The professional seller offers for sale this 1985 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, powered by a 5.9-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. The Wagoneer is one of the longest-running designs in automotive history, built with only incremental changes from 1963 until 1991. In the 1980s it was marketed as the Grand Wagoneer, the luxurious flagship of Jeep’s range, and it is often regarded as the forerunner of the luxury SUV, combining four-wheel drive with a well-equipped interior and the simulated woodgrain side and tailgate panels that became its trademark.
This example is described by the seller as an all-original survivor still wearing its first paint, in brown with white and woodgrain trim, and as a highly optioned car. The seller reports that the body shows no significant rust, and recommends it as a candidate for a new paint job and new front seat upholstery. The 360 cubic inch V8 is paired with an automatic transmission and Selec-Trac four-wheel drive, as the badges on the tailgate and fenders show. The tyres are all recent, mounted on the original aluminium wheels, and the seller describes the car as well maintained.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in tan, with a woodgrain dashboard, a large steering wheel, a radio, climate controls and tan door panels with wood-effect inlays. The seats show wear, with the front seat upholstery in need of renewal. A carpeted load area and a rear bench seat offer plenty of room for passengers and luggage, and the spare wheel is shown mounted underneath.
For anyone looking for a rare and rewarding classic SUV with a reliable V8 and the chance to bring it back to its former glory, this Grand Wagoneer is an appealing starting point.
