This 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer is restored and ready for that big family trip. Jeep’s classic styling and massive sightlines make this a viable daily driver. The Wagoneer was introduced in 1962 for the then-ailing luxury 4x4 niche and completely revitalized it. The secret to the Wagoneer’s success? It was a 4-wheel drive SUV that sat on a pickup truck’s chassis and drove like a compact car. This ease of handling makes it ideal for anyone looking for something a little different to take the kids to soccer practice in.

Exterior and Interior

This example has been redone and modernized to make it even more desirable and dependable on the road. With new exterior paint to match its new wood grain trim, it is as close to fresh off the assembly line as is possible. New exterior lights and windshield give you better visibility and modern safety. The interior is all new and created from “old stock” seat insert material directly from 1987. New carpet, upholstery and a new headliner round out the luxury comforts that are unique for a vintage SUV like this. A bluetooth stereo and kicker speakers replace the tape deck and paper cones that came standard back in the 80’s.

Engine

The 5.9 litre V8 that powers this example puts out 144 horsepower to all 4 wheels for next-level power and handling. 280 lb-ft of torque is more than enough for all kinds of terrain. The Motorcraft 2-barrel carb keeps the gas and oxygen mixture right for high performance. The engine sits on a chassis with a 109 inch wheelbase with full time 4x4 traction. The power train is controlled by a 3-speed automatic transmission with a steering column-mounted shifter. With only 2 previous owners and so many updates, this Wagoneer is like stepping back in time.
