You are bidding on what may be the very nicest Grand Wagoneer available!

***I have just learned through Ebay's VIN check that this vehicle shows a Salvage branding on the title at some point.  The GA title I received was clear and the Michigan Title I hold is CLEAR (see the pic).  I believe in full disclosure and am now sadly re-listing with a Salvage title.  Undeserving of such a fine example.  However, I stand by the description below and still hold that you will not find a nicer Wagoneer.

Shipping is Free, up to $700, if you purchase it for my very reasonable "buy it now" price

*As a perfectionist and an engineer, I work hard to only acquire the best vehicles for my personal use and then continue to work hard to maintain their level of perfection.  This Wagoneer is no different.  I believe in a full disclosure approach to selling such that you can be the most comfortable in your remote purchase.  See the many photos.  Check out the videos where I point out all of the flaws that are known to me.  No Disappointments!

Body:
The body is in great condition.  It has been repainted the original color at some point.  There is no rust.  There is absolutely no sign of damage or accidents that I can find or am aware of.  With the exception of the tailgate, all the panels and glass look to be original. See the video where I walk around the body and point out the known flaws. Here's the link to the Video: http://youtu.be/iWv_JL7fqE0

Interior:
The interior is in amazing condition!  Unbelievable for a vehicle that is 25 years old. The Oxblood leather is near perfect. The door panels are flawless.  Very original. It is clear that this wagoneer has always lived a pampered life.  The passenger power windows are slow but work best from their respective door switched.  See the video where I show a few areas for improvement.

Powertrain:
I've gone through the original AMC 360 V8 and have replaced everything wearable: Water pump, oil pump(with mid-plate), alternator, bearings, rings, gaskets, seals, cam, upgrade to electric fuel pump, etc, etc. I've upgraded the cooling system with a custom aluminum radiator and a large oil-cooler. 
I've replaced all of the emission controls including the cat.  It has a brand new smog pump that is installed but not hooked up.  It has not passed California smog, but I see no reason that it won't be able to. 
The 4wd works perfectly.  
I've re-leveled the suspension to sit more appropriately for a classic SUV.  There are new shock absorbers
*Flaw: Despite all my careful efforts, the motor occasionally drips oil. Not a puddle, just 1 or 2 drips while parked.   I haven't had time to chase it down, but It seems to be coming from the back of a valve cover.  Not a big deal for most, but disappointing for me. My apologies.  Additionally, it shall be known that while the tires have a lot of tread left roll smoothly and quietly, they are more than 10yrs old, and should be replaced.


History:
I found this Jeep in Georgia and bought it for summer use only to pull the family boat back in Michigan.  The seller I bought it from told me that it has always belong to people in his neighborhood.  After moving to California, realizing that I no longer use it, I brought it out here to get it ready to sale. The Michigan title is CLEAR and in hand - see the pic. 

All the original pieces from which I've upgraded come with Jeep: Original radiator, front leafs, and valve covers, etc.  Also included is a nice cover and a service manual.

I have more pictures of the underside of the doors, and pictures of each panel if you'd like to see more.

The winner of the this auction is going to love this Wagoneer!

Jeep dealer buries WWII Willys GP in showroom floor

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

The 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.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Jeep sets all-time sales record in 2012

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

Last year was good to Jeep. Chrysler has announced its trail-rated brand set an all-time global sales record in 2012 by moving 701,626 units. That number easily surpasses the previous record set in 1999 when Jeep sold 675,494 models. All told, the brand saw a 19-percent sales increase worldwide over 2011, and much of that swell can be traced directly to the Wrangler. While the Grand Cherokee led Jeep sales, the Wrangler posted record numbers both globally and within the US, moving 194,142 and 141,669 units in each market, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Compass beat its previous global sales record with 103,321 units rolling off of dealer lots. In the US, Jeep sold 62,010 Patriot units, breaking that model's previous record as well. Jeep's impressive performance in 2012 marks the second year in a row the brand has seen double-digit percentage sales increases. Check out the full press release below.
