Perspective

The Jeep Scrambler was first released in 1981 and this first year offering is known as the Scrambler Laredo (S/L).  This 81 SL is the true definition of a survivor grade classic!  It has just enough patina in all the right places!  There is no rust anywhere on the vehicle due to the cooperative climate exposure it received in CA, AZ and TX.  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!

Highlights

AMC Jeep offered the Jeep Scrambler from 1981-1985, with a limited rumored production run of just 120 units in 1986 (only 1 known 1986 has ever surfaced to this day).  The Scrambler was offered in base model, Renegade model, and Laredo model.  The Laredo model was considered to be the "cream of the crop," being the highest optioned trim package offered by AMC. Here are some highlights of this beautiful 1981 S/L:

  • Jeep "Laredo" package consisting of the following:
    • Factory 15x8" chrome wagon wheels
    • Rocker trim panel
    • Factory clock/tach (both working)
    • High-back vinyl seats with purse stripes
    • Dash instrument cluster overlay
    • Factory AM/FM/CB radio
    • Chrome grille and mirrors
  • Original AMC 258 CID motor mated to 5-speed manual transmission and dual-range Dana 300 transfer case
  • P1 "Classic Black" original paint.  This Scrambler is known as a "triple black Laredo" because it has a black exterior, black interior, and black hard top.  One of the most sought after color combinations AMC Jeep offered!
  • Rot free Jeep residing in west and midwest climates its entire life
  • Factory A/C (currently does not blow cold and needs servicing)
  • New factory correct reproduction wooden bed rails
