Hi Guys,
Been very busy on the 2nd Edition of (dare I say it in a Jeep forum)
International Scout Encyclopedia
Most everything I learned was place into two articles, one in
Four Wheeler magazine (linked below) and the other in
Dispatcher, the awesome classic Jeep enthusiast magazine (
www.DispatcherMagazine.com). The
Dispatcher article in the Spring 2019 issue is more extensive because they allowed me much more space. I don't have permission to post a pdf of the
Dispatcher but I'll ask. I know you can go to the website and get back issues. Guillaume (mud89) here on the site helped a lot in gathering details. How in hell a Frenchman got so knowledgable on Jeeps, I will never know ( : < ) but I'm glad he is. Jeff Kobs at Wagoneer World helped me a lot too and was going to put a database online, but so far hasn't.
Based on your VIN, you have a '71 Super Custom 1414X Series 2, which was the last evolution of the Super Wagoneer concept that debuted for '66. We don't have the exact count of how many were made, but the current number is 228 based on serial numbers. They had some of the "legacy-luxo" stuff from the original Super but with influence of AMC, the highlight being AMC V8 power. Yours fits inside the known range (1414X-600001-600228) but we think there were more. Not many more, but more. The Series 1 Super Custom was the most numerous of the Super Wagoneer evolution, with 3,159 units known to have been produced (based on VIN counts, more are likely). The Series 2 Super Custom started production on March 6, 1971 and we know they were built sporadically until June.
If you have specific question, ask and I will try to answer.
