Vehicle Description
The new Jeep Gladiator has re-ignited the passion for the classic
Jeep CJ8 Scrambler. This 1983 example really loves to show that
iconic style while also having investments in a fresher look. It
makes for a full package 4x4 that's versatile, vintage, and
absolutely head-turning.
The CJ8 Scrambler has the unmistakable look of a classic Jeep with
the iconic grille, removable panels, and go-anywhere stance. Still,
the Scrambler's production was far below its other CJ siblings.
That means owning one puts you in a rare fraternity. So it's ideal
to have an example like this that has the look of a good classic,
but you can also tell it has the individuality you want in a CJ.
The dark blue paint is a more recent upgrade that has a terrific
clearcoat shine. It's used for the full doors, hardtop, and roll
bar for a very sleek and uniform overall appearance. Even the
Scrambler's special truck bed has been done in color-matched liner
paint. And a nice accent to the dark blue are all the lighter
shades of blue on the new Scrambler hood decals and full-length
side stripes. There's even upgraded brightwork that shows off some
of the best ruggedness, too. It's in the tubular front bumper with
brush guard, matching rear bumper with tow hitch, and 18-inch Dick
Cepek wheels that really highlight the lifted 4x4 stance.
The hardtop and doors fit correctly to give you the feeling of a
true single cab truck. But the real fun of a Jeep is removing it
all to be open to the world. And while the interior looks pristine,
it was also made rugged for open-air duty. This includes bucket
seats with supple but durable vinyl, liner paint on the floor, and
a locking center console that also houses cup holders and the
AM/FM/CD stereo. And this is built to be a driver with a Grant
sports steering wheel on a tilt column and the gearshift seems to
be in the exact right place for your right hand.
Under the hood is Jeep's 258 cubic-inch inline-six. This is quite a
desirable powerplant because it has spent decades powering the best
Jeeps. It's hardy, torquey, and easy to maintain. Plus, this
example has been cared for correctly, including an upgraded
distributor, an Optima red top battery, and an added header to give
the exhaust added power and a nice tune. This kind of strong-runner
is an ideal pairing with the two-speed transfer case for true 4x4
capability. And the Nitto Desert Terrain tires have a well-done
tread. But far more than just a mud-slinger, this CJ8 has great
anytime driving features like power steering, power brakes, front
discs, and the control of a five-speed manual transmission.
This is the updated and upgraded rare Jeep Scrambler that has all
the features you want. So you know you don't want to let it slip
away. Call today!!!
