The Suzuki Samurai, popularly known as the Jimny, is a small but tough-as-nails off-roader that's been around since 1970. The antithesis to large American SUVs, the Samurai can still dance circles around them off the beaten path. Thanks to their diminutive dimensions, lightweight, and proper four-wheel drive system, these are veritable mountain goats. If you don't know what a mountain goat can do, hit up Google or YouTube. If you'd like to own one of these capable mountain goats, purchase this 1986 Suzuki Samurai as soon as possible. This eye-catching specimen has undergone a full restoration that concluded in 2023. It packs a new engine imported from Japan with less than 2,000 miles on it. Read on to discover more, but be warned; your lust for this vehicle will only keep increasing - until it occupies your garage and, inevitably, your heart.

Exterior and Interior

This 1986 Suzuki Samurai received a new gray paint job, and even its undercarriage was freshly painted for longevity. Then, the current owner reports that the wheels have been sandblasted, painted, and wrapped in new tires. Overall, the vehicle looks fabulous, with its dinky proportions and purposeful stance. It's got a set of lovely bug-eyed headlamps at the front, and the spare tire hanging out at the rear, mounted to the tailgate for maximum interior cargo space. The reportedly new interior of this 1986 Suzuki Samurai is surprisingly accommodating for such a small vehicle. It is rated to seat four adults in new seats, and it still offers excellent luggage space. The rear seat can be folded for greater capacity, too. Amenities include air conditioning, a comprehensive gauge cluster with a tachometer, and a Clarion AM/FM radio with a cassette tape player. What else could you need, anyway? This vehicle isn't meant to be your daily driver (although it could be if desired), but a weekend de-stress, digital detox machine.

Engine

Who needs a hulking and thirsty V8 when you've got barely any weight to propel? That's why this 1986 Suzuki Samurai packs a 1.3L in-line 4-cylinder gasoline engine to power it along. Of course, the five-speed manual transmission helps a lot, as does the part-time four-wheel-drive system. The current owner reports a recent oil change, as well as new belts, hoses, and brakes. Hence, you can dance off-road all day without any fear of breaking down - unless you break it yourself, that is.
