1987 Suzuki Samurai Tin Top / Hard Top

1987 Suzuki Samurai Description

This Samurai is a very complete beautiful rare Tin Top which needs nothing and is ready to go as is. It has been thoughtfully outfitted with good street manners as well as very good off-road capabilities as such makes it a awesome all around rig.

It has always been garaged since I purchased it and fixed it up. It is an Arizona vehicle with zero body rust- None!. The engine is new and was installed approximately 13,000 miles ago and runs flawlessly. It has been lightly used by me and well taken care of (always parked inside or out of the elements). I do not abuse it by taking it out rock crawling like so many people do with these vehicles.

This Samurai was a Barn Find vehicle- Stored for over 17 years inside with a blown engine- It was in exceptional condition when I purchased it. There was no finding a title (that was long gone) so It had to be completely inspected by state of AZ motor vehicles to get a new title. It was given a clear title listed as Sal/Restored due to the fact it wasn’t running or drivable when inspected but in such good condition. Because of sitting hidden inside for so long it merited installing a new engine and going through vehicle to restore it to what you see today.

I had no intention in ever sell this vehicle having put a lot of money, time, trick amenities and effort into this rig. The only reason I am selling is I am moving to a smaller area and will not be able to keep it inside.

This Samurai gets allot of attention going down the road. I have even been asked to put it in a car show – go figure right. You will not find one that sits this nice, and doesn’t look like a ridiculous off road vehicle going down the road like so many of these end up looking. Everything works in this vehicle – Gauges, Heater, Lights, Warning systems, Horn, Wipers, Hubs, 4×4, High & Low Range, switches… as well it steers, brakes and drives excellent. I would take it anywhere.

Serious inquires only please. I by no means have to give this vehicle away. If you have any additional questions feel free to ask. Get more information at Always Buy and Sell

BODY

The vehicle had the original paint when I found it in a barn (have pics showing original condition as well as the build which will be provided to the buyer). Body panels were perfect. Was OEM original blue exterior/interior and never painted. I had it painted in 2016 (as I am not found of blue) to the beautiful color of Gun Metal Flake Iriodine Black/Silver as you see it now.
