1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 54” Stretch Limousine

This chauffeur driven and professionally maintained vehicle is one of the original 12 Grand Wagoneer stretch limousines built by DaBryan Coachbuilders ordered by Jerry Morris Broadway Jeep-Eagle of Colorado. It is not a home-made clone constructed of two separate Wagoneers. This professionally built 54” stretch limousine was crafted by one of the finest coachbuilders in the world. The Jeep is an accident-free Colorado car. It was purchased from Western Coach Limousine of Steamboat Springs and is currently owned by Buck Horn Limousine, LLC, of Durango Colorado.

Options include:

Fully Loaded Grand Wagoneer

Boomerang Antenna

Trailer Hitch

Auxiliary Battery Set Up

Auxiliary Fan

Front Chauffeur Control Panel

Window Tint

Power Solid and Glass Partitions

Rear partition with power

Rear Heat

Wet Bar

Rear Stereo

Rear Mood Lighting

Rear Control Panel

Champagne Well

Ice Compartments

Twin Vanity Mirrors

And more

This “woody” is a reliable daily driver. It required basic maintenance only and I have the records that document this. The motor starts easy and runs strong. I am willing to drive and deliver the limo anywhere in the continental U.S. for a charge of $2.75 per mile. Properly tuned this Jeep averages 12 MPG. This is one of the first 12 luxury SUV limos ever produced. They were featured in Time magazine, July 15, 1985.

Text from the article follows:

Last week in Denver, Auto Dealer Jerry Morris unveiled his own very different vision of automotive high life, American-style. Equipped with a bar and Baccarat crystal, trimmed with teak and priced at $50,000, Morris' showpiece is a 19-ft.-long Jeep station wagon. The dealer bills it as the world's first stretch limousine with four-wheel drive. Morris' theory is that off-road travel should be comfortable. Said he: "People have said to me, 'Wouldn't it be nice if there were a luxury car that could be used to go through the mountains in bad weather?' With this vehicle, if we have two feet of snow, you still won't be stranded."
The luxury car is a stretched version of American Motors' Grand Wagoneer, a favorite of skiers and suburbanites. The fancier touches include a built-in champagne bucket and an 8-in. color television, but for rugged back-country terrain, the four-wheel limo also features an electronic shock-absorption system. Morris expects to find buyers for his Jeep limo among oil-well owners and ski-tour operators.

This “Colorado Cadillac” is approximately 95% original as delivered from the coachbuilder. The original fog lights were replaced by 100 watt KC driving lights. The “wag-sag” common with all Wagoneers was remedied by professionally installing a 4” Skyjacker “Soft-Ride” suspension lift including 4 new spring packs with 9-way adjustable Rancho 9000x shocks. The vinyl top was replaced as necessary on all Wagoneer limos. This top needs replacing again. The high altitude sun was hard on it. Fore and aft of the stretched section, the truck is a stock, loaded 1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with working 4WD including High/Low range. The car is currently out-of-service and stored indoors.

The problems I am aware of are rust, scratches, dings, and common oil/fluid leaks. There is wear as the limo is 28 years old. We removed components of the A/C and Emissions Systems to improve fuel efficincy. The car rented for $85/hr. before it was garaged. The coach passed the Colorado Public Utilities safety and condition inspection required for professional use. No special license or insurance is required in Colorado to drive this car privately.

I have more information, statistics and history on these historic vehicles and will be happy to share it with the winning bidder. I can provide additional photos of cosmetics of the car upon request.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of Ronald Reagan’s Grand Wagoneer limousine I’d be grateful for any information on how to contact the current owner.

Here's a link to a video I shot of another Stretch Jeep I recently sold.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
