American Icon for sale:  

This listing is for a very clean and original 1991 Final Edition Grand Wagoneer. This fine example was ordered by the president of the dealership for his own use. This truck rolled off the assembly line on May 23 at 8am in the morning. He ordered this particular Jeep with all the options, even the rare factory sunroof.

This Grand Wagoneer was one of only 1560 produced for the 1991 model year as the last one was made on June 20, 1991. There is no way of knowing the VIN sequence since they jumped all around but this should be somewhere within the last 100 made. Buy this as a collectable item or to drive, but either way this is a must own piece of American Jeep history.

The Black Cherry Pearl paint on the truck is a dealer repaint that was done in 1993 as part of a factory recall. All vinyl and wood trim were replaced within the last month!

Along with the paint all the stainless trim was polished to a high shine. This is a low mileage rust free truck. This Wagoneer still retains the factory fog lamps and factory Jeep covers, which are getting very hard to find especially in this condition. 

The interior is all original as it was shipped other than speaker replacement. The original carpet is the ultra plush which is no longer available for sale. Lots of aftermarket companies sell stock carpet kits but they aren't anywhere close to stock. I recently purchased custom floor mats to match the carpet.

Truck still retains the stock radio and it works. The Jensen speakers were replaced. This is not a booming stereo but it was never meant to be. The cordovan leather interior is in great shape and all original to the truck. There are no rips or tears in any of the seats. The original plastic protection is still under each leg of the seats. I replaced the headliner within the last 4 months.

Under the hood it retains mostly all the factory parts. Had a complete tune-up (less than 1K miles ago) which includes carburetor rebuild, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, fuel filter, new fuel pump, oil filter, new Valvoline Maxlife 10-30 oil. New Amsoil transmission fluid and new filter. Both differentials have new Amsoil 75-90w severe gear oil. This truck was prepared for a possible long trip. All vacuum hoses that appeared dry or brittle were changed at the same time. This truck has spent its entire life in a garage in North Carolina so it has never been exposed to road salt and sand. It was brought back (on a flatbed) to the Midwest in 2013, always stored indoors while I did a few renovations.

Tires on the truck are brand new with less than 1,000 miles on them. They are Hankook whitewalls with a 60,000 mile tread wear rating. All grease fittings under the truck has been greased.  So a list of work done in last two months: Window wipes Tires Hankook WSW zero miles Carb rebuilt Spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor Rear window motor All new fluids New Mopar window regulators in all windows. This fine example of a Wagoneer is available for viewing and inspection at anytime.

Is this a brand new Jeep? NO. Is this a piece of American history? Most definitely. It is 99 percent original and one of the cleanest close to originals left. This is a very nice truck and deserves a good home. Please if any questions feel free to ask. Ok now on to the requirements of the auction. You must have a decent feedback score to bid. I expect a 1000 dollar deposit to be made within 24 hours of auctions end. Full payment must be made within 7 days in the form of bank wire, cashier’s check, or plain good old American cash. I will be happy to work with you as far as pickup. If you have it shipped I will do everything in my powers to work with your shipper.

FCA's shifter fiasco proves novel gear selectors are a bad idea

Tue, Feb 9 2016

What's wrong with PRNDL? Why are automakers trying to overly complicate the simple task of selecting gears? If there's any lesson to learn from the recent news that NHTSA is investigating 853,000 Fiat Chrysler vehicles over its problematic gear selectors, it's that the trend of fancy shifters needs to stop. Now. Last year, NHTSA opened an investigation into Jeep Grand Cherokee models, and has now expanded this probe to include the 2012-14 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger. The problem? The shifter – assembled by ZF – is confusing for many drivers. "Testing ... indicates that operation of the (electronic) shifter is not intuitive and provides poor tactile and visual feedback to the driver, increasing the potential for unintended gear selection," a NHTSA document states. More than 100 crashes and over a dozen injuries are linked to this problem, according to The Detroit Free Press. To us, the problem isn't just limited to FCA. These unnecessarily novel gear selectors are spreading like wildfire across the industry. Honda and Acura use a weird pushbutton setup. Lincolns have buttons on the dashboard. Jaguar's shifter electronically raises out of the center console. Mercedes uses a stalk with up-for-Reverse, down-for-Drive, push-for-Neutral arrangement. And what the hell is BMW thinking with its M cars? FCA has since abandoned the confusing shifters in question. The 300, Charger, and Grand Cherokee now use the rotary shift dial that's quickly proliferating across the company's brands. Simplistic gear selectors might not be sexy, but no one ever complained about not being able to find the right gear in a Hyundai Sonata. What's most interesting is that this NHTSA investigation could push FCA – and possibly other automakers – to redesign vehicle functions that otherwise operate as designed. Just because most people will never have a problem putting a Dodge Charger in Reverse doesn't mean there isn't a flaw with the design. But perhaps a more simplistic solution – good ol' PRNDL – would have prevented these issues from the start.

Your 2018 Jeep Wrangler can already be fitted with a Chevy LS V8

Tue, Feb 13 2018

Over a long enough period of time, every car model on the planet will probably have at least one example receive a Chevrolet V8. And a large number of them will have an LS-series V8, commonly found in Corvettes and Camaros from the last 20 years (plus other GM vehicles in slightly different forms). Sometimes it doesn't take very long, as is the case with the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. The new Jeep has only been available for a couple of months, and already a company called Bruiser Conversions is offering to install LS engines under the hood. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Specifically, the company will install a GM Performance LS3 V8. Though Bruiser Conversions doesn't yet list exactly what specifications the engine has, it offers the LS3 in both 450- and 500-horsepower versions on the previous Wrangler JK generation. The new V8 will be fitted to the factory 8-speed automatic transmission, and the company says that the transmission will function exactly as it does with the original V6 or turbo inline-4. In addition, Bruiser Conversions says all factory gauges, cruise control, hill descent control and other electronic aids will work like they did from the factory. Pricing is currently not listed for the conversion, but the company is taking pre-orders for both in-shop installations and do-it-yourself kits. Going off the conversion costs for an older JK Wrangler, it will probably cost between $20,000 and $30,000 to have Bruiser Conversions do the installation. In the case of the JK kits, they're about $5,000 less than having Bruiser Conversions do the work. We've reached out to the company to see if we can get specific pricing and will update the post if and when we hear back. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
