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. |

FCA inline-six rumored to be real, headed for Jeep Wagoneer
Thu, Dec 20 2018In September, Allpar reported that that clues being dropped at Fiat- Chrysler headquarters, in the carmaker's factories, and on engineer resumes pointed to the development of an inline six-cylinder engine. The site has just proclaimed the rumor is reality, writing that the straight-six, "turbocharged to meet or beat 5.7 Hemi power ratings, with a smoother torque curve, is on the way." The motor's first outing is expected to be either the next-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, debuting perhaps next year, or the Jeep Wagoneer, debuting in 2020 or 2021. "Tornado" is the purported codename for the power plant said to be just under three liters in displacement, expanding the family begun with the Global Medium Engine 2.0-liter turbo codenamed Hurricane. Engine bay constraints and a long use horizon mean engineers won't simply add two more cylinders to the GME, however. Allpar says the brief is to keep the Tornado GME-T6 — the alphanumeric for "turbocharged six" — no more than three inches longer than the Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder. That means "major design changes" that could include a space-saving head, more closely spaced cylinders, and no cylinder liners. An FCA division called Comau could be called on for its "SmartSpray" plasma lining technology. Allpar muses that the standard version of the engine for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram could get a single twin-scroll turbocharger. Performance trims for Alfa Romeo and Maserati could get different heads and maybe twin turbos, an SRT version might also get both those tweaks. History shows that the Italian versions would make changes to the block, as well. Even so, the Tornado would be less expensive than any Ferrari-supplied V6. A straight-six would put FCA in company with current adopters BMW and Mercedes-Benz, future users like Jaguar, and perhaps Aston Martin. The engine would span the widest range of use cases in the U.S. carmaker's portfolio, though. Potential applications include being a base engine for Ram trucks, serving double duty as a base engine and 5.7-liter Hemi replacement for the Dodge Charger and Challenger, working in the high-end Jeeps, and as a properly hot trim — with Ferrari-designed heads — in the luxury Italian sports cars. The Alfa Romeo Giulia begs for just such motivation to fill the gap between the 280-hp, $42,695 Ti Sport RWD and the 505-hp, $73,700 Giulia Quadrifoglio RWD. And a twin-turbo inline-six in a Maserati Alfieri would stack up nicely with the Germans.
Jeep spied testing new compact crossover
Tue, Nov 24 2015Jeep is preparing a new crossover to slot in between the Renegade and Cherokee. Spied here for the first time, the new model is expected to arrive sometime around the middle of the new year. And with it, FCA's off-road brand will finally have a successor for the Compass and Patriot. From the little bit we can project at this early stage, the new C-segment Jeep is expected to ride on a modified version of the platform that underpins the Renegade and Fiat 500X. Motivation is tipped to come from the company's new 2.0-liter turbocharged Hurricane inline-four mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. We expect it to come in front and all-wheel-drive versions. The big question mark at this point is what the vehicle will be called. As the replacement for both the Compass and the Patriot, this model could adopt either nameplate – or it could wear a new one entirely. If the Renegade and 500X are anything to go by, the new Jeep could be offered as a Fiat as well, which could easily be dubbed the 500XL. We'll have to wait and see, but in the meantime you can check out the prototype – albeit in camouflaged form – in the image gallery above. Related Video:
