1983 Jeep Scrambler Stunning Restoration

Up for your consideration is a 1983 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler that I have restored. This restoration started as a bone dry southern Texas Jeep that was purchased from Collins Brothers Jeep to be the best possible starting point for a restoration. Every panel of sheet metal is original AMC made in the America metal. Even the windshield frame, ulk head and fenders. The body did NOT require welded in panels and the bed was not pitted or have huge dents and waves like most. Also the frame is not pitted, elded or skimmed over. It's super clean now and always was.
The Scrambler was taken down to bare metal by sandblasting and primered, ase coated and 7 coats of clear applied. Even the bottom of the tub was done in this fashion. It was a $10k paint job and it looks it. Areas were others would have cut corners like bed liner and undercoating this jeep was painted like the factory would have but with much better coverage and paint quality. The frame was blasted, rimered and painted with three coats of satin black as well as the axles and other small bits.
The drive train is numbers matching and has been completely rebuilt by reputable shops. I added the Mopar injection soon after finishing due to how much better it makes the Jeep run and how much more power it has.
I used as many of the best original parts made by AMC that I could for the restoration. The aftermarket parts are just not any good. I spent years collecting the parts for this build.
I only have 185 miles on the Scrambler since completing. It runs and drives fantastic. I have had it up to 75mph on the highway and it rides like cream puff compared to my CJ7's.

I am selling because I want to start another restoration and will need to let this one go to a new home first.
I would partial trade on an original Scrambler SR or SL to start another build. I would also consider partial trade on a 2003-2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon TJ or LJ.
