1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2 Laredo 4x4 Project

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE 

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection debuts with Part 1 offering over 200 cars in October, all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. Many additional lots will be offered in the coming months. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

“Luxury meets legendary Jeep capability.” The 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee marked an important year for Jeep’s flagship SUV, solidifying its reputation for blending rugged capability with upscale refinement. Introduced in 1993 as a successor to the Jeep Wagoneer, the Grand Cherokee was designed to offer superior off-road performance while appealing to a growing market of luxury SUV buyers.

By 1995, the Grand Cherokee was available in several trims, including the base SE, Laredo, and the top-tier Limited. It featured unibody construction — a departure from traditional body-on-frame SUVs — providing improved ride quality and handling. Power came from either a 4.0-liter inline-six or a 5.2-liter V8, both paired with Jeep’s renowned four-wheel-drive systems like Command-Trac and Quadra-Trac.

Notably, 1995 was the first year the Grand Cherokee offered a driver’s side airbag, reflecting the industry’s growing emphasis on safety. Interior appointments included available leather seating, woodgrain trim, and advanced (for the time) electronic features like keyless entry and digital climate control.

The Grand Cherokee’s blend of luxury, safety, and off-road prowess helped it stand out in a competitive market, laying the foundation for its continued success. It became a symbol of the emerging SUV lifestyle — capable in the wild, comfortable in the suburbs, and stylish enough for city streets.

Alabama Sales Tax Notice to Bidders: Because this car is located in Alabama, the selling dealer may be required to collect and remit Alabama state sales taxes of up to 2% of the purchase amount, even if the buyer plans to register the car outside of Alabama, if (a) the buyer is located in AZ, CA, FL, IN, MA, MI, or SC (capped at $500 in SC), and (b) the buyer does not transport the car out of Alabama using a common carrier (e.g., if the buyer drives the car or transports the car out of Alabama on a personal trailer). Additionally, the selling dealer may be required to collect and remit Alabama county or city taxes from buyers located outside of Alabama, if (a) the buyer does not transport the car out of Alabama using a common carrier (e.g., if the buyer drives or transports the car out of Alabama on a personal trailer), and (b) the buyer fails to provide an executed Drive-Out Certificate for Nonresidents. For additional information, please consult this publication and your own tax advisor regarding sales taxes applicable to cars located in Alabama that are sold to residents of another state.  

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential, however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning to both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is. 

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite beginning Monday, November 3 through Wednesday, November 19. No cars can be retrieved prior to November 3 and any lots remaining after November 19 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
