1972 Jeep Wagoneer

This 1972 Jeep Wagoneer is finished in bright orange over a beige interior with houndstooth accents, and features a suspension lift kit with aftermarket shock absorbers, a custom roof rack, “Razor” grille, 17″ beadlock-style wheels, a cabin heater, and an aftermarket audio system. According to its previous owner, the Wagoneer was utilized on a family farm in the Nevada high desert near the California border for much of its life before spending an extended period out of service. Power provided by a 360ci V8 that drives all four wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case.

A replacement driver-side floor panel was also installed. The body was subsequently refinished in bright orange and fitted with a replacement windshield. An earlier-style “Razor” grille was retrofitted in place of the factory unit, and auxiliary lighting is mounted just behind it. Additional exterior details include a receiver hitch, dual mirrors, round headlights, and chrome bumpers.

The truck rides on aftermarket beadlock-style 17″ wheels fitted with BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, and a spare wheel and tire assembly is mounted beneath the cargo area. The suspension has been lifted and utilizes replacement leaf springs and aftermarket shock absorbers that were installed under current ownership. Power steering was equipped from the factory, and braking is provided by power-assisted drums at all four corners.

Inside, the front and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in beige vinyl with houndstooth fabric inserts, while custom woodgrain paneling has been fitted to the inner door panels and cargo-area sides. An elliptical opening in the top of the dashboard was welded shut. Appointments include a cabin heater, crank windows, and an vintage-style aftermarket stereo with Bluetooth connectivity linked to an aftermarket subwoofer, six speakers, and a JBL amplifier fitted in lieu of the glove compartment. USB connectivity and phone charging capability have also been added. The overhead light does not work, though it was fitted with replacement lenses as part of the refurbishment. The door-actuated dome light switches are inoperative.

The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 110-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 96k miles, approximately 8k of which were added under current ownership. The truck was issued with a Not Actual Mileage title by the state of California in December 2022.
