Mileage:39448

Santa Barbara, California, United States
|
Offered for sale is our astonishingly original 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer that has accrued a mere 39,000 original miles from new during its extraordinarily well-cared-for life. Finished in its factory correct Baltic Blue Metallic over a Sand interior, the car is exceptionally original and well preserved, making this an incredible opportunity to acquire a truly collectible American icon and the final production run, “Best of the Breed” example. We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to purchase this Jeep from its passionate local Santa Barbara, CA owner. For the last decade this Jeep has seen only occasional use, always garaged and carefully maintained and used only as a seasonal beach cruiser during the summer months. It has been professionally serviced regularly throughout its life and recently received a full engine, suspension and transmission service. The previous owner has completed over $6,000 in preventive maintenance over the past few years through a local Santa Barbara shop. This is an absolutely remarkable original Grand Wagoneer that should command the attention of any serious collector or enthusiast. This spectacular Grand Wagoneer has certainly stood the test of time. The paint retains incredible depth and luster, showing only the most negligible of imperfections, and the body exhibits perfect panel fit and consistency throughout. This car has been consistently detailed on a weekly basis with fastidious care and attention. Every aspect of the car shows this attention to detail. The chrome, the glass, and the rubber are all in excellent original condition and the original wheels are nearly flawless, wrapped in tires with plenty of remaining tread. The completely original interior is absolutely beautiful. The original seats are nearly brand new, the carpets have been incredibly well preserved, the headliner is like new, the dash is pristine without cracking, fading, or warping, and the instruments and trim are excellent. The car has un upgraded radio, but its original and fully functional radio unit will be included with the car. It is obvious that this Jeep has been under the proud and careful ownership of true Wagoneer enthusiasts. After twenty-four careful years on the road this Grand Wagoneer is in exceptional mechanical order. The engine is incredibly strong with even compression and the 3-speed gearbox is without fault. The car drives straight and true, and brakes and handling are all as they should be. As previously mentioned, the Jeep has gone through a recent comprehensive service and has benefited from years of preventive maintenance and care irregardless of cost. The 4WD system was also serviced and had its fluids replaced. Consequently, the ride quality and performance are what one would expect from an extremely well-maintained, 39,000 original mile car. The Wagoneer had one of the longest production runs in US history, spanning 28 years under license of three different manufacturers. Chrysler bought the rights to Jeep in 1987 and set about making a few minor changes to the Wagoneer, refining the exterior and addressing some known faults of the car, prompting new branding as the “Grand” Wagoneer. The 1987 plus model year Grand Wagoneers, received improved wood siding, modernized aluminum wheels and two stage base coat/clear coat paint finish. In 1989 the Grand Wagoneer received a few more upgrades to keep it competitive with its new competitor, the Grand Cherokee. These final three production years received a new A/C compressor, rear wiper assembly and an overhead console with compass and temperature gauges. The changes made to these 1989-1991 model year Grand Wagoneers and the resulting strong sales numbers further a legacy that solidified the Wagoneers place in automotive history. These examples are known as “the best of the breed”, not because of Chrysler’s marketing, but their high production quality, classic styling and strong mechanicals have caused Jeep enthusiasts to bestow them with that honor. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire what is arguably one of the finest original examples of a quickly appreciating icon. Finding them in this condition, especially unrestored, is becoming virtually impossible, driving values to levels that were never expected and yet completely understandable from a collector’s perspective. Whether this stellar example is to be used as a more frequent driver or as a fun alternative asset in a serious collection, if you’re in the market for an exceptional Grand Wagoneer, it deserves your serious consideration. We want this
car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and answer any
questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557.

Land Rover Defender V8 vs. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 | V8 4x4s square off on paper
Thu, Feb 25 2021Land Rover pulled the sheet off its 2022 Defender on Wednesday, introducing another high-performance V8 to the off-road segment. This time, it's a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 boasting 518 horsepower. It will be available in both the Defender 90 and 110 models. In the former, Land Rover says it can crack off a 0-60 run in just 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 149 mph. The long-wheelbase 110 will be a bit slower, but "slow" probably isn't the right adjective to use here at all. But Land Rover isn't the only automaker offering a high-performance variant of its off-road SUV. While Jeep may have been sneered at for presenting the 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 on the heels of the 2021 Ford Bronco's introduction, it starts to make a lot more sense in this context. There's reportedly a high-output Bronco on the way, too, so call Jeep the dinosaur of the group all you want, but you can't put a price on being first. Well, you can, actually, but that's not the point. Thankfully, both Land Rover and Jeep have provided enough specs for us to rough out a comparison chart. Since the Rubicon 392 is offered only in four-door guise, we're looking at the long-wheelbase Defender 110 as its direct competitor here. Have a look: There are a few caveats to mention off the top. For starters, we don't have an official curb weight for the V8-powered Defender yet, as Land Rover has not finalized its U.S. specs. We used the European figures (as provided by a spokesperson), which we expect to be accurate within about 50 pounds. The 0-60 time provided by Land Rover was for the Defender 90, which is smaller and somewhat lighter than the 110. When equipped with the inline-6, the Defender 110 is about a tenth of a second slower to 60 than the Defender 90, so we figure it should be roughly the same for the V8. While the Defender has nearly 50 horsepower on the Wrangler, that advantage disappears thanks to the Land Rover V8's monster weight penalty, which will fall somewhere between 600 and 700 pounds depending on equipment. Yikes. On the flip side, however, the Land Rover has the edge in top speed, and it's not even close. Chalk that up to the tires, we suspect. We know for a fact that the Rubicon 392's all-terrains dictate its speed limiter; Jeep's own engineers told us as much. This could make for a (hypothetically) interesting drag race, as the Jeep's advantage off the line may evaporate once triple digits come into play.
NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans
Mon, 29 Sep 2014The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
