Vehicle Description
How about some all-terrain surefootedness combined with plenty of
comfort that'll come in handy for more commonly encountered driving
situations? This 1982 Jeep CJ7 Laredo has you covered on both
accounts - it's equally at home on the asphalt as it is on paths
less travelled, with fresh power and four-wheel drive agility just
a flick of the lever away. It will arrive at its next destination
with a clean AutoCheck in tow as proof that, despite the temptation
it presents for spirited driving, it's been ably navigated away
from collisions during its lifetime.
Jeep's CJ series cut its proverbial teeth on military usage and it
only takes a quick glance at this CJ7 to see the aesthetic legacy
of that service. While it's certainly rugged looking, it's also
noticeably more refined than its predecessors and, with a wheelbase
a full 10" longer than the previous iteration, the ride it offers
is downright smooth for such a versatile vehicle. Its black
exterior is in very good form - the paint has a strong shine to it
and the gray Laredo lettering and the accents running above the
rocker panels are nice and sharp. The bumpers both fore and aft are
table straight and still have their shiny chrome finish, as do the
step bars, chrome hood latches and mirrors. When the weather
permits, Jeeps like this one are most often seen in their open-air
configuration, but rest assured all the components are on hand to
provide a more sheltered driving experience when needed, including
both a removable hard top and a vinyl bikini top, as well as a pair
of full-fledged metal doors.
For those occasions when the call of rugged terrain can't be
answered, there's plenty of comfort on board as well. The black
ultra-leather interior provides a nice, opulent look, and the pair
of buckets up front are well-contoured for support and have plenty
of padding. The center console between them is in very strong
condition and features a sturdy lockbox in which to stow away
valuables. Air conditioning is often an after-thought in a vehicle
as rugged as this, but it's on board and functioning at its best.
Whether you're off-roading or navigating a more sedate route,
you'll be well-covered as far as tunes are concerned - the Pioneer
AM/FM/CD stereo also features an auxiliary port for additional
sound sources and teams with a pair of Polk speakers inside to
provide a quality audio experience. Lower the tailgate in back and
you'll find some welcome storage space behind the rear bench
seat.
A totally rebuilt 258 cubic inch inline 6 Jasper engine was lowered
into the engine bay only 16,000 miles ago, so this Jeep is
well-positioned for future action. The powerplant is surrounded by
clean components and fresh-looking hoses, fires up very promptly
and runs nice and smoothly - after all, it's just now entering its
prime - teaming with a 3-speed automatic transmission that's
shifting in top form. Four-wheel drive surefootedness sits within
easy reach of the driver and, with the ground clearance this CJ7
has, it's no mere novelty. The potential for off road fun is
undeniable. Power steering makes for easy navigation, while power
brakes that feature discs up front provide low-effort,
fade-resistant stopping ability. This rugged ride surmounts
obstacles on its set of very sharp 15" wheels wearing Cooper
Dominator Sport A/T tires.
Looking sharp and ready for action, this 1982 Jeep CJ7 Laredo has
fun written all over it. Call today!
