My sales person said that it was shipped to them to be delivered to the local Chrysler plant for a full build evaluation. Most likely, it will be driven by one of the higher ups at the plant, just what I need to see running around town, driving me NUTS!
You are correct. The code on the window sticker above the destination charge indicates that it is a corporate vehicle - hence why it shows sold to "FCA", safe to say it will go to a plant manager. The dealership is simply handling the delivery as a courtesy. It would appear that it's one of the first production builds being that the VIN ends in 521 and the first 500 (roughly) were not built for retail.
Cool info on the vin#, I never knew that.
and you JUST know, there's SOMEONE:
Eagle has landed!
Jack Wolf C/J/D/R in Belvidere, IL
is my hometown dealer and the place I plan to purchase my Gladiator. They have a black Rubicon on their showroom floor right now. This is the same one I posted about possibly being a $68k government vehicle, this past Monday. I was misinformed but got to be there Tuesday morning to see this beauty roll off the truck! It’s supposed to go to the local assembly plant for evaluation but I call BS and say they are gunna sell it. We will see. If your looking for one to see, look not further just go for a ride and tell them I sent ya!
Hey TommyBoy cool find. I am just wondering what it is that Jeep has wrapped up and sitting in the back seat. Is that the freedom panels bag? Have never seen that bag and I know that a lot of people on this forum have wondered where and how they could stow their freedom panels when they had them removed. We all know that they will never fit behind the back seats, just way too big. So I think it would be best and safest to put them in the bags that come with the truck and then put them in the bed under the “ton oh” cover as some would pronounce it. Is this that bag? Or did you see the bag in the bed?
I wonder if that's "to be sold" to customers like you and me.... or like this one... already sold, just passing through a dealership as the closest delivery point....
The bag in the back seat were molded floor liners similar to weathertech mats. The sold top is in there but was sitting on the floor. Didn’t see anything for it though.Hey TommyBoy cool find.

And did you get any good pictures of the insulated roof? I know that some here were wondering if it will be worth the money and if it will help much. Did not see much insulation on the front freedom panels and really could not see what the back seat roof area insulation looked like.
Oh and stupid question but did you ask them to call you if FCA decides to let them sell it after all?
That looks fantastic! The stock tires look pretty good on it!Here she is, all cleaned up!
Interesting...
I've bought and sold many cars and motorcycles - oh and bicycles, on craigslist. I guess it depends on your area.
