We have up for sale today a clean and only two owner American icon with very low miles. There were only 14,117 Grand Wagoneers built for 1988. This iconic Wagoneer was only driven less than an average of 5000 miles a yr in the last 25 years. This truck is beautiful but not perfect and ready to go to another new owner. I will be selling all of my Grand Wagoneers in the next few months. The Wagoneer has always been known as the gold standard of the SUV market. Forbes Magazine recommends these trucks as one of their top 50 investments. Some might wonder why. The answer is only the fortunate ones were able to afford these beautiful pieces of art when new. This particular truck had a $28,803 sticker price when new in 1988 which equates out to $69,897 in 2014 according to the U.S. Dept of Labor and Earnings. There is no other ride like a Grand Wagoneer in the SUV marketplace. While this truck is not a museum piece, it is a beautiful piece for the collector or Jeep fan. Remember Jeep was the founder of the modern SUV. The Jeep Wagoneer is an iconic sports utility vehicle (SUV) launched by Kaiser-Jeep back in 1963. While many of us think Wrangler when we hear Jeep, the older generations had a very different image. When Jeep, then owned by American Motors, introduced the Cherokee in 1974, they did so as the less expensive, entry-level counterpart to the Wagoneer. In 1984 the Wagoneer became the Grand Wagoneer, to differentiate it from the Wagoneer with the all-new Cherokee body. Unfortunately, for fans of the line, at some point in 1991, the Grand Wagoneer became a luxury item, then indistinguishable from the modern Grand Cherokee, and then finally ceased all together in 1993 when no one wanted the smaller Grand Wagoneer. The Grand Wagoneer enjoyed one of the longest production runs of any vehicle. The powerful V8 engine and high towing capacity made the Grand Wagoneer popular among its many repeat buyers, and as of 1991, it was the longest domestically produced vehicle (29 years) on the same platform. The 1987-1991 models years "are considered the best of the breed and still have a loyal following among a select group".
Ok now to the details of this beauty:
Paint on the truck is brand new only three weeks old hasn't even been buffed yet, it will only look even better after buffing. It was repainted with the original Dover Grey Metallic, which is a truly beautiful paint in the sunlight, with all of the metallic shimmering. All the metallic colors are the same as if AMC had mixed the paint. All the wood paneling is new with only a couple small imperfections in the trim some warpage. There are a lot of Wagoneers on here for sale with redone wood-grain sides, but they are all too yellow or too red. This is your chance to buy one with the correct wood grain coloring thanks to the folks over at Teamgrandwagoneer. Along with the paint all the stainless trim was polished to a high shine as it was when new. This Wagoneer still retains the factory Marchal 850GT fog lamps, which are getting very hard to find especially in this condition.
The interior is all original as it was shipped other than speaker replacement. The original carpet is the ultra plush which is no longer available for sale. Lots of aftermarket companies sell stock carpet kits but they aren't anywhere close to stock. Therefore with minor imperfections in the cargo area and tailgate it looks better than what the aftermarket has to offer. Truck still retains the stock radio. The Jensen speakers were replaced with new speakers. No, this is not a booming stereo but it was never meant to be. The cordovan leather interior is in great shape and all original to the truck. There are no rips or tears in any of the seats. The Jeep will need a new headliner. As far as under the hood it retains mostly all the factory parts. Has just had a complete tune-up which includes carburetor rebuild, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, new Valvoline Maxlife 10-30 oil. New Amsoil transmission fluid and new filter. Both differentials have new Amsoil 75-90w severe gear oil. This truck was prepared for a possible long trip. All vacuum hoses that appeared dry or brittle where changed at the same time. This one includes all the factory emissions, most of these trucks for sale have had these removed. It's cheaper to tear out all the old emission stuff but not on this one it was replaced. This truck has spent its entire life in Virginia and North Carolina so it has never been exposed to huge amounts of road salt and sand. Truck has four brand new shocks. Tires on the truck have 90 percent tread and are the proper whitewalls. All grease fittings under the truck has been greased. So a list of work done in last two months: Paint, 3 base coat, 4 clear coat Window wipes Carb rebuilt
Spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor Rear window motor All new fluids New Mopar window regulators in all windows. This fine example of a Wagoneer is available for viewing and inspection at anytime. Is this a brand new Jeep? NO. Is this a piece of American history? Most definitely. It is 95 percent original and one of the cleanest close to originals left.
This is a very nice truck and deserves a good home. If you want a better truck go to Grandwagoneer.com and look at his trucks. Oh wait Norberts are priced between 80k and 175k. But wait then there is Leon at Wagonmasters.com. His are only currently price 38k to 120k. Both guys have nice nice trucks but this is a nice Grand Wagoneer too. Please if any questions feel free to ask. If you look at the last pictures they are of the other Grand Wagoneers I have sold on eBay. We take pride in our Jeeps as if they were all Ferraris. |

Project Trail Force Jeep Wrangler goes to SEMA, then to a lucky winner
Wed, Jul 1 2015Extreme Terrain is an aftermarket parts company focused on the Jeep Wrangler. Partly just because it's a really cool thing to do, and probably having something to do with Jeep's upcoming 75th anniversary, Extreme Terrain found some dance partners to help work up a special 2015 Wrangler Rubicon that it will show off at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler, PA, then at SEMA in November, where it will be given away. Extreme worked with Barricade Off-Road and Kevin Tetz from the Spike show Trucks! to build the Wrangler it calls Project Trail Force. There is more than $24,000 worth of aftermarket gear on it, starting with the Ripp centrifugal supercharger that pumps an additional 140 horsepower into the 3.6-liter V6. It's got a 3.5-inch lift kit from Rock Krawler, Dana 44 axles strung between 37-inch BFG tires, Barricade bumpers, a 9,500-pound winch, fender flares, rock sliders, a 50-inch LED light bar above the windshield, LED spotlights on the A-pillars, and seven-inch KC Hilites headlights. Rugged Ridge worked over the inside with upgrades like all-terrain floor and cargo liners, plus seat covers, and a new navigation system with a back-up camera. If you want to win it, you can enter the contest at Extreme Terrain once every week until Oct. 23. The winner gets flown to SEMA to have Kevin Tetz hand the keys over. If you just want to see it, you can head to PA for that heritage festival. The Project Trail Force will also lead a Jeep parade that could set a Guinness World Record. The press release below has a lot more info on the build. Good luck. EXTREMETERRAIN AND BARRICADE OFF-ROAD TO UNVEIL THEIR FULLY-BUILT 2015 JEEP WRANGLER AT BANTAM JEEP FESTIVAL ExtremeTerrain.com and Barricade Off-Road teamed up to build a $73,000+ 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to be given away to a lucky winner at the 2015 SEMA Show • Giveaway Link: http://www.extremeterrain.com/jeep-wrangler-project-trailforce-giveaway.html • Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsO6fxVq6kI MALVERN, Pa. (June 12, 2015) – ExtremeTerrain, a leader in providing aftermarket Jeep Wrangler parts, along with rugged, enthusiast-driven Jeep Wrangler aftermarket armor and accessories manufacturer Barricade Off-Road, today unveiled a fully-built 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon dubbed Project Trail Force at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler, PA.
UAW papers reveal release dates for new Dodge, Jeep and Ram models
Fri, Dec 6 2019Documents published by the United Auto Workers union reveal key information about some of the products Dodge, Jeep and Ram will release during the early 2020s. All three brands will try to capitalize on the growing demand for trucks and SUVs in the United States. The agreement between the UAW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) outlines what the period between 2019 and 2023 will look like from an employee's vantage point. The $4.5 billion factory the automaker is building in Detroit will begin manufacturing a three-row Jeep model in 2020, and it will add the next-generation Grand Cherokee to its roster the following year, according to CarScoops. The new Grand Cherokee will also roll out of the Jefferson North facility that makes the current model scheduled to retire shortly before its successor arrives. The Dodge Durango will continue to be built there, and the UAW papers mention a mild-hybrid variant of the SUV due out before the end of 2020. Two body-on-frame Jeep models tentatively scheduled to revive the heritage-laced Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer nameplates will break cover in 2021. They will be built alongside Ram pickups at the Warren Truck plant, and odds are the three models will share several components under the sheetmetal. Adding the two Jeep models is expected to create 1,400 jobs, FCA predicted. Speaking of Ram, the high-performance TRX model (pictured) aimed at the Ford F-150 Raptor's jugular is penciled in for a 2020 launch. The concept that previewed the model made its debut in 2016, so it's reasonable to assume it will have changed considerably by the time it reaches showrooms. It will be based on the newest variant of the 1500, not on the last-generation model still sold as the Classic. What won't change is the supercharged, 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 between its fenders. The plug-in hybrid Wrangler remains on track for a 2020 launch. The Cherokee will continue to come out of Belvedere Assembly in Illinois, but the UAW's documents mention "fresh models / features" off of its unibody platform. Whether that means new trim levels or additional body styles remains to be seen, but it sounds like something new and Cherokee-related is around the corner. The ancient Dodge Journey shares at least one thing with the beater you drove in high school: a four-speed automatic transmission. The gearbox is finally on its way out, according to the UAW, and the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that powers the entry-level model isn't long for this world, either.
Jeep: Beautiful Lands
Mon, Feb 2 2015Jeep emphasized the global nature of its all-new Renegade in a 90-second spot during the 2015 Super Bowl. Starting out in America, and with This Land is Your Land playing in the background, the spot splices images of the all-new Renegade with scenery from across the United States. As a global product and the first Jeep built outside the US, though, the spot quickly moves beyond America's borders, showing Renegades, people and scenery from around the globe. As for the Renegade, you can read all about it in our First Drive.
