1981 Jeep Wagoneer | Rare VAM 282ci / 4.6L Inline-6 | Factory 4-Speed Manual | Mexican-Market Original
A truly unique Wagoneer from AMC’s Mexican subsidiary VAM (Vehículos Automotores Mexicanos) — powered by its exclusive 282 ci / 4.6L inline-six paired to a factory 4-speed manual and part-time 4×4 with locking hubs.
Lovingly preserved, fully documented and officially imported into the U.S. with complete CBP, EPA, DOT, VIN & DMV paperwork. Runs and drives beautifully.
145 k km (≈ 90 k mi) | Bright Red & Tan | 2 Owners | Acquired from original owner after 40 years of ownership | Rust-free | Clean NY Title | Always Garaged | Seats 9 with folding rear-facing 3rd row | 4×4 fully functional
Mostly original, improved & upgraded with numerous NEW components (mostly completed between March & August 2024), including: carburetor | 120Amp heavy-duty alternator | radiator | distributor | gas tank | sending unit | fuel pump | brakes | hoses | 5 × Cooper A/T Mud tires | custom dual exhaust | bare-metal undercarriage renovation (zero rust found) | clutch discs | seat belts | window rubbers | mirrors | spark plugs | engine belts | power-steering hoses | 4 × shocks | rebuilt starter motor | headlamp units | front & side flashers | much more.
A remarkable survivor that captures the charm and rarity of VAM’s Mexican-built Jeep heritage — a seldom-seen piece of AMC history, ready to drive — no need to bring a trailer!
