Before “luxury SUV” became a marketing term, there was the Grand Wagoneer. And by 1988, Jeep had it dialed in—V8 power, real four-wheel drive, leather and wood inside, and a shape that has become truly iconic. While not the kind of luxury SUV we’ve grown accustomed to, the Grand Wagoneer was the first comfortable and easy-to-live-with big SUV. Today, these rigs are highly sought after and for good reason!
This one is described as a true barn find, and the photos back that up. It shows 114,324 miles, wears its age honestly, and appears largely original throughout. The interior is a standout here, with original leather seating, factory trim, and the kind of wear you’d expect from careful use rather than neglect. It hasn’t been restored, reupholstered, or customized, which is exactly what many buyers are looking for.
Under the hood is Jeep’s familiar AMC 360 V8, backed by a 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission. According to the seller, it’s been tuned and is ready to go off-road, and it’s riding on new tires. This isn’t a parked relic—it’s a Grand Wagoneer that still does Grand Wagoneer things.
From what can be seen of the outside, the truck appears to present well. The classic woodgrain remains in place, the body appears straight, and the stance looks right. It’s not a freshly detailed showpiece, but it doesn’t need to be. This is the kind of Wagoneer people want to drive, improve over time, and enjoy as-is.
If you’ve been watching the Grand Wagoneer market, you already know what’s happening. Clean, original examples are getting harder to find, and prices continue to climb—especially for trucks that haven’t been over-restored or turned into something they’re not. This one still feels like a survivor that you can drive and enjoy.
It’s being offered here as a Barn Finds Auction, and it should appeal to anyone who appreciates originality, usability, and the timeless appeal of Jeep’s flagship SUV. Take a close look through the photos and let us know what you think—would you preserve it, lightly improve it, or just put miles on it the way Jeep intended?
