    New Owner of an 89 Grand

    I can't for the life of me remember what year my first Wagoneer was. It wasn't an '88 because I remember it wasn't the same year I graduated. Wasn't a '91 because it wasn't the year my son was born. Had to be an '89 or '90 (I think, lol). Anyway, just picked up another '89 Grand!!!

        Thanks! I am in the middle of a build project with my '79. I intend on just flipping this one. A few things to fix and hope to do it pretty quick.

        Windshield; Dash; Wiring harness; Passenger wind wing; Headliner

          Thank you. It is in really good shape. Has a new Howell fuel injection.

              I'm in North Idaho but both Wags are in CA. I just think the 89 is in too good of shape to part out...

                  I’m jealous, hoping to install a Howell on my 401 at some point.

                      Posts aren't submitting. Third attempt:

                      Don't be jealous. It had a fire under the dash. Have work to do before the Howell will have fuel running through it again.

                        If you have a iPhone always copy your post before posting. That way you can edit your post and paste it back up real quick. It likes to cut off after any commas and what not.

                          Yes, I've experienced that before. This was from my MacBook though. Never had problems with it. Must've been the extreme heatwave messing with the air waves.
