This 1970 Jeep Wagoneer 4×4 was purchased new by a family for seasonal use at their Maine summer home. It was reportedly driven sparingly, garaged, and kept highly original. The seller acquired the vehicle three years ago when the odometer showed approximately 35k miles. A comprehensive restoration and series of upgrades was carried out shortly thereafter. The body was stripped to bare metal in preparation for a professional repaint, and several other custom exterior touches were added as detailed below. Inside, Italian two-tone leather was applied throughout, as were billet aluminum accessories, a high-end stereo system, and much more. The factory 350ci V8 has been rebuilt, and is paired to an automatic transmission. All work was completed around two years and 4k miles ago, and this Jeep is now being offered with a binder of records and photos of the restoration, an original owner’s manual, some prior documentation, and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.

Before the professional repaint was performed, two spots of corrosion in the lower rear fender panel were cut out and new steel was welded in place by a local body shop. The paint was then applied, color sanded, and buffed to a high-gloss finish. The seller created custom wood-style body inlays himself, and elected to have the painted roof fitted with a removable pearlescent 3M wrap. All-new weatherstripping was fitted along with a 1967/68 model front grille. The original grille is also included.

During the refresh, new bumpers and slotted alloy wheels were purchased and powder coated white. A new set of Bilstein shocks were also installed. The wheels feature custom hub covers made from the original hub caps to work with the new wheels. The front hub covers conceal the manual-locking 4WD hubs. The seller states that the rear tailgate glass needs manual assistance to work properly. Since the restoration was completed two years ago, the seller has stored this Jeep in a climate-controlled garage, and it has reportedly never been driven in rain.

A detailed exterior and interior walk-around video is shown above. The seller points out a scratch on the front passenger seat leather.

The interior features the following appointments, and the seller states that $25k+ was spent solely on paint and upholstery:

Italian two-tone leather on the seats, dash pad, and inner tail gate panel

Italian leather and suede door panels

Perforated micro-suede headliner

Leather wrapped lower dash housing with a Kenwood Bluetooth head unit and auxiliary gauges

Custom seat foam

Vintage Air A/C system

Rattle Trap soundproofing throughout

Two stereo amplifiers under the front seat

Billet aluminum HVAC controls from Billet Specialties are also installed as depicted above. The seller was able to source a NOS jeweled Jeep clock during the restoration, and the factory box is included. Images of the interior before the restoration can be seen in the gallery below.

Cruise control has been added, however it is currently inoperable according to the seller. The seller states that all other features, lighting, and accessories are in working order. Currently, the odometer shows 40k miles which is believed correct based on known history, however only recent service records are included.

As part of the restoration, the factory Buick 350ci V8 was professionally rebuilt to stock specifications. The carburetor was also rebuilt, a new fuel tank was installed, and new fuel lines were fitted. Power is sent through a factory Dana rear-end, and the seller states that the oil was last changed around two months ago.

A dual exhaust system incorporating Flowmaster mufflers is installed. The exhaust note at idle can be heard in the video above.

To the seller’s knowledge, the underside of this Wagoneer retains its original finish. Multiple undercarriage pictures are provided in the photo gallery below.

The seller states that this Jeep was was maintained in highly original condition prior to his purchase. A photo of the vehicle before the restoration was commenced is shown above. Several in-process pictures of the restoration are displayed in the photo gallery below, and a 3″ binder full of restoration-related receipts, records, and pictures is also included.
