Авто/Мото
Really lovin the new format of Hagerty. It’s now an enthusiast channel. Love it.
did they pay you?
What was it like before? I'm still kinda new to the channel
If Jeep had a retro line like that Wagoneer, then I'd have one or two in my drive. I really like the minimalistic aspect of that Wagoneer.
But Jeep isn’t that smart;( they’re a one trick pony.
You can have one. Just get an original. Find one that is rust free though. Then do the rest up how you want.
@@derelict_wanderer I’ll stick to something more fitting for road use, such as a big block sedan or coupe. I don’t have enough money to off road with a collector’s vehicle. Mud, dents and scratches aren’t advisable.
@@JeepCherokeeful I was replying to Scott. However, I love my 84 Grand for road tripping. Not fast or made for the twists by any means, but the most comfortable road tripper I've ever owned. I'm way over cleaning mud off the undercarriage or dealing with excessive rust on American steel. Not gonna off road it in Moab or the mud. It is pretty clean. Though, Black bear pass would be a bucket list item to drive down.
@@derelict_wandererMy Coyote powered F150 works great for Alaskan road trips, I’ll stick to that. No need to be concerned about parts availability and it’s more “reliable” and it’s my daily too;) and with ABS and stability control I know other family members are safe driving it. Plus it can easily tow 5,000 lbs over all the Alaskan mountain ranges.
I have a Jeep J10. The pickup version of the Wagoneer. It looks amazing and it's a workhorse.
I worked on that line , i helped frame out the cab and the box
The cab was framed out on the same carousel as the wagoneer sides . And the sub assembly of the doors. The carousel was on the first floor , the box on the 3rd and the doors 3rd
I had an '81 Cherokee, (2 door version of this) loved that thing... A total beast off road. 9 MPG down hill with a tail wind... Haha
Yup, has a 76 Cherokee Cheif 2 door, 360 with a 4 speed (granny low 1st). Thing was a beast on and off road. Thank god gas was cheap!
@@michaelreynolds1904 Cool I had a 77 Chief red and black with the 258 and 4 speed. Plus mine had Danna 44's front and back a rare set-up back then.
@@michaelreynolds1904 mine was an auto, wish it would have been a 4 speed... Also didn't much care for not having manual locking hubs.
In the UK we had a 1979 Cherokee S , 4 door , 360. Loved that car , it’s the one car we had that our kids all remember, with 4 kids , the dog and all our camping gear in the back. It had a lovely sound , and terrible gas mileage 😀. Drove it around on the uk army tank training ground at Salisbury plain one weekend.
Wish I still had her now 😔
In the 80s we were making over 300 a shift. 2 shifts. There i worked in finishing. Putting all the things on in the inside of it left there in 90
That bad boy got a sunroof! You don't see a lot of them with that feature. Very nice one indeed!
I inherited a '64 Wagoneer from a friend of my Dad ,when I was in high school ('70). Living in So. Nevada, it allowed me and my buddies to roam the desert in search of adventure and trouble. The old six was okay and did the job, but in auto shop class we modded a stock 289 out of a wrecked Mustang into it. Had to use a bigger radiator also. I drove that thing until until 1976. I sold it and bought a wrecked surplus military M-725 ambulance. Did a restore and customized the rear, used that for many camping, hunting, and fishing trips for many years.
Magnus is the exact opposite of what you think a British Porsche builder would be.... and that makes it even better. The man is a genius.
He is "down-to-Earth" in his way of being and that reflects on his business. This guy's a legend.
@Max Maxsson and quite possibly a lot younger than he looks….
I practically grew up in one of these,back in the 80s iran.it's just so nostalgic watching this.good job guys.
I did also friend of mine had 3 of them though the 90's we took one put a lift on it and 35" tires replaced the carb with a TBI FI system it doesn't stall on hills about 5 years ago. We took it to a car show some guy said we ruined its value because it wasn't bone stock. It's a jeep not a station wagon I told him.
I see it has the period-correct sagging headliner....Very 80's.
...and got the single working brake light correct too!
Don't forget they didn't show the rear window going up either
The wagoneer is one of my favorite classic cars.
I used to know a guy that owned a 72 Jeep Woganeer when I was young and part of the Staten Island 4 Wheel Drive Club. That Wagoneer went everywhere with just street tires. I used to own a Scout II that also was a tank that went everywhere.
Yep that's my combo I've got now love them both!
I remember driving my boss's Jeep Grand Wagoneer over 100 miles one time, and to this day it was the most comfortable ride I have ever driven. This wasn't long after I had a terrible back injury, and I fell in love with that Wagoneer.
Agreed. I have back issues and can go about 3.5 to 4 hours between rest stops in it. By then, the old girl needs a drink anyway. Hope to add lumbar bladders and butt warmers in the future to mine. Wife's car spoiled me on the butt warmers on a cold morning.
You need to drive a new Ram with air ride. My 2020 Ram 2500 4x4 rides way better than the old 89 Wagoneer I had for 20 years.
Cool video on FSJ Wagoneers. Nice little history, we need more videos like these. Congrats!
Always been one of my favorites, and this green example is absolutely amazing.
Just goes to show that old styling combined with new technology can add up to awesome.
The Grand Wagoner has been “ The Big Thing” since mid 80’s And it has never stepped down from that status among the have “MORE’s” they still have them in their garages at their beach hours or their farms. It’s the sixth car at their third house.
Its called "desperate for content"
My dad had one back in the late 80s/90s. I was rly young but it sticks in my mind for sure
How has this video not got a few million views. Great filming great editing great front man with magnus. Hope you keep the great content coming. 👍
Buying one of these and taking a cross country road trip is something I really want to cross off of my bucket list.
I recently acquired my late Uncles 88 Grand Wagoneer. Truck has been stored since 1999 when he passed and it was the first Jeep I ever rode in and made me an enthusiast and hardcore off-roader ever since. Once spring hits I'm going to return the car to its former glory with a partial restoration and make sure everything works as it should, but keep the patina like how he drove it around. I'm gonna take the family everywhere in it. Can't wait. These are the best looking Jeeps ever produced
Man. I've been cool all these years and didn't even know it! Fell in love with the Grand Wagoneer in the early 80s when a buddy's dad would take us out duck hunting in his '85. Bought one years back for peanuts and restored it. Not quite to Bronco level of resale (will never sell this pig) but have had some fun conversations at the gas pump, around town and on the trail.
I bet you were at the gas pump a lot.
Mine get about 9-10 mike's to the gal
@@dougg4633 It can climb hills like no one's business, turns heads everywhere I go, but yeah, I get roughly 11 mpg.
I had a 79 for 12 years.
Loved having it with my boys as they grew up.
Now that their older we sold it.
Bought a Fiat 124 Spyder for me and the wife
Oh that is a beautiful FSJ. I’ve got the same year Grand Wagoneer, though that one is in far better shape than mine...
Hearing that thing run and watching it drive brings back memories...
Thanks Magnus, my jeep collection is about to finally be worth something!
I was strictly a muscle car guy.
Grew up in the used car world and Cadillacs were our bread and butter. Had the chance to drive a new 85 grand waggy. I was beyond impressed. Caddy comfort. Great driving and an excellent ride especially for a 4x4. It was the only new vehicle I would have considered in 85.
Magnus speaks in a very inspirational manner.
Selling I would say))
@@extraBash lol that too
Wish I had one today. Easy to work on, lasts forever.
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer, loved the look of them since I was young boy...@ much, much older boy, still envy them...
The first and second one awesome! The retro work on the old one is very cool! 😎👍
That's how a SUV should look like. So nice. Cool.
Great video! To see Magnus like a Jeep was awesome!
That JGW is just stunningly beautiful with the the way the navy blue and the
Wood interact with just the right amount of chrome.
That Wagoneer is perfect. What a good build.
My dad had 2 Cherokees back in the 80s and I’ve been obsessed with them ever since I was a kid. The main issue is finding ones that haven’t been turned to Swiss cheese from rust.
man this is a fantastic show so far. i hope it gets the views hagerty need to continue it.
after this season, that is.
Great...enjoying this It should be of help to me investing in cars☑️
The rich invest their money first into assets instead of purchasing liabilities. Take a wise decision today to buy and invest in cryptocurrency.
Exactly...nice words
You are right man, investment is the key👌
I see crypto currency taking over the financial word it's making waves
The traders rule" crypto is the easiest way to get to the part of wealth while everyone else is drawing in depth
I tried investing in crypto discouraged by the constant fluctuations in price
My first car was an 85 Grand Wagoneer; I loved it so much! I hate that my dad sold it (even though he replaced it with the almost equally amazing 98 Durango).
Great video!
My uncle had one. In Iran these were called Jeep Ahoo(🦌 deer)
That green Jeep is actually really nice looking. I bet a lot of people are going to be looking for these after seeing this video.
I sure hope the Gen 2 (96-02) Dodge Viper GTS is on this list. Not only has the car had numerous International Motorsports accomplishments but is one of the purest analog driving experiences available. They are moving up quickly in the recent market. Would love to see Magnus behind the wheel of a proper Viper!
Love this video! Is anyone else bothered by the headliner finish on the green one and the burnt brake light?
Love the plate # on that first Wagonneer... C3(47)PO
Here in the UK I have an 83 Cherokee (Laredo) WT. Inhereted from a friend who passed away. Literally "one of a kind" as it is the only FSJ, of that year still registered with DVLA (UK DMV). Also Uber rare as it is properly converted to RHD, instead of the chain drive conversion almost all the UK FSJ's had. Aluminum bumpers, not the nasty chrome plated steel bumpers.
Sitting on my driveway, waiting for a body shop to be brave enough to take it on (and the lottery win to be able to pay for the work!).
Man my Dad had one of these bad boys in all white. I remember driving up to the country in the back with that window down. Can't believe my older sibblings sold it.
I recall having mine back in 1988. Had it for 6 years.
just WOW. it's beautiful. i wanna buy one.
Although I Dont have a Jeep, Scout or K5 Blazer, but instesd an 80's S10 Blazer, I'm even more keen to keeping it. Such under-rated Suvs.
Amazing
These wagoneers are sick!
Great Clip! wagoneer is iconic as Toyota Landcruiser BJ62 of the 80s
I love these to bits, but man the grand wagoneer sure does get a lot more notoriety than the previous models.
This is awesome channel, like history, modify version n new version of Grand Wagoneer👍 Magnus having been to Australia do you think Holden WB ute or any other Aussie car/ute/wagon stands out that Americans could have wanted?
My uncle had a 85-86 Grand Wagoneer with the 304 V-8. It was a cool cruiser. He always has owned some cool vehicles. I wish he still had it. Now he drives Porches, so Magnus would probably get along with him real well. A buddy of mine just bought 90-91 G.W. It's beautiful, nice blue paint with that awful (awesome) wood grain. I want one, but nice ones have gotten too expensive.
5:00 "Holds a lot of space"...
Wait a minute...
Love this.. I have a 1986 Grand Wagoneer, Id love to do the same to the underpinnings of mine expect on air bags for cruising and off road capabilities. Id wanna keep it stock looking however and maybe even the engine and trans of course adding fuel injection etc
All this series is accomplishing is making the coolest cars and trucks from the past unobtainable for the average joe and sending the platoons of flippers out to gobble up the remaining salvageable examples. The flipper's only "enthusiast" longings being 6" long pieces of sturdy green and white paper. To be fair though, the market for the cars featured so far have already been under attack from the piranhas for some time.
Karl Freese exactly.
@@ZeGermanHam I agree, like I said. Wagoneers on BaT have been ridiculous for a while. I wouldn't put it at multiple years though...maybe 16-18 months. But the reach of these videos really "cleans out the nooks and crannies" so to speak, and incentivizes "polished turd" offerings. What has happened to the Land Cruiser market (along with a large "Prepper" push) is truly offensive. At least to those of us that have been enthusiasts for decades and are of more "blue collar" means.
I agree. The internet as a whole really. Its no longer an average joes game unless your willing to get a trashed one.
That Jeep has already bolted.
Welcome to the party Magnus.
I’ve enjoyed your progression with air cooled Porsches. Very interested to see what direction you will take with a Wagoneer. As I’m in the process of refreshing one I would caution you that it’s very difficult to decide what to and not to do to the truck. It’s a slippery slope. Keep us posted.
He'll never buy a Wagoneer!
@@nickturner2813 😆 I guess we’ll see
Awesome!
that restomod one is kinda close to icons kaiser (i think) wagoneer build. the similarities are crazy, even the axles
They've been restoring these for a few decades getting crazy money for them. If anything they've come down in value where an average guy can find albeit a rough one for a fair price. The beauty is they made them forever and most parts interchange with different model years.
hey Guy´s...great story and...a beautiful car.
I love the jeep outlaw!
Beautiful
So cool love the cool mint color.
I worked on that line in 85 86. In the body shop , i operated a host that picked up the bodies put them on a carrier on the 2nd floor walked down 30 feet where the 3rd floor host oper. Would send down his hook up for the body and i would hook it up then he took the body to the 3rd floor and i would go back to my host to pick up another one. The beginning and the end of the 2nd floor line. Then the line shut down for good to which i went to a different line at Jeep.
First worked on CJ7 line then the Wagoneer
NICE!!
The fact that Wagoneer hasn’t been “reissued” as such, is such a squandered opportunity! A modernised, revisiting of this classic would have to be huge success.
The problem is that a vehicle that looks anything like the original Grand Wagoneer will not meet current vehicle safety standards for occupants and pedestrians, not to mention CAFE standards. The Wagoneer was introduced when JFK was president and like most cars of the day the only safety features it had were the sheer amount of steel that was in it and the driver's abilotu to avoid a crash. Back then gas was 30 cents a gallon so the fact that it only got 8-10 MPG didn't matter much. I think seat-belts were an option when they first came out in 1962 and became standard equipment in the mid 1960s. They didn't get headrests to prevent the driver or front set passenger from getting a whiplash until 1984. None of them ever even had a driver's side air bag, much less passenger airbags, side curtain airbags, etc.
Made for the Griswold, lol. I named my 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Griswold a long time ago when I got it.
I have a 90 Grand Wagoneer. Got it 6 years ago... many issues with it.. but its mint now.. daily driver.. people ALWAYS stop me. To look at it.. take pics of it.. tell me stories how they grew up with one. Or what not.
Im the only one in my area that has one.
Im working on getting a 76 Jeep j10 long bed here soon.
Also have a 5.9 Limited Grand Cherokee
FIAT JEEP should concentrate on Quality while the Jeeps look cool forget reliability. The old AMC strait 6 was bullet proof. The new ones are endless money pits 🥺
Even the AMC 360 v8 was really reliable
That straight 6. 4.0 was a great motor had one in my 87 Commanche made on the same line as the Cherokee . I even worked on my truck on the line Black with black int.
Yep, I had a 4.0L in my 88 Comanche and 97 Grand Cherokee. Awesome engine, such a joy to drive.
Purchased a new 1977 CJ-5 with that inline 6 and a three speed in Illinois, sold it in Homer, Alaska in 1983 with 125,000 on the clock. Saw it in 2014 In Homer with its third owner. He emailed me in 2017 on the Jeep's 40th birthday to say it was still running strong. Over 300K and no major drive train work. He has done some sheet metal repairs but it was still on the road. Heading back to Homer this summer and expect to see it again . . .
My aunt in Denver had one of these in the 80's.
whats the intro music?
We had a 76 Wagoneer. Ivory rims under a beautiful green we called camp counselor green
When SUVs actually looked like SUVs
Excellent clip - Grand Wagoneer is close to Toyota Landcruiser BJ62 - Icon as well
Front grill and lights like soviet GAZ 24 Volga
Nice car. Like wooden panels on the car, gives it a nice country feel... Urban dwelling in the suburban style.
I was on a search for a older 4wd and I had it narrowed down to a 3rd or 4th gen Bronco or a jeep Waggoner of any vintage but a 1990 Bronco 4.9 straight six with a manual transmission ended up in my garage but I still dream of a Waggoner.
It's a Master piece retro design, but no body notice the left side damaged 💡!
NICE
This car is awesome, Wagoner is top!
Enjoying the content, but why 1080p and not 4k?
Need to fix that brake light on the lime machine. Hard to not see just how ahead of their time these things were.....surely, you could easily buy either one of these with the modern engines etc....Classic....keep your new junk...Superb video.
Love the wagoneer
I'd suggest grabbing any Landcruiser you can also..They are going away in the US and older ones are rising rapidly
Cameo appearance by Roman Mica (from TFL Cars) at 8:38.
i would buy that concept '68 - wow
My family had one after the other after the other. Every three years, there was a new one.
Man i wonder what is the song that is in the intro
Easter Jeep goes back to 67' wow & Moab nice.
Greatly enjoyed watching the Jeep & BMW videos. How about a Japanese car for a future video. Like a Datsun or a Subaru. Go full on vintage with the Datsun, or the perfect daily driver like a Subaru. Datsun 510 and Subaru Forester both have a strong cult following.
To know the jeep Wagoneer, or jeep anything really, you need to talk to Doug (uncle Jary ) from D&E in the garage. This man breaths jeep, Nice job with the subject matter!!!
There is one in my town - which is, by the way, the wrong side of ocean - and it is perfect in all its aspect and would buy it in a hearbeat (ever if gasoline rates 1,60 Euro/litre)
"Eco-sensitive"! LOL! Code for cheap/inexpensive dress-up. Still, it worked! Great vehicle. But I don't think Clark would have driven a 4x4.
Love the skis on the roof IN THE FRICKEN DESERT
These have been a "big thing" for a long time.
They need to build this updated version. To offer it with the options of scat pack, hellcat. Could be to order? But it will sell for nice profits.
Got a brake light out!
You can really tell this guy is on Chrysler's payroll
I grew up in the back of one of these and a CJ. I’d love one, but 8 mpg and the rust...
You should have capitalized RUST. LOL
@@trevorn9381 Agreed. My dad put plywood under the floor mats because of the 🕳
This is a beauty not like the new one
