Vehicle Description
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.
