The Scrambler search is over.

[Petescj]

Being the impatient guy I am Ive run the Gamut in my Scrambler search. Yesterday I finally put some cash down on a Scrambler project. I was going to take a look at , and probably buy the brown one in Jersey Ive posted a few times. Well that changed with a text , then call from a trusted source down in Virginia. My friend ran across a Scrambler that was outside the distance he wanted to travel so he quickly contacted me. Here are a couple pics I got.









Now dont let the pics fool you this is a bit of a project. It has a spark issue along with the fuel not pumping from the tank. Theres a sheet of diamond plate in the rear covering a hole wich will be fixed. Overall Im pretty excited though. The big selling point for Vicki was its an automatic. It should be a fun project. Cant wait to bring that V-8 to life. Working out the shipping and such this week.

Every Jeep has a story. Supposedly the one in the bed was removed cause it leaked from everywhere. The replacement was dropped in but it never ran after that. Minimal spark and the dizzy is a 2 wire compared to a 3 wire. I'll work it out. Its worth what Im paying with no drivetrain.

That ain't no stinkin' project. a widdle o'd hole, a simple HEI drop in and some fuel line work. Heck that ain't nothin'. ............... Cool man looks really good. If it's nearly as nice as it looks in the pictures you are a big time WINNER my friend. Are you getting the spare engine too? If so a nice little rebuild and you are in bidness. Are they both AMC V8's?

Actually your right in that sense. Not a huge project to get up and running...but their all projects. I get both engines but they're 304s. The one thatsin it is supposed to be cammed and such but we will see.

Looks like a nice score. Congrats! I hope to build one myself someday but that wont happen for a few more years when I retire. Good luck with the build.

Congratulations, looks like a fun project.

I'm Not that patient. Good luck on your retirement project.

Your not fooling anyone, your plenty worthy.

Very nice Pete can't wait to see what your going to do with it.

Pretty simple. Get her cleaned up and running, full soft top and some other upgrades then out camping.

Well now everyone is going to know why I jumped on it. Not often you see a CJ8 like this for $2200.

I thought of asking for pics of the Waggy but the wife helped me restrain myself.

Congrats Pete

Thanks. I really liked the brown one in Nj but couldn't pass this up.

Congrats on the 8. It must be fast; it's got a hood scoop.

Heck yeah. It comes with the original hood but a tree branch fell on it. I think that scoop might grow on me. Time will tell.

Ugh, beat me to it.



Nice find!!!

Also good to see someone listened to the poll they placed....

UShip? you don't need no stinkin UShip! borrow a trailer and pickup and go get it! Won't cost anymore than shipping and a 3 day weekend will cover the time.

Pete, my CJ7 TF999 auto has a AMC 304 . If it were a 360 driving the 35's, I'd likely do sumpin stoopid and tear up drive train parts. I have yet to have to get out of the cab and lock the front hubs. Pulls like a big John Deere through all the mudholes I couldn't drive around.
