Lot Listing #365 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Meet “Louie”, a 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer owned by a Seattle financial analyst named Bob and his wife, Karen.
In grade "A" condition, smoke and rust-free Texas vehicle. 360 V8, automatic, 4WD, cruise, air conditioning, tinted power windows, power seats, trailer hitch, roof rack, stereo with satellite radio, and hands-free phone.
Less than 134,000 original miles and less than 1000 miles on newly rebuilt high-performance engine. Rebuilt transmission and transfer case, as well as rebuilt front and rear axles, drivelines, brakes, Rancho springs and shocks, Optima battery, MSD ignition system, Edelbrock port fuel injection, custom exhaust. $35,000 in under hood and under vehicle receipts. Fully serviced and ready for road trips!
Bob loved classic cars. Over the years, he’d owned several, including a Karmann Ghia, a 1968 Camaro super sport, a 2-tone 1985 Bronco, and a 1964 Pontiac LeMans with 326 motor. But in anticipation of his well-earned retirement, he knew he wanted the right vehicle for the next stage of his life: for road trips, boys’ weekends, winters in Oregon.
And he’d always wanted a woody.
Finally, he found Louie, who had been brought to the Seattle area from Texas.
It was Bob’s wife who noticed that Louie left drips on the garage floor, and named him after Louis Leakey, everyone’s favorite paleoanthropologist.
It was Bob’s brother-in-law who convinced Bob that they could easily solve Louie’s leaks - and do a whole lot more.
Over a year, they gave Louie the best of everything: fuel injection, a new high performance engine, a new transmission and transfer case, new front and rear axles, and much more.
Bob’s wife now noticed something else: they’d spent $35,000 in under hood and under vehicle improvements.
What Bob didn’t see coming was his ALS. By the time Louie was fully upgraded, he could no longer drive. But now and then, he’d take his wheelchair to the garage, and his wife would start Louie up just so he could hear the engine and enjoy how well Louie ran.
On his last birthday, the boys got together and loaded Bob into Louie and they all went for one last joyful ride together.
Bob’s been gone a few years now, and Louie’s been well looked after and driven regularly by a custom car mechanic. He’s been fully serviced and is ready to go. Those road trips have yet to happen, however, so Bob’s wife thinks maybe it’s time for someone else to love and enjoy Louie as much as Bob would have.
Louie is in great shape. For someone who wants to do them, there are a few minor projects:
Replace rubber weatherstripping (weatherstrip kit $150)
Mend drivers seat split seam
Fix sticky sunglasses compartment door
