Description of 1974 Jeep Wagoneer 4 Door Wagon

STARTING BID IS LESS THAN HALF THE LOW RETAIL CURRENT NADA BOOK VALUE!!Here is an extremely rare factory 4V 401 equippedproject 1974 Jeep Custom Wagoneer. Yes, this is the same legendary engine that powered the AMC Javelin AMX from 1971-1974! This Jeep Wagoneer originally came with the GM turbo 400 automatic transmission and Quadra Trac thatare now missing. This is a numbers matching engine vehicle. Clear standard CO title. The cowl tag, and the cab VIN tag along with the VIN on the title all show the same VIN. AMC did NOT stamp partial VIN's on their engine blocks and instead used an aluminum tag screwed onto the passenger side valve cover. These were easily lost through time. This vehicle has its original tag still in place. It shows: 701Z02 which decodes to mean: 1974-January-401 engine-2nd day of January. The cab VIN tag shows a build date of January, 1974 which coincides with the valve cover tag. AMC blocks were cast with the engine displacement size in large numbers between the freeze plugs and behind the motor mounts. The 401 casting numbers are plainly visible (last photo). This vehicle came from AZ, then to (dry) southern Archuleta County, CO and then to (also dry) Delta, CO in 1999, and that explains why it is almost rust free. A little bubbling around the right rear wheel opening that could be welded up and ground down with out having to cut it out. Frame, floor pans, door bottoms, rockers, hood, rear hatch, firewall, cowl, etc all look to be rust free and dent free. All glass except the windshield (available online for $350) are very nice and are factory tinted for the A/C. Has been repainted on the outside obviously as it was originally Fairway Green with green interior which is all still original. It came with 4V 401, automatic, tilt steering, power steering, A/C, cruise control, power front disc brakes (still has its original calipers!), AM radio, clock, roof rack, leather wrapped steering wheel, and bucket seats. Someone evidently had an issue with the ignition switch in the column as it is missing so I have no keys to start it. Amny mid year tilt steering column ignition switch will fit.The correct 4V Motorcraft 4300 carb is currently not installed correctly and not hooked to linkage or hoses as it was taken out previously for rebuild but never got rebuilt. It has the AMC tag and is in fantastic condition as it was stored in a home. The engine does turn by hand. I have the original drive shaft and transmission cross member. All grill, lenses, chrome, and stainless are in good shape. Needs an antenna. Has good BFG tires all around. The vinyl wood grain decal that runs laterally between the trim strips is availableby a vendor here on EBay (item #223631581228).The engine alone is worth at least $4,000. Look around....these are almost non existent. They are the next rising star ....can you imagine a 1974 Blazer (350 was biggest) or Bronco (302 was biggest) with a 4V 400+ c.i. engine from the factory???!!! YOU will be the only one at nearly any Mopar or Jeep show with one of these!!
