Clinton, Illinois, United States

Here is my 86 convertible. It has new tires about 2500 miles on them. It runs good could maybe use a tune up. I have been driving to work daily 100 miles round trip so mileage may change. The a/c needs to be charged I took the belt off because it tries to run and makes a whining sound. The radiator, belts, hoses, thermostat, water pump, and alternator have been changed. I also changed the drivers side power window motor. The small back windows would not move both tracks which are made of plastic have broken I also replaced both of those they work like new. The shocks in the rear, brakes front and rear, along with the drums and rotors. Also replaced the shocks for the trunk. This car was my grandpa hate to sell but have to. The cruise, power locks, windows, heater and radio all work. The wipers stopped working and had to replace the bushings from the motor to the wiper arm assembly a few weeks ago. The power seat on drivers side works but something is loose under seat moves some when you sit down. The seats are in ok condition a few cracks on drivers side. The arm rest is a little faded where it says mark cross. The air vent outlet on passenger side is broken also where the sun visors mount in the center the piece is broken off it is a full piece that runs along the top of window inside. The paint is ok there is a few dents and scratches not to bad also one of the center caps of the hub caps is missing. The trunk has some white spots in the paint not sure what that is. The top has a small hole in it and just this year the back window has started to peel at bottom I took a picture of. The top goes up and down as it should. Also the dash works but in the sunlight you can't see like it is on dim? Not sure what the problem is i think the dimmer switch is fine I have a Garmin I use when I can't see the dash. Any other questions just ask would like to see it go to a good home.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.

This forgotten Chrysler was its bid for Humvee contract

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Today, the Humvee might be as associated with the dead automotive brand from General Motors as it is with the hard-working truck that has long served as one of the backbone vehicles of America's military. But Autoline host John McElroy is showing off a practically unknown part of the model's story by digging out some old photos from his personal archive.
The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle project, better known today as the Humvee, can be traced back to a US Department of Defense request for bids to build a new military truck. According to McElroy, he was invited to the Chrysler proving grounds in 1981 to check out the bid from the brand's defense division. The company's concept was that it might be able to build an inexpensive, capable vehicle by using off-the-shelf parts.
The angular body panels gave the truck a look almost like a modern, stealth vehicle. However, the flat look was actually just to make the tooling as cheap as possible to produce. Still, this Chrysler looked surprisingly futuristic for the early '80s. It's actually not too far away from the famous Lamborghini LM002, itself intended as a possible military-spec machine.
