1978 Jeep Wagoneer, 401 V8, Factory Air, Auto, Cruise, Tilt, Factory tint, trailer tow package, crank windows. A really nice truck with zero mechanical issues, except gas gauge. The entire top half of truck from belt line up is original paint, below the stripe has been painted. I bought this truck from a Justin Rytel, 1420 SE Water Ave Portland, Oregon, hence this is an Oregon truck. If any of you fellow ebayer’s ever have the opportunity to deal with Mr. Rytel, don’t. He is a lying snake and almost everything he told me about this truck except for color was untrue. Anyway, after much repair, the truck is great. Runs like a brand new truck and looks great. Some not so good stuff; Someone did plastic repair on both lower rear quarters in the worse job ever but the good news is you can’t see it at all from the outside. The drivers rocker panel is starting to bubble, not bad but it’s there. The headliner is not good, needs replace. It’s up and intact but not at all attractive. As I mentioned the gas gauge does not work. Air works fine but is not really really cold. The good stuff; This truck runs, steers, stops, brand new. Plenty of power, all original interior in perfect shape. All glass perfect. Great unique piece, very yuppie cool. Call me anytime with any at all questions you may have, as I love to bullshit about old trucks. Billy 203 676-0890 For sale locally and I reserve the right to remove this listing at will. Yes there is a reserve and no I will not tell you what it is; this is an auction. $1000 deposit within 48 hours, balance within 5 days. Thanks for looking and good luck.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Happy 50th birthday, Jeep Wagoneer
Thu, 02 May 2013
The Wagoneer got the SUV on the radar of buyers looking for something capable, comfortable and rugged.
The Jeep Wagoneer was introduced 50 years ago, and it's that vehicle we have to thank for the herds of excellent crossovers and SUVs that make up our current automotive landscape. On a personal level, I have always loved the full-size Jeeps and their crisp Brooks Stevens styling, which aged well over their long tenure on the market. The SJs, as they're known among enthusiasts, were the Wagoneer and its two-door counterpart, the original Cherokee. The Wagoneers had become true luxury vehicles by the end of their run, which stretched form late 1962 as a '63 model all the way to 1991, when they were offered exclusively under the Grand Wagoneer nameplate.
2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
