Woodie Alert! 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Final Edition Is Up for Grabs With Sensible Price

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer nameplate was born as a variant of the luxury Wagoneer 4x4 produced from 1963 all the way up to 1991. Together, they pioneered the luxury SUV category, combining the rugged body-on-frame truck capability with luxury car amenities, which has become a signature trait in models like the Cadillac Escalade. The Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SJ had no less than three ‘masters’ over the years: Kaiser, AMC, and Chrysler.

In modern times, Stellantis also revived the nameplate for the WS generation of the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, with the latter set to remain alone on the market after it was repositioned following a consistent mid-cycle refresh. As such, it’s not only better-looking and technologically-ready to fight any competitor, but it also has a much lower price, as it starts from around $63k sans destination.

Of course, not everyone wants the modern Wagoneer, which is set to become defunct soon, or the refreshed Grand Wagoneer, although the latter has become a much worthier all-around luxury SUV package than before, as it heavily undercuts rivals like the Caddy Escalade or Lexus LX, among others. In case you only have eyes for the iconic SJ Jeep Grand Wagoneer and its signature woodgrain side panels, then you’re quite lucky, potentially.

The dealership proposes this 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer as part of the Final Edition series, finished in elegant Gray Mist Metallic over a Bordeaux leather and cloth interior, a worthy sendoff for the final year of Jeep's original full-size luxury SUV. According to the description, these special editions were hand-assembled in limited numbers in Toledo, Ohio, solely for the 1991 model year, and marked the end of the lineage for the forefather of luxury 4x4 sport utility vehicles.

Under the hood of this classic SUV resides Jeep's venerable 5.9-liter (360ci) V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and dual-range transfer case, with the odometer showing 87,137 miles on the clock. However, it looks pristine, as the description also adds that “it presents as a well-preserved example that has been thoughtfully maintained to remain both road-ready and collectible” at the same time, depending on the wishes of the next owner.

Last year, the Jeep “received a comprehensive mechanical service addressing key age and wear-related items,” and also has “desirable color combination, documented recent service, and preserved originality.” As such, they feel entitled to ask $49,900 for this unit that, they say, will feel “equally at home in a curated collection or as a nostalgic weekend cruiser, (because) it stands as a fitting tribute to one of Jeep's most iconic and collectible creations.”
