Single-Family-Owned 1983 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler 5-Speed

This 1983 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler was acquired new by the seller’s father. The vehicle has not been registered for road use since 2020, and it was refinished in a Jurassic Park –tribute gray and red during a $10k repaint in 2022, which was followed by an $11k mechanical refurbishment in 2024. The work included a wiring overhaul, refreshing its fuel system and suspension, resealing its transfer case, and replacing the carburetor and muffler along with cooling and ignition components. The truck features a 258ci inline-six, a five-speed manual transmission, power steering, 15″ alloy wheels, 33″ tires, and Rugged Ridge bucket seats. This CJ-8 is offered with an accident-free Carfax report and a clean California title in the seller’s name. The body was finished at the factory in Olympic White (9B), and it was previously repainted yellow. In 2022, the truck was disassembled, dent and rust repairs were completed, the hardtop was smoothed, and the truck was primed and repainted in its current light gray and red. Jurassic Park graphics were then applied on the doors, and black fender flares were installed. The seller notes some blemishes around the vehicle, and yellow paint is showing on the right headlight bezel. The ride height is lifted over 33×12.50″ Falken Wildpeak A/T3W tires, which were mounted on Ultra 15″ alloys in 2024. Unassisted front disc brakes are paired with rear drums for stopping power. The black interior has Rugged Ridge high-back bucket seats, bedliner-coated floors, eight-ball shifters, and replacement seatbelts, door panels, and weatherstripping. Switches for the wipers and turn signals were also replaced in 2024. A stereo is not installed in the dashboard. A Grant GT steering wheel fronts the replacement dashboard pad. The 85-mph speedometer has a five-digit odometer showing 217 miles, while the seller reports driving ~89k miles under current ownership, and total mileage is unknown. The 258ci inline-six was factory rated at 115 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of
