Garage Kept Motors is proud to present this exceptional 1982 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler, finished in its factory-correct and highly desirable Jamaica Beige. This Scrambler represents a rare opportunity to own a California-kept example that has been extensively upgraded while retaining its authenticity and documentation. Included with the Jeep are the original bill of sale, window sticker, purchase order, and factory paperwork items seldom seen together and highly valued by collectors.

Under the hood is a professionally installed 350ci V8 featuring fuel-injected TBI, paired with a robust 5-speed NV4500 manual transmission and Bushard clutch. Most notably, this engine conversion is California BAR-certified, making it fully emissions compliant. A difficult and costly process that significantly adds to the vehicle's desirability. Power is delivered through Dana axles with a full-float rear end, ARB rear air locker, and onboard ARB compressor, making this Scrambler equally capable on the trail or highway. A Magnaflow exhaust provides a deep, refined tone without being overbearing.

The suspension has been properly upgraded with Conn-Ferr springs and shackles, Rancho shocks, and sits confidently on 32-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires mounted to Baja Rockcrawler wheels. Exterior enhancements include heavy-duty RCT bumpers, a swing-away rear tire carrier with a full-size matching spare, dual jerry cans, upgraded LED headlights, and a super-rare full-size hardtop. The full stainless hardware package throughout the vehicle further elevates its quality and long-term durability.

Inside, the Scrambler maintains its classic Jeep utility while offering thoughtful upgrades for comfort and drivability. Bestop low-back seats, a tilt steering wheel, full gauge package with in-dash tachometer, billet dash knobs, and a Kenwood Bluetooth-enabled stereo bring modern convenience to a rugged interior. Factory options such as the Cold Weather Climate Group and Convenience Group add further usability. This CJ8 presents beautifully inside and out, with an underside as clean as the exteriortrue to its California roots.

This 1982 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler is a rare blend of documented originality, professional upgrades, and off-road capability. Whether you're a collector, enthusiast, or adventurer, this Scrambler stands as a standout example of Jeep's rugged heritage. Ready to be driven, shown, and enjoyed.
