Vehicle Description
Here's one generously proportioned classic ride sure to bring on
the memories! This 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer is clad in an accented
color scheme that over the years became the "go-to" look for the
model - one that was thoroughly refreshed only a little while back.
Add to that a rebuilt drivetrain, with the paperwork to back it up,
and you have a nostalgia-inducing, iconic ride that's ready to
provide plenty of future motoring adventures.
The exterior retains the stylish yet no-nonsense stock sensibility
that attracted buyers back in its heyday. Having benefitted from a
respray only a few years back, the maroon steel surface has a nice
shine - a buff and wax session will take things to an even higher
level. While the assembly of chrome on display is in its original
state and has yet to be re-plated, it's in pretty solid shape,
leaving you with the viable option of hitting the road with
everything just as it is, or taking the steps to elevate this
Jeep's curb appeal even further. The woodgrain paneling running the
lengths of the sides is a signature styling cue for the model
that's certainly well-represented here - it's in outright excellent
shape, with a consistent glossy look and smooth texture. Above, the
roof rack appears to have been recently replaced and while the
headlights have also been in place from the beginning, they're
surprisingly clear. Even under closer inspection, you'll be taken
right away with just how appealingly road ready this car is.
Climb inside and prepared to be surrounded by plenty of room. The
sheer amount of real estate inside these doors is impressive - if
ever a vehicle earned the accolade "room for the whole family" it's
this one right here. The interior remains in its original
configuration and has yet to see the inside of an upholstery shop -
while there's evidence of its years of service here and there, it's
certainly nothing to keep you from rounding up your crew and
getting the road trips started right away. This classic driving
environment actually has plenty already going for it - the seating
is still really comfortable, the headliner is in clean condition
and the woodgrain interior accents are looking good. The factory
air conditioning system received proper maintenance just a little
while back, so it's also in fine form and up to the challenge of
cooling off this sizable interior. Lower the liftgate in back and
you'll find quite a bit of storage space behind the rear bench
seat.
The 5.9 liter V8 dwelling underneath the hood is very likely the
original powerplant and it, along with the automatic transmission
right behind it, was rebuilt only a couple of years back - there's
documentation on board to back up the work performed - so this is a
smooth-performing drivetrain that's capable of taking you wherever
you want to go. During the rebuilding process, its 4-barrel carb
and distributor also received the attention they needed to be in
top form, and the spark plug wires, as well as a number of other
maintenance items, were replaced for increased dependability.
Recently serviced power brakes that feature discs up front bring
prompt stops, while power steering makes this sizable vehicle easy
to handle as it cruises on its set of 15" stock wheels wrapped with
Hercules Roadtour tires.
With its unique combination of rock solid road-readiness and
timeless rugged looks, this 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer represents a
rare opportunity. Call today!
