Call, Text or Email with any questions: 208-696-1128 Additional Details:The Jeep Grand Wagoneer was pretty much the origin of the ultra-luxury SUV, and if you've been paying attention lately, trucks like this 1984 Grand Wagoneer have become hot properties. With just 127,000 original miles, this handsome wagon is both supremely capable and totally traditional in the most American way possible: wood paneling. Except for maybe a few PT Cruisers, the Grand Wagoneer was probably the last US-made vehicle to feature wood paneling on its flanks. It looks right, giving the upscale Jeep a country club demeanor and a traditional look that goes all the way back to the earliest woodies. Sure, it's pure style, but what isn't these days? And with so few miles, this Grand Wagoneer is in fantastic condition with good paint that's one of the most popular colors today. The woodgrained decals are in excellent condition with no peeling or fading and aside from some of those inevitable polishing marks in the paint, it looks far younger than 25 years old. The shape dates to the 1960s, but with chrome bumpers, a hood ornament, a big grille, and stainless window surrounds, the biggest Jeep was able to move upscale and realistically be mentioned in the same breath as the Range Rover. It doesn't appear to have ever been wrecked or rusty and the doors close with a remarkably precise feel, a rare feat for anything built by AMC. The rugged exterior contrasts neatly with the handsome tan cloth and leather interior, which is as plush as a contemporary Cadillac and loaded with luxury features. There's plenty of room in the spacious cabin, so road trips are a genuine pleasure, and with such niceties as power windows, locks, and seats, cruise control, a tilt wheel, and A/C (which could use a recharge), it won't ever feel like you're ''roughing it'' in this Grand Wagoneer. The seats are in excellent condition with only slight comfort marks on the leather portions of the outer bolsters and the back seat looks almost completely untouched. Plush carpets are a bit faded, which is inevitable with anything tan but they're in good condition and help keep the inside of the Grand Wagoneer quiet and comfortable. An AM/FM/cassette stereo system dates the truck but works rather well and you get a full dash full of analog instruments that are easy to read. The rear compartment is positively huge and beautifully tailored with stainless rub strips to protect the carpet. AMC's biggest V8, a 360 cubic incher topped with a 2-barrel carburetor, was standard equipment. Its specifications may seem modest, but it's incredibly torquey and doesn't mind crawling around in the dirt. It has a hushed exhaust note befitting its upscale luxury mission and it has proven its durability inside Jeeps for decades. It's nicely maintained and runs well, and a tune-up would probably make it so smooth you couldn't feel it running. It's definitely clean under the hood and under the body, showing no signs of winter weather or harsh off-road conditions, and thanks to a recent exhaust system, it sounds just right. Jeep's sophisticated all-wheel-drive system was way ahead of most of the competition in 1984 with a 3-speed automatic transmission and a set of 2.72 gears, so it's a great highway cruiser. Handsome alloy wheels are a familiar look and they're wrapped in 235/75/15 radials for just the right upscale look. You'll note that prices on good Grand Wagoneers are skyrocketing. There's a finite supply of good, low-mileage units like this, and we'll wager that this one won't last long at all. What are you waiting for, bid now! Why Now’s the Time to Buy a 1984-1991 Jeep Grand WagoneerArticle from Bloomberg.com - August 26, 2015Original Article: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-08-26/why-now-s-the-time-to-buy-a-1984-1991-jeep-grand-wagoneer The original luxury SUV is experiencing a boom in the vintage market, and prices will likely only go up when the new remake emerges in 2018 The Jeep Grand Wagoneer was the world’s first luxury SUV. Lined with plush leather, thick carpeting, a cushy ride, a fancy stereo, and power-operated everything—doors, seats, windows, even the tailgate glass—it was capable of transforming, at the flick of a switch, from an insulated freeway cruiser to an all-wheel-drive snow- and mud-conquering monster. The stylish family car was not only a prescient innovator in the marketplace, carving out space for players such as Land Rover’s Range Rover, but it also had something for everyone. The Grand Wagoneer was the final evolution in one of the longest-running, unchanged vehicle designs in automotive history, tracing its roots—and just about every one of its body panels—back to Brooks Stevens’s trapezoidal Jeep Wagoneer of 1963. (Fun facts: Stevens also designed the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and Harley-Davidson’s influential post-World War II motorcycles, and is credited with bringing to prominence the color robin’s-egg blue, which he used on his kitchen appliance designs in the 1950s.)“It has always been a bit of a preppy vehicle, at least as far as your part of the world, the Northeast, is concerned,” says Chip Miller, who, along with his founder father, Leon, runsWagonmaster, a Kerrville (Texas) shop dedicated to buying and selling the world’s finest low-mileage vintage Grand Wagoneers. “When you get down here in our part of the world, it was a great ranch vehicle, to be able to drive around the ranch, and then still get on the highway and get into town, so we used them in agriculture.”The classic angular appearance of the Jeep was part of its attraction back when it was originally on the market, and it continues to hold appeal for contemporary collectors. The signature fake-wood paneling along its flanks—harking back to a time when big wagons had real wood bodies—is also evocative of a sentimental, but honest all-American past. “Most of it is nostalgia. It delivers warm, fuzzy feelings,” Miller says of the vehicle. “Great times at the beach, at the lake, at the ski place at the mountains, at fishing trips with dad.”Interestingly enough, it is in just these kinds of upscale, vacation-oriented locales that Miller sees the highest concentration of his sales. “Strongholds,” he calls them. “Long Island, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod, upstate New York. The ski areas of Colorado, Aspen and Vail. Sun Valley, Idaho.” But this was always a car for the privileged; at the end of its run in the early 1990s, 58 percent of its buyers were college-educated, and they had a median income of $98,200, one of the highest of any vehicle then on the market.The nostalgia is almost certainly limited to the looks—the SUVs were notoriously difficult to keep running, and family memories of them likely include more than a few trips to the shop. But with teams like Miller's reworking the engines, ones on the market today may very well be more reliable than one that came off the assembly line in the 1980s.Vintage trucks have recently become the fastest-growing segment of the collectible vehicle market, and classic Grand Wagoneers have seen a concomitant spike in prices. Wagonmaster opened 20 years ago, but, according to Miller, it didn’t sell its first vehicle for over $20,000 until 2000, and prices have continued to climb since then. “In 2010 our average sale price was just north of $30,000,” he says. “Our average last year was just over $50,000.” Other restorers at sites like Wagoneer World and Grand Wagoneer rare pricing their vehicles similarly, or higher. Some listings approach the $70,000 mark.
