This 1981 Jeep Scrambler CJ8 is a sharp-looking 4x4. More than just stylish, you\'ll love to discover that this has been under the care of the same owner for all its life so far. It makes for decades of higher-level mindfulness and investments. And there\'s even great paperwork to tell this Jeep\'s tale, too. So the beauty of this Scrambler is far more than just skin deep.
The iconic look of a CJ Jeep meets the utility of pickup - that\'s what makes the Scrambler so instantly attractive. But this one has much more going on here. The factory-correct Moonlight Blue paint was given a high-quality respray in 2014 and only about 650 miles have been driven since then. It has the kind of gloss and shine that really reminds you the advantages of discovering a one-owner classic. Plus, the silver decal package is a comprehensive style that looks really good against the deep blue. It highlights the style lines in the hood, fenders, and rockers. Plus, this two-tone silver complements the full brightwork package that includes the grille, bumpers, side mirrors, and 15-inch wheels (including the full-size spare on the swing away mount.) And since this has been a carefully-kept machine for 40 years, you get the little extras, like the original window sticker. It shows that this was born with desirable options, like the pricey hardtop and full doors, and even the wood rails on the bed were a factory option.
The interior shows more of the thoughtful care over the years. At first glance, it just looks like a preserved time capsule. But as you dig a little deeper, you see that the seats were reupholstered to look stock, but are now a supple leather. The radio has a vintage look, but it\'s a modern AM/FM digital tuner with aux input. So it makes it even better to open this one up to the world while driving all-day with your favorite music. A center console, tilt steering column, and a full set of clear gauges - including tach - all make this a great driver. And as pretty as this Scrambler is, it still has all the best features for an outdoor lifestyle. It ranges from the rugged floor mats with deep channels to the safety of the color-matched roll bar.
Under the hood is Jeep\'s 258 cubic-inch inline six. This is quite a desirable powerplant because it has spent decades at the heart of the best Jeeps, and the presentation here is just as tidy and exceptionally cared for as the rest of this Scrambler. And it\'s not hard to believe that such a well-respected one-owner vehicle like this is still running all of its original main drivetrain components. You can tell from the full presentation that here has been a solid investment in the engine bay to restore this to basically day-one status. But you\'ll also see the right upgrades like a Weber carb and a header package to keep this one running stout and strong. The two-speed transfer case and Goodyear wrangler tires give you true 4x4 capability. But far more than just a mud slinger, this CJ8 has great anytime driving features like power steering, power brakes, and front discs.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, warranty card, owner\'s manual packet, and service manuals. It takes a rarity like a one-owner vehicle to find a Jeep of this caliber. It has a level of fit, finish, and care you may never find again, so don\'t miss your chance. Call now!

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on . That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel offers/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning buyer, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making offers/offers.
SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase. CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle.
