Location: Sandia Park, Nm

Why It’s Curated: The iconic Jeep Grand Wagoneer is the ultimate in vacation house, snowy day, beach day, bring the family along, fun vehicle. This particular example for sale in New Mexico has benefited from an almost complete mechanical restoration over the past few years costing $38,000. The seller describes it as a driver with some cosmetic flaws.  Maybe the new owner will be more inclined to use it and less inclined to park it if the paint and interior are not perfect. Either way, we’d love to take this to the mountain to go skiing, drop the kids back home, and then hit the South Lake casinos in the evening.
