For Sale: 1986 Jeep CJ7 in Lutz, Florida

Distinct, vintage, and capable are all ways to describe this 1986 Jeep CJ7. And since "affordable" fits this one, too, you can't help but be attracted to this red-on-red 4x4.


We like the attitude this puts forward. The factory-correct Garnet Red has a bold style. It was even given a later respray to make sure it still has a nice metallic radiance in the sunshine - after all, your Jeep is meant to be outdoors. But an outdoor lifestyle also means the finish never gets too fancy to be useful. And that's the right balance this one has. There's more shine coming from functional upgrades like the 15-inch wheels and tubular side steps. They join the polished grille and mirrors for a touch of premium. That feeling is furthered by the gold stripe package. This CJ certainly earns its distinction because 1986 was the end of an era. This was the last of the CJs, and these Civilian Jeeps have their roots in the WWII hero vehicles. Tubular doors, flared fender, and tubular steel bumpers with hitch receivers (both front and rear) all represent how the CJ line established a reputation for being useful and fun.


Jeeps love to be open to the world, and this rarely-seen and factory-correct red interior just seems like even more of a reason to have a full outdoor experience. Those front bucket seats provide good bolstering for plenty of comfort. The rear seat is also covered in matching vinyl. A rugged floor, proper roll bar w/padding, lockable center console, and shoulder belts complete a well-done package. There are also a full soft top and doors that come with the sale, but they will need some added work to be able to seal up this CJ again. This has been built to be a good driver, and that's why you have a tall shifter, tilt steering column, and upgraded power and oil pressure SunPro readouts. Plus, the Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input and upgraded speakers upgrade the driving music. And one more reason to stay open to the world is so that people can spot the "Last of a Great Breed" plaque on the dash that was done for the 1986 models.


Under the hood is a mainstay for Jeep fans. The 258 cubic-inch inline-six is beloved for its hardy nature. The powerhouse looks quite honest with its stock presentation. It fires up readily, and the four-speed manual transmission gives you good control and flexibility. So while it's unknown if the five-digit odometer reflects the actual mileage, it certainly runs with the confidence of a well-kept SUV. Delivering on this off-road stature are the two-speed 4x4 transfer case and Wild Country XTX tires. But the appeal of a classic Jeep is more than just about getting deeper into nature. When it's time to just enjoy the pavement, this has the right in-town driving features, like power steering and front disc brakes.


This is the final-year CJ with a distinct look and plenty of rugged features. So at a price like this, you don't want to miss this deal. Call today!!!
