less than the #2 of the "9 Hottest Collectible Cars Right Now for
2018" by none less than the 'Hagerty Bull Market List' for 2018,
with two-thirds of quotes that are requested from Hagerty coming
from Gen X and Millennials. This interest from those younger
generations means it stands to do well, as those are the collectors
who are actively growing their collections.After remaining in
production through a range of model numbers, and several corporate
parents, the Jeep CJ line was officially ended in 1986. More than
1.5 million CJ Jeeps were built, having continued the same basic
body style for 45 years since the Jeep first appeared. The Jeep CJ
series of 1976-86 has the imprint 'Since 1941' somewhere in the
interior, although Willys-Overland had not officially been granted
the Jeep trademark until 1950, well after the company had already
developed a good business selling civilian versions of the wartime
Jeep. Probably the smartest thing American Motors president Roy
Chapin ever did was acquire Kaiser-Jeep Corporation in 1970. In
1976 the CJ-7 appeared as basically a stretched CJ-5 to compete
with a growing assortment of rivals, fitted with the first
factory-equipped hard top and steel doors among its upgrades. It
would carry the CJ line for the next 11 years, right through AMCs
merger first with Renault, then with Chrysler.Even after 30 years
of CJ development, you didnt have to squint too hard to see the old
hero of Normandy and Guadalcanal in the 7's sheetmetal. But if the
design still looked inspired by cardboard shipping boxes, the
changes were significant, including a longer wheelbase for more
stability and a roomier and fancier cockpit. Even so, with the top
and doors removed, the windscreen folded, and the CJ-7 put the wind
in your face and bugs in your teeth just the way its predecessors
had been doing since 1945! This particular example was recently
acquired by us from its original southern California owner and has
been serviced locally here in Redondo Beach at the renown 'Osborn's
Automotive', voted #1 auto repair shop in the South Bay for over 5
years, and is a vehicle that was obviously always well maintained
and garaged since new with no accident damage and reportedly never
taken off road and which boasts the 5 spd manual transmission and a
2-speed transfer case, power steering (a very underrated option on
these Jeeps and endlessly useful amp; required!) and a removable
factory hardtop with matching steel doors, so it seals up well if
you're planning on using it year-round.!The Jeep was sold new at
'Castle AMC Jeep Renault' of National City, CA on 8/15/1984 and the
still quite stunning original 'Sunshine Yellow' factory color paint
is in excellent condition and the original stock Black Hi-Back
bucket seats interior is also in great condition throughout. Oozing
pride of ownership with obviously no accidents, damage or rust as
evidenced by the vehicles all original paint! The Jeep will be sold
with its original owners manuals, window sticker and purchase order
and boasts a clean Carfax report! This extraordinarily well
maintained and highly desirable original southern California owner
and obviously always garaged 1984 Jeep CJ7 4WD 4.2L SUV runs
strong, the transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the
temperature always remains cool - drives exactly like such a well
maintained and cared for vehicle should! You will look long and
hard to find a finer or nicer driving example of this all stock and
original legendary CJ7, an obviously mostly always garaged example
owned by only one very careful and mature non-smoking owner since
new!
