This 1982 Scrambler represents a curated foundation for a bespoke build, offering a premier advantage for discerning clients looking to shorten the standard commission timeline. The vision for this open-air icon features a unique Sage Green exterior accented by vibrant Red and Orange vintage decals, powered by a high-performance 485 hp 392 HEMI and a driver-focused 5-speed manual transmission. While we recommend a Camel interior to complement the earthy exterior tones, the cabin and final details remain entirely open for your personalization. Securing this project allows you the full power to define the soul of this handcrafted American legend while moving directly into the engineering phase.
