Description of 1983 Jeep Jeep Scrambler C-J8 C-J8

True collectors item. One of only 27,792 produced from 81 to 86.

Very hard to find this nice without spending $30000+ for a full restoration. Comes with factory half cab hard top as well as hard to find (and expensive) Kayline full soft top in excellent condition.
Less than 1000 miles on 31x10.50 BFG All Terrains. Spare has never touched the ground.
Paint and body work from previous owner - looks great - not perfect - original Jamaican Beige.
New carpet in front cab. Ryno lined floor in back.
2150 Motorcraft carb (original included).
Rebuilt original T176 4 speed transmission (Zumbrota Bearing and Gear).
15 gal factory reproduction gas tank with new lines, ending unit, ollover valve, tc.
Blazer heater motor upgrade (and new heater core).

Starts right up, oes not smoke, nd is easy to drive!

This is a 32 year old vehicle. It will not drive like your 2015 F-150. It does have some surface rust on the underside. There are no dents, ut a few bumps and bruises on the body. I would rate it a 7.5 out of 10. Same with the interior. That said, t is plenty nice to take to car shows or just cruise. My wife takes the Jeep out on nice days 2-3 times a week. She loves it. But we are moving and there is no space for the Jeep. :(
This is a great Scrambler and you will not be disappointed! In my opinion, his is the best color combination.

I reserve the right to end the auction early.
