1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 54” Stretch Limousine

This chauffeur driven and professionally maintained vehicle is one of the original 12 Grand Wagoneer stretch limousines built by DaBryan Coachbuilders ordered by Jerry Morris Broadway Jeep-Eagle of Colorado. It is not a home-made clone constructed of two separate Wagoneers. This professionally built 54” stretch limousine was crafted by one of the finest coachbuilders in the world. The Jeep is an accident-free Colorado car. It was purchased from Western Coach Limousine of Steamboat Springs and is currently owned by Buck Horn Limousine, LLC, of Durango Colorado.

Options include:

Fully Loaded Grand Wagoneer

Boomerang Antenna

Trailer Hitch

Auxiliary Battery Set Up

Auxiliary Fan

Front Chauffeur Control Panel

Window Tint

Power Solid and Glass Partitions

Rear partition with power

Rear Heat

Wet Bar

Rear Stereo

Rear Mood Lighting

Rear Control Panel

Champagne Well

Ice Compartments

Twin Vanity Mirrors

And more

This “woody” is a reliable daily driver. It required basic maintenance only and I have the records that document this. The motor starts easy and runs strong. I am willing to drive and deliver the limo anywhere in the continental U.S. for a charge of $2.75 per mile. Properly tuned this Jeep averages 12 MPG. This is one of the first 12 luxury SUV limos ever produced. They were featured in Time magazine, July 15, 1985.

Text from the article follows:

Last week in Denver, Auto Dealer Jerry Morris unveiled his own very different vision of automotive high life, American-style. Equipped with a bar and Baccarat crystal, trimmed with teak and priced at $50,000, Morris' showpiece is a 19-ft.-long Jeep station wagon. The dealer bills it as the world's first stretch limousine with four-wheel drive. Morris' theory is that off-road travel should be comfortable. Said he: "People have said to me, 'Wouldn't it be nice if there were a luxury car that could be used to go through the mountains in bad weather?' With this vehicle, if we have two feet of snow, you still won't be stranded."
The luxury car is a stretched version of American Motors' Grand Wagoneer, a favorite of skiers and suburbanites. The fancier touches include a built-in champagne bucket and an 8-in. color television, but for rugged back-country terrain, the four-wheel limo also features an electronic shock-absorption system. Morris expects to find buyers for his Jeep limo among oil-well owners and ski-tour operators.

This “Colorado Cadillac” is approximately 95% original as delivered from the coachbuilder. The original fog lights were replaced by 100 watt KC driving lights. The “wag-sag” common with all Wagoneers was remedied by professionally installing a 4” Skyjacker “Soft-Ride” suspension lift including 4 new spring packs with 9-way adjustable Rancho 9000x shocks. The vinyl top was replaced as necessary on all Wagoneer limos. This top needs replacing again. The high altitude sun was hard on it. Fore and aft of the stretched section, the truck is a stock, loaded 1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with working 4WD including High/Low range. The car is currently out-of-service and stored indoors.

The problems I am aware of are rust, scratches, dings, and common oil/fluid leaks. There is wear as the limo is 28 years old. We removed components of the A/C and Emissions Systems to improve fuel efficincy. The car rented for $85/hr. before it was garaged. The coach passed the Colorado Public Utilities safety and condition inspection required for professional use. No special license or insurance is required in Colorado to drive this car privately.

I have more information, statistics and history on these historic vehicles and will be happy to share it with the winning bidder. I can provide additional photos of cosmetics of the car upon request.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of Ronald Reagan’s Grand Wagoneer limousine I’d be grateful for any information on how to contact the current owner.

Here's a link to a video I shot of another Stretch Jeep I recently sold.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.

Excavator in China bashes BMW and Jeep out of the way

Tue, Jun 2 2015

This Chinese construction site apparently has a zero tolerance policy towards obstacles getting in the way of work. When blocked by a Jeep and a BMW, the operator of this excavator pushes the two vehicles out of the way like they're toys. The Bimmer gets the brunt of the abuse, with the sedan getting lodged up against a fence. The exact context of this clip isn't entirely known, but The Mirror in Britain speculates the vehicles are illegally parked. But that doesn't explain why the excavator crashes through a gate later in the video. Also, this doesn't appear to be the case of a rogue operator taking out some frustrations, because a man with a walkie-talkie is leading the way and seemingly directing the destruction. Nonetheless, getting permission to knock these cars around was probably the highlight of this driver's day. News Source: The Mirror, AOL On BMW Jeep Crossover Videos Sedan

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
