1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer - Beautiful, Dependable, Colorado Car! on 2040-cars
Burlington, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for auction is an incredibly well maintained and CLEAN 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. EVERYTHING works on this car and it is very original, yet has many practical upgrades making it easier to enjoy for the modern driver. The car has 171,000 miles on it and is an incredibly strong & smooth running car.
This car was purchased new from Colorado AMC JEEP, Inc. in Denver, Colorado by a couple in Littleton, CO. According to ownership records, it remained in Colorado (between Littleton, Aurora and Ft. Collins) until 2006. Judging by the extreme rust-free undercarriage and frame (see pictures) i was told that the previous owners used it only as a summer car for going to the "lake". This is not a perfect car by any means, it has numerous touch-ups around the car, but it is a heck of a "10-footer" that gets tons of attention everywhere she goes. People can't believe how well preserved it is, especially when I tell them it's unrestored. The glass all around the car is in great condition - no scratches or cracks anywhere. Just 1-2 tiny chips a tad larger than a pin-head (don't obstruct visibility or anything, really have to look to find them) There is 1 spot on the car that has significant rust in the lower/underside portion of the RH Quarter panel. There are a few other spots on the car that have either bubbling/missing paint, but overall aren't terribly distracting from the beauty of the car.. again this is not a $35,000 Wagonmaster car and my reserve is set very reasonably. Also each front corner of each front fender have had larger areas of touch-up performed (prior to my ownership) as seen in pictures/video. Major maintenance completed include the following: At 129,000 Miles: Transmission professionally rebuilt w/new torque converter ect. New Power Steering Pump Installed At 135,000 Miles: Carburetor Rebuilt 2012-2014: Air Conditioning system converted/upgraded to the R-134 system Ignition system upgraded to the new TFI system (Starts great, better fuel efficiency, Horsepower & Torque) With TFI upgrade came new distributor cap & rotor (larger style), & new MSD Premium wires New ignition coil New Spark Plugs New Aluminum Radiator Alternator overhauled by alternator specialist 2 window zippers replaced Brake fluid flush New right front brake caliper New rear wheel brake cylinders New Headliner professionally installed with new factory fabric (Extra material comes with car) JVC Bluetooth Radio professionally installed with HandsFree mic over rearview mirror. Syncs with your iPhone or Android ect for handsfree talking/Pandora/Aux input. Works great! I do have the original cassette/radio to go with car. New speakers installed (original covers still installed to maintain original look) Records/receipts of regularly servicing transmission and transfer case which support why the car drives great for it's mileage. Video: I will try to put up a video I made (forgive me for my lack of camera skills) or if it's not good quality, but should help illustrate the condition of car. If you don't see the video posted here, please message me and I will try to put it up on Youtube and send you a link. EVERYTHING WORKS: All 5 power windows including tailgate window which works perfect by either the switch up front on dash, or the key operation in the tailgate. 4X4, Cruise Control, All gauges including gas gauge function perfectly. Bluetooth radio works perfect, Air Conditioning and heat works perfect. This car starts incredibly easily even cold and goes right into the choke high-idle and once it is given 20 seconds or so to warm up, just tap the pedal and it goes into a normal idle and you're ready for non-stalling driving! This car drives, stops and accelerates great as it should. The power steering works perfectly, the car stops great (no grinding or pulsing when applying brakes, and stays straight) and this car has POWER! it really accelerates well and i have driven other wagoneers, maybe it's the TFI upgrade, but even at 50MPH, when you add fuel it really accelerates great and smoothly. The transmission works and shifts perfectly as it should, no slipping or timing issues or late/early shifting. On May-04-14 at 18:34:30 PDT, seller added the following information: |

Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
Jeep Cherokee appears in Chrysler's second Super Bowl spot
Mon, 03 Feb 2014The second of three spots produced by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles for this year's Super Bowl featured the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Aired during the game's half time show, the minute-long ad didn't strike as anything new or innovative from an automaker with a reputation for above average Super Bowl spots, but it did show the controversially styled Cherokee in the best light possible.
Called Restless, the commercial shows young, adventurous types doing the sorts of things that young, adventurous types do: surfing, skateboarding, cliff jumping, staring off into the sky with a pensive expression, etc. Scroll down to watch Restless for yourself and let us know in Comments if Jeep managed to hold your attention during half time.
Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest
Tue, Jun 16 2015There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.
