1981 Jeep Limited WAGONEER Description
RARE Limited 4X4 1981 Jeep Wagoneer SJ-Body Automatic. This was the first luxury family/service wagon from which the SUV model type originated as it exists today! It has a New Interior, Restored Exterior. Newly rebuilt Engine 258 Cu. In. V6 GAS OHV Naturally Aspirated. Clear CA Registration; and owner Pink slip lists this vehicle category as SW: ''Station Wagon''.
Moving--must sell! This price will pay for the upholstery only! And not even put a dent in the cost of the engine, electrical, wheels tires, paint, etc. etc.
The Limited model was made 1978 to 1983 when AMC was purchased by Chrysler. In 1984, the "Limited" was renamed the "Grand Wagoneer", which means the Limited was NOT produced after 1983, even though the SJ-body remained through the Chrysler years. Therefore, ANY ads for a Wagoneer 1984 or after claiming to be a Limited are incorrect.
A New transmission, steering and fuel systems, new electrical, and drives with power. Before restoration, it had approx. 220,000 original miles and now has exactly 156 miles on the new engine. New whitewall tires and brakes, and luggage rack excellent with adjustable bars. New Exterior paint similar to original color, with replaced faux wood-grain vinyl side panels that show areas of fading, and have contrasting bumper frames. There is extra wood-grain vinyl remaining for purchase.
Gorgeous new interior, seats in caramel color leather, including the dash and steering wheel, and have matching velour upholstery detail like the original, but more luxurious with contrasting cord trim. The back seat is a single unit without an armrest, but each side has upholstery designed as individual seats. Dash dials are in very good condition, a new radio, mileage pictured from March 2019. There are seat belts in front and back. The interior side panels of all 4 doors are original, and show wear commensurate with age. Windows are original in clear glass, passenger roll-up handles that need operation repair and some small parts attention. Dad invested over $30K at age 89.
