1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer: 39,000 Original Mile Local Santa Barbara, Ca Example on 2040-cars
Santa Barbara, California, United States
Offered for sale is our astonishingly original 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer that has accrued a mere 39,000 original miles from new during its extraordinarily well-cared-for life. Finished in its factory correct Baltic Blue Metallic over a Sand interior, the car is exceptionally original and well preserved, making this an incredible opportunity to acquire a truly collectible American icon and the final production run, “Best of the Breed” example. We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to purchase this Jeep from its passionate local Santa Barbara, CA owner. For the last decade this Jeep has seen only occasional use, always garaged and carefully maintained and used only as a seasonal beach cruiser during the summer months. It has been professionally serviced regularly throughout its life and recently received a full engine, suspension and transmission service. The previous owner has completed over $6,000 in preventive maintenance over the past few years through a local Santa Barbara shop. This is an absolutely remarkable original Grand Wagoneer that should command the attention of any serious collector or enthusiast. This spectacular Grand Wagoneer has certainly stood the test of time. The paint retains incredible depth and luster, showing only the most negligible of imperfections, and the body exhibits perfect panel fit and consistency throughout. This car has been consistently detailed on a weekly basis with fastidious care and attention. Every aspect of the car shows this attention to detail. The chrome, the glass, and the rubber are all in excellent original condition and the original wheels are nearly flawless, wrapped in tires with plenty of remaining tread. The completely original interior is absolutely beautiful. The original seats are nearly brand new, the carpets have been incredibly well preserved, the headliner is like new, the dash is pristine without cracking, fading, or warping, and the instruments and trim are excellent. The car has un upgraded radio, but its original and fully functional radio unit will be included with the car. It is obvious that this Jeep has been under the proud and careful ownership of true Wagoneer enthusiasts. After twenty-four careful years on the road this Grand Wagoneer is in exceptional mechanical order. The engine is incredibly strong with even compression and the 3-speed gearbox is without fault. The car drives straight and true, and brakes and handling are all as they should be. As previously mentioned, the Jeep has gone through a recent comprehensive service and has benefited from years of preventive maintenance and care irregardless of cost. The 4WD system was also serviced and had its fluids replaced. Consequently, the ride quality and performance are what one would expect from an extremely well-maintained, 39,000 original mile car. The Wagoneer had one of the longest production runs in US history, spanning 28 years under license of three different manufacturers. Chrysler bought the rights to Jeep in 1987 and set about making a few minor changes to the Wagoneer, refining the exterior and addressing some known faults of the car, prompting new branding as the “Grand” Wagoneer. The 1987 plus model year Grand Wagoneers, received improved wood siding, modernized aluminum wheels and two stage base coat/clear coat paint finish. In 1989 the Grand Wagoneer received a few more upgrades to keep it competitive with its new competitor, the Grand Cherokee. These final three production years received a new A/C compressor, rear wiper assembly and an overhead console with compass and temperature gauges. The changes made to these 1989-1991 model year Grand Wagoneers and the resulting strong sales numbers further a legacy that solidified the Wagoneers place in automotive history. These examples are known as “the best of the breed”, not because of Chrysler’s marketing, but their high production quality, classic styling and strong mechanicals have caused Jeep enthusiasts to bestow them with that honor. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire what is arguably one of the finest original examples of a quickly appreciating icon. Finding them in this condition, especially unrestored, is becoming virtually impossible, driving values to levels that were never expected and yet completely understandable from a collector’s perspective. Whether this stellar example is to be used as a more frequent driver or as a fun alternative asset in a serious collection, if you’re in the market for an exceptional Grand Wagoneer, it deserves your serious consideration. We want this
car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and answer any
questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557.

Radical 2016 Jeep Wrangler suggested by job listings?
Fri, 31 May 2013With most inside the industry expecting the next-generation Jeep Wrangler to arrive for the 2016 model year, it makes sense that the automaker would be looking for some choice candidates to to fill program openings as the off-roader goes through its development. A recent ad on Chryslercareers.com suggests to some that the lightweight Wrangler Stitch Concept, revealed just two months ago and shown above, provides some clues about the off-road icon's next iteration.
According to Automotive News, the job descriptions - which don't name the model specifically - hint that the next-generation Wrangler will benefit from a serious diet. The ads appear to seek those familiar with advanced high-strength steels, hinting that lightweight aluminum body panels may appear on the 4x4. In addition, there are suggestions that Jeep may fit the Wrangler replacement with air suspension, as seen on the Ram and Grand Cherokee, to retain ample off-road clearance yet lower that chassis to improve aerodynamics at highway speeds. The job postings reportedly also lend credence to the idea of a diesel Wrangler.
It seems every bit of the next-generation Wrangler is up for review, as it will be the first time this iconic model is redesigned under Fiat ownership. Questions remain whether or not the Jeep will retain its clip-down hood, easy-to-remove door pins and folding front windshield - loyalists expect them, but fuel economy and safety standards may crimp their cases for survival.
Jeep Wrangler Polar Edition coming to America
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Jeep originally took the wraps off its Polar Edition Wrangler at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and at the time, we figured this would be a Europe-only affair. (Perfectly fine, since we US customers haven't exactly been lacking special edition Wrangler models over the years.) But now, and as Jeep says, just in time for winter, the automaker has announced that the ice cold Wrangler will be hitting North American showrooms in November.
Based on the Wrangler Sahara model, the Polar Edition can be had in either two- or four-door body styles, with a unique Hydro Blue paint job as the featured color. (Buyers can also opt for less-special Billet Silver and Bright White hues.) Other exterior enhancements include a body-colored hardtop, 18-inch gloss black wheels, the Powerdome (power bulge) hood, and unique decals all around the body.
But the Polar Edition isn't just about some paint and stickers. Jeep has fitted this Wrangler with a Dana 30 front axle and Dan 44 rear axle, as well as the Trac-Lok anti-spin electronic rear differential. Like all US-spec Wranglers, the Polar Edition uses Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, producing 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both a six-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmission are available.
Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
