Selling "Root Beer" my father's 1983 Jeep Cherokee Widetrack with rebuilt 360 engine, 727 auto. 3 spd. trans, runs,drives, and sounds good! This is the last year of the FSJ Cherokees. Offenhauser intake manifold. Last year this Cherokee made over a 800 mile roundtrip with no problems other than many stops for gas! The odometer reads 218,308 miles. I do not have documentation, but there is not even 5K miles on the engine since it has been rebuilt. The transmission was rebuilt and is very strong. The 4 wheel drive works just fine as well. There is a locker in the front axle. I do not know what brand. The rear axle has a limited slip. BJ's Offroad bumpers and lift with 35" tires. All glass and headliner is good. Electric windows and door locks all work including the rear glass window. Light surface rust on the original paint therefore the Rustoluem primer racing strips. If I was going to keep this I would remove the primer and clear coat the entire car. The patina on this Jeep is so cool. In my opinion it would be better than repainting, but that is up to you! Other than surface rust no body rust not even in the metal fender flares. The floors and frame are solid. The clips on the turn signals are broken and the lamp is kind of just sitting in the opening. Also the grill is a little loose, but nothing is broken on the grill itself. Just needs a little work to get it grill tight. The seat belt receptacle on the driver's side is not working. The AC is not hooked up, but many of the parts are included. It does not have a radio. Not sure of the entire history of this Jeep, but it apparently has lived its life in the south. My father has had it for about 3 years and a friend of the family had it for about 5 years before that and he did the lift, bumpers, tires, engine, and transmission rebuild. Not too many survivors like this out there. These Cherokees are getting more difficult to find in this kind of driver condition. Would not take much to make this Jeep very nice! Or drive it like it is. It gets attention everywhere! Clear Texas title. Sold "AS IS WHERE IS". Will assist with your shipping arrangements. Please contact me with any questions about shipping or the Jeep itself prior to auction ending. The Jeep is located in Edgewood, TX which is about 60 miles east of Dallas, TX. You could drive this thing home it is that reliable. Thank you for looking at this fine piece of American steel!
