This 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer for sale is the kind of truck that makes a strong case for faux wood as a legitimate design choice. Offered by Cruisin Classics in Columbus, Ohio, this Grand Wagoneer shows just 56,874 original miles and has undergone a complete frame-off restoration. The build stays largely faithful to stock form, with a few performance-minded upgrades from Howard, Edelbrock, and MSD. At an asking price of $79,995, it presents as a particularly well-restored example of one of the most desirable luxury 4×4 SUVs of its era.

We would. Would you?

The Model
The Jeep Wagoneer was a landmark vehicle for the brand and one of the earliest SUVs to successfully blend four-wheel-drive capability with genuine comfort and style. Produced under Kaiser Jeep, AMC, and Chrysler from the early 1960s through 1991, the Wagoneer helped define what the modern luxury SUV would eventually become.

Its roots trace back to Willys-Overland, which by the early 1960s was operating under Kaiser Jeep Corporation. At the time, Jeep needed a more sophisticated and versatile vehicle to compete with growing pressure from Ford, Chevrolet, and Chrysler, all of whom were beginning to edge into the four-wheel-drive market.

The result was the Wagoneer, a notably more refined and car-like vehicle than most 4×4s of the period. It offered features uncommon in off-road-capable vehicles at the time, including an automatic transmission, power steering, a factory radio, and available air conditioning. In many ways, it was years ahead of the segment.

By the time the Jeep Grand Wagoneer emerged as the top trim, the formula had become even more polished. Grand Wagoneers combined full-size utility with upscale appointments, and they are still instantly recognizable today thanks to their signature faux wood exterior trim. It is one of the few vehicles where woodgrain vinyl somehow feels completely right.

Jeep built 10,159 1989 Grand Wagoneers, and 1989 models remain among the most sought-after of the final-production trucks. Buyers tend to value them for their later interior updates, mature styling, and place near the end of the Grand Wagoneer’s long production run.

The Specs
This 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer appears to have been restored to a very high standard. The Gloss Dover Gray Metallic paint suits the truck well and pairs nicely with the new faux wood side graphics and refreshed trim. Inside, the burgundy interior looks especially rich, reinforcing the Grand Wagoneer’s reputation as one of the earliest true luxury SUVs.

According to the seller, the only noted flaws are minor wear on the rear emblem and light pitting on some of the roof rack chrome. In the context of a full frame-off restoration, those sound pretty minor.
