1988 Jeep Comanche

[JeepinDev89]

Hey there guys and gals,

Went to look at an '88 Comanche today and I am hoping you gurus can help me a little bit. It was an 88 comanche I6 5 speed 2wd. Nothing non-typical there. But what got me was the blue paint and gold graphics. And above the comanche on the fender was an olympic sticker with the 5 rings that was also gold. My question is was there a special olympic edition produced in 88 or what? Any info would be awesome. Oh and i scored it for $300. :).

 

Thanks

Devin

yes, in 1988 there was a "special edition" to celebrate the 1988 olympics. Nothing special but nice to have.

Welcome and yes you scored as there was a Olympic edition. I do not know much about them but there are many on here that will chime in soon that can be of more help

The Olympic Edition was an exterior trim( ie decals) option. Most, if not all other 88's got a Olympics decal in the corner of the rear window( at least both of mine did).

I gots one of those, but it's red. Saw a white '88XJ Olympic Edition at the pick-n-pull this past weekend. Here's mine:

it was just an add on the pioneer for the 1988 Summer Olympics. theres a gold sticker that says it under the comanche emblem. other then that there wasnt any thing that is that great about it. cool find tho :cheers: u got pics?

I won't have pics until I pick it up. It's been sitting in a garage at a rental house for three or four years. I'm super stoked, just to pull this thing out and see how good it looks with a little bath. But I am torn between two options: Dad thinks its pretty neat. Like the first post not very special but neat. Me, I wanna lift it and stroke it. Maybe do some mud runs. But who knows. Only time will tell. I'll be sure to post pics in the build section. :).
