1989 jeep grand wagoneer sj wagon

This Jeep Grand Wagoneer is a charismatic and sought-after modern classic American 4x4. Under the bonnet sits a 360-cubic inch (5.9-litre) AMC V8, which sends its power to all four wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. This example was converted to right-hand drive from new when it was imported into Australia from the US, and has been with the seller and reportedly third owner for four years. This first generation ‘SJ’ Grand Wagoneer is believed to be one of the original 25 models imported into Australia in 1989 to compete with the Range Rover. The odometer shows 131,843 Kms from new. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES Originally painted in a dark red hue, this Grand Wagoneer has been refinished in the eye-catching shade of Spinnaker Blue Metallic, over a burgundy leather and corduroy cloth-trimmed interior, featuring wood-effect inlays and chrome trim accents. It rides on a set of 15-inch multi-spoke machined alloy wheels with coloured Jeep centre caps, and fitted with Cooper Discoverer A/T3 tyres. Equipment includes twin front spotlights, a roof rack with rails, a rear screen wiper, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, an AccuSound by Jensen sound system, electrically adjustable front seats, a top-tinted windscreen, air conditioning, push-out front quarter light windows, power steering, an adjustable tilt steering column, a dual-note high/low pitch horn, electric windows, and switchable four-wheel drive. The car has been fitted with window tints, and a Sony touch-screen media system with Bluetooth connectivity. It also now boasts REDARC towing capabilities. The car comes with a 1989 Grand Wagoneer owner’s handbook. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The car is pristine. A full exterior and part interior respray was carried out in 2023, and the carpets and seat upholstery are reported to be original. The seller notes that the fuse in the automatic side mirrors has blown and has not yet been replaced. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted on 4 June 2024, which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories.
