"The term "Overlander" was only used by Jeep Australia as a marketing term. There are only right-hand-drive (RHD) Overlanders and they were only produced in 1984 and sold in 1984 and 1985. Additionally, there are pre-1984 CJ-8's in Australia that are not Overlanders, but are true Scramblers with the standard Scrambler package and RHD drivetrain. There are also 1984 and 85 worldcab CJ-8's in Australia that are not "Overlanders" as they came with the Laredo package and were decaled and badged as such. There ARE worldcab-equipped export Jeeps in several other countries, but they are not "Overlanders" and may or may not be RHD. Venezuela is an example of where the LHD version of a worldcab is quite prevalent and you often see them on the road in both CJ7 and CJ8 (CJ7 Chasiss Largo or LlaneroII) version. In Venezuela, they sold a worldcab version of the CJ-8 until 1987 and later, and YJ-8 version until appx 1990. I have met owners of Worldcab CJ-8's from Israel, Austria, Germany and have had contact with owners from Brazil, South Africa and France. Most of those versions were LHD export Jeeps outfitted with the Worldcab. I do not know total numbers of these units produced, Jeep of Australia shut down in 1986 and did not relanch until the era of the TJ Wrangler, so most of those records, as with AMC records in the US, are spotty or completely gone. There are at least 5 Overlanders that have been imported from Australia to the US, and one LHD export Worldcab version that never left and was found in a warehouse on the east coast several years ago. Currently, the nicest and most original example belongs to an avid Jeep collector in New Jersey. I have one that has just finished being painted. As to value, it depends where in the world you are and how competitive the market is. I can say as a collector, I have substantial money invested in mine, both in the import process and in the restoration process. But it is nowhere NEAR 100,000. :eyeroll: or even half of that. If you are in Venezuela, you can pick a decent example up for $5,000 US. If you're in Australia and can find one (they are increasingly rare) it seems $15,000 US is more the norm now. Prices in Europe are in between. Additionally, the "Scramblers" in Israel are often produced exclusively for the military. Their tubs and frames and even engine trains have been changed for Israeli military specs and do not match the standard AMC Jeep package (although they are very close). So you'd have to take into account if it was a Military Jeep, a true AMC export Jeep, and the availability of parts. Exporting military vehicles can also have challenges that standard vehicles do not present. For those who are interested, there is an Israeli owner and several US and Australian owners of these models who are active contributors on www.cj-8.com."
