You are bidding on what may be the very nicest Grand Wagoneer available!

***I have just learned through Ebay's VIN check that this vehicle shows a Salvage branding on the title at some point.  The GA title I received was clear and the Michigan Title I hold is CLEAR (see the pic).  I believe in full disclosure and am now sadly re-listing with a Salvage title.  Undeserving of such a fine example.  However, I stand by the description below and still hold that you will not find a nicer Wagoneer.

Shipping is Free, up to $700, if you purchase it for my very reasonable "buy it now" price

*As a perfectionist and an engineer, I work hard to only acquire the best vehicles for my personal use and then continue to work hard to maintain their level of perfection.  This Wagoneer is no different.  I believe in a full disclosure approach to selling such that you can be the most comfortable in your remote purchase.  See the many photos.  Check out the videos where I point out all of the flaws that are known to me.  No Disappointments!

Body:
The body is in great condition.  It has been repainted the original color at some point.  There is no rust.  There is absolutely no sign of damage or accidents that I can find or am aware of.  With the exception of the tailgate, all the panels and glass look to be original. See the video where I walk around the body and point out the known flaws. Here's the link to the Video: http://youtu.be/iWv_JL7fqE0

Interior:
The interior is in amazing condition!  Unbelievable for a vehicle that is 25 years old. The Oxblood leather is near perfect. The door panels are flawless.  Very original. It is clear that this wagoneer has always lived a pampered life.  The passenger power windows are slow but work best from their respective door switched.  See the video where I show a few areas for improvement.

Powertrain:
I've gone through the original AMC 360 V8 and have replaced everything wearable: Water pump, oil pump(with mid-plate), alternator, bearings, rings, gaskets, seals, cam, upgrade to electric fuel pump, etc, etc. I've upgraded the cooling system with a custom aluminum radiator and a large oil-cooler. 
I've replaced all of the emission controls including the cat.  It has a brand new smog pump that is installed but not hooked up.  It has not passed California smog, but I see no reason that it won't be able to. 
The 4wd works perfectly.  
I've re-leveled the suspension to sit more appropriately for a classic SUV.  There are new shock absorbers
*Flaw: Despite all my careful efforts, the motor occasionally drips oil. Not a puddle, just 1 or 2 drips while parked.   I haven't had time to chase it down, but It seems to be coming from the back of a valve cover.  Not a big deal for most, but disappointing for me. My apologies.  Additionally, it shall be known that while the tires have a lot of tread left roll smoothly and quietly, they are more than 10yrs old, and should be replaced.


History:
I found this Jeep in Georgia and bought it for summer use only to pull the family boat back in Michigan.  The seller I bought it from told me that it has always belong to people in his neighborhood.  After moving to California, realizing that I no longer use it, I brought it out here to get it ready to sale. The Michigan title is CLEAR and in hand - see the pic. 

All the original pieces from which I've upgraded come with Jeep: Original radiator, front leafs, and valve covers, etc.  Also included is a nice cover and a service manual.

I have more pictures of the underside of the doors, and pictures of each panel if you'd like to see more.

The winner of the this auction is going to love this Wagoneer!

The future's electric — but the present is peak gasoline. Burn some rubber! Do donuts!

Wed, Jun 23 2021

I vividly remember the year 1993 as a teenager looking forward to getting my driver’s license, longingly staring into Pontiac dealerships at every opportunity for a chance to see the brand-new fourth-generation Firebird and Trans Am. Back then, 275 horsepower, courtesy of GMÂ’s LT1 5.7-liter V8 engine, was breathtaking. A few years later, when Ram Air induction systems freed up enough fresh air to boost power over 300 ponies, I figured we were right back where my fatherÂ’s generation left off when the seminal muscle car era ended around the year 1974. It couldn't get any better than that. I was wrong. Horsepower continued climbing, prices remained within reach of the average new-car buyer looking for cheap performance, and a whole new level of muscular magnitude continued widening eyes of automotive enthusiasts all across the United States. It was all ushered in by cheap gasoline prices. And as much as petrolheads bemoan the coming wave of electric vehicles, perhaps instead now would be a good time for critics to sit back and enjoy the current and likely final wave of internal combustion. Today, itÂ’s easier than ever to park an overpowered rear-wheel-drive super coupe or sedan in your driveway. Your nearest Chevy dealership will happily sell you a Camaro with as much as 650 horsepower. Not enough? Take a gander at the Ford showroom and youÂ’ll find a herd of Mustangs up to 760 ponies. Or if nothing but the most powerful will do, waltz on over to the truly combustion-obsessed sales team of a Dodge dealer and relish in the glory of a 797-hp Charger or 807-hp Challenger. Want some more luxury to go with your overgrown stable of horses? Try Cadillac, where you'll find a 668-horsepower CT5-V Blackwing. You could instead choose to wrap that huffin' and chuggin' V8 in an SUV. Or go really off the rails and buy a Ram TRX or Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 and hit the dunes after a quick stop at the drag strip. Go pump some gas. Burn a little rubber. Do donuts! There is nothing but your pocketbook keeping you from buying the V8-powered car of your dreams. Yes, just about every major automaker in the world has halted development of future internal combustion engines in favor of gaining expertise in batteries and electric motors. No, that doesnÂ’t mean that gasoline is going extinct. There are going to be gas stations dotting American cities and highways for the rest of our lifetimes.
