For Sale: 1988 Suzuki Samurai in Mesa, Arizona

Classic Car Addict is excited to present this 1988 Suzuki Samurai 4x4 for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. The Samurai was the first four-wheeled vehicle Suzuki sold in the U.S., but its history begins nearly 20 years before the plucky little 4x4 made its way across the Pacific. In 1968, Japan's Hope Motor Company introduced a small Kei-class 4x4 with a 359cc Mitsubishi engine called the ON360. Suzuki bought Hope and developed the ON360 into the 1970 LJ10 ("Light Jeep"), also known as the Jimny. Badged as the Samurai, the U.S. version had a carbureted 1.3-liter overhead-cam four-cylinder delivering 63 horsepower and 74-lb-ft of torque.

The front bucket seats and a rear bench are trimmed in patterned gray cloth with black vinyl sides. A JVC CD stereo and heater controls are housed in the center stack. The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 95-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 80K miles.

The truck is finished in white and exterior equipment includes flared wheel arches, rear mud flaps, and dual side mirrors. The 15" white wheels are mounted with 215/75R15 tires. The truck was factory equipped with manually locked front Aisin hubs and stopping power is provided by front discs and rear drums.

The 1.3-liter inline-four features a single carburetor and was factory rated at 63 horsepower. Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. It will be sold with a clean Carfax with no accidents, California/Arizona car only.

The vehicle will be sold on a clean Arizona title. Call Classic Car Addict today at 480-256-1459.
