US $27,000.00

Year:1984 Mileage:554

Location:

Austin, Texas, United States

Selling my 1983 Jeep Scrambler CJ-8 in literally perfect condition. It has been undergoing a frame-off restoration for the last 7 years with the previous owners that I bought it from right down to the nuts and bolts. I bought it from them and finished it in Austin with my company, Vintage Innovations, and Jeep Masters. Everything on this is new or like new. Has everything that you love about these old Scramblers, and none of what you hate. The partition in the front of the bed has been removed in favor of the entire cab being open, which makes it feel like a very long CJ-7. The original gauges were all replaced with an aftermarket gauge cluster to improve accuracy, and the tall hard doors were traded for the more recent TJ doors. The soft top is fantastic, and easily flips back in seconds. She has a 3-inch suspension lift which I think makes it look way better with the length of these, and brand new BF Goodrich 33x12.50's all the way around. There are only 550 miles on this since the restoration was completed, she hasn't even had her first oil change yet.
You will literally need rotator cuff surgery from all the high-5's you'll be getting in this thing. The response to it is a lot of fun, Jeep fans go nuts when they see it. It is, for all intents and purposes, the equivalent of a "new" Jeep, but WAY cooler because its a classic...and less than 1/2 the price of the new Rubicons.
I buy cars as a hobby and sell them, this Jeep has been an awesome project and I am really on the fence about selling it. I have a number that I will let it go for, otherwise I'll just keep it.
The mechanical details: fresh crate 258 straight 6 with 4-barrel carburetor, not even broken in yet. Behind that is a new Jeep 4-speed manual trans. Front manual lock-outs from Warn, front and back bumpers from TKH fabrication. Back bumper holds a full-size spare with matching wheel, and high-lift jack.
Interior is awesome, complete with bucket seats from Black Mountain with matching Black Mountain removable back seat. Front cab has black carpet, rear bed is freshly painted with almost zero scratches (my dog rides in it when I take him to the park, so there may be a small one somewhere). Paint is a 9 out of 10, there are a few very small chips that were a product of the restoration but it looks fantastic. This Jeep is ready to be a daily driver, or a weekend warrior. I have barely even had time to enjoy it after we recently acquired a new tour bus project we just started in the shop, and my office is pretty pissed at me for putting this up for sale (they all love it too).
This is hands down one of the nicest Scramblers out there, and owning it is going to be a LOT of fun for someone. I have bought and sold over 45 cars, this one is one of my favorites. There just isn't that many of these out there, and this one is the cleanest one you will find.
What I would do to this if I kept it:
I would delete the carburetor in favor of the Mopar fuel injection, it would get the horsepower up to 200 pretty consistently. While I wouldn't really wheel this thing hard if someone wanted to I would buy a winch on a receiver hitch to use for the fun spots, both the front and back bumpers have receivers. I am installing a factory Jeep steering wheel back in it and ditching the Grant, I'm not a huge fan of the Grant steering wheels. I had planned on getting a hard top for it as well, and having the back set up for sleeping and camping out of it since I like taking trips out in to national parks, etc all the time. Outside of that, the Jeep is exactly where I wanted it to end up. It will be handed off looking like a new car, she's in moth balls at my warehouse where I store all of my classic vehicles. I am taking her out today for a little tan maintenance before I let her go. :)

Feel free to message me with any specific questions or photo requests, I will try to get as many pics as possible up today to make sure you can see just how nice this is.

Mopar updates owner apps to make car ownership easier

Wed, Jun 3 2015

Owners of any Fiat Chrysler vehicle will want to head to the Apple App or Google Play store to download the latest version of their brand-specific smartphone app. Developed by Mopar, the new suite of FCA Owner apps specific to each brand pack a number of valuable features. For starters, the apps let owners access information like maintenance schedules, service history and recall notices. The apps also include an array of how-to information and instructional videos, offer push notification for important updates like maintenance offers and recall alerts, and allow customers to schedule test drives and receive quotes from their local dealers for new vehicles. But that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The FCA Owner apps also feature an augmented reality function that helps drivers identify instrument-panel icons. There's a Parking Reminder feature that helps drivers remember where they parked their car, guides them back to their parking spot and tracks the time left on the meter. Finally, there's an Accident Assistant feature that helps drivers record the specifics of an accident, upload insurance information and take photos of the scene. It'll even help find the closest certified collision repair facility, schedule an appointment and access roadside assistance. The apps are available for any Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat or Alfa Romeo built from 2011 till today, and are available for either iOS or Android. If you've got more than one FCA vehicle in your garage, you needn't download multiple versions of the app as they'll work on any model the Italian-American automaker offers. Mopar Enhances FCA Owner Apps - Redesigned FCA Owner apps offer a wide range of VIN-specific information - Owners can access maintenance schedules, service history, recall notices and more - "Augmented reality" function, beginning with 2015 models, allows owners to use camera feature on mobile devices to scan and identify instrument panel icons - Industry-first Accident Assistant feature helps owners easily document important accident information and quickly locate a certified repair facility - Individual brand versions of the app support all FCA brand vehicles - FCA Owner apps are free to download for both iOS and Android mobile devices May 29, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Mopar brand has redesigned and enhanced its suite of FCA Owner apps, putting more resources than ever at owners' fingertips with easier access to vehicle and lifestyle information.

Jeep Renegade's development a template for new Fiat Chrysler Auto

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

The international makeup of the 2015 Jeep Renegade will serve as a template for cooperation within the newly formed Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Senior Vice President of Product Design Ralph Gilles said.

2015 Jeep Renegade brings the cute

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The jig is up, the noose is out, we finally found it: the Renegade that Jeep has made, retrieved for a bounty.
Okay, enough of that. Meet the Renegade - Jeep's cute little compact crossover that makes its official debut here at the Geneva Motor Show. We recently brought you a massive Deep Dive into what makes the Renegade tick, and we're now getting our first live look at the tiny Jeep, live from its coming out party in Switzerland.
With the exception of associate editor Jonathon Ramsey, who doesn't know what he's talking about, we at Autoblog are kind of smitten with the little Jeep - it's a really unique package, featuring details that really make it kind of special (notice that jerry can pattern in the taillights, for example). Jeep will offer the Renegade with either a 1.4-liter turbo-four (from the Fiat 500L) or a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four (from the Dodge Dart), with either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. There will even be a Trailhawk version with four-wheel drive - properly trail-rated, to boot. The Renegade also features a nifty new My Sky removable roof panel system, giving this little cutie sort of a baby Wrangler feel.
