If you're over 40, you'll surely remember the original "King of the Big 4x4 Luxury Cruisers" before Cadillac, Range Rover, Lincoln and Mercedes got into the act. It was the gorgeous, luxurious, fully equipped Jeep Grand Wagoneer. This basic body lasted from 1966 to 1991 (the second longest run of a single body style, exceeded only by the original VW Beetle!) , and was popular with the jet set in the North East, particularly the Hamptons of New York, Miami, and in Beverly Hills, Carmel and in the rich suburbs of San Francisco. They have become quite collectable, with a number of major high-end restorers now specializing exclusively in Wagoneers. Google Wagonmaster.com, as an example. Also check out the Wagoneer history on Wikipedia. A strong aftermarket parts industry now supports restorers of these classic luxury SUV's. Values have risen fast, as they're becoming rarer. What's special is not only the fully loaded luxury interior with the knee deep carpet and power everything, but the fact that this is a Jeep. Large and powerful, this car will go anywhere, any time.  This specific G.W. isn't in show condition, but presents itself as a very competent and very clean original specimen.  It works well, is missing nothing, and (give or take a paint job) is pretty darned presentable!  But it's more than just something to look at.  This Jeep  is a SERIOUS on-off road 4 wheel drive, ready for the mountains, snow, sand or rocks, and it's amazingly maneuverable, making U-turns tighter than most small cars could.  

I am the 3rd owner. The 2nd owner had it about 19 years of its life, and he used it for what it was designed for, took great care of it, thus, we're lucky to have it in good, sound working condition. The AMC built 360 V-8 and Chrysler Torque Flite 3 speed automatic transmission run smooth and quiet. The freshly re-done R-12 air conditioning is powerful and cold. The interior is mostly original and very nice for its age. The front seat and headliner have been re-done. It even has the original Jeep carpeted floor mats and roll-out cargo cover!   It's important to note the expensive wood grain trim is in AMAZING condition. This is the most expensive part of restoration on most of these cars. Not a problem on this one. Even the original leather wrapped steering wheel is nice.  The exterior is very clean, but the early style clear coat is peeling off, which is hard to see in the pictures. The car needs a paint job, if you want to display it. I have a bid for single stage repaint of $1375, if you'd like me to get it done for you.


The tires are very good all season radials, plus I have an extra set of the rare factory wheels, mounted with a set of serious off road tires, and some extra wheel centers (rare) which you can have if you like. I also have a set of the big factory service manuals in mint condition, and a lot of early service records. Call me for complete information and history. The car is in Fresno, CA, and all 3 owners lived right here in warm, dry Central California, where car bodies last forever. The old Wagoneers were famous for rusting through quickly.  This car has no rust. What a great piece of history!

On a completely different note, this car, just as it is, would make the ultimate daily driver for a mountain man or a weekend off-road hobbyist who really loves big Jeeps or carries 6 passengers. It's strong, sure footed, competent, powerful and  it also tows big trailers well.  This is a non-computer controlled non-fuel injection straightforward car from the past, and it's simple to fix. Plusd it'll carry 6 adults up a "wall" in deep snow or sand! It recently passed the California Smog test, and will pass again. 

559-892-1941 will get you in touch with me, for all the information and history you'd like to get. You're welcome to visit for an inspection. I can get you more pictures, and answer many other questions if you call or email. This is a fun car to own, and is a hard worker as well as a luxury cruiser.  This is a no-reserve auction.  Highest bidder at close will own the Jeep.  I have sold many of my toy cars on ebay over 14 years.  I buy them, work on them, drive them for awhile, and move on to the next project.  I'm old and the hobby keeps my heart ticking!  I do have a friend over on the coast, who keeps "making noises" about buying the car.  I MIGHT stop the auction for a bid more in line with the Wagoneer's actual value. I hate doing that, but this opening bid is less than half the value of the car.  Nonetheless, there is NO RESERVE and, assuming the probability that the auction runs its week, I will sell to the high bidder.  Best of luck!!  Thanks!

Chrysler recalling nearly half a million Durangos and Grand Cherokees

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Rule number one of public relations – save the bad news for Friday. Fiat Chrysler has adhered to that, announcing today that it'd be voluntarily recalling 467,480 SUVs. This latest recall could actually be thought of as a continuation of a September 2014 recall, relating to the fuel-cell relay. In that case, some 188,723 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee CUVs from model year 2011 were recalled. And this time, it's the Durango and GC in trouble again. FCA is adding crossovers from model years 2012 and 2013 to the fuel-pump recall, although only diesel-powered Jeeps with the 3.0-liter V6 that were sold outside of North America are affected this time around. As with the previous recall, deformities in the fuel-pump relay, which could affect its functioning. In most cases, FCA reports that the affected vehicles simply won't start, although they also could be prone to stalling. A new relay circuit will be installed that promises increase durability. Of the 467,480 vehicles being recalled, 338,216 were sold in the US market, 18,991 went to Canada and 10,829 were shipped south of the border, to Mexico. Outside of the NAFTA region, FCA is recalling 99,444 vehicles. No injuries or accidents have been associated with this recall. Statement: Fuel-Pump Relay February 27, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 467,480 SUVs worldwide to install new a relay circuit that improves fuel-pump relay durability. FCA US engineers have determined a condition identified in a previous investigation may extend to additional vehicles. The previous investigation, which led to a recall, traced a pattern of repairs to fuel-pump relays that are susceptible to deformation. This may affect fuel-pump function, preventing a vehicle from starting, or leading to engine stall. Of the two scenarios, the no-start condition is the more common. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The fuel-pump relay is located inside the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), which also helps manage other vehicle functions. None of these other functions, including air-bag deployment, is affected by the fuel-pump relay. The new campaign affects an estimated 338,216 vehicles in the U.S.; 18,991 in Canada; 10,829 in Mexico and 99,444 outside the NAFTA region. Covered are model-year 2012 and 2013 Dodge Durango full-size SUVs and non-NAFTA 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee mid-size SUVs equipped with 3.0-liter diesel engines.

Sunday Drive: Trucks and SUVs of all shapes and sizes

Sun, Nov 5 2017

The American automotive marketplace is dominated by trucks and SUVs, and so was the last week of coverage on Autoblog. By far, the most popular story of the week was our First Drive of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. It may look like an old-school lumberer, but in reality Lincoln's flagship is a thoroughly modern, turbocharged-V6-powered, three-row, luxury people mover. The Jeep Wrangler is the world's most recognizable vehicle. So it's no surprise that the next version looks a whole heck of a lot like the last one, and the one before. It's all in the details, which is why we were so excited when Jeep decided to unleash a trio of images showing both two- and four-door Wranglers for us to dissect ahead of the SUV's official debut at the L.A. Auto Show later this year. Past that, spy photos of the next Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 were predictably popular. See both of those below, and the cap it all off, check out the entire week's worth of SEMA coverage – including the bonkers Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6 – in our mega image gallery at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Lincoln Navigator First Drive | From black sheep to flagship 2018 Jeep Wrangler revealed: First photos released before L.A.
