Still Time To Put A Bow On This One For Christmas !
Grand Wagoneer by Classic Gentleman, internationally recognized as a leading buyer and seller of low mile, excellent condition Wagoneers, presents this 1987 elegant “Champagne Edition” Grand Wagoneer.
As most Wagoneer enthusiasts discover when they stop for gas or at the convenience store- these classic vehicles draw a crowd full of compliments and interesting questions, especially when they are in excellent condition. All are “show-stoppers”, but few compare to the comments about this elegant “ Champagne Edition.” This gorgeous finish was applied to the Grand Wagoneer for only four years of its production run and in limited numbers compared to the more common colors. How difficult are low mile excellent examples to find? This is the “ single example “ in our inventory- ever. I found my wife’s comment interesting when she saw it, “ That’s the gold tennis bracelet of Wagoneers.” I have to admit, it does sparkle. We spent over FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($15,000) on this Grand raising her to Classic Gentleman Status, money well spent on a true classic.
This handsome example has been enjoyed by the same owner for the last 25 years. A careful caretaker who kept everything from the original window sticker and owner’s manuals down to state inspection invoices reaching far back into the prior decade. Those state inspection receipts detail the low 95,899 original miles rising slowly over the years. All in all, this one averaged just over 3,000 miles per year. Carfax and Autocheck likewise confirm no accidents ever reported.
The Champagne Metallic Exterior paint has just been applied and is as handsome in person as the images project. We also completely removed the factory installed wood trim and wood siding and replaced both with new, sourced from Team Grand Wagoneer. The balance of the exterior chrome and aluminum bits are original and while not in brand new condition, exhibit just normal wear and aging reflecting the overall low actual miles. Even the whitewall tires she rolls on are brand new.
The Grand’s cabin is as sharp as the outside wrapper. The tan leather seats are in excellent condition with the original carpeting, door panels, dash and headliner still present in very good form with only light wear evident. (The one exception is wear underneath the rear passenger’s side floor mat but the floor mat itself covers the missing carpet spot).We did install a complete new carpet set in the cargo area, including the cargo floor, interior tailgate and carpeted sides. The air conditioning, heat, AM/FM/CD stereo, all power windows, power seats, power door locks and cruise control, all the way down to the lighted vanity mirror, are all functioning properly. Just the terribly designed by some Muppet outside power mirrors are not operating and need to be adjusted manually. Finding replacement parts for them have proved to be our Dunkirk.
Not counting all the monies we invested in the exterior cosmetic works, we have also just spent over SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($7,000.00) in just finished mechanical and electrical sorting.
The V8 360ci engine, transmission and the 4 wheel High and Low settings have all been serviced and are performing just as they should. We have four full pages of precisely detailed garage service invoices covering all the mechanical and electrical works that were organized and sorted. Those just completed invoices are available to interested parties, upon request. We don’t spend monies on the appearances of engine bays and undercarriages as most all of our buyers are planning on driving and enjoying these Grands regularly. Normal wear, aging and surface rust will be present there but all will pass stringent New York State inspection guidelines.
Why buy from a Grand Wagoneer specialist? For us the answer is simple- our entire focus is on Grand Wagoneers and we know these unique vehicles inside and out. When you purchase a Classic Gentleman Wagoneer it has been thoroughly inspected, serviced from head to tail and all necessary work completed by professional mechanics, some with over forty years of Wagaoneer experience. We purchase fine example Jeeps from a variety of sources including other dealers and private parties. We are often told by the seller, “My Jeep is excellent and needs nothing” however, being in this profession, we know to expect and plan for a great deal of sorting. Our average service bills per unit range from $4000 to $10,000 and these costs do not include cosmetic restoration to the exterior/interior. A far reach from needing nothing. Remember the average age of these vehicles is thirty years more or less, and even with loving care many mechanical parts have aged and worn accordingly. Purchase a Wagoneer from a source other than a specialist and odds are that you may experience servicing and repair costs that may dampen your joy and enthusiasm for that Wagoneer that you always wanted. You may only own one of these in your lifetime, while we buy, fully sort and sell nearly 60 per year. That is a lot of practice and when a Classic Gentleman Grand Wagoneer arrives at your home, it is a special occasion. It will be in beautiful condition and ready to drive and enjoy. Yes, our sales are as-is, but as you will see from our detailed service invoices, she has been looked after from nose to tail. Our goal is to see that the joy and enthusiasm of Grand Wagoneer ownership begins immediately with your purchase and that it will be there for years to come.
