Vehicle Description
This 1982 Jeep J-10 Honcho has some terrific originality and
go-anywhere 4x4 ability. And of course, when you want true vintage
pickup distinction, nothing beasts the nods of approval you get in
a classic big Jeep.
The history on this pickup shows that most of its life was spent in
California. So you can imagine this one parked in-between the
redwoods. Then again, the full paint package really has the same
appeal as a desert sunset. The Copper Brown Metallic is accented by
shades of orange and yellow running down the sides, accenting the
creases of the hood, and even on the tailgate. It all looks to be
the original application, and so this is also believed to be a true
Honcho package. It has the right amount of vintage age that shows
decades of care while also making sure no one accuses you of owning
a trailer queen. And all the true truck features are
well-coordinated in white. The white bull bar bumper up front goes
with the white wheels that show off the lifted 4x4 stance. Plus,
there's the classic white Leer topper over the bed and a rear steel
bummer that's also done in clean white.
Just like the exterior, the interior has an unbeatable sense of
classic style. After all, the multi-tone inserts in the seatbacks
have the same appeal as the exterior stripe package. And we love
the J10's setup with two buckets and a handy armrest jump seat in
the middle. If you look closer, you can really see that while this
looks vintage, it's all part of a fresh investment in the interior.
So not only do you have newer upholstery on the seats, but also
great matching door panels, plush new carpeting, a taut headliner,
and much more. All the best classic features are in place, like a
sliding rear windows, provisions for factory air conditioning (will
need servicing,) and a true Jeep-branded AM/FM radio. And the
AMC/Jeep vehicles of this era had a sporty sensibility about them
with the machine-turned panel surround the round gauge package.
Under the hood is the 258 cubic-inch inline six that has become a
great torque king in many Jeeps. It combines with the two-speed 4x4
transfer case for some great off-road work. This one really is
ready for go-anywhere duty. That's why you have upgrades like the
PIAA lights and deep tread on the Toyo Open Country tires. Plus,
power steering, power brakes w/front discs, and the three-speed
automatic transmission are great features to have no matter if you
are on the street or trail.
The sale comes complete with a roll bar package in case you want to
replace the camper topper with a KC light setup. This really is a
macho Honcho with a great vintage style. Don't miss out, call
