The Jeep Grand Wagoneer was pretty much the origin of the ultra-luxury SUV, nd if you've been paying attention lately, rucks like this 1990 Grand Wagoneer have become hot properties. With just 36,067 original miles, his handsome black wagon is both supremely capable and totally traditional in the most American way possible: wood paneling.Except for maybe a few PT Cruisers, he Grand Wagoneer was probably the last US-made vehicle to feature wood paneling on its flanks. It looks right, iving the upscale Jeep a country club demeanor and a traditional look that goes all the way back to the earliest woodies. Sure, t's pure style, ut what isn't these days? And with so few miles, his Grand Wagoneer is in fantastic condition with glossy black 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 black paint, t looks far younger than 25 years old. The shape dates to the 1960s, ut with chrome bumpers, hood ornament, big grille, nd stainless window surrounds, he 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, rare feat for anything built by AMC. The rugged exterior contrasts neatly with the handsome burgundy cloth and leather interior, hich is as plush as a contemporary Cadillac and loaded with luxury features. There's plenty of room in the spacious cabin, o road trips are a genuine pleasure, nd with such niceties as power windows, ocks, nd seats, ruise control, tilt wheel, nd A/C (which could use a recharge), t 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, hich is inevitable with anything red, ut 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, 360 cubic incher topped with a 2-barrel carburetor, as standard equipment. Its specifications may seem modest, ut 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, nd 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, howing no signs of winter weather or harsh off-road conditions, nd thanks to a recent exhaust system, t sounds just right. Jeep's sophisticated all-wheel-drive system was way ahead of most of the competition in 1990, ith a 3-speed automatic transmission and a set of 2.72 gears, o it's a great highway cruiser. Handsome alloy wheels are a familiar look and they're wrapped in 235/75/15 whitewall 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, ow-mileage units like this, nd we'll wager that this one won't last long at all. What are you waiting for, all now!
