I don’t know anyone who isn’t attracted to a package deal, particularly when the classics on offer run and drive. Such is the case with this Jeep duo. The buyer will receive a 1978 Wagoneer and a 1987 Grand Wagoneer. Both vehicles are in good mechanical health, and with a spot of TLC, they could present very nicely. The seller’s decision to include a selection of parts for both adds to the appeal. They have listed the Jeeps here on Craigslist in Rocky Gap, Virginia. They set their price at $20,000, and I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder T.J. for spotting this dynamic duo.

There is a lot to consider with these Jeeps, but what is undeniable is that they both require some cosmetic TLC. The 1978 Wagoneer wears tired Red paint that has worn through in various spots. However, the panels are quite straight, and there is no evidence of significant rust issues. However, performing an in-person inspection would be wise to ensure that no nasty surprises are hiding below the surface. The seller doesn’t mention any problems, but taking a closer look is undoubtedly cheap insurance. The trim is in generally good condition, and there are no problems visible with the glass. One intriguing aspect of the listing is the mention of an included parts collection. The seller doesn’t elaborate on what this comprises, but I have always worked on the theory that a few additional components are welcome with any project candidate.

The Wagoneer’s interior is in better shape than the exterior, with only a few minor vinyl imperfections and faded carpet. It is serviceable, and a set of slipcovers would protect the seats from further deterioration. It appears to sport cruise control and an aftermarket radio/cassette player, but I don’t believe the buyer will score air conditioning. Hiding below the hood is a 401ci V8 that produces 210hp and 305 ft/lbs of torque. Jeep combined this with a three-speed automatic transmission and its Quadra-Trac system to provide excellent performance in most circumstances. It is claimed to have a genuine 49,000 miles on its odometer, although there is no mention of verifying evidence. The news for potential buyers is extremely positive. The Wagoneer recently received a complete brake rebuild and new tires. It runs and drives extremely well, and is ready for a life of adventure with the buyer behind the wheel.

The first owner ordered the 1987 Grand Wagoneer in Olympic White, and, like its stablemate, it requires a cosmetic restoration. The seller describes this classic as solid, suggesting that it should be rust-free. There are no major panel imperfections, and the glass and trim are in good condition for their age. The faux woodgrain has seen better days, but almost any vinyl wrap company should be able to address that shortcoming relatively cheaply. Overall, this looks to be a fairly straightforward project for the new owner.

The seller supplies no engine photos for either vehicle, and the interior shots for the Grand Wagoneer are limited. They confirm that it is trimmed in Burgundy cloth and leather and that the vehicle features power windows. Other factory options that I would typically expect to find would include air conditioning, power seats, and cruise control. The back seat is in good order, but we’re flying blind from there. If the vehicle is mechanically original, the engine bay should house a 360ci V8 that sends 144hp and 280 ft/lbs of torque to the road via a three-speed automatic transmission. This Jeep’s acceleration figures won’t match the older Wagoneer, but it would still be effective on and off the road. Once again, there is no mention of documentation supporting the seller’s claim that this survivor has 98,000 miles on the clock, and while it runs and drives well, it is unclear whether it is roadworthy.

It will be fascinating to gauge your feedback on this pair of Jeeps and to learn what would be your strategy if you found them in your workshop. Both appear to be prime candidates for cosmetic restorations, with no apparent rust or major panel imperfections. Returning one to its former glory, selling it, and using the cash to refresh the other is a viable option, although some enthusiasts will prefer to retain the pair. If you have owned one of these classics, did you enjoy the experience enough to warrant a repeat performance?
