• One-owner vehicle since new
• Original Olympic White paint in exceptional condition

• Completely rust-free body and undercarriage
• Exceptionally clean chassis retaining its original-style factory undercoating
• Unrestored survivor with remarkable originality throughout
The First-Year Wrangler
The 1987 model year marked a milestone in Jeep history with the introduction of the Wrangler YJ, replacing the legendary CJ series. While maintaining Jeep's legendary off-road capability, the YJ introduced improved ride quality, enhanced comfort, and its now-iconic square headlights—a bold design that has since become one of the most recognizable features in Jeep history and represents the beginning of the modern Wrangler era.
As first-year Wranglers continue to gain appreciation among collectors, original, low-mileage examples like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Recent Service
To ensure this Wrangler performs as well as it presents, it has recently received comprehensive mechanical servicing, including:
• Carburetor rebuild
• Complete ignition system tune-up
• New spark plugs
• New spark plug wires
• New distributor components
• New belts
• New fuel filter
• Fresh oil service
• New cat-back exhaust
• Brand-new BFGoodrich KO3 all-terrain tires
• Condition & Driving Experience
This Jeep remains an authentic, unrestored survivor that reflects decades of careful ownership and proper storage.
The original Olympic White paint retains an outstanding appearance, the factory Jeep-logo seats present in near-new condition, and the undercarriage is among the cleanest you will find—completely rust-free and still retaining its original-style factory undercoating.
Mechanically, the recent service work has this Wrangler running beautifully. It starts easily, idles smoothly, and drives exactly as a properly maintained low-mileage Wrangler should. The suspension feels tight and composed, free from the rattles and looseness commonly associated with vintage Jeeps. The new BFGoodrich KO3 tires provide excellent road manners while maintaining the Wrangler's legendary off-road capability.
A Collector-Grade Example
As more enthusiasts recognize the significance of the first-year Wrangler, values of exceptional original examples continue to strengthen. Unmodified, one-owner, low-mileage YJs rarely become available—especially in this remarkable state of preservation.
Whether you're looking to add an investment-quality Jeep to your collection or simply want one of the nicest original 1987 Wranglers available, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
