Vehicle Description
Jeeps 4x4s are nearly just as much about looking chic as they are
about being capable to handle any terrain. And you can really do
both in this 1981 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler with Golden Eagle premium
packaging.
The Trans Am might have its screaming chicken on the hood, but that
can't hold a patriotic candle to the bird that graces the front on
a Golden Eagle packaged Jeep. But there's much more to this than
just graphics. Jeep people know this was a range-topping
designation so this one has to give off the right impression. That
includes a bright white look of sophistication, and a full gold
trim package that includes stripping that wraps around the rear.
This has the full doors and roof to keep this fully enclosed when
you want it, and the gold color on the hardtop has a partially
distinguished look. The polished seven-slot grille, mirror-like
bumpers, and bright trim package complete the look of this premium
package. But even this pretty boy still knows how to get to work.
That's why you have a lifted 4x4 stance and liner paint protecting
the truck bed.
Inside the premium Golden Eagle treatment continues. You get
features you don't see on other Cjs, like the gold dash or full
carpeting. And this one really is a nice place to spend some time.
The tan bucket seats are newer, and they have modern bolstering for
all-day comfort. In-between is a cup holder center console. Plus,
you have other great features like a tilt steering column and
upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo. But the favorite part of any Scrambler is
the ability to have a versatile pickup, and at the same time, you
can choose your level of how open to the world you want to be.
The engine bay has the clean look of proper care and investment.
The 304 cubic-inch AMC motor is that perfect powerplant that
combines Jeep-level robustness with V8 muscle. In fact, you have
great power upgrades, because this inhales deeply with a Holley
four-barrel carburetor. It exhales with authority as Hooker headers
add even more power while contributing to the growing side pipe
exhaust. The V8 fires up readily, and this Scrambler feels solid on
the road. Out the trail, this V8 is a great partner with the 4x4
components like the two-speed transfer case, Nitto Mud Grappler
tires, and sturdy axles at both ends. Add in power steering and
power brakes w/discs up front, and this is truly an unbeatable
package.
Scramblers are an awesome way to enjoy vintage Jeep looks while
getting added rarity and versatility. So when you can find a nicely
finished example like this one, you know you need to hurry if you
want to take it home. Call now!
