1988 Jeep Comanche

Details

This 1988 Jeep Comanche was originally a Florida truck that was moved to North Carolina in 2007 and has resided there with two owners since that time. It has 88,425 verified miles and received a number of age-related services and mechanical updates in 2017 that enable this fully capable pickup truck to be enjoyed as is or provide the basis for a restoration project.

A base long-bed model truck, this Comanche is powered by a 4.0L inline-six cylinder engine and a 5-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. The only modification is an aftermarket ball on the shift lever.

The condition is documented in a recent third-party inspection that shows wear and tear to the interior and exterior of the vehicle consistent with its 35 years of age. The truck comes with a clean CarFax report that indicates southern ownership and verifies the mileage seen on the odometer. Significant service noted in 2017 includes the replacement of the serpentine belt, shock absorbers, and struts, tie rod ends, and differential fluid among other items.

This Jeep Comanche is available in North Carolina as a Premium Listing on CLASSIC.COM and is being sold by Parker Frazier.
