1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, New Paint, Only 128k, No Reserve, Beautiful Condition on 2040-cars
Chester, Virginia, United States
|
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. |

Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot boards meet to finalize merger
Tue, Dec 17 2019MILAN/PARIS — The boards of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot will meet separately on Tuesday to discuss finalizing an initial agreement for a $50 billion merger to create the world's number four carmaker, sources said. A source close to FCA said the two companies could announce the signing of a binding memorandum early on Wednesday, followed by a conference call to explain further details later in the day. The two mid-sized carmakers announced plans six weeks ago for a tie-up to help them deal with big challenges in the industry, including a global demand downturn and the need to develop costly cleaner cars to meet looming anti-pollution rules. Ahead of the meetings, entities representing the Peugeot family, Etablissements Peugeot Freres (EPF) and FFP, unanimously approved a proposed memorandum of understanding for the planned merger, a source familiar with the situation said. FCA and PSA have said they would seek to finalize a deal by year-end to create a group with 8.7 million in annual vehicle sales. That would put it fourth globally behind Volkswagen, Toyota and the Renault-Nissan alliance. PSA's Carlos Tavares will be chief executive and FCA's John Elkann — the scion of Italy's Agnelli family, which controls FCA through their holding company Exor — chairman of the combined company. The group will include the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Peugeot, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, allowing it to serve mass and premium passenger car markets as well as those for trucks and light commercial vehicles.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

Stellantis reports surprising 2020 results, is 'off to a flying start'
Wed, Mar 3 2021MILAN — Low global car inventories and cost cuts should boost Stellantis's profit margins this year, though a shortage of semiconductors and investments in electric vehicles could weigh on results, the newly-formed automaker said on Wednesday. The forecast came as Stellantis, created by the January merger of Peugeot-maker PSA and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), reported better-than-expected results for 2020 that sent its shares up around 3% in morning trading. "Stellantis gets off to a flying start and is fully focused on achieving the full promised synergies (from the merger)," Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said in a statement. Stellantis is the world's fourth largest carmaker, with 14 brands including Fiat, Peugeot, Opel, Jeep, Ram and Maserati. It said 2021 results should be helped by three new high-margin Jeep vehicles in North America and a strong pricing environment there. The U.S. market has driven profits for years at FCA and starts off as the strongest part of Stellantis. The group's guidance assumes no more significant lockdowns caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which shuttered auto plants around the world last spring. Stellantis should also get a lift as its starts to implement a plan aimed at delivering over 5 billion euros a year in savings, without closing any plants. Tavares has also pledged not to cut jobs. But a pandemic-related global shortage of semiconductors, used for everything from maximizing engine fuel economy to driver-assistance features, could hurt business. Auto industry executives have said the shortage should ease by the second half of 2021. Stellantis said its "electrification offensive" could also weigh on results this year. Automakers are racing to develop electric vehicles to meet tighter CO2 emissions targets in Europe and this week Volvo joined a growing number of carmakers aiming for a fully-electric line-up by 2030. Stellantis plans to have fully-electric or hybrid versions of all of its vehicles available in Europe by 2025, broadly in line with plans at top rivals such as Volkswagen and Renault-Nissan, although Stellantis has further to go to meet that goal. The carmaker is targeting an adjusted operating profit margin of 5.5%-7.5% this year. That compares with a 5.3% aggregated margin last year: 4.3% at FCA and 7.1% at PSA excluding a controlling stake in parts maker Faurecia, which is set to be spun-off from Stellantis shortly.
