Jeep is known for its tough, go-anywhere approach to building 4x4s. In the early Sixties they introduced the Wagoneer model, which was a luxury 4x4 to counter the increasing competition from other manufacturers in the 4x4 space. Penned by industrial designer Brooks Stevens, the first Wagoneer rolled off the lines in November 1962, as a 1963 model. The Super Wagoneer of 1966 built on the luxury ethos, and 1984’s Grand Wagoneer topped it. Based on the Jeep Cherokee XJ, the Grand Wagoneer came with many luxurious features as standard such as standard air conditioning, four-speaker radio cassette, leather wrapped steering, power windows, dual electric front bucket seats and overhead console with compass and thermometer. On the outside, the design included the iconic ‘simulated woodgrain’ exterior panels that make these cars recognizable at a glance. This is a 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer has undergone a custom rebuild by Rebel Motor Company. Grand Wagoneers are being recognized as desirable classics and their collectability, as well as value are on the rise so this example would be a prudent purchase at this time.

Exterior and Interior

Sporting a brown exterior punctuated by iconic wood trim, this 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer will spark fond memories from those who grew up in the Sixties, Seventies, and Eighties. You see, wood trim, or 'woodies', were popular on vehicles in those decades and typically were the preserve of luxury or upper trim levels. The current owner reports that the exterior trim pieces, including the lovely wood accents, were replaced in 2017. We also see a chrome roof rack has been installed to augment the already generous cargo space afforded by the five-door station-wagon style body of the Grand Wagoneer. Inside, there's ample space for an entire family, their luggage, and pets, with a spacious trunk area behind the two rows of seating. There's said to be a new tan interior, as well as new carpeting, both of which were installed in 2017. Another 2017 addition is the custom radio and sound system, which sees a modern Pioneer head unit taking pride of place. Offering CD, AUX, and USB connections plus regular FM radio, you'll never be wanting for sources of music. Other amenities include power windows, power door locks, power mirrors and power-adjustable front seats. There's even bi-level climate control with air conditioning to keep everyone comfortable and a brightness adjuster for the interior and instrument panel lights.

Engine

Sporting a 360ci Jasper V8, this 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer has enough power and torque to take you through your daily life with ease. An automatic transmission sends drive to the wheels via a two-speed transfer case, ensuring that you can venture off-road whenever desired. Front and rear disc brakes are present for sure-footed stopping prowess, while power steering makes maneuvering and parking this classic 4x4 a breeze.
