Description:
Introducing the 1983 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler, affectionately dubbed the “Tonka Truck.” This classic and muscle car is not just a vehicle; it’s a conversation starter that commands attention wherever it goes. With only 1 out of 28,000 Scramblers ever made, this one stands out as a unique 1 of 1. Its lifted stance, complemented by brand new 33x10.5 all-terrain tires, makes it look impressive and performs exceptionally well on any terrain.
Under the hood, this Jeep features a powerful AMC V-8 engine with a Demon electronic choke carburettor, ensuring quick starts and robust performance. The engine has been well-maintained, and the long block was replaced in 2012, providing peace of mind for any potential buyer. The drive type is four-wheel, perfect for off-road adventures or cruising around town.
The Jeep's exterior has been meticulously cared for. A full repaint was completed in 2022, transforming its colour from green to a striking white. The previous paint job was deemed poor quality, so a professional paint shop ensured this classic looks as good as it performs. The half-cab fibreglass hardtop with full steel doors adds to its rugged charm while protecting it from the elements.
Inside, the Jeep has modern amenities that enhance the driving experience. The interior features a bedliner on the floor for durability, and the dashboard includes a Retrosound Bluetooth radio, tachometer, and a centre console for added convenience. The vehicle has undergone several cosmetic improvements, including new wheels and tires, a clutch replacement, and a polished aluminium bed.
This Jeep is not just about looks; it has been well-maintained mechanically. The owner has focused on cosmetic and mechanical enhancements, ensuring it runs smoothly and looks fantastic. Recent servicing of the diffs, oil, transmission, and transfer case means this vehicle is ready for its next adventure without any immediate concerns.
While there are some minor issues, such as a slight peeling of the interior bedliner and a master cylinder leak, these are typical for a vehicle of this age and do not detract from the overall performance and appeal. The oil pressure remains stable, and any leaks have been addressed, ensuring this Jeep is reliable and ready to hit the road.
The undercarriage has been painted black to protect against rust. While there is minimal evidence of past rust on the underside, it has been treated, and no active rust is present. This attention to detail means the Jeep is a fun ride and a solid investment.
With its unique features, powerful engine, and excellent condition, this 1983 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler is an outstanding choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re looking to turn heads on the street or take on challenging off-road trails, this Jeep is equipped to handle it all with style and confidence.
