“So, in an effort to trim my fleet and to focus on the vehicles I truly love, like my 1979 Jeep Cherokee Golden Eagle and my 1991 Jeep Cherokee XJ, I threw my Jeep onto Craigslist for $500, and yesterday, a young man named Tevin picked it up.”

Once Tevin has yanked the engine, stripped out all useful parts, put it in a field and left it for five years, David Tracy will buy it back for $500, with the blown motor from the other Cherokee, figure out a way to get it to roll under its own power, and drive it to Moab in 2024. Beforehand though, he’ll post two…
DAVID TRACY SOLD A JEEP
WHY ISN’T THIS THE LEAD ON JALOPNIK
Congratulations on your journey, well done. On a side note, this pic reminds me of something.....hmmm
Not surprisingly, they’ve been approved for a loan on a new Maxima.
More like if he drove the $500 postal jeep in through the gates, they’d accuse him of trying to steal from the facility when he tried to drive back out.
About that much-malaigned 351M motor...sure, it’s only got like 150 horsepower - and engines like that pretty much gave the “malaise era” it’s name.
But here’s the thing...it’s got cylinder heads nearly identical to the 351 Cleveland, and those heads, even in late 1970s smog trim, flow enough air to make nearly 400…
Well nobody else has said it but I will. Not one, but TWO mouth breathers filming vertically. You know, if you stop posting these people might stop doing it. Rewarding bad behavior only encourages it.
Clearly the train’s fault for not yielding to an emergency vehicle.
I always like the 1978 Ford LTD II that I had in 1984. It was the intermediate version based on the Torino platform that replaced that nameplate. The LTD II was still huge and was nearly identical in most ways to the same year Thunderbirds and Cougars. I loved the long powerdome hood with bladed fenders. The car had…
Just a couple weeks ago I saw an older woman driving a worn, but not totally dilapidated, Ford Galaxie 500, from about 1974 or so. It was definitely not restored, and didn’t even have historic plates, although it more than qualified for them. That made me realize that this woman probably bought this car when she was…
If that LTD were anywhere near California, it would be taking up 22 feet of curb in front of my fucking house right now.
David I found one for you, you have a postal Jeep already so now take this FedEx “something”
So the junkyard informed you that Project POStal is not worthy of entering? That truly says something. . .

Your editors should stop enabling your habit, we allllll know this is really your yard Tracy.
You wander or you ask. Windy Hill in Minnesota used to be like this. I needed a Flexplate for a 428 Ford. Dude at the counter knew which side of the bus it was on and which seat it was in and described it to the yard guy. in a 400 Acre yard
Late 90s Marks
If I see a late 80s Ltd,
Thankfully I only buy things I see on David’s posts. My neighbors hate me and I have to walk everywhere, but the bank account is in pretty decent shape comparatively.
