1982 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler 4×4 Convertible

This Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler Survivor (w/SR SPORT Package Option) has quite a lot of great FACTORY options… 6-Cylinder, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Air Conditioning, Tilt Wheel, Factory Wood Side Rails, OEM Trailer Hitch and optional spare tire carrier. It also has some nice Aftermarket Options… Cruise Control, fog lamps, Custom Heavy Vinyl Tonneau Bed Cover (nice for concealed storage) and side window tint.

The most recent owner purchased the Jeep in 1990 (with only 43,000 miles), the rear end and axles (along with other misc. parts) were included in the sale (and will also be included in this sale as well). What is amazing is that this owner had the Jeep in his garage for 28 years and drove it just over 3,000 miles! I have several receipts which show that he bought new aftermarket chrome wheels and Uniroyal Laredo tires within a few months of purchase. I was told he would start it regularly and drive locally for a cruise… but obviously it spent most of the time as a discussion piece in his Garage. I found several Sears Diehard Battery receipts in the file.
The Jeep runs and idles very smooth and is mostly untouched and stock in the engine compartment. Most of the hoses and even ignition wires are still original! I installed a new Dist. Cap and Rotor, changed the oil, cleaned the carb and installed new filters. It even still has the air pump for emissions but belt is removed and air injection tubes are rusted. There have been no leaks on the floor but it does have an exhaust leak at the manifold to exhaust pipe junction that needs fixed. Still has the Catalytic Converter.
The Four Speed Manual Transmission shifts like the day it left the Dealers Lot… incredibly smooth, tight and solid with no play in the shifter which gives me confidence in the very low mileage.
