1989-1991's are clearly the best. Please read the following (and more on mine below)...

"The 1987-1991 model years "are considered the best of the breed" due to a number of upgrades. These include upgraded wood siding and modernized aluminum wheels that lost their gold colored inlays in favor of gunmetal grey metallic. All exterior colors were now applied in a two stage base/clearcoat system.

Finally, a number of further improvements were made for the 1989-1991 model year series including a quality replacement for the earlier, leak-prone air conditioning compressor, the addition of the visually identifiable rear wiper assembly, as well as a general improvement in fit and finish. An interior overhead console, taken from Chrysler's popular minivans, was also added. This functional console featured much brighter map lights, an outside temperature sensor and compass, and an infrared remote-controlled key-less entry system.

The last model years also featured new paint colors. These "new" colors included the rare Hunter Green metallic that was only available in the 1991 model year and is the paint color of the 91 Grand Wagoneer in the Chrysler museum, as well as the color of the very last Grand Wagoneer ever made, which was a significant part of the historic collection at the National Automobile museum."

And here we go...

This one is a beautiful, fastidiously maintained, stock and original, rust-free, mechanically and cosmetically excellent, freeway-driven, Southern California (1989-2010) 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. It's the most desirable version of the longest production run automobile ever built in the United States (1963-1991). I'm selling it for a Waggy enthusiast acquaintance of mine (I'm the Ebay go-to guy among my circle of friends). He bought it for his wife in early 2010 and brought it to the dry, desert climate of St. George, Utah (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). His plan was to keep it forever. Alas, plans change so he asked me to sell it for him.

It runs and drives quite perfectly by my standards. And I'm a hard-core car guy (who has owned Lexus, Cadillac and Range Rover SUV's among many others) who finds it hard to believe a vintage platform like this could be engineered to be so civilized. It's very comfortable and easy to drive in town and on the freeway (not too big and not too small). She's very tight and handles bumps and turns very well. I wouldn't hesitate to go on a cross-country road-trip today.

Please look at the pictures carefully and ask me to send you the almost 200 I have on my computer. They tell a story about every nook and cranny on this exceptional Southern California beauty much better than I ever could. The TLC this one has received in it's almost quarter century and wonderfully original, well-preserved nature will be more than evident.

Below are all the need/want-to-know's...

Zero Accident or Damage History

Always Garage Kept

New Alternator

New Radiator

New Battery

Goodyear Wrangler Tires with less than 5000 Miles

Cold Air Conditioning Already Converted to R134A

Runs Very Cool in 100 Plus Degree Weather with AC on

Still has the Retractable Cargo Cover

Everything Works Except Speedo/Odo (apparently a $20 part; it failed in April 2012) and Driver Side Electric Mirror Switch

It has also been intelligently upgraded (easily reversible) in several areas to improve driveability/reliability/appearance...

JVC Stereo with IPod Attachment Wired Through Glovebox (and it still even has all 4 original Accusound by JENSEN speakers!)

Holley Electric Fuel Pump

JEGS Dual Electric Fans with 2600CFM and Manual Switch

Manual 4WD Selector in place of troublesome vacuum-operated unit

Older, High-Quality Respray in Original Burgundy Metallic

These are the ONLY deviations from stock and enhance its utility as a reliable, practical, daily driver.

This is an impressive example of modern-day, classic, Detroit Iron. The pictures, condition (both cosmetically and mechanically), and lineage are that of a vehicle with much less than half the miles. And that's how freeway miles are; studies have shown they are virtually wear-free. They are certainly better from a usability standpoint than allowing a car to sit and languish for years, undriven. Personally, I like to drive automobiles that are actually appreciating in value. You may want to check out www.wagonmaster.com to see what the high-end of the Grand Wagoneer market looks like. Hard to believe they sell for $40K plus.

My name is Chris and I would be delighted to answer any and all your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. Plus, send me your non-Ebay email address so I can send you all my pics. They tell a great story. Again, I am located in the dry, desert community of St. George, Utah (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). You may want to consider flying in and driving home. I would be happy to help facilitate that. Thank you very much for your interest.

Jeep spied testing Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

Fri, Mar 11 2016

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is coming. We know this, because Mike Manley, the head of Jeep, said so. We showed you this brief spy video a while back, but now we have our clearer images of the Trackhawk undergoing testing. And it looks just like a normal Grand Cherokee SRT. Yeah, anti-climactic, we know. The four shots we have show a bit of camo over the front bumper and grille, likely concealing a tweaked design or visible bits of the 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. It looks like there's a rather substantial opening below the upper grille, almost like a ram-air system. There's also a smidge of what looks like tape on the front wheel arches, although this might not mean much of anything. What's interesting is what isn't here. There's no perceivable change to the back of the car. The exhaust pipes look like they're about the same size, there's no noticeable changes to the aerodynamics, and in fact, there's not even any camouflage. Jeep also hasn't updated the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk's hood, which is somewhat surprising considering the changes for every other Hellcat-equipped vehicle (concepts included). You can check out our earliest look at the Trackhawk up top. As for when this monstrous Grand Cherokee will debut, we're expecting it to arrive sometime in 2017, perhaps on FCA's home turf at the Detroit Auto Show. Related Video:

Jeep Wrangler JK's exit interview: brilliant, flaws and all

Tue, May 24 2016

The engineers at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Jeep's current steward (and there have been many), have to be sweating bullets as they ready the forthcoming, long-overdue replacement for the Wrangler. It's the brand's icon, its most recognizable vehicle, and the reason Jeep enjoys such success today. Most brands use their flagships to lure shoppers who will then take home a more practical, pedestrian model. Think about the relationship between Corvettes and Malibus in the Chevy showroom. For Jeep, however, the Wrangler is a business unto itself: Nearly one in four Jeeps sold new last year was a Wrangler. That's a lot of pressure as Jeep gears up to replace the current model, codenamed JK, which has been on the road since 2007. I took a Wrangler into the woods to ponder it all. The Wrangler lineup starts around $26,000 but climbs rapidly from there. At the upper end of the spectrum sits the Rubicon Hard Rock, which builds on the already capable Rubicon's locking differentials and electronic front sway bar disconnect with a host of styling goodies. At $43,325 as tested, the Hard Rock is no cheap trail toy. Wranglers have gotten more comfortable and capable over the years, but driving one is still an exercise in compromises. Luxury here means durable leather upholstery and a lot of bass from the stereo. The driving experience is of the "well, it's better than it used to be" variety on pavement. The rational buy in this segment is the Toyota 4Runner Trail, which goes off-road almost as well as the Jeep and does everything else way better. But nobody takes home a Wrangler because it makes sense. It's a middle finger extended in the direction of conformity while fording the river of beige Corollas between home and office. You don't need a Wrangler, but you probably want one. That's why Jeep sold more than twice as many Wranglers as Toyota did 4Runners last year – and the 4Runner sells well. Wrangler sales aren't slipping, but increasingly stringent emissions and safety standards are signs of the inevitable forward march of progress – and so Wrangler must change with the times. Simple ways to improve the Wrangler are obvious: An updated interior with a modern infotainment system, user-selectable traction control modes tailored to specific terrain conditions, an eight-speed automatic, better aerodynamics, and a lot of weight-saving aluminum are inevitable.
