Hey,
Just paid, probably too much, off of Ebay for an 82 Scrambler. It was out in West Texas. Good news... zero rust and I think it is a Laredo? According to a few vids I've watched. Factory Tach and clock, leather grab bar and steering wheel. Looks like a factory AC unit that has no hoses run to it but the belt is still on it?) Is there any other way to tell? I paid 24K, don't tell the wife.. I told her 14K. I've wanted this Jeep for years and I had some extra money saved up so I rolled the dice.
Here is the info supplied to be by the previous owner. He is an older guy. He claimed it was his buddies who died and he is selling it for his widow. (Ya never know buying off Ebay).
QUOTE:
Freshly painted in the original Tan body and Copper top colors. (poorly painted with runs everywhere)
This beautiful rare jeep has the venerable 258 inline 6 cylinder. However, it is outfitted with a Howell Fuel injection system, Clifford 6=8 Manifold setup providing higher hp and bullitt proof performance in any off-roading situation. (she over-heated as I was unlaoding it from the car trailer. Leaking water from the water pump. Hoping that is all... anything I need to know about replacing a water pump on this engine?)
Current manual transmission is a 4 speed but an additional 5 speed will come with the jeep in case someone wanted to convert it. (he didn't include the 5 speed... The jeep has a 5 speed shift label on it knob. Assuming it had a 5 speed in it at some point?)
This jeep has factory power front disc brakes, tilt wheel power steering, Courtesy and map lights, Bucket seats, Factory roll bar and "Functioning" factory Tach and clock.! Even has a functional original factory under hood service light!
There has been a "substantial amount" of newly refreshed and or updated components and accessories with "ZERO" miles usage that include the following:
New EAG custom Heavy Duty front and Rear bumpers with D-rings and integrated fog lights (not wired up)
Total/complete front end rebuilt with all new moog front tie-rod ends, idler and pitman arms, sway bar bushings
New Rough Country front an rear leaf springs, Rough Country front and rear shocks, Rough Country steering stabilizer, Inside and Outside "Rough Country" front axles including inner and outer seals and new HD u-joints. (the front passenger axle is leaking fluid)
New "Brake Performance" Front "cross drilled slotted" disc rotors, performance calipers with semi-metallic pads. New rear semi-metallic brake shoes and all new brake line hoses.
New Lock Out hubs, New slotted off-road steel wheels, New 33" Federal Couragia RWL off-road tires
New front fenders with all new fender flares, side marker and front parking lenses.
New rear brake/running lights, New chrome diamond plate rear corner guards.
New radio antenna, inside and outside mirrors, interior door pulls.
Complete fresh original factory color paint in and out including top. Fresh rhino-lined truck bed.
Engine and engine bay freshened with all new fluids, filters, plugs, wires' distributor cap & rotor. (engine starts instantly and runs smooth and strong with no leaks!) Coolant system flushed and installed new thermostat. New oem radiator overflow and windshield wiper tanks/bottles with new windshield washer pump & rubber lines.
Transfer case and both front and rear differential fluids flushed and changed
