Vehicle Description
Hard to have more fun on four wheels than with a Jeep CJ7,
especially one as spectacular as this 1981 Coffee Brown Metallic
beauty. With a great paint job and a rebuilt engine, it hasn't even
seen a gravel road, let alone serious off-roading, but it's ready,
willing, and able, particularly with that rumbling 304 under the
hood.
We're finally getting to the point where these CJs are legitimate
collector's items, but you'll probably discover that very few are
restored to this level. It was repainted earlier in 2018 and has a
great shine and fantastic bodywork that suggests this Jeep has
always been loved. The CJ's shape is unmistakable, especially with
the doors and top in place, and thanks to a new paint job and a set
of slightly oversized fender flares, it looks incredible. Thanks to
professional workmanship throughout, it feels tight and fits
together quite well, and while a lot of these CJs led hard lives,
this one has obviously been taking it easy since the work was
completed. Heck, some Jeep guys might scoff at how bright and shiny
this one is, but with a winch up front, big driving lights, and a
modest lift, I don't think anyone will question its off-road
credentials.
Inside, this one is almost too nice to venture into the dirt, with
nice high-back buckets with fresh black seat covers and a matching
rear bench. There's also a useful center console with storage and
cup holders, and a pair of nice-fitting rubber floor mats over the
floors, which have been painted to match the bodywork for low
maintenance. The gauges are new, including a tach on the steering
column, and there's a new dash pad up top. There's a great-sounding
stereo stashed out of sight with big speakers both under the dash
and on the rear fenders, so it sounds great top on or top off. Cool
aluminum pedals look racy and the fat three-spoke steering wheel is
easy to grab in off-road situations. Of course, a hardtop and metal
doors make this an all-weather friend, going a long way towards
civilizing the all-purpose Jeep, and there's a bikini top for warm
weather fun.
In 1981, Jeeps were getting wheezing six cylinder engines which
didn't do much to move them through the mud with tall tires. That's
all been remedied here thanks to the installation of a muscle-bound
304 cubic inch V8 which exhibits serious excess horsepower. Freshly
rebuilt and fitted with an Edelbrock intake manifold, Holley
4-barrel carburetor, shorty headers, and an upgraded coil, it's
ready to rock. Those headers dump directly into a mellow-sounding
dual exhaust system that tucks up into the frame so no worries
about ground clearance. There's also a modest lift kit, and with
the 4-speed manual and 2-speed transfer case, it's ready to plunge
into the nastiest terrain you can manage. The brakes were fully
rebuilt and with power steering, those giant 33x12.50-15 tires and
Pro Line wheels are easy to manage no matter where you are.
A muscle car for the dirt? You'd better believe it. Not many CJs
get refinished to this level, so when you find one this nice, don't
hesitate. Call today!
