Description of 1985 Jeep CJ SCRAMBLER CJ8

Vehicle Overview You have now just discovered an Extremely Rare and Fully Restored 1985 American Motors Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler. This 1985 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler is one of just 2,015 built for the model year and was restored between 2010-2012 and is fresh out of a very large and private collection and available for the very first time in years, Finished Sebring Red over black interior, the CJ-8 Scrambler remains in original specifications apart from the addition of a Vintage Air A/C system. Based on the CJ7, the Scrambler features a longer 103" wheelbase and functional pickup bed. Power comes from an AMC-built 258ci inline-six paired to an optional Tremec four-speed manual transmission, and the truck is also equipped with power steering and brakes. This 1985 CJ-8 Scrambler resided in a private collection until 2017 and received a routine service in early January 2018. This CJ8 is now being offered by the selling dealer in Illinois with a clean Carfax and a clear Oklahoma title. We do believe the photos will speak very loudly of the condition of this very pristine and highly collectible 1985 CJ-8 Scrambler.

Please take a good long look at the following photos and we do think that you will be impressed. Most of the CJ-8's available are at most in driver condition and are still commanding top dollar and will need 10's of thousands of dollars to bring them up to this level and in addition most of them are so far gone they have become un-restorable due to parts and component availability. Her is a complete turn key fully restored to original specs and will only rise in value as time goes on. Perfect Investment CJ-8.
