I bought this head-turning Grand Wagoneer from a gentleman who had just acquired it at the estate of an elderly couple inTucson, Arizona. If you know anything about Grand Wagoneers, you know that it is hard to find one that doesn't look like Swiss cheese. The dry climate really protected this car's body and critical components.Since purchasing the truck a couple of years ago, I have spared no expense in reconditioning and upgrading the vehicle to make it a functional "daily driver". This includes:
- Adding Howell fuel injection - the vehicle starts the first time every time and isnoticeably more powerful than with the stock 2BBL carburetor.
- Keyless entry with remote starting - great for warming up the truck in cold winters or cooling it off in hot summers
- New A/C compressor
- Flowmaster exhaust
- FlowKooler water pump - in the hottest summer days, the truck runs at a perfect temperature
- Alpine Bluetooth receiver with hands-free microphone
- New brakerotors and pads
- New window motors
- New door lock actuators
- New Tailgate motor
Colors are obviously a matter of personal preference, but I think that the
Dark Baltic Blue on Tan is one of the most classic color combinations available in these trucks. The plush carpeting is in great shape and I bought a rubber custom-fit mat for the cargo area.I am reluctantly selling the truck because we recently moved and we do nothave room (or covered parking) for the truck. You could spend twice as much for a Wagonmaster truck that's marginally nicer, or spend half as much on another truck that needs significantly more work. It's not perfect, but I believe that this truck is as nice of a daily driver as you'll find anywhere. Feel free to email with questions. Original owners manual, 1988 factory brochure, original Jensen radio all included.
