Jeep CJ 1981 Description

1981 JEEP Scrambler CJ-8 SL Sport

In April 2010, Craig Fitzgerald of Hemmings Motor News, wrote the following in his review of these rare classics, “Low production makes the CJ-8 a desirable JEEP. Finding a CJ-8 is certainly more difficult than finding one of the more plentiful CJ-7’s, but they are out there, finding one in completely stock configuration is another matter”. (to read full article google "Hemmings Motor News, Craig Fitzgerald, 1981-85 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler".


Well here is that super-uber-duper rare opportunity to own a gorgeous stock-original JEEP Scrambler CJ-8 SL Sport.

Made in the USA by the American Motor Company (AMC).

Excellent running condition with ONLY 33,242 original miles (53,498 kms).

Ownership history cared for this triple-black-beauty with museum white-gloves.

Currently stored in a heat-controlled environment and only driven on sunny Sunday's.

No rust, no accidents, clear title, clean CarProof, original manual and 2 sets of keys.

Fewer than 28,000 CJ-8’s were produced and stock-originals rarely become available.

Rust buckets, restoration projects, frame-offs, pimp-outs are out there - none will ever be as cool and hold their value like a loaded-stock-original in show-room-condition with low-mileage!

Purchased at an antique car show - had to beg the previous owner to sell it.

In agony having to part ways with my amazing rare-classic JEEP Scrambler, kids are threatening to dust-dad, buying a business so I need the cash and the room in my garage.

Send me an email and I will reply to your questions and provide a copy of the clean CarProof.

Serious inquiries only!

Thanks and happy JEEPin!
