HISTORY / OVERVIEW
The 1987 Jeep Wrangler belongs to the first YJ series, evolution of the historic CJ and the first generation to officially carry the Wrangler name. Characterized by the classic design and rugged off-road stance, the YJ represents a fundamental model in Jeep’s history, today particularly appreciated by enthusiasts for its authentic character and the distinctive configuration of the first series.
The unit offered at auction is equipped with the characteristic 4.2-liter inline-6 258 engine, one of the most representative powertrains of the early Wrangler YJ, paired with a 5-speed manual. A 1987 model, it therefore belongs to the early YJs and blends Jeep’s traditional mechanicals with the distinctive design of the new Wrangler generation.
EXTERIOR
The bodywork is in the factory-original Grenadine Metallic color as per the identification tag, with paint largely still original. Today it presents in good overall condition, though there are some signs consistent with age and use. The vehicle’s structure is solid and complete with the original hard top, in addition to the soft top.
The underbody and chassis are in generally very good and solid condition; no signs of accidents have been noted and it is street-legal.
INTERIOR
The interiors are largely original and in good overall condition. The seats, trims and dashboard instrumentation are original and rare for the Laredo version.
The center console is in excellent condition, as are the dashboard and door panels. Overall, the cabin preserves a configuration consistent with the era and the character of the vehicle.
The entire cabin has recently undergone a thorough sanitization.
MECHANICS
Mechanically, the engine has recently been restarted after a long period of inactivity. The transmission and clutch are functioning, and gear engagement is regular. The brakes are not seized. The technical inspection is valid until June 2027 and the car is road-legal; however, given the minimal recent use, as with any classic car, a general check is always recommended before normal use or long trips.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
