This is a fantastic totally stock and original 1979 Jeep Cherokee S Wide-Wheel Quadra-drive 4x4. What makes this Jeep special and unique is its originality and factory options. Wedgewood Blue and Olympic White paint that still shines looks great on this truck, the graphics and optional Western Weave bucket seats along with full insulated color keyed original carpeting and door panels really completes the look. This Jeep comes equipped with the Cherokee S package, with the optional 360 CID 2-bbl, TurboHydramatic with Quadra-Trac with low-range, fuel tank skid-plate, tow-package, transmission cooler, and heavy-duty sway bars. The bottom of the truck is as clean as the top. Additionally the following factory options where ordered.
The Convenience Group: remote control left outside mirror, electric clock, lights on buzzer, intermittent wipers.
The Light Group: cargo area, glove box, engine compartment, lighted vanity mirror, dome-map, and courtesy lighting.
It also comes with the following optional equipment: air-conditioning, power tail-gate window, rear-defroster, passenger mirror, roof-rack, AM-FM CB Stereo Radio (still sounds great), flipper rear-quarter vent windows, styled steel wide wheels (original paint), power steering with tilt wheel, S-Medallions, and tinted glass.
I purchased this Jeep from the original owner who special ordered it from the dealer, Henkell Pontiac Buick AMC Jeep in Victorville CA. It has always been garage-kept and has never been off-road, I don't think anyone ever even rode in it with dirty shoes.
There is zero rust and the maintenance has always been performed. It runs and drives great and needs nothing. Recently it has had a new master-cylinder, carburetor, tune-up, and water-pump, and chassis greased. Everything works, although I think the air-conditioning could blow colder. The original paint is in great condition and still shines (I regularly wash and wax it). There are a few minor dings and scratches and the graphics have hairline cracks from age. There are old stone-chip stickers on the rear fender flares that have yellowed, I got one of them off but the glue is still there and I did not want to harm the paint so I left the other one alone, I don't know how to remove the adhesive residue, so that is for the next owner to play with..
This Jeep has a great patina and we get compliments everywhere we go. It drives great, no rattles or vibrations, tracks straight, brakes straight, decent performance for a totally stock drive train. It has the jack, lug wrench, good spare. I think it would even drive better with some new tires. The tires that are currently installed are older, but still have good tread. Some people are into Corvettes or Mustangs, I’m into this old Jeep and treat it well, I just don’t drive it much and the rear seat does not accommodate car seats very well. I’m selling it to buy a house.
There just aren’t many Cherokees like this anymore and I don’t think many where ever ordered like this, I like the look of the Cherokee S trim better than the Chief trim. I think the vintage 4x4 market is on the rise and vintage vehicles like this a great investments. AMC really made a great vehicle and where clearly ahead of their time. Call me if you have any questions at 312-972-7614 (cell). I’m located in Seattle WA and I have a clear title in my name, thanks for looking, Tom.

Refreshed Chrysler 300 SRT won't be sold in NA
Mon, 20 Oct 2014It looks like it might be time to bid farewell to the V8 rumble from the Chrysler 300 SRT - at least if you live in North America. The reported change comes as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reshuffles its ranks with the Dodge brand, re-absorbing SRT and building its muscular reputation with the Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Meanwhile, Chrysler is taking a more mainstream approach, and that likely means the end of overt high-performance models from the division for now.
According to Automotive News, the 300 SRT will be discontinued in the US for 2015, but it won't be totally dead. Some right-hand drive markets will still get the brawny V8 sedan next year, a distinction that goes a long way toward explaining some spy shots we've seen recently.
The 300 SRT's North American demise probably shouldn't come as a total shock. In FCA's five-year plan, it says that the 300 is destined for a refresh to be unveiled later this year, presumably at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. There's no mention of the SRT model in the document, though, which seems to signal its end.
This American Life spends a week selling Jeeps in Long Island
Thu, 19 Dec 2013So you think you know car dealers? Well, maybe you do, but This American Life spent a month at Town and Country Jeep Chrysler Doge Ram in Long Island to give us a behind-the-scenes look (or listen, since it's a radio program) at what it's like to be a car dealer.
Yes, there's a lot of swearing in thick New York accents, frustration, confusion, and generally it's a madhouse at the dealership. But that's understandable when the sales staff has to sell 129 vehicles in October in order to get an $85,000 manufacturer bonus - with several other Jeep dealerships within a 10-mile radius.
The episode, 129 Cars, is worth a listen, but make sure you have 71 minutes to spare if you want to get through it in one sitting. Head here for the unedited version or here for the bleeped version (which is 58 minutes long).
Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
