This Jeep starts instantly, and runs, steers, brakes, and drives down the road as well as any Jeep on the market today, and it turns heads in the process. Turn off the road, and it will tackle any task or any trail you care to throw at it: This 1983 CJ8 Scrambler has 128k original miles and a clear Virginia title. The mileage is probably irrelevant as nearly everything on this Jeep has been rebuilt or replaced. The Jeep has approximately 100 miles since full rebuild: · The original body was removed and replaced with ALL NEW METAL (brand new tub, fenders, grill, hood, windshield frame with new glass, tailgate, everything!) The Jeep is painted Infinity Autumn Copper Metallic, two coats color, two coats clear, and it pops in the sunlight! The bottom of the tub and wheel wells received fresh undercoating prior to reassembly. · The motor, transmission, transfer case, all fuel lines, brake lines, and wiring were removed, and the entire rolling chassis (frame, axles, suspension) was professionally sandblasted and coated with two coats of ZeroRust chassis paint. · The Front (Dana 30) and rear (Dana 44) axles are regeared with new 4.10 gears and ARB selectable air lockers in BOTH axles - A fender mounted compressor powers the air lockers. The ARB compressor and Front and rear locker controls are housed in an aluminum panel below the dash. · The suspension is a 4½ inch BDS leaf spring lift with full military wrap spring eyes, BDS shocks, and sway bar disconnects. Heavy Duty shackles and a 1” body lift give the Jeep approximately 6 total inches of lift. · The motor is a rebuilt AMC 360 V8 (4k miles) with an Edelbrock Performer intake, Brand New Holley Truck Avenger carburetor and DUI ignition with Live Wires. The motor was opened up, verified clean as a whistle, and resealed with new gaskets. It runs cool, smooth, and strong, no leaks! · The transmission is a bulletproof 4-spd T18 that shifts perfectly. The transfer case is a Dana 20 which also shifts perfectly. The flywheel was machined and reassembled with a brand new clutch kit (pressure plate, t/o bearing and pilot bushing.) · The custom dual exhaust exits through “inside the frame” headers, turbo mufflers and dual catalytic converters. The exhaust exits symmetrically as it should 45 degrees behind the rear wheels - Sounds fantastic! · The power brakes are brand new from the pedal to the pads.

This Jeep should be seen and driven to appreciate it - I highly encourage you to inspect it prior to bidding. This is not a show Jeep but it's darn close. While it wasn't built with the showroom in mind, it would probably be at home in one. It was built to look great but, most importantly, it was built to PERFORM.....and it will! The Jeep is sold as is, where is, with no warranty provided, only my word that you won't be disappointed. Please review all pictures carefully and ask any questions prior to bidding - I will do my absolute best to answer your questions quickly and accurately.

Vehicle shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer, but I will be happy to assist the winning bidder any way that I can (meet shipper, deliver to terminal (about 90 minutes away), or airport transfer (the Jeep is located about 20 minutes from the Norfolk VA International Airport.)) The Buy it now price includes a set of rust free hard doors, and Scrambler hard half cab, both in excellent shape - this will give the Jeep yet another complete top/door combination. There is a very reasonable reserve set on this Jeep, Bid to win – Good luck!
