Vehicle Description
This 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief has that awesome classic 4x4 style
you love. But a Jeep also loves to be useful. So as you look over
the full package, you're also going to see fresh investments in
details like the suspension, gauges, and fuel injection for the V8.
It makes for an attractive and handy iconic classic.
Jeep made these quite attractive from day one. The Cherokee Chief
means wide fender flares, and that goes nicely with the rest of the
beefy line. The power dome hood, imposing wide grille, and
well-creased body lines give this one an instant presence. Plus, it
has a well-done color package with an updated gray paint that has a
nice metallic element to radiate in the sunshine. This goes well
with the dark accents, like the black around the windows, bumper
guards, and black Cherokee Chief stripe graphics on the side and
tailgate. The overall idea with the fit and finish is to be
attractive but never stop you from really using this as a useful
4x4. It's why you have striking polished 15-inch wheels that also
hold the meaty off-road tires. There's also the trailer hitch, roof
rack, and upgraded LED headlights that light the way forward
better.
The interior is about being inviting while also staying a true
classic. You can also tell the trim is nice and vintage, right down
to the Cherokee Chief badge on the dash. There are cool stock-style
details everywhere from the grippy Jeep steering wheel to the AM/FM
stereo that has an integrated CB radio (currently only for
display.) But this is also quite comfy with newer tweed on the
split front seat, added sound insulation materials, cup holders, a
smooth dash, and full plush new carpeting. There are even
provisions for air conditioning (it's a newer system but it will
need additional servicing.) And the upgrade to a Dakota Digital VHX
gauge package is a terrific way to better enjoy what's under the
hood.
Jeep's 360 cubic-inch V8 is an awesomely stout powerplant, and it
only gets better with a solid investment within about the last year
that gives you the right new components. This includes an Edelbrock
intake, Davis Unified Ignition, and long tube headers. Plus, it's
all topped with a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system
for the best in power and consistency. As you look underneath,
you'll see more new investments, like new Skyjacker shocks, a
steering box, trans mount, and more. It's a nice total package to
go with the 4x4 set up to give you real confidence when the
pavement ends. And the three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, power brakes, and front discs are welcomed in all
conditions.
The sale comes with build receipts, the owner's manual, and a box
of spare components. This Jeep has an awesome sense of style and
ability. So if you want a head-turning vintage vehicle that knows
how to be a real 4x4, call today!
