1989 AMC Grand Wagoneer grand review from North America
"I dig it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the engine rebuilt at 110,350.
Three days after I bought it.
Needs pass. rear door lock fixed.
Headliner droops.
Need to get a spare.
General comments?
I was looking for a 88-95 Cherokee, when I came across this burgundy beast. The 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer was hiding in the back of the lot, looking lonely, and I knew I had to have it (flat tire and all). I had to rebuild the engine as soon as I got it, but it was well worth the trouble. The newly reworked power-plant gets up and goes with enthusiasm, and just opens the door too many plans I have for it in the future.
3" leaf lift
31x10.5 BrStone Duleur A/T
MSD ignition and coil
Heddman Headers
Summit Racing exhaust system
Just to name a few.
