Please know first and foremost that this is a PROJECT vehicle and shall be bid on as such. It is a 1977 Jeep Wagoneer, with the original AMC 360ci v8, and motorcraft 2bbl carburetor. The vehicle runs and drives, however it will need to be shipped or towed due to the necessary driving equipment has been removed slince I have begun body work (headlights, grill, bumper, taillights). Things that I have done/replaced: New spark plugs, wires, cap, fuel filter, fuel pump, soft fuel lines, Sky Jacker shocks, brakes (including e-brake), freshly rebuilt carb, headlights, and edlebrock intake. I got the vehicle as a project, intending on turning it into a crawler, however I have lost interest and decided to sell it. When I got her, she didn't run, and adjust a few things while replacing others, she starts right up and runs, but the timing is off a little. She will need a tune up, and we had an issue with it staying running about a month ago, however it turned out the fuel filter was backwards and the idle speed was way too high, adjusted those two things and haven't had that issue since. I have a video of it running and driving, I will try to post it here or may post the link to youtube.


OK so now for the bad: there is no interior; there are the original front seats and dash (with cluster), and handles and window crank, and that's about it. The windows sort of work, and will go up and down but need a complete overhaul. The tailgate won't work, I tried to fix it but cannot find the short that is causing it to not operate. My plan was to remove all doors and tailgate, and rhino line the interior. There is a series of drill holes along both side that the previous owner tried to fill in with bondo, but it isn't working and they will need to be spot welded, or covered with faux wood vinyl. Again this is a PROJECT vehicle. 

I do have a secondary dash cluster because the one in the vehicle, only the speedo works. I think the wiring is messed up and just need to be hooked up correctly, but I don't know. The fenders were all trimmed to remove rust and in anticipation of fenders and bigger tires. There are small fluid leaks, a few drops per week. I think it's oil and coolant, but I am not sure. Again PROJECT vehicle. If you are intending on using this as a daily driver, as soon as it shows up, don't bid, she will need work to make you comfortable using it for long distances everyday. I think I have given everything I know about it. However she does run and drive, and was a lot of fun once I got her running, but I don't have the time, knowledge, or money to finish it. The reserve is super low, so enjoy bidding and good luck. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

NHTSA upgrading Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango headliner fire probe

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into headliner fires experienced by a small number of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners has been upgraded to an engineering analysis, the step before the initiation of a recall. In August last year the investigation began with 146,000 Grand Cherokees from 2012 after three complaints were received, but a report on Edmunds says it has been expanded to include 593,299 vehicles covering the 2011-2013 model years for the Jeep and the Dodge Durango, which uses the same headliner assembly, because of possibly 52 incidents of fire.
In some of those incidents drivers have reported a burning odor, smoke or open flames that were contained to the headliner or migrated to another area of the passenger compartment. The culprit has apparently been found: NHTSA blaming an electrical short in the sun visor vanity light wiring, which is routed under the headliner and held in place by three screws. Chrysler began its own probe into the issue when it was first reported and is still looking into the situation while, "fully supporting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation."

Freak accident during Jeep demonstration turns fatal

Mon, 20 May 2013

A 20-year-old woman was killed in Edmonton, Canada on Satuday, reports CTV News, in a freak accident resulting from a rollover during a Jeep demonstration. As part of a fundraising enthusiast event called "Jeeps Go Topless," the driver of one Jeep Wrangler drove up and onto the top of the tire of another.
CTV reports that the owner of the topmost Jeep then switched the vehicle off, posed for pictures and then dismounted from his vehicle. His movement off of the Jeep apparently caused it to tip over, crushing a woman who was on top of an adjacent vehicle. Edmonton police are currently investigating more fully what caused the parking lot accident to occur. Scroll below to watch the CTV News video report about this tragic incident.
