Grand Wagoneer by Classic Gentleman, internationally recognized as a leading buyer, restorer and seller of low mile excellent condition Grand Wagoneers, presents this inaugural 1984 year one owner Spinnaker Blue Metallic frame off restoration completing in April !
If you are a Grand Wagoneer enthusiast you are undoubtedly alive to the fact of the limited production run of these iconic vehicles. The Grand Wagoneer was only produced for eight years from 1984 to 1991. The full-size Jeep line up was consolidated in 1984- the fully loaded and new namesake that would take it to the end of the line- the Grand Wagoneer was born.
We are always thrilled when we acquire a FIRST YEAR EDITION , especially one with such a stellar past. You are looking at a ONE OWNER Grand Wagoneer for its entire 37 year history- up until our purchase. This is the first and only single owner 1984 Grand Wagoneer to ever grace our extensive inventory. With 111,850 actual miles this Grand travelled on average just 3000 miles per year and all those miles were in sunny California. She has never been exposed to harsh winter road conditions and the frame and undercarriage reflect that heritage of the dry southwest, and single ownership speaks to the loving care she received over those 37 years. We have color converted this Grand to Spinnaker Blue-to make her even more unique. Spinnaker Blue Wagoneers are extremely difficult to acquire and we receive many inquiries through the year for this highly prized color. Here is the opportunity to purchase a single owner 1984 Grand Wagoneer (with those nostalgic round dashboard gauges) with a lifetime spent in the sunny southern California and finished in that rarely seen Spinnaker Blue Metallic. This Grand Wagoneer is guaranteed to make an impression as she is cutting a dash from the beach to the mountains.
The Carfax report confirms that until our purchase she was a one owner, lifelong registered southern California Wagoneer and the low miles are original with no accidents reported against her.
The frame off restoration is extensive, from a newly remanufactured original spec 360ci V8 engine, rebuilt transmission and updating to modern fuel injection to a whole host of other cosmetic and mechanical/electrical works with the highlights detailed below:

When you purchase a Classic Gentleman Wagoneer it has been thoroughly inspected and works completed by professional mechanics, some with over forty years of Wagoneer experience. We purchase fine example Jeeps from a variety of sources including other dealers and private parties. We are often told by the seller, “My Jeep is excellent and needs nothing” however, being in this profession, we know to expect and plan for a great deal of sorting. Remember the average age of these vehicles is over thirty years old and even with loving care many the cosmetics and mechanical parts have aged and worn accordingly.
