New Guy planning to buy.

hey guys,
New member here hoping to trade for an 83' CJ7 and i've been lurking for days reading the various engine, trans, transfer case and axle threads plus the buyers guide and etc.
but i wouldn't mind a set of experienced eyes telling me if they think this is a good deal. the bike I'm planning on trading for this Cj is worth 6-6.5k
the listing for it is Jeep CJ7 4x4 OBO or trade
it's a 4cyl/4spd according to him.
the other issue I'm having is that the guy says that its an 83' and that the VIN number for the motor is a "U", which corresponds to the AMC 150 motor. but in https://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/f105/four-cylinder-engines-12310/ they say that the AMC motor wasn't used until 84' in the CJ.
is it possible he's got the year wrong or has anyone seen late production 83's with AMC motors in them?
thanks in advance!
