UPDATE:**SOLD**
(11/06/2016) Needs some work. There aren’t many of these around.
“This is a second, project unit that I have for sale.
1984 AMC Jeep CJ8 Alaskan postal version (right hand drive!!!). It has an inline 258 6-cylinder and is an automatic (very rare for older jeeps) 4×4. Floor shift with floor-mounted, hand-operated emergency brake. This Jeep is a project Jeep. Runs and lot drives, but wouldn’t trust it for longer trips currently. There is significant rust-triugh in the driver’s side (RH) floor and above the wheel wells in the tub. The Top and doors are solid. As with most Postals, the frame is rust-free.
**For those who have asked, YES, the hard top rear door and side doors are removable.**
Here in the U.S., the Cj-8 Scrambler was marketed mainly as workman like pickup. The Alaskan postal service ordered 230 Cj-8s equipped with the world cab , side opening “barn door” and insulating foam sprayed in the entire cargo area to ensure the mail indeed did get delivered. This jeep is still 85% USPS complete and would make a great candidate for a full postal restoration. You can see where the old USPS stripes and logos were, as well as the USPS unit number on the front windshield and back door. Even has the original postal herringbone cloth seat! 132,000 original miles. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own this rare RHD model of an already rare Jeep!”
Cool vehicle but that seems a little crusty for that kind of money.
CL ad is expired. Is the vehicle still available? Unable to contact the seller.
Hi Russell,
I believe this is Don’s jeep (I don’t have a last name). Contact him at dna3035@yahoo.com
I’ll update the post.
