For Sale: 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer in Concord, North Carolina

The 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer represents a timeless sense of style as it's the first big American luxury SUV. So with the revival of the premium SUV name, these are becoming even more popular in the vintage 4x4 market. That's why it's great to find an example with solid V8 power, a sharp-looking leather interior, cold-blowing air conditioning, and plenty more of the features you want.

The blocky, upright lines of these Jeeps made them look as sturdy as granite, and so it chiseled a lifelong desire into our enthusiast's hearts. So it's great to have an example that is as complete as this one. This holds close to the factory-style Dark Baltic Blue Metallic. It's an attractive color for modern times, and it strikes the right balance of looking clean while still being driver ready. The same goes for the hallmark wood veneer trim. There's even a vintage style to the brightwork, including the large bumpers, wide grille, complete trim package, and luggage rack. So the overall impression is a good-looking classic ready to have fun still. It may take a professional detail and a few available aftermarket parts if you're looking to outshine a Range Rover in the corporate parking lot. And that's the heart of the appeal. This is the kind of classic that lets you choose your adventure.

The tan interior looks great against the deep blue exterior. There has been the right level of care and investment here. That means a clean dash, plush carpeting, and a great feeling from the supple leather seats with velour inserts. While this has seating for up to six people, you'll be pleased cruising solo thanks to the bucket seat upfront with a folding armrest. These front seats even power adjust to the ideal comfort position. Other luxuries include power windows, power locks, an upgraded cup holder center console, a tilt steering column, upgraded Bluetooth stereo, and modern R134a air conditioning. So this comfortable and loaded classic is ready for everything from tailgating to road trips.

Under the hood is the classic and hardy Jeep/AMC 360 cubic-inch V8. While this has a stock style, it also has a big secret. It's a fresher rebuilt replacement motor installed in 2016. So while we're told the odometer likely reflects the body's mileage, this one has a newer heart. We also have maintenance records detailing many of the main gaskets and fundamental components replaced within the last few years. The A727 three-speed automatic transmission is strong and smooth, so it's an ideal partner for this SUV. The two-speed transfer case four-wheel-drive system means this is a true Jeep. But when that go-anywhere nature means a run to the grocery store, the power steering, power brakes, front discs up front, and newer Firestone tires make any journey easy.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and maintenance records. This is loaded, vintage, capable, established, and all-around fun. So don't miss the original Grand Wagoneer. Call now!
