Expedition Portal Classifieds: 1969 Jeep Wagoneer

The Jeep Wagoneer boasts one of the most iconic, and arguably beautiful profiles in four-wheel-drive history. Every inch of the design from the wide grill to the rear window exudes Americana, and somehow brings us back to “the good ol’ days” when things were slower and times were simpler. Not everyone is into slow and simple though, so if you’re looking for that classic flare with a little more spice, then we have just the Wagoneer for you. It was recently built to compete in the Rebelle Rally and features front and rear air lockers, upgraded axles, Fox coilovers and reservoirs, a 6.0-liter GM V8 pumping out 360 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque, and so much more.

The seller states that this Wagoneer “was professionally built by Trail Tested Manufacturing to be reliable and capable.” They also mention that it has “tons of power, drives one handed at 80-plus mph on the highway, and is a blast offroad.” The upgrade list is extensive to say the least, ranging from a stretched wheel base and Dana 60 axle, to a new set of seats, and an upgraded stereo. The asking price is a cool $50,000, and you can contact the owner by phone at (831) 682-0813.

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Chris didn’t receive a real taste of the outdoors until moving to Prescott, Arizona, in 2009. While working on his business degree, he learned to fly and spent his weekends exploring the Arizona desert and high country. It was there that he fell in love with backcountry travel and four-wheel drive vehicles, eventually leading him to Overland Journal and Expedition Portal. After several years of honing his skills in writing, photography, and off-road driving, Chris now works for the company full time as Expedition Portal's Senior Editor while living full-time on the road.
