Vehicle Description
Somewhere between mean trail machine and cool boulevard cruiser
lies this 1986 Jeep CJ7 Laredo. With bold paint, full hardtop, 4x4
prowess, and five-speed manual transmission, this icon can truly do
everything it was built for, while also fitting in anywhere. And
it's hard to do that with any other classic for this price.
As far as classic Jeep aesthetics, it doesn't get much better than
this. This CJ has been given an investment a few years ago in super
sharp black paint accented with crisp and correct silver Laredo
graphics. The result is a look that exceeds your nostalgic
expectations. Upfront is the highly recognizable grille. Not only
is that in chrome, but this has been upgraded to have the whole
front panel - including bumper and tow hooks - with a nice polished
presentation. Out back are more polished bumpers and a full-sized
spare (the true jewelry of a CJ.) The included black hardtop with
tinted windows looks terrific against this full black package. Even
the door handles are polished to fit in with this overall theme of
black and chrome. So this one has style no matter if you're
spending the night under the stars of just on a grocery run.
As good as this looks with the hardtop in place, a true Jeep is
meant to be open to the world. That's why we love the level of
presentation on the interior. The black seats with silver stripes
is factory-correct on this premium Laredo, and it's a great
coordinating element with the exterior. In fact, this one looks
quite well preserved and loaded inside. After all, you have all the
right factory elements in place, like the lockable center console,
AM/FM radio, and the very handy factory tach.
Under the hood is a 258 cubic-inch inline-six motor. This is
believed to be original to the vehicle, and it's a long established
power plant for Jeep. It's part of what built the CJ's go-anywhere
reputation and continues to have easy parts availability. This one
looks like it has been treated correctly, right down to the decals.
That's why it fires up easily and runs smoothly. And because this
is later in the CJ series, you get a very versatile five-speed
manual transmission. It has the right gearing for driving in-town,
and when the pavement ends, it works with the two-speed transfer
case to feed the seriously beefy axles at both ends. Plus, features
like Goodyear Wrangler tires and front disc brakes are great no
matter where you're driving.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a fantastically presented and
well-respected Jeep. So if you like you classic 4x4s with a little
flair, don't miss this deal. Call now!
