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. |

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA
Tue, 08 Oct 2013The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
