1984 Wagon daily driver, 'Zoro II'
« on: December 09, 2013, 07:03:09 PM »
Seeing if there's any interest in my '84 Wagon. Starts up and runs every single time and will reliably get you anywhere you need to go. Fuel mileage is around 24MPG/HWY and 20 in town. It's been my DD for 4 years and has never left me stranded. It's just time for me to get something built in this century. Sold new @ Bundy AMC and lived on the Western Slope of Colorado from 1985-2010, it's been well cared for over the years.

Currently registered and inspected in NY. Never seen a NY winter, it's been stored in the garage.

It's had a BUNCH of work done to it
Engine rebuilt with less than 100K
Transfer case chain done around the same time as the engine along with the starter and alternator
Paint is recent within the past 6 years
4WD works
215/75/15 tires now but will clear 235's
AC has been converted to R134a and is cold
Intact fan shroud
Master cylinder replaced
Carb (BBD) replaced
NO BAD RUST
Good interior

Within the past month I've done springs, shocks, bushings, ball joints, CV shafts, LF wheel bearings, brake pads, brake shoes with hardware and wheel cylinders, gasket for aluminum valve cover, and replaced some hoses.

In the past year it's had belts, water pump, thermostat, upper radiator hose, lower radiator hose, thermostat housing, fan clutch, PS door regulator, NSS, starter solenoid, battery, plugs, wires, cap & rotor, Idler Pulley, front DS rebuilt. There's a bunch of other things that don't come to mind at this moment.

Only a couple of small issues with the car. I had the windshield replaced but they didn't seal it right so it leaks on the passenger side when it rains hard. Due to the leak there is a small hole in the passenger side front floorboard but it's the only rust on the entire car. Headliner sags. Emission Maint light is on when the car is off but not when it runs, it's just a nuisance really.





Asking $3,ooo.

Oops. Binghamton, NY. It's been a great car for me, very reliable and every time I go anywhere people come out of the woodwork to ask me about it.

Hi, can you post any pics of the engine compartment, chassis and interior? If it is easier to send them to an email address let me know and I'll give you mine. I would have been a little quicker on the response, but with the holidays you know.  Thank you.

The car is still available. Just had a complete wheel alignment done @ Sear's and it's now sitting on 235/75/R15's. Drives like a newish 30 year old car. Will be getting new swaybar endlinks in the next week or two.

Yup. These photos were taken before I redid the valve cover gasket.





Up close shot of one of the new CV shafts that were installed last week.



Other suspension goodies that are installed but not even a month old



Headliner sags pretty good. Stock visors were replaced with a set from an '00 XJ.






It's clean enough to eat off, once the dirts washed away. These were taken before I did the suspension

Thanks. You're down towards Philly, right? Was down that way back in July or August with this Eagle. Did a turn and burn to the Jersey shore and back totaling over 550 miles in one day without missing a beat. 24MPG round trip and COLD AC.

You know you want it :p

Bump.

Might consider trading for an FSJ of comparable mechanical shape.
