1983 Jeep Cj8 Scrambler on 2040-cars

Year:1983 Mileage:139000
Location:

For sale is a 1983 Jeep CJ8 Scramber, it was originally purchased from Davenport Motors Inc.  in Elizabeth City North Carolina.  It changed hands in 1987 according to the title, and spent the rest of its life in Bena Virginia. I believe it is mostly original, accept for a new re-manufactured engine that it received in the early 90's.  It has a 258 Inline 6 cylinder engine, T-176 4spd transmission, and a Dana 300 transfer case.  The front axle is a Dana 30 and the rear axle is a Model 20, both wide track.  When I purchased it, I removed the rusted windshield frame, fuel tank and tail gate.  I have a YJ windshield frame to replace the old, and a newer tailgate.  I also replace the fuel tank with a new one along with new fuel lines and recovered the front seats with military canvas.   The rear differential cover has ring gear teeth marks from some type of failure in the past, but it has been repaired.  I have the cover off right now to replace the fluid, and I also have new axle seals.  I have the front diff cover off as well.  I also have a new radiator and shocks that needs to be installed.  With these parts installed, it is a good running, driving jeep. It does have some rust, the rocker panels are the worst of it.  There are rust holes in the passenger floor board corner, and there is rust at the very rear, center of the tub and a 308 caliber exit wound in the passenger kick panel.  I have already sold the top, doors and bulkhead.  This is somewhat of a project, but it is a solid jeep.  The windshield glass will need to be switched from the old to the new windshield, and it will need a set of mirrors.  I sand blasted and painted the wheels, and have a great set of Jeepster hub caps that fit.  Vin# 1CJJM88EXDT021019 Let me know if you have any questions, I will be glad to answer or add pictures.  Jeep is also for sale locally.  Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping cost.  Thank you

Jeep Cherokee finally dealer-bound

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

We had our First Drive of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee last month, but it appears that prospective buyers won't have too much longer to finally get time behind the wheel of the new small Jeep.
Automotive News is reporting that after a two-month delay, Jeep dealers will finally start receiving their first shipments of the new Cherokee, in the next 10 days. A Chrysler spokesperson confirmed to Autoblog that the Cherokee is indeed on its way to Jeep dealers.
According to AN, about 23,000 Cherokees have been built since production commenced back in June, but potential powertrain issues forced Jeep to make adjustments to the Cherokee along the way. Automotive News says that in order to make sure there are no issues with the Cherokee before it reaches customers, it is testing each vehicle after it rolls off the assembly line at a rented test track near the vehicle's Toledo North Assembly Plant.
