1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler
LS V8 | 4L60E Auto | 4x4 | $34,500
Perpetrol is proud to offer this exceptional 1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler, a rare and rugged example of one of Jeep’s most collectible off-road icons. Built during a limited six-year production run, fewer than 2,000 Scramblers were produced in 1985, making this lifted and restored example a standout both in capability and condition.
Finished in gunmetal gray with black accents, this Scrambler captures the timeless appeal of classic Jeep design while benefiting from tasteful upgrades. The exterior features contrasting black fender flares, bumpers, and Scrambler decals, giving it a confident and purposeful stance. A half hardtop and steel doors transform it into a capable pickup-style setup, while a custom welded roll bar and bed rack add utility. The bed is lined with spray-in bedliner for durability, and a Warn winch, heavy-duty bumpers, and full-size spare round out its trail-ready look.
Inside, the Scrambler has been refreshed with new black vinyl bucket seats, a locking center console with cup holders, and a bedlined floor for easy cleaning. The dashboard features factory gauges set in a custom bezel, paired with a modern AM/FM Bluetooth stereo, B&M shifter, and auxiliary gauges for added reliability.
Under the hood lies a 5.3L LS Vortec V8 paired with a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and 2-speed transfer case, delivering reliable and effortless power. Supporting hardware includes a large aluminum radiator, ram air intake, power steering, and power front disc brakes. The suspension has been upgraded with a Rough Country lift, steering stabilizer, and 35x12.5x15 BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, giving it a commanding stance and smooth ride on or off the pavement. It does have a couple quirks but over all is a very reliable vehicle and is a blast to drive.
This Scrambler embodies the perfect blend of classic Jeep character and modern dependability. From its LS V8 power to its attention to detail throughout the build, it’s an ideal choice for collectors, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a reliable and truly unique 4x4.
