Vehicle Description
*1968 Jeep Wagoneer*Although people credit the Range Rover as the
first luxury SUV, the reality is that Jeep had them beat by more
than a decade. With a 29 year production run, the Wagoneer
underwent a number of redesigns, with the wood-paneled variant
being the most well known. But, the earlier examples featured
extremely unique and attractive styling, along with a host of great
engines. This 1968 example is from the first re-design of the
Wagoneer, which was launched in 1967.Finished in a stunning shade
of red with a black houndstooth interior, this Wagoneer was subject
to a body off restoration by marque experts Jeep Farm in Arizona.
Although this car was restored to look very original on the
exterior, while under the care of Jeep Farm, numerous upgrades were
carried out beneath the surface to make it both better to use and
more reliable. The beautiful red body is contrasted by a set of
white painted steel wheels with stainless-steel hubcaps, wrapped in
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires. These wheels are connected to a
set of 1982 Wagoneer axles front and rear, which are extra sturdy
and give the benefit of power steering. At the rear, a modern tow
hitch receiver with electronic hookups has been addedThe interior
is a very classic combination of black vinyl and black/white
houndstooth on both the front and rear bench seats. A two-spoke
steering wheel frames a simple white-on-black speedometer that is
set within an aluminum panel, and the black dashboard provides a
great, unobstructed view of the road in front of you. The original
looking stereo has been updated with hidden USB and Bluetooth
capabilities.Under the hood is a 350 cubic inch "Dauntless" V8
which was sourced from Buick and was a two-year only option on the
Wagoneer. This numbers matching powerplant has been updated with a
Howell EFI system with an engine control module that makes the car
run smoother while improving power and efficiency. Power is then
sent through a rebuilt 3-speed automatic to all four wheels. On the
transmission tunnel inside the Wagoneer is a lever for the
Shiftable 4 wheel drive with a two speed transfer case, and the
front wheels have manual locking hubs. To slow the truck down, disc
brakes have been fitted on all four wheels.With the rapidly growing
market for vintage sport utility vehicles, the early Wagoneers like
this one, present a unique and rare option, with enough space to
fit the entire family. This example benefits from a comprehensive
restoration and offers a fun driving experience, without
sacrificing modern comfort and reliability.*Key Features* *
