Post March 16, 2008,
Not much happening at the moment. This was around the time that we were working on our chair designs, and as I Recall, mid-March was pretty hectic. I did take some pics however, but most of em are sort of more of the same thing I had taken previously.
Probably a Good a time as any to get around to doing a bit of background on the vehicle I seem to spend so much time on.
This Particular Grand Wagoneer was made in 1991; June to be exact. Through research that I did a while back, I found that they made only 1500 Grand's that year, and that Jeep finally brought a 30-year production run to an end in July of the same year; one month after mine was built. Significance? Of the several hundred thousand Wagoneers to leave the assembly line over the previous 3 decades, this particular one is one of the final 100-200 ever built. If I did some kind of vin.# check, i could probably find out how many were built after it. That sort of makes it special as a Final Edition unit (though the first owner opted not to have the commemorative plaque they put on the final model's dashboards). There is a body panel (the grille steel) that has been dated November 1992, leading me to believe it was a replacement panel for what could have been a small accident.
Specs:
Engine: 360 cu.in. V8; 2bbl Carb
Horsepower/Torque: 144hp/280lbft i think. thereabouts
Curb Weight: 6,200 lbs
