1981 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler – 304 V8 – 3-Speed Manual – Matte Green
Up for sale is my 1981 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler. I purchased the Jeep a few years ago after it had undergone an extensive cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment, and I have put very few miles on it since owning it. It runs and drives well — I’m only selling it because I’m purchasing a new truck and no longer have the space or time to enjoy it the way it deserves.
This Scrambler is powered by a strong-running 304ci V8 paired with a 3-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. It has the classic CJ-8 look with a matte green finish, matte black accents, and tasteful upgrades throughout.

The Jeep starts, runs, and drives well and gets attention everywhere it goes. It’s a great classic 4x4 that can be enjoyed as-is, used as a weekend cruiser, or further customized; it’s not show car quality but it gets plenty of looks wherever it goes.
Odometer shows approximately 64k miles, though true mileage is unknown due to age.
Clean title in hand.
Serious inquiries only.
