I'm selling my
rare, very nice 1981 Jeep Scrambler. It is collectible and ready to
cruise.
This beauty has been built piece by piece from the ground up, capped with a straight-from-the-paint-booth professional, 6 mil paint job. This is the perfect toy for the perfect day. It has been professionally built and adult owned. In the past decade, it has racked up less than 1000 total miles. In that time period, it has never spent the night outside. It has a 100% rust free, clean body, and has never been off-road or abused. My painter claims he’s never seen anything like it. Today, the Scrambler has a strong, rebuilt 304 V8 engine, backed by a rebuilt T-15 transmission: maybe the heaviest-duty 3-speed ever made. It runs great, and has absolutely no known drivetrain flaws. The build quality is evident as soon as you take it on the highway. Even with the lift and massive, 35-inch Super Swampers, the Scrambler tracks very well, with less wandering than the typical, standard-sized CJ. The drivetrain is tight and responsive, and there are no significant leaks or drips.
This Scrambler moved from South Florida to central Missouri about 12 years ago. The entire body was replaced (full steel body), and repainted. Next, the under-powered straight-six was swapped out with a 304 V8 from a full-size jeep and rebuilt. It was mated to a rebuilt T-15 three speed and a rebuilt Dana 300 transfer case at that time. The Scrambler has been built and modified piece by piece, upgraded over time. The entire drivetrain, suspension, body, interior, and electrical have been gone through and updated. I’d classify this as a very nice daily-driver+ quality vehicle all around. The only known defects are a bouncy speedometer (fairly standard) and intermittent gas gauge (likewise). All of the gauges and sending units are new. Today, it’s driven on nice days and, frankly, not enough. Drivetrain: Small block V8, 304 CID: rebuilt, less than 1000 miles Headers Holley carburetor T-15, heavy duty, 3-speed transmission; generally considered the heaviest-duty 3-speed transmission ever manufactured: rebuilt, less than 1000 miles Dana 300 transfer case: widely considered the best transfer case ever manufactured; rebuilt, less than 1000 miles Dana 44 (upgraded) rear axle, replacing the standard Model 20 rear end Dana 30 front end New front disc brakes; stops great
Body 100% rust-free body New neoprene body grommits Rock solid frame Fold-down windshield (which I’ve never had down) Rugged Ridge double front bumper Custom, super heavy duty rear bumper Bushwacker fender flares
Paint This is a one-week old paint job, professionally done. It is a true, 6-mil, three-stage paint job. Needless to say, this isn’t typically what you find on a classic jeep. The first coat is Deltron epoxy primer; if you know your paint, you know that this is as good as it gets. No exterior surface has less than two coats of PPG 4273 Radiant Fire Red. Everything was wet sanded and buffed appropriately. Wheels and tires 35-inch Super Swamper tires Warn locking hubs Interior High-back, BesTop Aqua front seats, in excellent condition Completely Linx’d interior All new gauges All new sending units Locking Tuffy center console, set up for concealed stereo, in excellent condition New heater core and defroster unit Billet aluminum knobs
Extras All trim pieces are stainless steel Hard half-doors, in good condition Bikini top, in good condition Lots of spare parts, should you want them, including Original exhaust brackets Army jerry cans An antifreeze return system (not installed) 1981 Chilton’s CJ guide A pair of stainless steel 1000lb tow hooks A new WindJammer, which I’ve never had on Anything else I might turn up
Legal If you have any reservations whatsover, don’t buy an old jeep. If you have any questions whatsoever, please ask. If you would like pictures of anything in particular, please let me know prior to bidding. I very strongly encourage you to inspect the vehicle prior to purchase. I will be happy to facilitate you and/or your chosen mechanic’s inspection prior to the end of the auction. I try to be as thorough as possible, but I’m not an expert or a mechanic, so please take the time to ask questions, pay close attention to all of the pictures, and be thorough in your research as to what you’re willing to pay. At the end of the day, the vehicle is listed in ‘AS-IS’ condition, and no warranties or guarantees are made or implied.
Ultimately, by bidding you are entering into a legal contract. There will be no exceptions, and I won’t hesitate to utilize all appropriate legal avenues to enforce the bidding contract. The winning bidder will pay a $1000 non-refundable deposit at the close of the auction. The balance will be paid within 48 hours. I’m happy to accept funds via wire transfer or cash.

Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
