This 1982 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler represents a rare and exceptionally well-executed example of Jeep's long-wheelbase classic, combining California provenance, period-correct style, and thoughtfully engineered upgrades. Sold new at County Wide Chrysler of Garden Grove, California, this lifelong 4x4 benefits from a dry-climate history and remains accompanied by its original bill of sale, window sticker, and promotional brochures, documentation seldom seen with Scramblers today. Showing just 686 miles recorded since its restoration, this CJ8 presents as a collector-grade example that is equally capable on the road or trail.

Finished in striking Jamaican Beige with factory-style Scrambler graphics, the exterior captures the unmistakable character that made the CJ8 iconic. A super-rare full-size hardtop adds both desirability and year-round usability, while factory roll bar, RCT front and rear bumpers, and a swing-away rear tire carrier with a full-size matching spare reinforce its rugged, purposeful stance. Dual rear-mounted jerry cans, upgraded LED headlight kit, Baja Rockcrawler wheels, and 32x11.50x15 BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires complete the look, blending classic Jeep aesthetics with modern functionality.

Under the hood lies a powerful 350ci V8 equipped with a fuel-injected TBI system, delivering reliable performance with improved drivability. Importantly, this engine conversion is California BAR-certified, meaning it is fully emissions compliant, an extremely rare and valuable feature for a V8-swapped CJ in today's regulatory environment. Power is routed through a stout 5-speed NV4500 manual transmission, paired with a Bushard clutch and durable Dana axles, making this Scrambler as robust as it is enjoyable to drive.

The drivetrain is further enhanced by a full-float rear end with an ARB rear air locker, offering exceptional traction when conditions demand it. An onboard ARB air compressor allows for quick locker engagement and tire adjustments on the fly. A lifted suspension featuring Conn-Ferr springs and shackles, combined with Rancho shocks, provides confident off-road capability while maintaining stable road manners. A Magnaflow exhaust adds a refined yet authoritative V8 tone befitting this classic Jeep.

Inside, the cabin blends classic CJ simplicity with tasteful upgrades. Nutmeg denim upholstery is complemented by Bestop low-back seats, a tilt steering wheel, and a full gauge package with an in-dash tachometer and billet dash knobs. A Kenwood CD player with Bluetooth adds modern convenience, while the factory Convenience Group enhances everyday usability without detracting from the Scrambler's authentic feel.

Finished with a full stainless hardware package throughoutcovering hinges, latches, and exterior details, this CJ8 Scrambler stands out for both its attention to detail and its rarity. With low post-restoration mileage, exceptional documentation, and a carefully engineered, emissions-compliant V8 conversion, this 1982 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler is a standout example that appeals equally to collectors, enthusiasts, and those seeking one of the most versatile and desirable classic Jeeps ever produced.
