Its got an extended bed. Its longer that an CJ7.

Re: Jeep guys, need to know this value
 

yeah, it has a longer wheelbase, and a longer bed over the rear wheels. it only has two seats, and the bulkhead/roof come down behind the two seats making it a 'pickup' almost. CJ-8 and I guess pretty rare. Sweet. :6

Umm...I hope I die long before I have to suffer through any of that bullshit. :l

I hate the looks of those things, but some people love them.

Re: Jeep guys, need to know this value
 

put it on ebay with a reserve of 5k and link it to all jeep forums... milk that ----

Re: Jeep guys, need to know this value
 

Ha, they guy wants me to put the reserve at $10k. I know they're rare, but I'm not so sure it's that rare. I mean maybe if it was minty with 25,000miles or something. I've been getting a good many offers around $4,000 and they're really pushing me to let it go for that, whether that's what it's worth, or they're trying to get a deal I'm not sure.

Re: Jeep guys, need to know this value
 

You'll never get $10k with the 151 (8.2:1 compression busting out only 82 hp/ 125 tq, last year used was 83) in there, maybe if it had a real strong 360 you could see $6k out of it.

Post a link on http://www.pirate4x4.com/ - It's the biggest board I've seen for Jeep and other 4x4 stuff, and there is a lot of traffic on the board, Like on here though, almost every real Jeep guy would only use the frame and body, the rest would go.

Check for options to make it more rare.

Standard is a 15.5 gallon tank, option of 20 was available.

Also, I' double check that "5-spd". That wasn't real common, most had the T-4 4 speed, the T-5 was a less seen option from 82-86.

With the optional 5 spd, it may have 4.09:1 gearing, which was a nice option for the turd under the hood.

For reference, the CJ-8 had a 103.5 inch wheel base, 10 inches longer than the standard CJ-7, and 20 inches longer than the small CJ-5. Interestingly, the CJ-6 had the same wheel base as the CJ8, but with almost 20 inches less body length. The modern day comparison was the Pre-2007 Jeep Unlimited.

Good luck with the sale.

Re: Jeep guys, need to know this value
 

I take that back, the only upgraded motor available for those years was the 258 I-6... Not a huge upgrade from the little 4 in there.

Re: Jeep guys, need to know this value
 

142hp? im all for +50hp any day.

old 258's and 232's can fit a 4.0 head, same block, needs an oil return made into the head.

good for 25-30hp just from head swapping

Re: Jeep guys, need to know this value
 

Thanks Jung, I got an offer for $6k today. The owner said try to get him up to 8.5 so we'll see what happens. Otherwise I'll be chuckin it on ebay at the end of April, see what I can get.
