Vehicle Description
With proper V8 power, an updated interior, a modern color, and
classic 4x4 prowess, this 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer is a terrific
vintage SUV that also knows exactly how to be useful in modern
times.
This was the final evolution of the Grand Wagoneer where Jeep was
in the hands of Chrysler. They made some subtle upgrades without
ever taking anything away from the original spirit. And that theme
is taken to heart on this example. The Grey Metallic is an
attractive and modern color that gives a more modern twist than the
wood veneer sides of other Wagoneers. But this added gloss also
seems to help highlight the well-creased lines that have made these
grand Jeeps so appealing for decades. And the upgraded American
Racing Outlaw II wheels add a nice polish to go with the chrome
bumpers and grille. It's a good look, but this classic is not ready
for retirement. From the fog lights up front to the trailer hitch
in the rear, this lifted SUV wants to be useful and makes sure you
aren't too timid to enjoy it.
When you open the door, the first thing you notice is the
upholstery. The upgraded saddle and tan are an intricate
ultraleather two-tone that fits well with the other earth-tones of
the interior. This has plenty of nice features like an upgraded
AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth, power windows, and plenty of room
for everyone. There are some details that need servicing, like the
R134a air conditioning, power locks, and the dash pad, but overall,
you have the same spacious and luxurious feeling that you love in a
Wagoneer. These give you a proper driver's feeling with the front
bucket seats with a fold-down armrest in-between, and the tilt
steering column gives you a good view of the classic gauges.
The Jeep/AMC 360 cubic-inch V8 has a long-standing reputation for
being a sturdy powerhouse. This is heightened further on this one
because we were told it was given a more recent rebuild, and the
strong way this one fires up and runs supports this claim. They
also added an Edelbrock AVS2 four-barrel carburetor. That makes for
a strong-running powerful package that gives a nice and low tune
out of the exhaust. This is part of the Chrysler era, and so this
stout V8 is mated to the A727 three-speed automatic transmission
for the ideal balance of stout and smooth. That's good on this
Wagoner because the lifted stance and BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A
KM3 tires enhance the 4x4's go-anywhere ability. And power
steering, power brakes, and font discs help keep this feel good on
the road, too.
This is the Wagoneer that keeps the vintage pieces you love and
adds features to enhance the best parts. And it does it all for a
value price. Call today!!!
