This 1985 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler is one of just 2,015 built for the model year and was restored between 2010-2012. Finished Sebring Red over black interior, the vehicle reportedly remains in original specifications apart from the addition of a Vintage Air A/C system. Based on the CJ7, the Scrambler features a longer 103” wheelbase and functional pickup bed. Power comes from an AMC-built 258ci inline-six paired to an optional Tremec four-speed manual transmission, and the truck is also equipped with power steering and brakes. It reportedly resided in a private collection until 2018 in the US, and has been in a collection in France since then. This CJ8 is now being offered on consignment by the selling dealer in France with a clean Carfax, a clear Oklahoma title and European import papers stating all import duties are aid. French registration can be provided.

The all-metal body was reportedly removed the chassis and refinished in the original Sebring Red (3B) during the restoration. Chrome front and rear bumpers, factory badging, and spare tire carrier remain installed, and the seller recently acquired a set of reproduction silver and grey graphics which will be included in the sale. Close-ups of the tailgate, bed surface, and factory removable hardtop can be seen in the gallery below.

The 15” wheels wear 30×9.5″ Goodyear Wranglers and the ride height is said to be stock. Manual locking front hubs came equipped on the CJ8 from the factory with a Dana front axle and Dana 300-series transfer case.

The restored interior is a mix original and reproduction components, with the factory stereo and instruments present in the center of the dash. An air-conditioning system from Vintage Air has been installed, and 71k miles are currently shown on the odometer.

The 258ci inline-six is said to remain in stock specification, with a factory air-cleaner, single downdraft carburetor, and catalyzed exhaust. An optional Tremec four-speed manual gearbox sends power to the transfer case, and a service in early January 2023 consisted of a mechanical inspection and oil change.
