(Please note this is a re-listing; the last auction was cleverly "won" by a zero-feedback buyer who boosted the bidding and never followed up with payment, so we're putting this one back on the block - pls be kind...)
1990 Jeep Wrangler
This was our Dad's Jeep. Since he passed almost 20 years ago it's remained an unregistered "club car", gently plying but a few miles of private roads in NE Pennsylvania...
Since retiring we finally had a chance to clean it up - including a set of new tires - and were hoping a simple tune-up would get it ready for another 20 years of service. Unfortunately, a detailed once-over revealed the following:
- 4.2L Straight-6 engine starts (willingly when warm, after several cranks when cold) and runs, but won't idle (stalls) due to a vacuum leak somewhere in theintake manifold- a bit of gear oil appears to be leaking through the right rear wheel - we hear this is a known axle issue on some early Wranglers?- front left caliper occasionally binds and overheats
All repairable (at moderate cost), but we no longer have the time or energy to do this work...
The body appears to be in very good condition, with no visible rust or dings - see photos, noting 3 holes in the driver's pillar which supported a manual spotlight that was removed
The frame - particularlywhen viewed through the wheel wells above the tires -looks solid and rust/rot free (save some minor surface oxidation - see pics). Not surprising as the Jeep has been garage-kept through my dad's and my ownership, and he was meticulous about keeping it all-over clean...
4 new General Grabber A/T tires (driven <200 miles)
Combined with a Very clean VIN report, it's gonna be a sweet ol' YJ once restored...
Thanks for looking!
