Is my jeep a rare scrambler ?

[helimd]

I heard it sold recently. Do you know what it went for?

$155,000.

@marcelmommer what is goal here? You trying to sell or try to get some “rare” rating? Post more photos of interior, exterior, bed, engine bay, frame, etc. for more insight.

What he said.

You aren't going to get a count of how many others there are, those records don't exist. What you can get is comments on whatever you show us and we do love photos around here!

Not trying to be negative, just honest. AMC simply didn't keep the records you're after.

I was just making sure it wasn't real rare so I wouldn't ruin it by a general hobby project for the wife and I to pedal around in and to leave to my grandson sorry for any trouble I cause anybody everybody have a blessed day

100,000% do exactly what you want with it! Do NOT worry about rarity!

I'm in the middle of yet another major modification on a 1-of-230 Scrambler Make it yours and do whatever you want.

And it's no trouble at all

No trouble at all, this group is very helpful as everyone has different goals for CJ8. In the end, all are “hobby projects” and other than cutting up body or Bedliner the outside hard to lessen value…

That's perfect, you'll fit right in around here!

That's pretty much what we're all doing, to one extent or another, and this forum is a great place for comparing notes and sharing knowledge.

I hope you'll post updates as you move along with your Scrambler, and like others have said, we love pictures!

Welcome to the rabbit hole!

It is 1 of about 28,000 CJ-8s made.

Maybe 3,000 Laredo trims were made, but that is a wild guess.

The cost of a Laredo CJ-8 was about the same as a corvette of the same era. Therefore not many were made.

The CJ-8 is already somewhat rare at least for a jeep. That said, they are not collectible except to the crazy people on this site.

Do whatever you want to it, it is yours and nobody is gonna get made at you for making it how you want it. These are not $30,000,000 Tuckers.
