You're looking at a clean, well-documented 1984 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with low original mileage. 

This jeep was bought by my sister from the world-famous Wagonmaster of Kerrville, TX. The jeep underwent an extensive renewal process while at Wagonmaster.(for details about Wagonmaster see the attached link - www.wagonmaster.com).   Prior to that the jeep had two California owners. The Grand Wagoneer had 74,000 original miles on it when my sister bought it in 2006.  It currently has 88,000 miles.  I have all of the paperwork on the vehicle since it was purchased from Wagonmaster as well as the paperwork from Wagonmaster that shows the restoration they did.

 

The body has no dents and no visible rust.  The undercarriage and floorboards are clean and dry - no evidence of undercoating or attempts to cover anything up. Wagonmaster repainted the jeep in 2006 and it is Hunter Green with Saddle Tan interior.  There is some minor paint fading on the roof and the fenders, and some oxidation on the chrome. These minor blemishes are un-noticeable from about 10 feet away, but are visible when up close as seen in the pictures.  The wood trim has recently been refurbished and some of the plugs are missing.  Please note the picture.  The vinyl paneling is in great condition but does have a few blemishes.

On the inside, the leather seats are all in good condition although there are a few tears on the seats.  I have taken detailed pictures of the seats.  The carpets are all original and in excellent condition.  All the power windows and locks work.  The back right window motor was recently replaced. The drivers side mirror adjuster does not work.

The engine is a 5.9 liter V – 8 (360 CID) 2 – barrel carburetor. The carburetor has also been recently rebuilt and runs smoothly.  We recently installed a new set of whitewall tires all around with less than 1,000 miles on them.

The jeep is slow to start especially on cold days.  I have to “pump” the gas and let it sit for a minute or two a couple of times.  Once it starts it drives great.  It will, on occasion, stall at idle. 

 

The vehicle is sold in as-is condition and is being sold locally - so I reserve the right to end the bid at any time.  The Jeep is available for inspection locally and I'd be happy to answer any additional questions (best I can) or provide additional photos.

These Jeeps are becoming harder to find especially in great condition as this one.   Whenever we are driving this jeep, we always get comments!  It looks amazing and is really fun to drive. 

Buyer pays shipping cost.  Please email me with any questions.

Jeep Renegade sales being held due to powertrain issue [UPDATE]

Wed, May 20 2015

UPDATE: An unnamed FCA US source has clarified to Automotive News that while there is a software issue, it does not concern the transmission. The Jeep Renegade appears to be facing early software problems that are similar to the ones at the introduction of the Cherokee a few years ago. The issue is keeping the brand's latest compact crossover away from dealers until the situation can be resolved. The fault reportedly deals with the software controlling the Renegade's nine-speed automatic transmission. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne briefly talked about what was happening in an interview with Automotive News. "I'm having a very bad engineering day," he said. "It's a combination of attributes of that vehicle that is making my life horrible." The company boss predicted at the longest it could take until mid-June to fix things. Through April, Jeep has sold 5,157 Renegades, including 4,214 of them in that month alone. Autoblog reached out to an FCA US spokesperson to learn more about the software problem, but the company had no comment. Getting the software right to control the nine-speed automatic plagued development of the Cherokee. The issues delayed the model's launch in 2013, and the company was still releasing improvements for some vehicles this year.

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.

EV cost burden pushing automakers to their limits, says Stellantis' CEO Tavares

Wed, Dec 1 2021

DETROIT — Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said external pressure on automakers to quickly shift to electric vehicles potentially threatens jobs and vehicle quality as producers struggle with EVs' higher costs. Governments and investors want car manufacturers to speed up the transition to electric vehicles, but the costs are "beyond the limits" of what the auto industry can sustain, Tavares said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference released Wednesday. "What has been decided is to impose on the automotive industry electrification that brings 50% additional costs against a conventional vehicle," he said. "There is no way we can transfer 50% of additional costs to the final consumer because most parts of the middle class will not be able to pay." Automakers could charge higher prices and sell fewer cars, or accept lower profit margins, Tavares said. Those paths both lead to cutbacks. Union leaders in Europe and North America have warned tens of thousands of jobs could be lost. Automakers need time for testing and ensuring that new technology will work, Tavares said. Pushing to speed that process up "is just going to be counter productive. It will lead to quality problems. It will lead to all sorts of problems," he said. Tavares said Stellantis is aiming to avoid cuts by boosting productivity at a pace far faster than industry norm. "Over the next five years we have to digest 10% productivity a year ... in an industry which is used to delivering 2 to 3% productivity" improvement, he said. "The future will tell us who is going to be able to digest this, and who will fail," Tavares said. "We are putting the industry on the limits." Electric vehicle costs are expected to fall, and analysts project that battery electric vehicles and combustion vehicles could reach cost parity during the second half of this decade. Like other automakers that earn profits from combustion vehicles, Stellantis is under pressure from both establishment automakers such as GM, Ford, VW and Hyundai, as well as start-ups such as Tesla and Rivian. The latter electric vehicle companies are far smaller in terms of vehicle sales and employment. But investors have given Tesla and Rivian higher market valuations than the owner of the highly profitable Jeep and Ram brands. That investor pressure is compounded by government policies aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union, California and other jurisdictions have set goals to end sales of combustion vehicles by 2035.
