The Grand Wagoneer seen here is an impeccably maintained example that was sold new in Colorado and then moved to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, in the early 1990s. It has been garage kept and driven barely 4,000 miles per year, with total original mileage of 116,787. The car rolls on four brand new tires, has just had all four shocks replaced, and presents as totally stock and original with the exception of upgraded Hella driving lamps installed in place of the factory units.
Included with purchase are an owner’s manual, a spotless CarFax report that shows no accident history and gives owner and maintenance records back to 1994, the receipts for the new tires and shocks, and a file of Grand Wagoneer articles and information

7. '08 Ford F-750 World Cruiser
$5,000, my offer.

 

I predict that the big Ford 'World Cruiser' will 'tank' at the auction. Auction suggests it should bring $450,000 - $650,000. No way it's gonna bring anywhere close to that. Also wouldn't be surprised if this one has a hefty reserve on it, either.

 

That thing might go for over $100,000. It really is a nice tow vehicle. There are show horse owners near Ocala that might want it.

 

#1 - did not meet reserve, top bid was $12,000 - get your wallet out boys and girls!

Just saw a 1969 Buick Sport Wagon, vista roof, very original in nice unrestored state - went for $9500 (I think buyer/seller fee is 10%, so $10,450 out the door).

#2 - sold for $26,500

 

I'm just going to guess on this one:

1. '93 Caprice custom
$0 Not Sold



FWIW, the F-750 World Cruiser may be seriously ugly, but its a pretty bad a$$ machine. I'd travel in it.


*edit* Did not see jrwscout's post before replying.

 

Updated results:

#3 ('56 Chevy) - No sale - high bid $40,000

#4 ('57 Chevy) - Sold for $50,000

#5 ('40 Ford Woody) - No sale - high bid $92,000

 

Well, I got reasonably close on the '57 Chev (guessed $48k).

 

#6 ('49 Cadillac Phantom Wagon) - No sale, high bid $75,000

#7 -Bonus - No sale, high bid $50,000! They were estimating $450,000 to $650,000???? The fact sheet says the wiring harness alone cost $20,000. Wonder what the owners are thinking tonight?
