This is a 1982 Jeep Scrambler, original 6 cylinder, manual transmission. I bought this Scrambler last summer with plans to restore it. I had a friend look at it for me as I was out of state. He is a commercial truck mechanic and gave it a thorough review. I have not actually seen it in person as I now live in Maryland. I sent it to a Jeep shop in Michigan to get an estimate for the work I wanted to have done because being in Maryland now without a proper garage or tools makes it impossible for me to do any of the work. The Jeep is running pretty well according to the guys at the shop but does have a slight leak in the rear axle.  I was going to switch out the axles to one-piece anyway and they said it's not an urgent fix. The floors are rusted and it is the original paint.  There are a few exterior spots of surface rust and the typical Jeep rust on the tub. The bulkhead is supposedly fine and the frame is great according to the guys at the shop/  I planned to do the body work myself but now would have to pay to have it done and that's expensive. This is a good restoration Scrambler. Needs body work and windshield. I am selling because shipping it will cost me close to $1K and I will have to spend an extra $2-3K minimally to have someone else do the work.  If you can do body work yourself or buy a new tub and swap it out them this is a nice opportunity as the frame is good, it is mechanically good, and it's got all the parts (minus the windshield). 

I am out of town and just woke up and decided to list it so I will add the actual VIN when I get home and look at the title.  The one I put up temporarily is from another Scrambler.  I was also edit to the actual odometer reading.  The previous owner told me that he bought it in Alabama, shipped it to Michigan and it sat in his garage for a few years.  Again, I have not actually seen this Jeep in person but trust the opinions of my friend and the guys at the Jeep specialty shop where it currently sits.  Here's a video of the Jeep that will be helpful to understanding it's condition as described above:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omycEo1SqF0
