Radiator rotted out when purchased.
I scored a huge deal when I recently found this beauty. A 1985 Pioneer in mint condition. The body on this thing is impecable, front end feels better than my 2000 Ford, everything works well. I retired my 87 Cherokee that rotted all to hell, but the parts are all interchangable, short of the 85 being carburated, another bonus!!
Easy to work on, parts are "chunky" and easy to replace.
4 cyl 2.5L excellent engine.
I bought a jeep cherokee pioneer 1985 with 104,000 miles in pretty well condition for $800.oo right now I have 108,ooo miles on it the body has some rust, but other than that it looks pretty good for being about 20 years old. I've been takeing it in for miner repairs here and there and has been running better and better I think this AMC vehicle is a great buy!!!
