1983 JEEP
WAGONEER LIMITED, ONE OF A KIND EXAMPLE OF A WELL MAINTAINED,
GARAGE KEPT, ONE OWNER WAGONEER IN EXCELLENT SHOWROOM CONDITION!!
With a production run spanning nearly 30 years from 1963 to 1991, the first-generation SJ Jeep Wagoneer was one of the longest-running vehicles in U.S. automotive history. When the Wagoneer was introduced, about the only four-wheel-drive vehicles you could buy were utilitarian with decidedly military roots. This all-new offering from Jeep was designed from the ground up to be comfortable and luxurious -- and was the forefather to the modern luxury SUV. This it was the most car-like 4x4 available and proved quite popular. This example, an exceptionally preserved 1983 Wagoneer Limited, is loaded to the hilt with factory options, including leather upholstery, six-way power seats, power windows, power door locks, air conditioning, leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel, extra-thick carpet, power brakes, power steering, automatic transmission, cruise control, alloy wheels and a roof rack. This vehicle has been meticulously maintained and loved over the years. Best of all, this Jeep has been a Southern California truck all of its life and is as sound as they get, with absolutely no rust! and no leaks. The Dark Navy Blue Metallic paint is glossy like the first day and shows beautifully, the wood grain applique down both sides is original and in very good condition. Clearly this truck has lived its whole life in a garage. Panels are straight with good gaps, chrome, trim and bumpers all excellent. The underside looks incredible. Rust free California vehicle. The original alloy wheels are in like-new condition and are wearing brand new correct white wall tires. It's hard to believe this truck's interior, a warm saddle color leather is 30 years old. The upholstery, carpet and door panels are all original and look brand new. The woodgrain trim on the dash and horn pad is in perfect condition. This Wagoneer still has its original stereo system -- in perfect condition, of course. Even the seatbelt retractors work as they should, and the belts themselves are showing little, if any, wear. Under the hood is an AMC 360 cubic inch V8 mated to a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. And since it's a Jeep, it has the Selec-Trac four-wheel-drive system, which allows the driver to select either high or low range with the flip of a switch on the dash. And in keeping with its luxury appointments, this 4x4 has self-locking front hubs. With only 148,000 original miles, this Jeep is barely broken in. In short, it's one of the best-preserved classic Wagoneer's around. It is being sold on a clean & clear California title. This is a great SUV that will make the perfect toy for a collector or to take to the mountains, to the beach or just out for a cruise. These vehicles are now classics that are getting increasingly hard to find! Get out and drive!! Please feel free to contact me via phone (858) 733 1030 or email me with any questions! I have a lot more pictures of the interior / exterior / additional vehicle information! History For
the 1980's new luxury editions named Custom Wagoneer and Wagoneer
Brougham were added, and Wagoneer Limited was substantially upgraded
with luxury equipment. Limited buyers got bucket seats with leather
trim, a center armrest, and unique door panels; leather-wrapped steering
wheel; extra thick carpeting; woodgrain overlay on the lower dash; wide
woodgrain side and rear; roofrack; bright drip rail overlay; aluminum
wheels (still 15 x 7); a tire upgrade; various moldings; standard air
conditioning; a retractable cargo cover; power windows and locks;
cruise; tilt wheel; FM stereo; the visibility group; electric remote
control mirrors; bumper guards; six-way power front seats; and a rear
window defogger. The Jeep Wagoneer was the first luxury 4x4, sold and produced through numerous marques from 1963 to 1991. A "sport utility vehicle" (SUV) for decades before the term was even coined, the 4WD Wagoneer saw only minor mechanical changes during its 28-year plus production run, the third longest in U.S. automotive history. Introduced as a successor to the Willys Jeep Station Wagon that
had been built since the end of World War II, the Wagoneer pioneered
the sport utility vehicle concept. In spite of its pickup truck chassis
and boxy shape it was more carlike than any 4x4 on the market. Compared
with offerings from General Motors, International Harvester, and Land Rover—
which were producing utilitarian work-oriented vehicles with spartan
truck-like interiors — the Wagoneer's luxury set it apart. Based on the Jeep SJ platform, the revolutionary Wagoneer sported an advanced overhead cam inline 6 cylinder,
and offered features unheard of at the time in any other mainstream 4WD
vehicle, such as an independent front suspension, power steering, and automatic transmission. From
its introduction in late 1962 as a 1963 model, until its cancellation
in 1991 (or 1992, depending on the source), the Jeep Wagoneer was one of
the few American vehicles that stayed in production for virtually 30
years. The Wag even managed to remain evergreen during its entire long
run. The Wagoneer made its debut seven years before Land Rover launched its Range Rover in Great Britain, and 24 years before that upscale marque appeared in the United States. It was succeeded by the Jeep Grand Cherokee. |

Jeep recalls 92k Grand Cherokee SUVs over electrical issue
Thu, 07 Nov 2013According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Chrysler is recalling 91,559 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2014 model year due to some serious electrical issues. All of the affected models were built between January 8 and August 20, 2013.
The NHTSA report states that, "Due to a disruption of computer communications and loose alternator ground wires, the affected vehicles may experience random illumination of multiple instrument cluster warning lights, loss of cluster illumination and loss of anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) function." The loss of ABS or ESC would greatly reduce a driver's ability to control the vehicle if things get squirrely, and since these failures would not be illuminated on the dashboard display, drivers would not be warned of the issue, increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall is expected to kick off sometime this month. Chrysler will notify affected Jeep owners and dealerships "will update the ABS and instrument cluster module software and tighten the alternator ground wire," according to NHTSA.
SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building
Wed, 31 Oct 2012After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
2014 Jeep Cherokee marketing launches with 'Built Free' commercial
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Now that the 2014 Cherokee is finally on its way to dealerships, Jeep is starting its marketing blitz for its new crossover, beginning with this 60-second TV spot, called Built Free, that premieres today. Set to a Bob Dylan recording, the ad spot discusses something we can all relate to - the feeling of being too busy and too cooped up with everyday tasks to really get out there and explore the world. But as Jeep says in the commercial, "You're still here. And you're still you. The horizons haven't gone anywhere."
Autoblog spoke to Kim Adams-House, head of marketing for the Jeep brand, who explained that this Built Free spot is "an anthemic piece" that "sparks the conversation" for the new Cherokee. As you'll notice, none of the new Jeep's features - its off-road systems, nine-speed automatic transmission, etc. - are mentioned in the ad, but Adams-House says that future marketing "will speak to more" of the CUV's highlights. Following this 60-second spot, 30-second commercials will launch that talk about some of the specific product features.
When asked if the Built Free campaign will include any throwbacks to the original Cherokee, Adams-House told Autoblog that while "we love that vehicle," the new spots are intended to carve out "a unique space for Cherokee in our product portfolio and marketplace." On that same note, don't expect any other Jeep vehicles to get the Built Free treatment. Adams-House said that while this ad "does resonate overall with the brand," it is solely intended to promote the new Cherokee.
