    Nicest Original Cherokee ever?

    I'm in awe of this thing. It's gorgeous. So clean, so original, it's the nicest original I have ever seen...

    Bid for the chance to own a 1983 Jeep Cherokee Laredo at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #24,906.


    I watched the last half hour, these 2 guys bidding and resetting the clock.

    Sold for $51,360. Wow. I still think it's well bought. If there is a nicer original one out there somewhere, I'd like to see it.

        Holy Cow that is Nice!!

        I follow wagonmaster on instagram, that guy has a FSJ (mostly Wagoneers, and Cherokees) shop and they do amazing restores on them! I would say equivalent to this one.

          First thing I'd do is install 37s and a big as lift kit. Definitely would trim the fenders back really well, probably a good sbc swap too.

                  This was my neighbors Cherokee in Freeport NY. It was really nice. He was an older gentleman, he said it was one of the last ones made, a special edition maybe? Luckily it didn’t get flooded out in Superstorm Sandy. We live by the water, and we’re hit pretty hard. Hopefully the new owner will take good care of it.

                        It's an 83'

                        I thought the 2 door Cherokee's only ran from 74'-77' ???


                        I am confused. The more I think I know the dumber I seem.
