In the early 1960s, Jeep, under Kaiser-Willys management, felt it was time to offer a larger, more comfortable vehicle than the aging Willys station wagon. Competition was closing in on the company and something had to be done. The Wagoneer was introduced for 1963 using the Gladiator Pickup platform. It offered customers the opportunity to haul the family and utensils in comfort, easily tow a load and go off-road when needed. Designed by Brooks Stevens, who had penned a number of products for Willys and Kaiser, the Wagoneer proved popular among Jeep enthusiasts and people simply looking for a large vehicle for their purposes.
Knowing the Wagoneer was commanding fair market share, Jeep produced the Super Wagoneer in 1966. It was equipped more luxuriously than anything like it on the market with accessories like a pushbutton radio, interior ceiling lights, air conditioning, a seven-position steering wheel, power steering, power brakes, a power tailgate, bucket seats, a center console, automatic transmission and much more. It was a precursor to what would evolve into a luxury SUV, something very common today, but unheard of back then. In 1978, the Wagoneer Limited was introduced, which was hugely luxurious and technologically advanced, again, marking a precursor for what would become the Grand Wagoneer of 1984, one of the most popular and recognizable vehicles ever made.
This 1988 Grand Wagoneer has 55,000 original miles and was given a comprehensive restoration, including an extensive mechanical refreshing. Powered by the 360 CI V-8 engine and 727 automatic transmission, this Wagoneer features an aftermarket fuel injection system that has been uniquely designed to give the appearance of the original carbureted setup. Finished in custom Burgundy Pearl paint with proper simulated wood paneling, the interior is upholstered in tan with custom plaid seating surfaces that gently match the exterior paint. The dashboard is new and fitted with an aftermarket stereo system with hidden components. Drivers will love the back-up camera and factory air conditioning to help keep things cool.

Relentlessly developed, improved and race-proven from inception, Porsche’s 356 series remains the cornerstone of the legendary marque. For much of its production run through 1965, the 356 was, and remains, the standard by which classic postwar sports and GT cars are judged. While the 356 continues to be renowned for delivering exceptional performance, often far beyond that of other contemporary sports cars, many enthusiasts have taken the best elements and timeless styling of the cars and created their own versions of the “ultimate” 356, with the products of their creativity affectionately known and accepted by the Porsche community as “Outlaws.”
This 1958 Porsche 356A-based “Outlaw” is a former Excellence magazine feature car with a highly customized bodyshell and a decided Hot Rod vibe. Built by long-time Porsche customizers, the 356A carries a cool presence with its chopped roof and widened front end and rear quarters. Covered and louvered rear quarter windows and a louvered rear deck/engine cover enhance the radical custom look. Custom front turn-signal indicators and tail lights with a chevron motif deliver a great custom look.
Power and performance capabilities are far beyond original specifications with the original 4-cylinder engine replaced by a 911T-sourced 6-cylinder engine breathing through a pair of Weber triple-choke carburetors delivering the newfound power through a 911 rear transaxle. Suspension upgrades include 911 components. The Porsche’s interior is updated and upgraded to match, trimmed in tan Italian leather and featuring custom-upholstered, Speedster-style lightweight bucket seats and sculpted door panels. A custom floor console houses switches and control buttons. Other interior updates include the Banjo-style steering wheel, modern instruments inside the smoothed dash panel and relocation of the spare wheel/tire to the customary rear seating area. A large-capacity Fuel Safe fuel cell is found underneath the front trunk lid and an electronic ignition system fires the fuel/air mixture. An air bag system allows you to set the ride height as desired and Hoosier tires on Minilite-style alloy wheels provide road contact.
