1973 Jeep Wagoneer magazine advertisement The ad went on: Now with
more luxurious interiors... and more rugged components. Follow your
whims instead of a road map, Jeep 4-wheel drive will carry you into
the woods, through mud, over rocks, and deep into the back country,
where your boat doesn't have to join a fleet (the ad showed a boat
being hauled atop a Wagoneer). The Jeep Wagoneer has always been
big on power, big on ground clearance, big on comfort. But now this
best-selling 4-wheel drive family wagon is better than ever. With
new drivetrain components that are even more durable. Upgraded
tires that have even more traction. And interiors that are even
more stylish. There's a fully padded new instrument panel. Newly
designed gauges. New door armrests, both front and rear. And it
comes with just about every option, from air conditioning to
snowplows. The Jeep Wagoneer will get you where you want to go-and
do it in comfort. That's the beauty of it. Toughest 4-letter word
on wheels: Jeep. That old advertising copy pretty well nailed what
would become the basis for the SUV revolution that still commands
huge market share today. And in a way, virtually every word still
accurately describes the '73 Jeep Wagoneer offered here in black
over black, in spite of the fact that this example has been
refreshed, re-powered, and upgraded. Built in August of 1972 and
currently showing 113,700 miles on its odometer, this Wagoneer has
traveled fewer than 2,400 miles per-year on average since new. Its
excellent overall condition and respectful upgrades in power,
comfort, and style make for a nearly timeless go-anywhere vehicle,
as perfect for today as it was nearly 50 years ago. The
non-metallic black paint has been professionally refreshed and
shows excellent gloss and even application free of imperfections.
(To best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, be sure
to view the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying
gallery.) The Jeep's body is likewise free of dents, dings or other
damage. A mild lift-kit is installed giving the Wagoneer a more
purposeful stance. Original chrome bumpers, as well as the
beautifully simple chrome grille, chrome window surrounds, side
mirrors, rooftop luggage rack, door handles, and rear trim are all
free of damage with the metal showing only light patina from age in
some places. Factory badging includes a Jeep grille emblem,
front-fender Jeep and 4-wheel-drive emblems, and Wagoneer embossed
on the rear chrome trim. Cabin glass and lighting lenses are clear
and free of cracks or other damage. ProComp@ polished-metal, 8-hole
wheels are mounted with Sport King® All-Terrain Steel Radial
raised-white-letter tires. The Jeep's interior continues the black
color scheme and features a number of tasteful upgrades still in
keeping with the overall Wagoneer style. All four door panels have
been converted to simple, flat-finish vinyl with pull-handles.
Black vinyl upholstery on the newer high-back front bucket and rear
bench seats features a horizontal pattern. An added front console
between the seats includes cupholders (a feature never imagined in
1973). Premium black carpeting covers the cabin and cargo-area
floors. A 2-spoke, leather-trimmed steering wheel with SS center
emblem frames the three-circular-instruments set in a woodgrain
panel: the center speedometer with engine-monitoring gauges to each
side. A dashtop tachometer has been added. The shift lever for the
