1981 Jeep Wagoneer Limited – Garage-Kept Survivor with Original AMC V8

Description

Here’s your chance to own a true piece of Jeep history—a well-preserved1981 Jeep Wagoneer Limitedthat’s been garage-kept and carefully maintained since I acquired it in 2022. We wanted upgraded power and reliable starting, so made some upgrades, but largely left it as the rare and untouched survivor that it is. This would be a great candidate for driving and tinkering on the weekends or for stripping down for a full restoration. These classics are only going up in value.

Since we bought it in 2022, this Wagoneer has been driven only occasionally during nice weather and has been stored with care. The family has loved taking out the Waggy and cruising the neighborhood, and the kids are bummed to see it go, but we need the garage space.

If you’re looking for a vintage 4x4 with originality, character, and mechanical upgrades already done, this could be your Waggy.
