1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

Description

The 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer is that ideal classic 4x4 that mixes big comfort with serious vintage appeal. So as these become increasingly popular, it's great to find an example that is quite complete and has even had the right investments made over the last few years.

The Grand Wagoneer has never gone out of style, but as Jeep rolls out the new line, we get extra nostalgic for the original. And these final years of the first Wagoneer are often seen as the most desirable. The style had a chiseled look born out of a rugged utility vehicle but evolved into a stoic elegance. Some of that stylishness is also seen in the paint. Gray always has a timeless appeal, and this is an upgraded respray with excellent gloss and metallic radiance. There was also a later investment in the detailed wood veneers running down the sides and rear. We're not talking about a show car because that doesn't fit a classic Wagoneer's image. Instead, it knows how to seat attention at the stoplight from those driving expensive crossovers while keeping a real ruggedness that makes those people jealous. There's even a vintage look on the brightwork, including the large bumpers, wide grille, full trim package, and luggage rack. And this whole idea of both stylishness and ruggedness comes together nicely on the 12-spoke, 6-lug wheels.

The maroon interior looks stylish against the gray exterior. After all, we see cars like modern BMWs with a steel gray exterior and a red leather interior. But this isn't about being a European poser. It's a proper American utility vehicle made for size, versatility, and comfort. The smooth dash, taut headliner, and plush seating make this inviting. And while this has seating for up to six people, you'll be perfectly happy cruising solo thanks to the bucket seat up front with a folding armrest. These front seats even power adjust to the ideal comfort position. Other nice luxuries include power windows, cruise control, and a fold-down tailgate ideal for ballgames. And just in case you feel like bringing anything from a camper to a grille along on your adventures, there's a proper trailer hitch on the back.

The Jeep/AMC 360 cubic-inch V8 has been a long-standing powerhouse utilized by some legendary stout vehicles. It has a highly original presentation on what's believed to be an actual miles vehicle. But the key to longevity with these hardy motors is good maintenance. We're told within the last few years; this one has received new items like the radiator (2016), rear main seal (2016), trans gaskets (2016), trans mount (2017), a carburetor (2017), starter (2018), and a fresh oil change (March 2023). The three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs are good cruising features. Plus, the two-speed transfer case four-wheel-drive system means this is a true 4x4 Jeep.

The sale comes complete with maintenance records and service manuals. The value price is there in case you want to update the motor, restore the air conditioning, polish the bumpers, or add any personal touches. But you already know this is an impressive Grand Wagoneer offered for the kind of price that we likely won't see again for these appreciating classics. That's why you can't miss this deal. Call now!
