Let's say you work for the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh and someone donates a 1983 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. What do you do with it? Well, for whatever reasons, using the vehicle, which makes the most sense, was not among the options being considered by the museum folks. To make a long story short, they chose to call in artist Keny Marshall to...

Not sure what to do with that old gas guzzler? How about turning it into a giant ball? That's what artist Keny Marshall did with this 1983 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. There aren't any build instructions, but you should be able to figure it out from the construction video. It's probably not street legal any more, but it will get you from place to place, as long as you want to go downhill. Read more | Permalink...

There will always be something special about the Jeep Grand Wagoneer that keeps the original Sport Utility Vehicle entrenched firmly on our list of truly iconic American automobiles. Somehow, despite the old-school design and fake wood paneling, the GW manages to look both classy and capable at once. It looks to be in good shape inside and out, as it should with just over 43,000 miles showing on the...

What we love about this 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer is not that it’s stretched by several feet, nor that it’s actually a functioning limousine, it’s that it was done rather tastefully (we’ll grant the directional billet wheels): It looks like if AMC, in its last throes as a functioning company, built one of their junior [...]

As if the death of a somewhat troublesome Maserati BiTurbo wasn't bad enough, a dealership in Bloomington, Indiana is preparing to execute this supremely reliable 1989 Jeep Wagoneer V6 4x4 with just 67K on the odometer. According to our tipster, this Jeep is in good condition with a clean title, minimal rust, and good tires. A little detail work and it would be a classic cruiser. Alas, we know its...

Welcome to Down On The Street , where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. You know, after 379 vehicles in this series, we've had just one Jeep, and that was a 2-wheel-drive mail-carrier's DJ5 ? Oh, sure, we saw this 1945 GPW 'Jeep' , but that was built by Ford! Meanwhile, we've had five IHC Scouts. What's the deal here- is Alameda's...

The whole point of going all the way the hell down to the most remote point of land on the East Coast is to be able to drive around on the beaches, scare children, run down plover nests and suchlike. To do that properly, you need an authentic beach jalopy, preferably a Jeep Grand Wagoneer from way back in the last century, preferably one you found in the condition of a Baghdad taxicab, and not a green-zone...

I thought I’d check and see how many vehicles the WINDING ROAD readers own. Right now I’ve got three and a half in my stable. I currently own an ’85 Toyota pickup that's modified for off-road use, but currently has no clutch, an ’88 Jeep Grand Wagoneer that needs seatbelts before I can drive it, and an ’89 F-250 to tow home new projects. What's that half a vehicle? I’m...

Exotic hardware is abundant at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction, but comes later in the week. One of the strengths of this auction is the effort made to include cars of interest to those of us with somewhat less than six figures in the bank. An early offering was a garage kept 1985 Jeep Wagoneer. With 110,000 miles on the clock this Jeep has the AMC 360 V-8, the tacky, yet traditional, faux...

I’m a huge fan of the project car. Probably because I can usually find them for less than $500 and it's always fun to have a new toy. My latest acquisition, shown above, is a stunning 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. It's got a running AMC 360 V-8 and one of the power windows works. With only a few minor things to fix, it could see the streets again before the 2008 North American International Auto...
