1988 Suzuki Samurai 4x4

Classic Car Addict is excited to present this 1988 Suzuki Samurai 4x4 for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. The Samurai was the first four-wheeled vehicle Suzuki sold in the U.S., but its history begins nearly 20 years before the plucky little 4x4 made its way across the Pacific. In 1968, Japan's Hope Motor Company introduced a small Kei-class 4x4 with a 359cc Mitsubishi engine called the ON360. Suzuki bought Hope and developed the ON360 into the 1970 LJ10 ("Light Jeep"), also known as the Jimny. Badged as the Samurai, the U.S. version had a carbureted 1.3-liter overhead-cam four-cylinder delivering 63 horsepower and 74-lb-ft of torque. The front bucket seats and a rear bench are trimmed in patterned gray cloth with black vinyl sides.
