About This Car
THIS… is a 1983 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler, finished in yellow with a black hardtop and a black interior.
- The attached Carfax history report starts in 1991 and lists no accidents since. It also shows that this CJ-8 has been California-owned since at least 1991.
- Modifications reported by the seller include an ATK 4.2-liter straight-6 crate engine, a Mopar fuel injection system, an auxiliary fuel tank, an aluminum radiator, a General Motors 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission, a SideWinder manual shifter, KC HiLiTES headlights, a roof basket, a bench seat in the cargo box, a WARN Industries rear bumper, a roll cage, a locking center console, and a Kenwood cassette player.
- Jeep launched the CJ-8 for 1981 as a longer and correspondingly more spacious evolution of the CJ-7. While it wasn’t the only pickup in the company’s range, the CJ-8 stood apart from the J-Series with a more leisure-oriented positioning and a removable top. Production ended in 1986 and the CJ-8 wasn’t directly replaced. However, its spirit lived on in the TJ-based Wrangler Unlimited released for 2005.
- Power comes from a 4.2-liter straight-6. It spins the rear or the four wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission.
