1982 Jeep Wagoneer Limited

Description

This 1982 Jeep Wagoneer Limited is from one of the most ideal years to own this classic full-size adventure machine. And as you dig into the details, you'll see this V8-powered 4x4 is an exceptionally preserved/presented example where you can see the investments were about maintaining the vintage attitude that makes these a true icon.

We bet this 4x4 is one of the big reasons why Jeep brought back the Wagoneer. They saw how the popularity of these never wavered even as the number of choice examples dwindled. So pay close attention, because this one has what you want. It's part of a few years where the Wagoner's design is often considered the most desirable. You have the updated square headlight front end with a billet-like grille in a wave-like form. And the later 12-spoke alloys are an icon of these Wagoneers. But the rear still has the classic design with the wraparound tail lights. The Jamaican Beige paint is believed to be largely original, and the same goes for the wood-like side trim. It even looks like there's still the original dealer tag on the rear. It's clean, complete, and attractive with just the right mix of touch-ups and aged-in touches to make sure it is proudly vintage. And you'll appreciate the little things, like the wood-like decal on the luggage rack, campsite-ready fold-down tailgate, and the Limited badges that show this classic is the forerunner to the Grand Wagoneer.

The nutmeg brown interior carries similar tones to the wood trim of the exterior, and so this has a natural feeling inside and out - and that's always cool on a Jeep. The Limited is all about making you and your passengers truly comfortable. That means leather seats with velour inserts. The front ones power adjust, and there's adult-size legroom in the rear. You also have power windows, power locks, and provisions for air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) There's even a new headliner. It's a preserved and respected interior, and so you get details often missing from others, like the rear cargo privacy screen and Jeep AMC logo floor mats. And a premium feature that really defines the era is the AM/FM radio with integrated CB. It's currently display-only and it's there to impress vintage fans, right down to the factory-style tag on the mic cord. And while vintage, it's also a terrific cruiser for modern times thanks to features like the tilt steering column, a proper gauge panel, and cruise control.

The Jeep/AMC 360 cubic-inch V8 has been a long-standing powerhouse utilized by some legendary stout vehicles. And this one also shows the right maintenance, including a remanufactured carburetor. So it remains a strong runner, and the two-speed transfer case for the four-wheel-drive system makes this feel like it's ready for its next adventure. But with the power steering, power brakes, front discs, and smooth three-speed automatic transmission, this is also still ready for the morning commute.

The sale comes complete with the original warranty card and other original info. Sure, the new Wagoneer is nice, but we don't need to tell you the added stature that comes from owning the original. After all, you park this next to a loaded 2022 Grand Wagoneer, and we bet the crowds won't even pay attention to that $100k machine. So it's time to be vintage and correct with a well-preserved and well-presented Wagoneer Limited. Call today!!!
