Vehicle Description
This 1980 Jeep Cherokee instantly announces it's something custom
the moment it arrives on the scene. Even if you didn't know, they
never made an open-top version, the bold paint, lifted stance,
custom interior, and the sound of the big V8 all make sure you know
this is a genuinely unique 4x4.
Many people forgot that the original Cherokee was prominent and in
charge... but when they see this one, they'll never forget it
again. The power dome hood, imposing wide grille, flared fenders,
and well-creased body lines give this one an instant presence. And,
of course, the orange radiates with an extraordinary boldness. It's
part of an attitude that's certainly memorable, so it also doesn't
want to lose its braveness to vanity. That means this is a true 4x4
that has both the appearance and equipment that make it easy to
still use as a true go-anywhere 4x4. So while those 20-inch
polished wheels look nice, the lifted stance and Toyo Open Country
tires are ready for the off-road. The custom bikini top keeps the
sunshine off your shoulders in this open-element beach cruiser.
We like the tasteful tan custom interior. Since this one is open to
the world, it does an excellent job to continue a bright attitude
that looks great on this custom Cherokee. Both rows of seats are
late-model units with power-adjusting front buckets and a
well-contoured rear with plenty of legroom. Even the side panels
and bikini top are done to match. Part of this custom style is also
knowing how to be useful, so high-traffic areas are done in black,
like the carpet and door armrests, so they can get used without
showing as much dirt. There's even an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with
USB and Bluetooth to bring you the best mush to the beach. You may
have noticed some of the Maui demigod themes inside and out. You
don't have to be a fan of the Disney movie Moana or the entire
mythological history to appreciate this Jeep. After all, we bet
Dwayne Johnson would approve of a bold, lifted, powerful, and
custom like this even if he weren't already Maui.
Under the hood may just be your favorite upgrade of them all. The
401 cubic-inch V8 was the largest in the Jeep/AMC line and is a
rarity to see outside of muscle cars. It's built well with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an HEI distributor, and a thick
aluminum radiator. There's even a promotional surfboard that comes
with the sale claiming 472 horsepower. And it certainly feels
healthy going down the road. A three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes give this added
confidence on the road. The lifted stance and two-speed 4x4
transfer case keep you going long after the pavement ends.
This is a very cool custom cruiser that never lets you lose sight
of its profound ability. This Maui is not a trickster; it's the
real deal. Call now!
