Perspective
The Jeep Scrambler was first released in 1981 and this first year offering is known as the Scrambler Laredo (S/L). Â This 81 SL is the true definition of a survivor grade classic! Â It has just enough patina in all the right places! Â There is no rust anywhere on the vehicle due to the cooperative climate exposure it received in CA, AZ and TX. Â If you looking for a first year Scrambler Laredo that's a real head turner that is turnkey ready and honest, look no further and be sure to place your bid!
