I was able to find my '82 Scrambler here in PA for $5500. It had a half-assed
Wagoneer powertrain swapped into it (401, T/H400 and Q-Trac), but the body was
solid, 2 1/2" lift springs, 33" Mickey's on American Racing Wheels. Made a
very nice foundation for a rebuild.
Keep looking in your local auto trader ads and used car listings.

You can insure special interest vehicles for a predetermined dollar
amount with certain insurance companies. There are usually some
mileage/risk restrictions though. Sometimes, it's pretty reasonable.

You'll have to either get special coverage from your insurance company, or
have them find a few for you that are comparable in your area.
Fortunately, Collins Brothers sells and restores Scramblers near where I
live, and I can always use them as a reference point for my insurance
company if it's totalled/stolen.

BTW, if you ever want to drop $30+ thousand in a restored Scrambler, Collins
Brothers would be more than happy to sell you one. And they do sell for
that much (yes, that's where I bought mine but no, it's not restored - cost
about $7,000 about six years ago).

Are you talking about the small Cherokees or the older large style or both?

I have noticed the price of XJs has gone up a little since I got mine last
spring, but I thought that it was more due to people wanting to get 4wd
before the winter than an overall shortage.
