Is This old Jeep at Copart Worth Anything? Salvage Cars at Copart!

[@kevinallen8162]

I understand that the economics aren't likely there for the old Jeep Cherokee, but it would make for a series of episodes that I would certainly watch from beginning to end. The pre-2000 vehicles tend to hold the most interest for me.

[@dcpoolsvc]

As crazy as it is, I’d love to see both Jeeps. They’re something that I’d try to piddle with and bring back to life.

[@janicemurphy9051]

Yes Jeep 🚙

[@chrismclain8769]

The jeeps hold there value

[@stanggt84ss]

The Jeep 4.0 only had the head gasket issue for a year or 2 around 2001. There was one head design that cracked. If you see an 0331 casting number on the head, stay away. Otherwise they are incredibly reliable engines.

[@wolfhound4010]

I have owned many Jeeps. Grand Cherokee and Cherokee’s. 4.0 is the best engine Chrysler ever made. Never had any head gasket issues. My current Cherokee is a 91 with 228,000 miles on it. Best vehicles I have ever owned.

[@KSCuberOfficial]

I love the ZJs, I picked up a cherry high mileage 96 for $800 last year. Only a few hundred into it so far and it was one of my favorite buys so far. Needed a set of battery cables to sort electrical and needs some cosmetics, headliner, etc.

[@Ss010101]

The Jeep Cherokee sports (XJ) are loved as cheap off-roaders. They came as both 2wd and 4wd. I think they look good and I bet a 4wd one would do well on the channel. They look sweet with a lift and fat tires!

[@MaxTheUragi]

“Who’s gonna watch a Jeep? Nobody loves these things like I do” I absolutely feel ya man, my favorite car to work on and really just to look at is the XJ Cherokee, and people always say “it’s just an old Jeep” but there’s just something about them that attracts me.

[@chasepoodiack6819]

That S class is still a W222!! The new W223 came out in 2021!

[@DanT271]

I love the old-school Cherokees I would absolutely watch every video on bringing that Cherokee back to beautiful and running well And yes, I love the random walk arounds Pontiac Aztec? No thank you sorry Randy.

[@dustinwalker9468]

I was born in 92, and I love that body style jeep also. Would definitely love that content!

[@NoahClay6]

Another sweet video just as I finished the last one! There was a Saab 9-7X behind the grey Nissan Altima at 9:28 that you should take a look at Randy. Might be sweet to see that. The Grand Cherokee would be an interesting series to watch. If you ever got your hands on a VPG I would watch that any day. Yes the Matrix and Pontiac Vibe share the engine and mostly mechanical stuff. Love them both. The Mercedes was cool and maybe you should try your luck with the Cherokee sport.

[@robertselkirk674]

Randy; loved my Jeep ZJ 4.0L and wish I'd never given it away. !!!!!! Save it PLEASE. From an old man in London.

[@robertselkirk674]

But beware; the headlight glass falls off !!!!!!!!!!

[@survivetothrive21]

Just for future reference, 4WD was available on all Cherokees. Sport, limited, SE(base) classic, and country, which was the limited but in different years. That Cherokee is called the XJ. 84-2001. Shame it’s only 2WD. I had a 2 door sport with the 4.0 and 5 speed. Even had a factory optioned, rare, swing away exterior spare tire carrier. Absolutely loved that Jeep.

[@kc0lif]

awd

[@survivetothrive21]

@@kc0lif no. 4wd. There’s a transfer case called selec-trac available as an option thar had an auto 4wd setting, but it isn’t classified as AWD.

[@firewallsniper]

I would love to see this ZJ restored.

[@chrishewitt8287]

9:40 Red Mazdaspeed 3. Always a big fan of the hot hatchback. Turbo 4 cylinder making about 270hp.

[@americanrambler4972]

That XJ Cherokee is a gold mine. A guy with a rusted out XJ 4x4 could swap in the 4x4 parts and get back on the road. These are great platforms for 4x4 modifications and build your own projects. Someone will buy this one.

[@bpearr8266]

specs on the VPG if anyone is curious.. Engine options are a 3.7L cylcone v6, or a 4.6L modular v8. Paired to a 4 speed or 6 speed automatic. Also VPG stand for Vehicle Production Group, mv-1 meaning Mobility Vehicle 1

[@tdtvkc1]

Hi Randy, on the Jeeps only buy them if they are 4x4, the last Cherokee isn't I'm not sure about the Grand Cherokee but only buy that type of vehicle if it's a 4x4. 😀✌❤

[@davidstrock6493]

Randy, Please get the '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I would definitely watch. 👍

[@drewdaskievige754]

Thought VPG might be propane gas. Its actually Vehicle Production Group, for adding wheelchair mobility access. Made taxi cabs for wheelchair transportation.

[@tmoz1228]

Boys to men played over and over again on a over night field trip to raleigh NC. Everybody on the activity bus was singing it when i was in middle school as well!!!

[@clemmineslone1450]

I had the same model and color. Mine had the 318. I bought it right and sold It for a profit. A long time ago. Great vehicle.

[@trbstang]

Great to hear that they want to fix the Mustang! It is a special car and you are right about the cost vs repairs. Hopefully it turns out great if they do it, and you don't end up with a rejected repair.

[@wolfhound4010]

Most 4x4 Cherokees are on the fly 4WD. No hubs to lock in. My Cherokee is a 2 door sport with 4WD. 5 speed manual. Just love it.

[@cdoggyish]

VPG stands for Vehicle Production Group. They were based out of Miami, but used an old Hummer production line in Mishawaka Indiana. They used both Ford and GM parts, and produced handicap taxi's basically. 🚙🚖

[@Nicovb1984]

I love the Copart walk arounds .Wish we had one in south Africa.

[@markelliott8473]

I love Jeeps I hope you bring it to the channel 😄😄😄😄👍

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

All XJ’s are Cherokee’s. Sport models can be 2 or 4-wheel drive. I’ve had 3 Cherokee’s over the years. Two sports and a limited. All were 4x4. I miss them all. Great vehicles. Just rugged, dependable and easy/cheap to repair.

[@user-fb8lq5bt5s]

the jeep is definitely worth saving.

[@danwood586]

that 5 speed jeep would get fixed and become my favorite fishing camping rig. cheers randy your a great person!! enjoy you and mikes video's daily . cheers my friend

[@briankennedy1341]

I love that first generation Grand Cherokee

[@litz13]

Fixing that XJ is about 400 in parts and a couple hours of wrenching. The front bumper is metal, and it bent around the frame end. The airbags are another story, that's the most expensive part of the repair. 221k is barely broken in; I have 330k on mine.

[@thomasfletcher760]

Go after the jeep . The 4.0 is a good engine ( and really doesn't take much to make it a 4.6 stroker ) . The Cherokee , my brother had one with the manual transmission

[@zcomputermanz4177]

GET THE JEEP!

[@anthonysourdiff1835]

I love the old jeeps.

[@maverickflint1991]

Yes sir. I know you spend a lot of time there and you put great videos together.👍

[@root1911]

These wondering videos reminds me of my trips to the U pull it yards. You never know what you'll find.

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

Yep! I don’t know what they are worth in Oklahoma, but a decent 4x4 XJ(Cherokee) is worth at least 5k in Arizona.

[@francisandrzejewski1251]

Hey Randy 👋, I just wanted to touch on the "VPG", I live in Michigan and there is somebody around here that daily one of those. It's burgundy in color and looks pretty good

[@robertsleeman5121]

It would be great for that 96 jeep to come to the channel my dad had one b4 his passed now I have it and work it and it have 415,036 miles on it and still running.

[@tommyhall2768]

Randy ride one of your e bikes at the auction buddy

[@josephcentola8991]

Much love and support from Boston 🙏🏻 ❤

[@waynehollars5048]

That jeep grand Cherokee is beautiful you should buy it jeeps and honda are my favorites

[@TheFranaguayo]

Please bring the Grand Cherokee to the channel! Love those rigs!!!!

[@survivetothrive21]

BUY THAT GRAND CHEROKEE! 🤣. I’ve had a bunch of 4.0 Jeeps including one just like that. The 93-98 grand Cherokee is called a ZJ. There’s a massive following for the 90’s Jeeps. Even those grand Cherokees and regular cherokees. You’re making me wanna buy it to fix up to pull behind my motorhome lol

[@cameronschluchtner]

Oh please please PLEASE get a Jeep 4.0 on the channel. I love that engine. I have a 98' Cherokee with 334,000 miles on it and it just goes. They are the best vehicles out there. Have you had bad experiences with them with head gaskets? I had never heard that before

[@brendanhardwick5440]

Mobility ventures 1 is what those vans are called. its just like driving a E150 van. Supposedly its a ford motor and transmission and a chevy camaro rear end. Company out of florida produced those for awhile but i believe they stopped in 2016

[@JBenedict02]

The one I have as my profile picture is a 93 with almost 218k miles on her and she runs like a top still. Hasn't really let me down in the almost 4 years i've owned her.

[@Nolan-vn3vw]

Yes a jeep

[@rebeccahowington2703]

So I have a 95 ZJ Laredo which was a flood vehicle out of Richmond Va. after Hurricane Gaston in 2005. The original owner kept it in his back yard for 6 years until finally posting it for sale for "parts" in 2011. After some laughter, fun and games and a little bit of a dare the original owner said I could have it for $50 if I could get it out of his yard without a tow truck. Sooooo....lots of wd40 down the spark plug holes, new plugs, alot of new gas and what seemed like 50 cans of starting fluid that darn thing started and moved itself out to the street....barely. Fast forward 12 years it has Va. antique plates and starts faster and easier than anything I own. The 4.0 really is a masterpiece of an engine.

[@brianhayes7618]

Those Cherokees were tuff vehicle I had a 96 with the 4.0 treated me right

[@ThisandThatVideo]

XJs seem to be selling for premium the last few years - definitely worth grabbing if the price is right. I've always wanted one.

[@kevinwright1551]

Vary awesome selection indeed. Keep up the great work.

[@charliekretschmar2058]

Yes Randy you should get the Jeep and bring it to your videos I think that it will be very good for the videos Charlie kretschmar Phoenix Arizona

[@Oyvind88]

Bring the jeep to the channel🔥🔥

[@jameslovitt994]

Love the Jeep, the 1992 to 1998 ZJ's were awesome, my favorite vehicle I've ever owned was a '93 5.2 Laredo. The problem is, you could put a million dollars into it, and it'll still be a 25 year old, sub $2k at best, shitbox. '98 5.9 Limited or a Wagoneer GC, maybe, that thing is hammered. Clean XJ's are worth they're weight in gold.

[@devinwhitlock5918]

Hello friend Randy, remember the old school jeep pick up trucks???? , my family had one when i was in middle school back inthe middle 80's also we also had an old school jeep Cherokee from the 70_ and it was a manual transmission with grandma gears and i really loved that vehicle, hope to hear back from you soon thanks and may God bless you always my friend 🎉😂😅🤩🤩😵🥴😱🤑👻👾👽

[@arrievanrensburg8243]

See matts offroad recovery ,the banana,there is a cult following with these Jeeps.

[@TheJoeMB]

That S-Class is a W222 facelift 223 is a totally new design.

[@only_thee_ash_c7516]

Folks buy the Jeeps for the straight 6, they LOVE them!

[@haskellburks]

Good morning Randy. The 2016 BMW X3 is a good looking SUV. The Infiniti is a good looking car.

[@billt2520]

That 99 Cherokee is sought after especially with the manual transmission, passenger bag is easy to replace. Mine 99s went over 300k miles. Buy it, you can't go wrong.

[@wndr0412]

Purple jeep is a go.

[@michaelcoffey7362]

I like the Grand Cherokee 😀

[@thomaslibonati]

The S class you keep calling the W223 is actually the W222 facelift. The W223 is the car you looked at from MB Oklahoma City that was $80 something thousand.

[@beepbeepmichael]

That beautiful green on that Camaro is a rare color called Synergy Green. Same deal with Jessica’s mustang. Paint matching something like a door is a disaster

[@sethp1200]

Ya that 96 Cherokee would be cool to see more of for sure

[@johnwade3102]

Get the jeep!!! Would be great to see her running ! Please

[@KingHenryVR4]

Nice blue MITSUBISHI Lancer you sat your bag on near the beginning of the video in front of the hail damaged G37x, but looks like the front end was wrecked and laying on the inside plus it probably wasnt a EVO package.

[@treborrobinson8665]

Please show more wrecked car's 🚗 👍🏽

[@andrewmanning8263]

Next time you're there check out the red 350Z if you can! it was next to a Honda near the beginning of the row at the 9 minute mark

[@jeremyyarbrough6459]

Love how Randy always includes some nostalgia in his videos.

[@WildDigger]

The old school jeep grand cherokee is cool. The cherokee sport is nice but no 4x4 means it won't go for much.

[@thevacdude]

On the Grand Cherokee ZJ, there were two shades of purple, Wild berry was offered on the 1993-1996, deep amethyst on the 1997 and 1998.

[@bk_goatkim679]

Great cars! Keep it up randy love it!

[@maverickflint1991]

Thanks and love the walk arounds helps me to exercise.🙂👍

[@kenmiller5954]

the green jeep yes as long as the frame is not rusted through ist worht fixing the body high demnd on that body most jeeps before 2008

[@toberlorenz8784]

I think the old jeep could be interesting. I know, I'm weird, but I would watch it.

[@tinystar3010]

On that Mercedes, I don't remember every detail, but Tavarish did a face-lift on his to the headlights with the 3 running lights and according to what he said, it's a little more than headlights. Essentially it's the same identical car underneath, but face-lifted to look nicer mid-generation run. I believe he said it was headlights, grille, front bumper, rear taillights and maybe also rear bumper? And as you noticed too, the steering wheel. But both bumpers were just minor changes, things you'd be aware of fully if you owned and used the pre-face-lift daily long enough to know it like the back of your hand.

[@johnnysmile01]

That VPG looks so cool i like it a lot too bad this One wasn't the best but still a good looking wagon SUV, hope you can get the white Challenger, i think that Grand Cherokee if it have a working engine isn't that bad just a few tires and headlight would probably BE a good one maybe

[@malikdigger4544]

6:07 Thanks Randy for giving out that information about FMC vans thought there made by g foreign company like Fiat or something so Ford males them think I remember on ur channel too earlier in year

[@just4kicks950]

That sucks that Jessica's new mustang could be total. I hope they can repair the cars. Is her mustang a Bullitt? Cause that's what it reminds me of 🎬🚘🔥🔥👍
