JEEP SCRAMBLER - 1983 CJ8

Few opportunities to buy a scrambler. especially one with this great frame and the fiberglass body is worth thousandssssss alone - no rust body future!!!! Mileage shown is exceeded mechanical limits and is shown as such on title. This was a previous frame off resto-mod. Engine runs strong always starts. previous owner had built with; roller rockers. aluminum intake. double hump heads. racing pan with nearly 8 quart capacity. nbsp;other mods. No leaks. Jeeps tracks down road very straight with very. very little correction necessary at any speed. Extras: I have an older half soft top and soft doors that are great for off road use. The zippers on the top need attention and one of the upper half doors has a slightly bent frame. The original bulk head that installs behind the front seats is included. Originally I installed 4:56 final drive gears front and rear. This was a little to tall for around town driving. so I replaced them with 4:10 gears. The barely used 4:56 gears go with the jeep. Runs. drives everywhere (i mean absolutely anywhere). very dependable. driven often. nbsp;great fun and ohhhh what looks you will get. Why selling? Ready for next project. only reason. period. It's really a great jeep. I hate to see it go. Feel free to ask any questions or for specific
