off-road vehicles of the 1970s, the Jeep CJ-7 remains a popular
choice among classic 4x4 collectors. This particular example is
chock full of new and remanufactured parts to ensure it lives well
into the 21st Century. Made in Jeep?s Toledo, Ohio factory, this
example is finished in Black with silver Renegade trim. The paint
is lustrous and in overall excellent order. The fold-down
windshield is clear and intact, the lights are in very good order
and the body is straight and solid. The engine bay is clean and the
battery appears new. The cargo area is good, original order and
there are new, black tube front and rear bumpers, with only a
slight blemish on the back one. There?s a black Bestop Supertop
soft top, a Bimini top and two-piece doors. This Jeep rides on
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A Baja Champion tires, size LT305/70R16.
Each tire is mounted on a Mickey Thompson Classic III vented alloy
wheel. The tires have full tread and are in very good order while
the wheels are in excellent shape. There?s a full-size spare tire
and wheel on the cargo door. Under that hood that can flip back
onto the windshield and roof, there?s the original 304 CID V-8
engine (VIN code H) that has been professionally remanufactured by
Jasper Engines in 2018. This engine breathes via dual, side-mounted
exhaust and has the following new parts: a new 4 barrel carburetor,
ceramic headers, Edelbrock air cleaner and valve covers; flywheel;
performance distributor; chrome alternator; triple-core aluminum
radiator; all-new and complete wiring harness; fuel tank, lines,
spark plugs and new brakes. Backing this motor is a three-speed
manual transmission (VIN code F) with a 3.55:1 differential, a new
and custom Dana 44 rear axle. Jeeps of this era also had a Dana 20
two-speed transfer case and a Dana 30 front axle (27- or
31-spline). Driver convenience features include power steering and
power brakes. Inside, the Jeep has a black Bestop front sports
buckets and rear bench seat, with matching floor mats. The mats are
in very good order, the original three-spoke steering wheel is
ready for action, the black, metal instrument panel looks flawless
and comes with a full array of gauges, include a new Speedhut
GPS-based speedometer but the wipers and horn are inoperable. The
center console as a deep storage well beneath a padded lid and the
original shift lever and transfer case levers are in good, original
order. Completing the interior is a factory AM radio and a grab bar
for the front passenger. The Jeep CJ-7 featured a wheelbase 10
inches longer than that of the CJ-5, with its curved side entry
cutouts partially squared up to accommodate hinged doors. The other
main difference between CJ-5 and CJ-7 was to the chassis, which
consisted of two parallel longitudinal main c-section rails. To
help improve vehicle handling and stability, the rear section of
the chassis stepped out to allow the springs and shock absorbers to
be mounted closer to the outside of the body. Transmission options
included the standard part-time two-speed transfer case, automatic,
and an optional new automatic all-wheel drive system called
Quadra-Trac. Other features included an optional molded hardtop,
and steel doors. The CJ-7 was also available in Renegade and Laredo
models. The reports of the CJ-7 were different in each type of
engine: the 145 CID Isuzu diesel four-cylinder was mated to the
4.10 ratio axle (in both Renegade and Laredo), while the 258 CID
straight six and 150 CID AMC four-cylinder used 3.73 and AMC 304
CID V-8 models (produced 1976-1981, which became part of the Golden
Eagle version) used the 3.55 ratio axles. From 1976 to 1980, the
CJ-7 came equipped with a Dana 20 transfer case, Dana 30 front axle
(27- or 31-spline), and a 29-spline AMC 20 rear axle. The CJ-7
continues to be used in the sport of mud racing, with either the
stock body or a fiberglass replica. CJ-7 has been successfully and
widely used as a favorite for rock crawling, through simple and
complex modification. Competition to this CJ-7 in 1978 included
Chevrolet?s K5 Blazer, Dodge?s Ramcharger, Ford?s Bronco, GMC?s K5
Jimmy, International?s Scout II, Plymouth?s Trailduster and
Toyota?s Land Cruiser. Whether you?re a Jeep fan, a truck and
