#GrandWagoneer #MagnusWalker #NeverStopDriving
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
I had a bunch of these! they are built like tanks.supension kinda sucks though very slushy lots of body roll and the last carburator used in the us on a production car or truck!
Just sayin, I like the video a lot , but jeep wasn't owned by Chrysler at the time
Soooooooooo expensive now. I have a 91 Cherokee Laredo in good condition and people offer me money for it constantly.
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 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
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
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….
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 . . .
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
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
That's how a SUV should look like. So nice. Cool.
When SUVs actually looked like SUVs
The wagoneer is one of my favorite classic cars.
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"
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.
This guy apparently has NO CLUE about what he’s covering in his interviews. He’s horrible! Anybody who loves Jeeps would NEVER compare them to Land Rovers. Remember that Land Rover started as a body stuck on the frame of a Willys millitary Jeep. On the second wagoneer, the guy being interviewed started to tell about the Hemi under the hood and perhaps the upgraded drivetrain but was CUT OFF in favor of how big of a picnic basket can it hold and the crank handle. Jeep guys don’t care about that, they want to know, “does this bad boy have LOCKERS?”
That bad boy got a sunroof! You don't see a lot of them with that feature. Very nice one indeed!
You can really tell this guy is on Chrysler's payroll
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
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.
Thanks Magnus, my jeep collection is about to finally be worth something!
These have been a "big thing" for a long time.
Front grill and lights like soviet GAZ 24 Volga
Hello! From JEEP ME♥
We’d like to use part of your content footage in one of our upcoming videos. Could we get your permission to do so? Looking forward to hearing from you!
2:40 Magnus, Morgan do not build, and never have built, cars with wooden *_chassis_* !
@Lookup2Wakeup Post and rail. No picket palings to be seen anywhere.
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 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.
My uncle had one. In Iran these were called Jeep Ahoo(🦌 deer)
Still a beautiful design. Glad the new grand Cherokee took some queues from it. Too bad the new concept wagoneer is such an ugly thing.
Cool video on FSJ Wagoneers. Nice little history, we need more videos like these. Congrats!
International Travelall. I believe was the idea.
Brooks Stevens was the designer. Look up the Wagonaire. It is an evolution of the Studebaker wagon design he did.
I like it just because it’s not a Wagoneer. just because vehicles are made famous on TV can’t convince me to buy one.
"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.
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.
Magnus speaks in a very inspirational manner.
Selling I would say))
@@extraBash lol that too
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer, loved the look of them since I was young boy...@ much, much older boy, still envy them...
Mr Fuzzy claims "authenticity" but has always come off as just utter Phonus-Balonus: LA-Bleh.
Video starts with talking about affordable vehicles and shows a line of vintage 911’s are you kidding
Buying one of these and taking a cross country road trip is something I really want to cross off of my bucket list.
Looks like russian wolga but SUV 😉
No it's not
IFSJA back on the dial-up anyone?
Wish I had one today. Easy to work on, lasts forever.
I got run over by one of these when I was about six.
@@muahaha5929 six year olds are made of rubber. All I had were bruises even though one of the wheels went over one of my arms! It probably helped that it was on a dirt road.
@@CrazyDavy22 The real question is if one of these has a spot in your 10 car dream garage?
@@Official_MikeyT no sir.
It's fully looks like russian "Volga" GAZ2412
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. 👍
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!).
9:00 This is about the 3rd or 4th time I have seen this exact Wagoneer presented with a significantly different story and I'm calling BS. It was on Jay Leno's garage and some other show with some little fellow presenting it like he built it. It was on some UA-cam show I never saw before or since, out on a mesa presented by two old guys. Now it is a secret Fiat project? Go away now.
This one was done by Chrysler. I followed them build it
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 🕳
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.
Why cant they build cars like that Roadtrip Wagoneer??? It has all the modern requirements, but none of that bullshit modern cars have. And safety.... well who cares about that...
This is a beauty not like the new one
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.
So do you know Magnus??
I am spanish but i was born in México (my family since XVII has been born in New Spain (México) and in Spain) and I growed up in Spain... since my childhood i love american cars... but all of them after 1973 had big engines ✔, with beatiful V8 engine✔, marvellous sound✔, big interiors✔, square design✔, but..... NO power for this big engine❌❌❌
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
Love the content on the wagoneer. But this is my first experience of Magnus and he’s bizarre; he’s like someone’s dad dressed up as a blues singer and trying to do impressions of American accents from TV ‘and a’ll giddin and go!’. It’s rather cringeworthy…
People are crazy nowadays these 80's jeeps are junk IMO the engine was POS AMC engine that overheated, had ton of smog emission equipment like an air pump. The Carburetor was lousy 2 barrel the 4WD didn't work that well. These were not great vehicles of their times. These were not one of a kind in 1980's GM had the suburban it had a 454 engine could tow lot more weight.
Magnums you just tripled your subscriptions with this change in direction! Always followed you but The German wheel chock was not for me I did in the past have hot rods & street machines but the Beurocrats and law enforcement took the fun out of the black top and I am an Offroader now where there is no speed cameras,
Jason from Maryland here.
You needed a JEEPER to talk to, not a PR joker that rolls in a Sienna. No Jeep brand enthusiasm 😒
And as far as Hagerty is concerned, I have almost 20,...of the 'next big thing',...holler
Why not a chief widetrac ? This British guy gives zero f's about this vehicle. The original chiefs are amazing! They ride like Cadillacs and feel indestructible. No lift you can put 33's on em. I hit the lottery I'll build an aluminum bodied one and leave it raw color, maybe a 408 magnum stroker with a carburetor. Manliest truck ever (m715)
it was A $30 + thousand dollar vehicle in 1990. Doctors, lawyers, wealthy people were the owners. I had an 89 when they were still cheap. Now you have the wagon master in Texas selling them for $80+ thousand. I love them, miss the one I had, but I can't stand the word iconic, its the latest hipster buzzword.
They're pretty, and very nice, but not affordable. At all. Starting a 160k, and going up over a quarter million, those two Jeeps are in Ferrari/ Lambo territory. Save that affordable crap, Magnus.
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 am a little disappointed. The Crysler executive didn't even mention that it was the 1st shift on the fly 4 wheel drive. Didn't mention the beautiful leather and corduroy interior. Didn't mention the rarity of the vehicle. Didn't mention the extremely comfortable ride and steering. He didn't even know what year the Wagoneer came out! Wow!
beats the hell out of the cookie-cutter thinking, bean counter inspired, cut-and-paste styling "new grand wagoneer"...
5:00 "Holds a lot of space"...
Wait a minute...
8:31 I thought those two in the middle were some sort of kia or something like that, had to rewatch because I couldnt understand. The fact is that they dont look like jeeps of any sort.
You can identify a cherokee, grand cherokee butt even today. But those two were generic small suvs haha
Nice car. Like wooden panels on the car, gives it a nice country feel... Urban dwelling in the suburban style.
Made for the Griswold, lol. I named my 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Griswold a long time ago when I got it.
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.
Leave it to Chrysler / Jeep to showcase a vintage vehicle that’s supposedly been redone from top to bottom and still have an inoperable tail light.
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.
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!
Put that concept Wagoneer into production and it would be more popular than the new Bronco.
The new Grand Wagoneer or even the current grand Cherokee design is trash.
The jeep grand wagoneer is the best looking car every made over the years I have owned 5 of these and if they still looked the same I would own another one
why can't jeep re-release these beauties?? I dont give two shits about the new one. i love everything about these old grand wagoneers. its a life's mission to get one.
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.
Great Clip! wagoneer is iconic as Toyota Landcruiser BJ62 of the 80s
How could it be an AMC if it is a 1989? AMC sold to Chrysler in 1987.
Love this video! Is anyone else bothered by the headliner finish on the green one and the burnt brake light?
I'd suggest grabbing any Landcruiser you can also..They are going away in the US and older ones are rising rapidly
Jeep: supposedly the longest running maker of SUVs in North America.
How important heritage is to jeep.
See: Jeep Compass / Patriot / Renegade (fiat trash)
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.
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.
Love the plate # on that first Wagonneer... C3(47)PO
My dad had one back in the late 80s/90s. I was rly young but it sticks in my mind for sure
Beautiful
Nut and bold, restomod Wagoneer.... with a brake light out.
Overlanding and Rock Crawling are the opposite of one another.
As Made famous by Dr. Leo Marvin in "What about Bob?"
Cameo appearance by Roman Mica (from TFL Cars) at 8:38.
You can tell Magnus is a city boy. Those are post and rail, not picket fences! :)
That Wagoneer is cool but doesn't seem to have much axle articulation. I think it is more of a show piece than a real wheeling rig. I hope Magnus does more research before he jumps into something. KOH is coming up in a couple weeks and he could learn a lot by looking around out there. If he thinks that Jeep is a hot rod wait until he sees what out there in Hammertown!
The Grand Wagoneer was never a real wheeling rig. They came with 15" whitewall passenger car tires. LOL Even back in the day the Wagoneer was mostly a grocery getter and vehicle to carry kid's to soccer practice or haul golf bags to the country club.
I love these to bits, but man the grand wagoneer sure does get a lot more notoriety than the previous models.
Ahh Sandler must be back to making movies now😅🤣
Wagoneer's are not the next big thing, they have been a thing all along. Clueless.
I thought the dog was real..
My family had one after the other after the other. Every three years, there was a new one.
Kale has not appeared out of no where here in Scotland it has been eaten for generations
hey Guy´s...great story and...a beautiful car.
That Wagoneer is perfect. What a good build.
