| The Jeep Wagoneer was made for about 180 years (OK, actually just 28 years), going through three corporate owners during that period. This is only our second Wagoneer Junkyard Find (after this late-in-the-game '89), though I walk past many more every time I hit my favorite Denver wrecking yard. This '81 grabbed my attention with its super-Malaise-y purple paint, so here we go! Gas prices doubled again? Emission-control regulations got your big-displacement V8 making 130 horses? Add more tape stripes! I'm not even going to look up the power figures for this AMC 360 V8, because they would just get us all depressed. This could be a genuine Wagoneer Brougham, but the distinguishing Broughamic features are no longer present. Under Chrysler, these trucks were built into the 1990s, stretching from JFK's presidency to the dawn of the World Wide Web. Shielded by THE PROTECTOR!
