Gateway Classic Cars of Atlanta is proud to represent this 1981 Jeep Scrambler! The Jeep CJ models are a series and a range of small, open-bodied off-road vehicles and compact pickup trucks, built and sold by several successive incarnations of the Jeep automobile marque from 1945 to 1986. The Jeep Scrambler CJ-8 was a long-wheelbase version of the CJ-7, introduced in 1981 and manufactured through 1986. It featured a 103.5 inch wheelbase and a removable half cab, creating a small pick-up style box instead of using a separate pickup bed. CJ-8s used the traditional transfer case with manual front locking hubs to engage the four-wheel drive. Most had either a four- or five-speed manual transmission, but a three-speed automatic transmission was an option. The term "Scrambler" comes from an appearance package with which many CJ-8s were equipped, which included tape graphics and special wheels.This particular CJ-8 was recently restored and is optioned very well! Powering this Jeep truck is a powered by a small block 350ci V8 backed by a turbo 350 Automatic Transmission. A restoration was completed under current ownership which included upgrading the rear axle to a straight axle, a slight lift, new wheels and tires, and air conditioning! Finished in an original Jeep color, Steel Blue. If you are in the market for a well-built CJ-8 Scrambler, this is the one for you!
