"1983 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler
""For Jeep enthusiasts and collectors, the Jeep Scrambler represents an iconic piece of 4x4 history. As a unique blend of Jeep's rugged offroad capabilities and practical pickup utility, the Scrambler holds a special place in the hearts of those who appreciate classic, durable vehicles. Before the Jeep Scrambler made its debut, Jeep had a rich history of creating robust pickup trucks. One of the most notable predecessors was the Jeep Gladiator SJ, which was introduced in 1962. This model laid the groundwork for Jeep's future in the pickup market. However, it wasn't until the 1980's that Jeep introduced the Scrambler, a more compact and versatile truck designed to appeal to a broader audience."" Carbuzz.com
For consignment, a 1983 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler showing 1,182 miles, but the true miles are unknown. Per our consignor, these are the miles since the end of the four year restoration which was completed in 2021 and conducted by Wilson's 4x4 in Holly Hill, Florida.
Exterior
It doesn't get much cooler than this, a show quality Scrambler bathed in two stage Orange Crush paint which doesn't pass on the bull bar, roll bar, side steps or bumpers. The contrasting black cab cover is the perfect complement to the 15-inch black wheels with orange pin striping and 37x14.50R15LT tires with a late 2019 date code. Side mirrors, door handles, and Jeep embossing are all expressed in black and up front, a Warn winch is perched in front of the grille and LED headlights. Metalcloak supplies the side steps and tubular fenders rising high over the tires with a 4 ½ inch Rubicon Express lift kit and a spare tire hangs high off the back end. The bed is clean and Rhino coated and a few paint chips are the only imperfections found.
Interior
Smooth black door cards set the palette for the inside, clean and leading to diamond stitched black leather bucket seats with four point PRP harnesses in orange. Up front, a three spoke steering wheel leads to a nice orange dashboard with neatly lined knobs, a Sniper EFI screen, speakers, and orange faced gauges. Shifters and selectors rise from the Rhino coated floor with rubber tread mats protecting and a center console affords storage and the requisite dual cup holder. A sliding rear window and white ceiling completes our tour of this immaculate interior.
Drivetrain
Show worthy in every way, pop the latches and reveal the 350ci V8, polished, painted, and powder coated. It's fueled via a Holley Sniper EFI system and mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic that routes power to the Dana 44 Auburn limited slip rear differential and the Dana 30 up front, each with 4.56 gears. Headers, power brakes and power steering are on board.
Undercarriage
Absolutely spotless underneath with no evidence of mud, let alone the road! Here you'll find leaf springs at both ends and power brakes with discs up front and drums in back. Dual exhaust travels through FlowMaster mufflers exiting through big chrome tips behind each rear wheel. There are no catalytic converters on board.
Drive-Ability
We hoist ourselves up into this orange joy ride, and baby her around the test loop where power is evident under foot and the wide knobbies make their presence known on the tarmac, along with a sweet exhaust note. We do find the brakes very weak and in need of some significant pressure to engage. The reverse lights are on in park, but not in reverse. Beyond these things, all functions work perfectly in this impressive Jeep. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
If you're a fan of Dennis Collins show Coffee Walk, you'll know that of all the Jeeps he's owned and worked on over the decades, the Scrambler is his favorite. And it's easy to see why; it stands out from the rest and presents a capable and functional ride and this one has the double duty of being show worthy at the same time!
