Up For Grabs: 1984 Jeep Scrambler In Search Of New Owner

imageHaving experienced enough life down South with a kind and cared-for lifestyle, this 1984 Jeep Scrambler (pictured above) is hitting the internet to seek out new lands and highways to explore. The owner and seller, Barry Boyette, popped his way onto JeepForum‘s Vehicles For Sale thread and typed up a tidy description to nail down the basic facts.

“After several years of little use, my Scrambler is for sale,” he states. “I’m the second owner. It had 31,000 miles on it when I bought it. It has over 70,000 on it now. I’ve used it for several years as a daily driver” In the 32 years following the Scrambler’s rolling off of the showroom floor, it’s become something of an icon in the four-wheeling world, a rarity that’s treated with a great deal of awe and admiration. After all, there were only about 28,000 made over the course of six years (1981-86).

Boyette looks to have followed through on that kind of status, and treated his rig accordingly. Or did he? In addition to fitting the Jeep with a three-inch Black Diamond lift kit and a TFI ignition system with Delco module, it now runs on propane–something we’re pretty sure Hank Hill from King Of The Hill would love to know!

In all seriousness, though, propane conversion in motor vehicle has seen something of an uptick in recent years. Claims have been made that it’s more eco-friendly than gasoline, more efficient, cheaper to refuel, and universal in application in terms of gas cars and trucks. We won’t argue the pros and cons here, except to say that Boyette claims to get 13 MPG with the setup; take that for what you will.

Boyette has listed the pickup at $12,000. Armed with its 4.2-liter straight six and Nomad-style wheels, this scarce Jeep may well fetch the asking price. What do you think? Is Boyette right on the money, or a little wide of the mark? Let us know in the comments below.
