Automotif CDLXXXV...


This was something that doesn't happen often. Myself and fellow Indy-area car spotter Jim Grey both caught this 1979-1985 Jeep Wagoneer Limited, possibly the same day. Certainly we both saw it on College Avenue.

The faux-woodie fad was starting to wane by the early Eighties. For '79, you could get your 4WD Wagoneer with either a 97bhp 258 cubic inch inline six, or a 360cid American Motors V-8 fitted with a Motorcraft 2bbl carburetor and pumping out 127 SAE net horsepower.
