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.

Re: High prices for Scramblers
Have you ever heard of the law of Supply and Demand? There were only
something like 28,000 Scramblers ever made, the few remaining specimens will
be very pricey, or complete junk.

Or both. A couple years ago I saw what was advertised as an '81
Scrambler...except that it had a 3-speed tranny, front drum brakes, and
CJ-5-style door openings. Best I could figure, it was a 70-74 CJ6, NOT a CJ8 of
any kind. It was in pretty bad shape, too, and the asking price was $3,500.
