Comments from the seller
Im selling this absolute beast, not because i want to but because i have 4 old cars and something had to give. My decision to sell is probably unwise given that this car is ridiculously reliable and usable as an everyday driver.
She is a RHD 1981 Jeep Cherokee Chief auto with an engine conversion to an LS1, a General Motors V8 crate motor that really moves.
Her previous owner restored her beautifully, full respray, AutoMeter guages set into timber dash with matching double cup holder Hello! New carpets and oh did i mention new engine, owed him 65K. Since Ive had her she’s had new rear shock absorbers, new alternator, new white wall tyres 6 months ago, reconditioned mechanical arm lift for electric frameless glass rear window set into tailgate shipped from excellent Jeep contact in Texas, along with full set of reconditioned chrome door handles and sidelight window on passenger side, internally new headlining and door trim in a very smart blackwatch tartan.
She reads 38,000km on the clock. The interior is basically original apart for the new headlining, and the seats are excellently comfortable armchairs.
She is restored but not concourse, do not expect perfection but do expect great condition and excellent mechanicals.
I love this car, she’s SUCH a headturner, but 4 cars is too much.
There isn’t another car like this, i cant believe im letting her go. I feel so lucky to have had her.
If you love old cars, but actually want one that’s reliable, that you can jump in any day of the week and totally trust, this is the beast for you.
I would think twice about jumping in for a roadtrip to Sydney or even Melbourne. She flies
Come say hello, she’s cruising around Byron Bay x
