1982 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler Original Unrestored A car is only original
once. In the sea of custom and over restored Jeeps this Scrambler
stands out from miles away. Inarguably the most original Scrambler
out there in the best color combo, black over tan. With less then
8000 units produced in 1982, they are getting really hard to find
specially in this condition. 90k miles on the odometer, 5 speed
manual transmission. With its original paint and decals this
Scrambler sure knows how to turn heads. This Jeep spent all his
life in California. It still has both original blue plates. The
body is straight, no rust anywhere just amazing patina. Never
painted, the bed is all original with no dings, the wood side
panels are original and further add to the Scramblers character.
Dealer installed old school Warn winch gives it even a tougher
look. I do have the original Marchal fog lights that it came with,
including the hard to find plastic covers. The interior is a
conversation piece on it's own. First thing you'll notice its the
original upholstery on the factory 60/40 bench seat. Yes, this
Scrambler is a 3 seater, with lap belt for the 3rd person. The dash
is original and uncut, still ahs the original radio and the
original ashtray. All the gauges work properly, odometer currently
showing just 91k miles. There's a modern blutooth radio installed
under the dash. Behind the seat there's a stealth alpine sub with
an amp. The center console has a custom made cupholder installed.
Again, nothing has been cut. In the bed there's a black aluminum
lockable tool box installed. While an effort was made to preserve
or try to keep everything as original as possible, there are some
reliability and period correct modifications done to the Jeep. It
has a 4'' lift with new shocks and bushings. 4 brand new BFG tires
on the factory wheels. Under the hood is nice and presentable. A
Howell TBI fuel injection system was installed, with check engine
light and OBD reader in the cabin. Lots of parts
