This “woody” is a reliable daily driver. It required basic maintenance only and I have the records that document this. The motor starts easy and runs strong. I am willing to drive and deliver the limo anywhere in the continental U.S. for a charge of $2.75 per mile. Properly tuned this Jeep averages 12 MPG. This is one of the first 12 luxury SUV limos ever produced. They were featured in Time magazine, July 15, 1985.

 
Text from the article follows:
 
Last week in Denver, Auto Dealer Jerry Morris unveiled his own very different vision of automotive high life, American-style. Equipped with a bar and Baccarat crystal, trimmed with teak and priced at $50,000, Morris' showpiece is a 19-ft.-long Jeep station wagon. The dealer bills it as the world's first stretch limousine with four-wheel drive. Morris' theory is that off-road travel should be comfortable. Said he: "People have said to me, 'Wouldn't it be nice if there were a luxury car that could be used to go through the mountains in bad weather?' With this vehicle, if we have two feet of snow, you still won't be stranded."
The luxury car is a stretched version of American Motors' Grand Wagoneer, a favorite of skiers and suburbanites. The fancier touches include a built-in champagne bucket and an 8-in. color television, but for rugged back-country terrain, the four-wheel limo also features an electronic shock-absorption system. Morris expects to find buyers for his Jeep limo among oil-well owners and ski-tour operators.

This “Colorado Cadillac” is approximately 95% original as delivered from the coachbuilder. The original fog lights were replaced by 100 watt KC driving lights. The “wag-sag” common with all Wagoneers was remedied by professionally installing a 4” Skyjacker “Soft-Ride” suspension lift including 4 new spring packs with 9-way adjustable Rancho 9000x shocks. The vinyl top was replaced as necessary on all Wagoneer limos. This top needs replacing again. The high altitude sun was hard on it. Fore and aft of the stretched section, the truck is a stock, loaded 1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with working 4WD including High/Low range. The car is currently out-of-service and stored indoors.
 
The problems I am aware of are rust, scratches, dings, and common oil/fluid leaks. There is wear as the limo is 28 years old. We removed components of the A/C and Emissions Systems to improve fuel efficincy. The car rented for $85/hr. before it was garaged. The coach passed the Colorado Public Utilities safety and condition inspection required for professional use. No special license or insurance is required in Colorado to drive this car privately.
 
I have more information, statistics and history on these historic vehicles and will be happy to share it with the winning bidder. I can provide additional photos of cosmetics of the car upon request.
 
If anyone knows the whereabouts of Ronald Reagan’s Grand Wagoneer limousine I’d be grateful for any information on how to contact the current owner.

Here's a link to a video I shot of another Stretch Jeep I recently sold.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Drivers' Notes Review | Capable, yet costly

Mon, May 14 2018

The 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is the refreshed version of a model that debuted back in 2014. It was a controversial model. Opinions were mixed on the styling — especially the front fascia — and some considered it an insult to the Cherokee name. Still, we liked that version so much we spent a full year with one. It proved to be a solid and reliable crossover that racked up more than 27,000 miles in just 12 months. This refreshed model occupies a strange place in Jeep's lineup. The Cherokee is positioned between both the Compass and Grand Cherokee, though it offers less interior space than either one of those. Pricing on the Cherokee falls right on top of those two models, too, meaning shoppers have to look hard to see what the best fit may be for them. The refreshed styling is certainly less polarizing, though it now means the Cherokee is less distinctive. This Trailhawk model is the midsize Cherokee's most rugged variant. It features a beefed-up suspension, more aggressive rubber, new front and rear bumpers, and an enhanced four-wheel drive system. Despite its car-based platform, the Cherokee Trailhawk is still plenty capable, but there is a price to pay for all that capability. Editor-in-chief Greg Migliore: I would not buy this Cherokee. With a sticker of more than 41 grand, it's too expensive. You can get pretty capable Wranglers and pretty nice Grand Cherokees for this price point. But, if you really love the Cherokee, this decked-out Trailhawk Elite is kinda awesome. You get all of the Trailhawk aesthetics and off-road prowess — you just have to pay for it. The Cherokee is in an interesting spot for Jeep. Even with the 2019 refresh, it's still fairly old, with most of the major elements dating to the 2014 relaunch of the Cherokee model. The Compass is arguably a better deal. It's newer in its lifecycle, starts at a lower price point and offers more cargo volume than the Cherokee. That being said, after rolling around town in the Cherokee for a couple nights, I'd probably buy one before I'd buy a Compass. It feels more substantial and more like a Jeep. I like the design. With the smoked grille and exterior trim, meaty wheels and flared fenders, this one looks especially sharp. Besides, the Compass' cargo volume advantage is less than 2 cubic feet.
