UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
Here’s another CJ-8 Alaskan Mail Jeep. This is obviously a project.
“clip from wikipedia:
“A full length steel hardtop CJ-8 was made for the Alaskan Postal Service, using right hand drive and automatic transmissions. Instead of the rear tailgate, the steel hardtop utilized a hinged barn door opening to the back. There were only 230 produced and sold in the U.S. It was also widely sold in Venezuela and Australia as the CJ8 Overlander, with small differences including full length rear windows on the Overlander.[38] Steel hardtops used on these postal Scramblers and Overlanders were known as “World Cab” tops.[39]”
If you’re interested, text or call me and we’ll go from there.
Yeah its rough and its got “a” motor inside the jeep, just not sure what it is and what all it has. You just need to come look at it. And I need it gone.
And I picked a random year because I’m not even sure what it is. No title, buy as is.”

WOW! Sure hope this is still in the neighborhood when I’m in Palmer on Aug. 29 during our 2000 mile trek from Anchorage , Whitehorse to Fairbanks with a rental RV. I’ve never even heard of these and only a few were made. Will be looking to share Jeep stories as we wander around AK & YT, Canada. Thanks, Dave for finding it.
Hey Glenn, if you’re coming north to Alaska and have a little bit of spare time the Goddess and I would be happy if we could visit with you. Dave has my email address so let me know if this sounds like something you’d be interested in doing. We live in Anchorage and we’re a short drive from the airport.
