Richard Truesdell - 1969 Super Wagoneer
This is the original luxury SUV, built by Kaiser from 1966 to 1969,
approximately 1,200 were built overall and I suspect that less than 50 were
built for the 1969 model year. If you have accurate, confirmed productions
numbers for all Super Wagoneers, please contact me directly at
rmsquaredjeeps@aol.com.
This 1414X Super Wagoneer is equipped with a recently rebuilt 0.30 over Buick
350 V8 equipped with a 4 barrel carburetor and is mated to a GM TH400 3-speed
automatic transmission with a console mounted shifter. The interior features
vinyl trimmed deluxe bucket seats and a factory-installed A/C unit mounted in
the glove box location of other Wagoneers.
Although my Super Wagoneer has been painted recently, it goes off road at
least a half dozen times a year, most recently in Cottonwood Canyon, NV in a
quest to find the remains of a A-12 (single seat version of the SR-71
Blackbird) that crashed 70 miles east of Groom Lake/Area 51. Photos of that
trip can be viewed at http://jeepwriter.homepage.com/A12trip.html.
If you're interested in a more detailed history on the 1966 to 1969 Super
Wagoneers I invite you to take a look at my Super Wagoneer Home Page and
Registry at http://jeepwagoneer.homepage.com/SW1.html.
