My dream car has always been a Jeep Grand Wagoneer "woody".
I finally got one two weeks ago, a 1986. I am gonna have to put more money into it than I paid for it, but it will be awesome. Even if only in my eyes.

Here is the bleeding "Beast"

It is your baby, you make it what you want. I have found that many times I take a good older vehicle and put some money in it, I have a lot better vehicle then if I had gotten a new one. I also got what I wanted and not what I had to settle for. Best of luck on your project.

There was just an article this week about how these old Wagoneer's have become MORE popular.

It is a toss up between a '69 Stingray or a '67 Chevelle SS.
