The Jeep Wagoneer entered the automotive world in 1963 and to the dismay of Jeep enthusiasts said farewell in 1991. The Grand Wagoneer nameplate arrived in 1984 and would be the flag ship model to the end of production in 1991. Wikipedia details only 1560 Grand Wagoneers rolled off the Toledo assembly line in 1991 and whilst other sources quote slightly higher final year production numbers, still 1991 is the lowest production year . The 29 year production run featured a variety of color choices – some very appealing finishes- others not finding favor with Wagoneer buyers. In addition to the Hunter Green Metallic finish introduced in 1991 another unique color was introduced – SPINNAKER BLUE METALLIC. Jeep had produced over the years some lighter blue finishes and other could be “ special ordered” but as a production color Spinnaker Blue metallic appears only in 1991 and Jeep researchers contend that less than 30 were produced. As you can imagine locating an original 1991 Spinnaker Blue Metallic Grand Wagoneer is nearly impossible. Understanding the desire by collectors to own this ultra rare Wagoneer we are color converting this excellent condition, low mile 1991 Grand Wagoneer to Spinnaker Blue. Look at our color conversion page to view the extensive work we undertake to apply the new color to interior an exterior surfaces. An extensive process and the finished product is outstanding. If you have always had the desire to own a ’91 Spinnaker- here’s your opportunity.
Carfax confirms the low 88,500 miles as original, clicking up nice and slow over the years, with most of those miles from the deep south state of Florida and the remainder out west.
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:
Why buy from a Grand Wagoneer specialist?
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 Wagaoneer 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.
Still, and here is the most honest paragraph you have perhaps ever seen from a restoration house/dealer, in some ways these Jeeps were terrible even when they were new. Sometimes we wonder if automotive engineering was more of a hobby with Jeep executives. For example, a Grand Wagoneer was the very last vehicle produced in America still fitted with a carburetor. The factory installing an ancient artifact like a carburetor to these Grands is a perfect example of Wagoneers being more primitive than other vehicles of the same model years. Now we automatically upgrade and modernize each of our Grands with MODERN FUEL INJECTION, eliminating the troublesome carburetor and therefore also eliminating the next owner having to constantly hector his local Jeep service advisor to adjust the carburetor. But, in most every other way, we can’t change the method these were built by the factory. In many respects the manufacturer used outdated technology and manufacturing methods and as a restorer, we will always be compromised by that circumstance. Did you know you can remove the front grill from a final year 1991 Grand Wagoneer and behind it still see the round cut out holes for the 1963 Jeep Wagoneer headlights? Those are just two examples above to illuminate the discussion. Therefore, please understand you will do more maintenance and servicing of a vintage Grand Wagoneer than a modern piece, even one we have restored. That is just a truth, fellow enthusiast. If you don’t have the un-excitability and tolerance for that, then let us say to you candidly, don’t buy one. But let us also remind you that it is indeed that old school style and looks of a Grand Wagoneer that have made them so ever popular today.
