1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Sold for $15,950 at 2017 Bonhams : Greenwich Concours.
The Jeep Wagoneer came out in 1963 and it combined the rugged attributes of a truck with the luxury and comfort of a sedan. This ground breaking vehicle was so successful that it survived until 1991.

The Wagoneer was given a body-on-frame design with solid axles and leaf springs all around. Power was sent to all four wheels via a viscous coupling center differentials allowing rear-wheel drive only operation to boost fuel economy. Based on the Jeep SJ platform, the Wagoneer was given an advanced overhead cam straight-six engine. Features included an independent front suspension, power steering and an automatic transmission.

During its 28-year plus production lifespan, the 4WD Wagoneer received only minor mechanical changes.

The Wagoneer was a successor to the Willys Jeep Station Wagon that had been built since the end of World War II.

This particular Jeep Grand Wagoneer was purchased from George 'Larry' Garvin in 1996 by a lady who had been searching for a Grand Wagoneer. Mr. Gavin had acquired it from its original owner.

In 1996 its odometer showed 109,000 miles and when it was sold by Mr. Gavin it had just over 133,000 miles. It has gained just 4,000 miles since 2005.

This Jeep is powered by a 360 cubic-inch overhead vale V8 engine fitted with a single 2-Barrel Motorcraft carburetor. It has a 3-speed automatic transmission with front vented disc brakes and rear drum hydraulic brakes with Vacuum power assist.

The Jeep Wagoneer was the first luxury 4x4, sold and produced through numerous marques from 1963 to 1991. A 'sport utility vehicle' (SUV) for decades before the term was even coined, the 4WD Wagoneer saw only minor mechanical changes during its 28-year plus production run, the third longest in U.S. automotive history.

Introduced as a successor to the Willys Jeep Station Wagon that had been built since the end of World War II, the Wagoneer pioneered the sport utility vehicle concept. In spite of its pickup truck chassis and boxy shape it was more car-like than any 4x4 on the market. Compared with offerings from General Motors, International Harvester, and Land Rover - which were producing utilitarian work-oriented vehicles with Spartan truck-like interiors, the Wagoneer's luxury set it apart. Based on the Jeep SJ platform, the revolutionary Wagoneer sported an advanced overhead cam straight-six engine and offered features unheard of at the time in any other mainstream 4WD vehicle, such as an independent front suspension, power steering, and automatic transmission. The Wagoneer made its debut seven years before Land Rover launched its Range Rover in Great Britain and 24 years before that upscale marque appeared in the United States. It was succeeded by the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
