1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer on 2040-cars

For Auction is a 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.  This Jeep is in great condition for a 26 year old vehicle.  It lived its whole life in Colorado.  It looks and drives great.  The reserve price is reasonable.

Mechanically, the Jeep has been gone through top to bottom.  It recently passed strict Colorado emission testing with flying colors.  All of the original emission control equipment is intact and functional.  The engine is strong and starts easily.  The 4 wheel drive and cruise control work as they should.  The transmission shifts smoothly.  The Jeep drives very well.

The interior is in great condition.  The leather seats are not torn.  A/C blows ice cold.  All power windows including tailgate were recently serviced and work well.  Power seats work perfectly.  Power door locks are sometimes a little sticky but work well.  The headliner is sagging but not torn.  The carpet in the rear cargo area is torn in the corners.  The power mirror switch is faulty.  The windshield wiper system is "sticky" but works fine.

The exterior looks very good,  There is almost no rust except for two small spots as shown in the pictures on the front fender and rear quarter panel.  The wood surround is in very good shape for the age, the paneling has some peeling. The paint is fading on the left side and the clear coat is peeling on the roof and some other areas. The frame and under-body have virtually no rust. 

Many new parts were recently installed for the following systems:
Emissions:  A California compliant catalytic converter (over $400), carbon canister, EGR valve, PCV valve, special curved PCV hose, miscellaneous vacuum hoses.
Suspension: Rancho shocks, steering stabilizer, transmission mount.
Cooling: Water pump, thermostat, radiator hoses, heater hoses, heater core, fan clutch, used radiator with low miles.
Fuel system: Fuel pump, accelerator pump, fuel filter, misc fuel lines.
Ignition system: spark plug wires, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, ignition coil, battery.
Engine mechanical: drive belts, valve cover gaskets.
Trim: Outer window wipes, and inner tailgate wipe.
The transmission fluid and filter were recently serviced, as well as differential fluids, and front wheel bearings.

There are some issues to be expected on a 26 year old vehicle.  The engine and transmission do have minor leaks as could be expected on a vehicle of this age.  It will need a muffler soon, all other exhaust components are in excellent condition.  The tires are "out of round" from sitting but still have 90% tread.

I have been as thorough as possible in the description, so a potential buyer can bid with confidence.  I believe that this is a very nice example of  these classic Jeeps.  It would be a great candidate for a complete restoration, or just driven as is.  It should have no trouble passing safety or emission inspection in any state. 
I recently drove this Jeep from Colorado to Connecticut, over 1500 miles and wouldn't hesitate driving it across country again.
