster name for a new product, likely based on Fiat bones, that will slot in at the bottom of the brand's range underneath the soon-to-depart Compass and Patriot. The report comes from Australia's Drive, which cites a dealer source that has seen the vehicle.
That same dealer confirmed there is a link between the Jeepster and the rumored Fiat 500X, and that the former will be available in both front and all-wheel-drive variants. The source also claims both gas and diesel engines will be available, although as this is an Aussie site, we shouldn't take that to mean we'll get a diesel Jeepster in the US.
Jeep dealer buries WWII Willys GP in showroom floor
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The Willys MB Jeep earned icon status during World War II thanks to its ruggedness, simplicity and go-anywhere ability. Following the war, it didn't take long for the handy vehicles to be scooped up by the public, and a brand slowly grew around the vehicles that has continued to thrive. Fast-forward to present day, where it's not uncommon for auto dealers to try to grab some of the magic of yesteryear by displaying classic models to connect customers with their brands' proud histories. Now, a Canadian Chrysler Group dealer is taking that notion to the extreme by actually making a vintage WWII Jeep part of its foundation.
Bay King Chrysler in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, recently completed its new showroom, and the franchise really wanted to show its dedication to the Jeep brand. As dealer principal Jamie Richter tells Autoblog, the inspiration for the Jeep installation came from his brother, who became fascinated with a home that had a glass floor looking down into its wine cellar. The company already had the 1943 Willys MB to display, but it had originally planned to build a jungle gym around it for customers' kids. Now, the classic is literally in the floor as customers enter. Richter tells Autoblog that customer reaction so far has been "fantastic."
It's certainly a novel way to bring people into the showroom, and seemingly a nice nod not only to Jeep, but to the men and women who served in the war. If you want to see more about how the Jeep was actually installed and what it looks like, check out this video.
