its contemporaries such as the basic and utilitarian Land Rover and
it only saw very minor mechanical changes throughout its 28 years
plus production run, which was the longest production run in US
automotive history and which was produced through several different
name changes from 1963-1991. The Wagoneer was to replace the
original 'Willys Jeep Station Wagon' which had been produced since
1946 and remained in production into 1965. For 1982, new luxury
editions named Custom Wagoneer and Wagoneer Brougham were added,
and the Wagoneer Limited was substantially upgraded with luxury
equipment. Limited buyers got bucket seats with leather trim, a
center armrest, and unique door panels; leather-wrapped steering
wheel; extra thick carpeting; woodgrain overlay on the lower dash;
wide woodgrain side and rear; roofrack; bright drip rail overlay;
aluminum wheels (still 15 x 7); a tire upgrade; various moldings;
standard air conditioning; power windows and locks; cruise; tilt
wheel; FM stereo; the visibility group; electric remote control
mirrors; bumper guards; six-way power front seats; and a rear
window defogger. In 1984 , the full-size Wagoneer line was
consolidated into one offering and in 1987 Chrysler bought out
American Motors and continued to build the Grand Wagoneer until
1991. These 1987-91 model years are considered the best of the
breed due to a number of upgrades including upgraded wood sidings
and modern aluminum wheels in 'Gunmetal Grey Metallic' and with
two-stage base/clearcoat paint. The 1989-91 years also boasted a
number of further improvements including a quality replacement for
the air conditioning system, which was prone to leaks in the
earlier models, an interior overhead console and compass and other
welcome and general improvements in fit and finish.The end of the
line came in 1991, after enjoying one of the longest production
runs for any vehicle, with the powerful V8 engine and high towing
capacity having proved the Grand Wagoneer to be the vehicle of
choice for numerous repeat buyers. The late model Grand Wagoneers
have become a highly prized and coveted vehicle which routinely
sell for more than their original sticker prices (see the renown
Wagonmaster and other related cult sites for comparison pricing)
more than two decades after rolling off the assembly line and in
1991 a total of only 1,560 SJ Grand Wagoneers were produced with an
optional 'Final Edition Jeep Grand Wagoneer' badge on the
dashboard! This is a genuine original one southern California owner
