September 9, 1989, to a schoolteacher from Lincolnton, GA, this
1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer has a fascinating ownership story. Due to
the high cost of commuting daily from Lincolnton to Augusta, the
original owner traded it in about a year later at Gerald Jones
Honda, located on Gordon Highway in Augusta, GA. The powerful 360
V8, while reliable, proved too thirsty for her daily commute.The
second owner, Mr. Cole, purchased the Wagoneer from Gerald Jones
Honda on December 13, 1990, for the considerable sum of $12,375.
The Grand Wagoneer remained with the Cole family in the Augusta
area, meticulously cared for and enjoyed by the same family for
over three decades. The Cole family provided a sizeable history
file of routine maintenance, ownership history, sales does, and
expenditures the last few years reconditioning the aesthetics of
this Wagoneer. Unmolested and rust free, this Wagoneer is a unicorn
on the market. The only upgrade is the Kenwood KDC-X302 head unit
(although the original comes with the sale) and a pair of Kenwood
Excelon 5.25' Coax speakers.This particular Grand Wagoneer is
finished in Midnight Blue Metallic, with the signature faux
woodgrain paneling that defined the iconic look of this luxury SUV.
It sits on 14-spoke 15x7 alloy wheels, which perfectly complement
its rugged, yet refined appearance. Traction stays on the ground
thanks to the 235/75R15 Hankook Optima H724 tires that provide a
quiet on road ride.Interior and DimensionsThe interior boasts a
luxurious Tan leather upholstery with Cumberland Cord fabric
inserts, offering a blend of comfort and retro style. The spacious
cabin provides ample room for passengers and cargo, making it ideal
for family trips and adventures. The front power seats are plush
and comfortable for any driving conditions. The deep plush tan
carpets are in great condition and the headliner was replaced by
Redmond's Auto Upholstery in Augusta, GA. The luxury touches and
woodgrain finishes make every detail of this car the perfect
vehicle for recapturing the 1980's in style! An aftermarket
cupholder (popular throughout the 90's) is placed on top of the
transmission tunnel and not permanently mounted. The ash tray shows
zero signs of smoking and is immaculately clean.Front headroom:
