1974 Original Cj5 Renegade on 2040-cars
Lebanon, New Jersey, United States
|
This does not come around often...say once every 40 years. This 1974 is completely factory original. The paint is original as Toledo applied it, graphics, seats, windshield, body, engine....everything. I spent months cleaning and polishing and detailing every part of this jeep to get back to showroom condition. I purchased this vehicle from the original owner in Missouri. She was a widow of 33 years. This jeep was her husbands and the couple owned a summer cottage on a lake just outside KC. He purchased it new in Kansas City in 1974 and took it directly to their summer home. There he put 22, 250 miles on the jeep until 1981 when after he had put the vehicle in the garage or the evening he had a stroke and shortly died. The jeep was left in the garage for 33 years by his widow so as to preserve his memory along with all his other trappings. He took great care of this vehicle, just getting new tires on the vehicle in 1979 (white walls) changing the oil, filters and plugs. He placed vinyl labels indicating the date and mileage on the cowl and filters. I surmise a rather anal guy who loved his chick magnet ride. When I purchased it: 1.) I changed the brake Master cylinder, wheel cylinders and installed new brake lining and hoses because they were seized from non use and the fluid was like mud. 2.) Installed a new fuel tank because I could not get the old fuel out. 3.) Sent the carb out to be rebuilt by American Carburetor, Inc (no replacement parts, NOS original AMC gaskets and original tag with matching date that came with it) It looks and operates like new. 4.) Replaced the E-Brake cable because it was very stiff and hard to operate. 5.) Flushed the entire coolant system and installed new hoses. 6.) Replaces the fan belt 7.) Replaced the rubber fuel lines. 8.) Complete compound, polish inside, under the hood etc. 9.) Change all lubes in diff, engine, trans, transfer case and lube chassis. I have the original WHITCO top and Doors in white. The top is in new condition because it was not on the vehicle at the time it was placed in the garage Very clean and super original. The spare is the original Goodyear Polyglas Suburbanite. With original aluminum wheels. Whitco original spare tire cover was on it when I purchased. There are factory dates and part numbers on the frame that are clearly visible, and the stamped frame serial numbers match to VIN. There is only surface rust staining on the floor. The seats are original to this vehicle, soft and strong: are beige in color, only one small 1" seam separation on the drivers seat. The seat belts are new condition, one set of the rear seat belts are still in the factory protective black bag the way they came from the factory. Amazing! The Engine fires immediately and runs very, very smoothly, with no leaks, clicks, pings. All Gauges work, lights, brakes, wipers, horn, turn sigs. The factory color is Mellow Yellow matches the tag. |

Jeep gunning to build 250,000 Cherokees a year
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Contrary to what a certain politician may have said last year about Jeep moving to China, the automaker is in fact doing the opposite, with plans to greatly increase the production capacity at its Toledo North Assembly plant in Ohio. The Detroit Free Press is reporting that there are big plans for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and Toledo North, as a local union president has informed the newspaper that Chrysler is planning to produce around 250,000 examples of the new midsize utility per year.
To put this number into context, 250,000 units is more than what Jeep Liberty sales totaled here over the last three years combined. Even taking into consideration that the 250,000 units will be distributed beyond US borders, that's an ambitious volume figure full-stop - and that's without taking into consideration the new Cherokee's love/hate design. In its favor, though, Jeep is making remarkable inroads globally as of late, and the Cherokee's size could work well in emerging markets. To get that kind of output from Toledo's Cherokee assembly line, Chrysler will reportedly hire 1,105 new workers - that's in addition to the 200 workers already being hired to build the popular Jeep Wrangler, which is itself expected to top 220,000 units this year.
2014 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Tue, 10 Dec 2013The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:

2014 Jeep Cherokee configurator up and running
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Production delays aside, Jeep is steaming towards its September on-sale date for the 2014 Cherokee. The reborn midsizer's configurator has just gone live, meaning you can fiddle with different options, colors and trim levels to your heart's content.
The cheapest model available is the 4X2 Sport, which starts at a reasonable $22,995. On the high end, the Cherokee's builder allowed us to indulge our passion for ludicrously priced vehicles by outfitting the top-end Trailhawk, which already starts at $29,495, with $8,610 in options. The resulting car, which you can see above, would retail for $39,100 after the $995 destination is factored in.
Head on over to Jeep's build-it-yourself website and have a look around.
