Not sure what you mean about the history of your jeep. Do you mean what options it came with from the factory? That might somewhat be decoded by the VIN # and trim tag. If you mean history of ownership that would be an autocheck/Carfax report of some sort. AMC did not keep good records of what they built so getting a MARTI type report (like they do for Fords) is not an option. Not sure there was ever a California edition Scrambler, but if it has a serpentine belt setup on the engine it was originally sold in California. As for price, it would be what others are willing to pay. Asking prices have been high these last few years. Condition also factors into price as well. Hope this helps.

Might have a "Carb Check" light?
 
Post more pictures of the interior and the engine bay, and we can tell you more.
 
Not to hijack, but how is it a "Renegade" and not a "Scrambler" (hood decal)...? Was there a "Renegade" edition of the Scrambler?

I think I heard Dennis Collins say that 85 and 86 were the only years they said renegade instead of Scrambler.
