MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to present another late-model edition of the first luxury sport-utility vehicle before the term SUV came into wide use, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Revered by its fans, the Wagoneer had a 28-year production run with only minor mechanical changes during that time. The Jeep Wagoneer has become a huge piece of American pop culture as the models have been featured in numerous movies and TV shows. This example was made at American Motors’ Toledo, Ohio factory (VIN code T). Its a Jeep thing!!!
Dressed in Sterling Silver Metallic (code BA or HA4), this Jeep’s paint and trim are in overall excellent condition with minimal flaws. Nineteen eighty-eight marked the debut year for every paint color to have a clearcoat layer above it. Riding on a 109-inch wheelbase, the truck’s bodywork is straight and solid, its engine bay is tidy, the rear cargo area is better-than-decent condition and the chrome bumpers look great. This big rig rolls on whitewall radials, size 235/75R15 at all four corners. Each tire wraps around factory wheels. The tires are in very good shape while the wheels are in original condition.
Under the hood is a 360 CID V-8 engine. The 360 was the last AMC V-8 to be manufactured. It continued to be produced after Chrysler bought American Motors in 1987 as the standard engine in the Jeep Grand Wagoneer through 1991, with the only modification being the “360” casting replaced with “5.9L” on the side of the block. This motor is bolted to a Torqueflite three-speed automatic transmission and a 2.73 rear end. In addition, there is Selec-Trac four-wheel drive with Dana model 44 full-floating front axle, multi-leaf special springs and AMC semi-floating solid axle with multi-leaf special springs in back. Driver convenience features include multiple power assists – steering, brakes, six-way front seats, mirrors, locks, windows and mirrors plus air-conditioning and cruise control.
Inside, the Jeep’s burgundy interior is in overall very good condition. The front and rear seats look great while the matching carpet is in satisfactory order. The big wagon’s headliner looks great, as does the steering wheel. The instrument panel is in very good order while the inner door liners are in satisfactory order. Completing the interior is a factory AM/FM stereo.
Despite its advancing age the Grand Wagoneer remained popular. Chrysler largely left it untouched over its few years overseeing Grand Wagoneer production from the final setup under AMC’s watch, and even continued to build the Grand Wagoneer with the carbureted AMC V-8 instead of its own (arguably, more modern) fuel-injected V-8. Year-to-year changes were minimal. At the time of Chrysler’s purchase, customer demand for the Grand Wagoneers continued to be steady.
The 1987–1991 model years are considered the “best of the breed” due to a number of upgrades. These include upgraded wood siding and modernized aluminum wheels that lost their gold colored inlays in favor of gunmetal grey metallic. All exterior colors were now applied in a two-stage base-clearcoat system.
Documentation includes original owner’s manual. Competition to this Jeep in 1988 included Chevrolet’s K5 Blazer, Ford’s Bronco, GMC’s K5 Jimmy and indirectly, Dodge’s Ramcharger.
If you’re looking for a classic body-on-frame SUV to replace your previous one or if you’re a Jeep fan who can always use another Grand Wagoneer, be sure to stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars soon to look at this one. In our experience, these much-loved trucks do not linger.

About Jeep
The history of Jeep is a tale of rugged innovation and an iconic journey from its roots as a military workhorse to its various civilian versions, including American competitors to the Range Rover.The Birth of the Jeep:
The Jeep story began during World War II when the U.S. Army put out a call for a small, versatile, four-wheel-drive vehicle. Several American automakers responded, but the Willys-Overland company, along with its partner Ford, ultimately won the contract. The result was the Willys MB, an agile and tough vehicle that quickly earned the nickname "Jeep." The name's origin is a subject of some debate, but it's believed to have been derived from the military phonetic alphabet's "GP" designation, which stood for "General Purpose" or "Government Purpose."
World War II Service:
Jeeps became the backbone of the American military, serving in various roles from reconnaissance to medical transport. Their durability, four-wheel-drive capability, and ease of maintenance made them invaluable during the war. They were used in all theaters of the conflict and left an indelible mark on military history.
Post-War Transition:
After World War II, many surplus military Jeeps found their way into civilian hands, and their utility became evident beyond the battlefield. Recognizing this potential, Willys-Overland began producing the CJ (Civilian Jeep) series, starting with the CJ-2A in 1945. These early civilian Jeeps retained their military roots but were adapted for farm, ranch, and off-road use. They soon gained popularity among outdoor enthusiasts and those in need of a rugged, capable vehicle.
The Jeep Brand Expands:
Over the decades, the Jeep brand continued to evolve, introducing a wide range of models to cater to different consumer needs. The Jeep Wagoneer, introduced in 1963, was one of the earliest luxury SUVs and a competitor to the Range Rover, offering four-wheel drive and a comfortable ride.
The Jeep Cherokee, introduced in 1974, was a pioneering compact SUV that combined off-road capability with on-road comfort. Its success laid the foundation for the modern SUV segment.
In 1984, Jeep introduced the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which further advanced the brand's presence in the luxury SUV market. The Grand Cherokee was designed to deliver a refined driving experience without sacrificing its off-road prowess.
Jeep Wrangler, which evolved from the CJ series, has remained a steadfast symbol of off-road capability and rugged adventure. The Wrangler has garnered a devoted following of enthusiasts who appreciate its simplicity and go-anywhere attitude.
Jeep Renegade, Jeep Compass, and Jeep Gladiator are examples of modern Jeep models that cater to a wide range of consumer preferences and market segments.
American Competitors to the Range Rover:
While Jeep has produced various models to compete in the luxury SUV market, including the Grand Cherokee, they have also faced competition from American automakers like Cadillac and Lincoln, which have introduced their own luxury SUVs to compete with the Range Rover. These vehicles offer a blend of comfort, technology, and off-road capability, making them alternatives to the Range Rover for American consumers.
In conclusion, the history of Jeep is a story of adaptability and innovation, with the brand transitioning from its military origins to become a symbol of rugged individualism and adventure. Jeep's ability to blend off-road capability with on-road comfort has made it a respected and iconic American brand in the world of 4x4 vehicles.
