Vehicle Description
Ready for a go-anywhere vehicle that's only used half of its life?
Jeep's Grand Wagoneer is notorious for leading long lives, either
under one or multiple owners.
Made in Toledo, Ohio (VIN code T), this Grand Wagoneer is one of
the examples made after Chrysler bought American Motors. It left
the assembly line wearing Dark Baltic Blue paint (code CE). The
paint remains in very good order overall but some portions of the
Marine Teak woodgrain cladding sports some blemishes at close
range. The rear window has power assist and a defroster
element.
The bodywork is straight, the rear cargo area is clean and the
undercarriage remains in good shape for a Wagoneer from this era.
The engine bay is satisfactory and battery looks good. The chrome
bumpers with rub strips and bumper guards are all in good
condition.
This Jeep underwent a transmission fluid flush and refill in
November 2024 as well as two new shock absorbers and four new tires
in October 2024 along with replacing the clock fuse so the radio
works.
This Jeep wears Nexen Radian ATX light truck tires, size 235/75R15
at all four corners. Each one is mounted on a factory alloy wheel.
The tires and wheels are in very good order.
Under the hood is AMC's 360 CID V-8 engine, a Series 3 tall-deck
and the final engine the company made before its sale to Chrysler.
This motor is joined to a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic
transmission backed by a Tack-Lok limited-slip differential and
Selec-Trac four-wheel drive system. Selec-Trac features a New
Process NP229 transfer case and front locking hubs.
Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power
steering, power brakes, power windows, power locks, power sideview
mirrors, tilt steering column and power front buckets.
Inside, the Jeep's tan velour and leather interior is in overall
good, original order. The front buckets, which have fold-down
center armrests, are in good shape. The matching tan carpeting is
in similar condition, as is the headliner. A leather-wrapped,
two-spoke steering wheel keeps this theme going, as do the inner
door panels and dashboard. However, the horn is inoperable. A
column-mounted shift lever and a Kenwood AM/FM stereo with CD
player and the following goodies - Rockford 12-inch, 300-watt
subwoofer, Punch 5.25 two-way components and Punch 5.25 coaxial
speakers - complete the interior.
Chrysler bought out American Motors Corporation on March 2, 1987.
At the time, AMC was already working on designing a replacement for
the antiquated SJ platform. Chrysler had other priorities and
although the Jeep J-Series pickups that shared the SJ platform and
directly competed with Chrysler's Dodge Ram pickups were
discontinued in 1988, Chrysler left the Grand Wagoneer largely
untouched over its first few years overseeing Jeep production and
even continued to build the model with the carbureted AMC V-8
instead of using its own (and arguably, more modern) fuel-injected
V-8. Year-to-year changes were minimal. At the time of Chrysler's
purchase, customer demand for the Grand Wagoneer continued to be
steady and it was a very profitable model.
Competition to this Jeep in 1988 included Chevrolet's K-5 Blazer
and Suburban, Dodge's Ramcharger, Ford's Bronco, GMC's K-5 Jimmy
and Suburban, Jeep's J10 Pickup, Range Rover 110 (Classic) and
Toyota's Land Cruiser.
Marketed as a station wagon, the pioneering design created the
luxury 4x4 niche and became known in time as a sport utility
vehicle (SUV). The four-wheel drive Wagoneer remained in production
for 29 years (1963-1991) with almost no major changes, making it
the third-longest-produced single generation in U.S. Automotive
History.
The Wagoneer debuted seven years before Land Rover launched its
Range Rover in Great Britain, 18 years before Land Rover introduced
a four-door version and 24 years before that marque came
stateside.
Documentation includes a sheaf of maintenance/repair and stereo
invoices.

Jeep Grand Wagoneer from the late 1980s. Jeep and 4x4 fans should
act fast, as we tend not to hang on to Grand Wagoneers for very
long.
