Jeep - Comanche - 1988
GENERAL:
Offered for auction is an extensively restored and upgraded 1988 Jeep Comanche Laredo 4x4 Long Bed with approximately 105,000 miles on the clock. Originally purchased in Florida in 2004, the vehicle remained in long-term ownership until a comprehensive restoration was initiated in 2020. Following completion, it was registered in Romania as a Historic Vehicle in 2022. The Jeep Comanche (MJ) remains a iconic piece of American automotive history, introduced by AMC as a pickup variation of the revolutionary unibody XJ Cherokee. Utilizing a unique "Uniframe" design that combined a unibody cab with a traditional C-channel frame for the bed, it offered impressive structural rigidity and truck utility. The top-tier Laredo trim added distinctive aesthetic touches and comfort features, while the indestructible 4.0-liter inline-six engine—developed in partnership with Renault using Renix multi-port fuel injection—earned a legendary reputation for torque and longevity.
BODYWORK & PAINT:
Finished in Pearl Black with subtle indigo metallic highlights visible in direct sunlight, the truck has undergone a thorough restoration focused on durability, corrosion protection, and drivability. The chassis was cryogenically stripped at -79°C, treated against corrosion, coated with epoxy primer, textured polyurethane protection, ceramic resin coating, and completed with cavity wax injection.
TECHNICAL:
Powered by the legendary 4.0L inline-six engine paired with an automatic transmission, the vehicle benefits from significant recent mechanical work. The engine starts reliably both hot and cold with its Renix fuel injection system, runs smoothly, and the automatic transmission shifts properly through all gears following recent filter and oil service. Recent work includes a reconditioned 4HO cylinder head, new timing set, complete gasket set, new starter motor, oil pan, power steering pump, and a rebuilt steering gearbox. Notable heavy-duty upgrades feature a Dana 44 rear axle, a full stainless-steel exhaust system with a MagnaFlow muffler, Rusty's suspension springs and shock absorbers, an adjustable front track bar, and quick-disconnect sway bar links. The braking system has been fully refurbished with new hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, and brake pads.
INTERIOR:
The factory Laredo trim interior features professionally reupholstered beige leather seats and a period-correct Blaupunkt retro radio. Equipped from the factory with air conditioning, power windows, and central locking, the cabin combines classic period style with modern operational comfort.
DOCUMENTS:
Included with the sale are complete registration documents confirming its historic status, restoration photographs, maintenance records, and parts invoices documenting the restoration and upgrade work.
COLLECTION:
Pickup is located in Iaşi, Romania.
OTHER INFORMATION:
A rare and increasingly collectible Jeep Comanche combining documented ownership history, historic vehicle registration, extensive corrosion protection, significant mechanical refurbishment, and carefully selected upgrades that enhance both reliability and driving enjoyment.
