Grand Wagoneer by Classic Gentleman, internationally recognized as a leading buyer, restorer and seller of low mile, excellent condition Grand Wagoneers, presents this low 81,400 original mile 1985 Colorado Red Grand Wagoneer. (And there is still time for the buyer to select the exterior color of their choice)

This 1985 Colorado Red has an accident free Carfax that confirms the low 81,400 miles as original, clicking up nice and slow over the years, with all but the last 900 of those miles from the deep south state of Texas. Think of those low miles in this way, they represent an incredible under 3,000 miles per year driven. You couldn’t ask for a stronger frame and undercarriage as she has been kept far away from road salt. Her condition before our restoration began was a testament to a very easy and protected life that she had enjoyed. We also have page after page full of hand written maintenance and service notes from a very careful former owner. The perfect candidate for a Classic Gentleman restoration.

For the most retro-classic Grand Wagoneer enthusiast, the 1985 model year was the final year to offer the lower profile front grille and feature the much loved traditional dashboard layout with the round gauges and toggle switches. The Honey color interior is likewise heavily sought-after by buyers in the upper reaches of the Wagoneer restoration market.

The frame off restoration is extensive, from a newly remanufactured original spec 360ci V8 engine to a whole host of other cosmetic and mechanical/electrical works with the highlights detailed below:

Our entire focus is on Grand Wagoneers and we know these unique vehicles inside and out. When you purchase a Classic Gentleman Wagoneer it has been thoroughly inspected and works completed by professional mechanics, some with over forty years of Wagoneer experience. We purchase fine example Jeeps from a variety of sources including other dealers and private parties. We are often told by the seller, “My Jeep is excellent and needs nothing” however, being in this profession, we know to expect and plan for a great deal of sorting. Remember the average age of these vehicles is over thirty years old and even with loving care many the cosmetics and mechanical parts have aged and worn accordingly. When a Classic Gentleman Grand Wagoneer arrives at your home, it is a special occasion and the Grand will be in beautiful condition. Yes, our sales are as-is, but as you will see from our detailed document files that your Grand has been looked after carefully. Our goal is to see that the joy and enthusiasm of Grand Wagoneer ownership begins immediately with your purchase and that it will be there for years to come.
