For Sale: 1981 Jeep CJ7 in Grand Rapids, Michigan

1981 Jeep CJ-7 - Perfect Weekend Cruiser or Daily Driver - 350ci V8 - Turbo 350 Automatic Transmission - Fiberglass Body - Full Soft Top and Doors - Maroon Exterior - Black Interior Featured here is an outstanding 1981 Jeep CJ-7 that has been fully rebuilt and tastefully modified. This Jeep is ready for weekends full of exploring two-tracks, dune cruising or just pulling duty as a daily driver with a rugged image. During the resto-modification process, the original body was replaced with a fiberglass tub, and still retains the original front-end sheet metal which includes the front fenders, hood, and trademark Jeep grille. The body was painted a deep burgundy color and the finish shines with a rich luster. The bumpers have been upgraded with a front double tubular bumper and a rock crawler-style rear bumper with a receiver hitch. The hood and windshield hinges along with the rearview mirrors have been upgraded with chrome replacements along with a Best Top removable soft top and frame with soft doors. Inside the Jeep remains for the most part stock appearing; however, the factory hoop roll bar was upgraded to a full roll bar kit to better protect the driver and passenger. The front seats have been upgraded to high-back bucket seats and a locking center console complete with cup holders was added as well. The factory Speedometer and gauge package are still intact in the factory steel dash along with the heater and ventilation system and controls. Gear selection is handled by a floor-mounted B&M shifter with stock controls for the transfer case. The interior has been coated with a truck bedliner coating to protect the floors and for ease of clean up. Under the hood sits a lightly modified Chevrolet 5.7-liter V8. The engine features a Summit Racing 4bbl carburetor with an electric choke sitting atop an aluminum Edelbrock Performer intake. A GM HEI ignition lights the fires in the combustion chamber and the burnt gases flow smoothly through a set of high-performance headers into a dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. An Edelbrock open-element air cleaner and a set of Chevy Performance chrome valve covers add some additional bling to the nicely detailed engine compartment. This hot setup stays cool through an aluminum radiator with factory shroud and flex fan. Power is transferred through GM 350THM 3-speed automatic transmission through the stock AMC transfer case. The stock differentials are in place with the front differential having manual lockout hubs. Underneath the chassis has been nicely detailed and painted in chassis black. The frame is clean with the back half of the frame having been boxed in and strengthened. This Jeep sports a 4 suspension lift that is further enhanced by a set of 15 Mickey Thompson Alloy wheels wrapped in 33 M/T Baja MTZ radial tires. The suspension has been well maintained and includes new shocks on all four corners and a new steering dampener. Power Steering makes turning those massive Mickey Thompson tires effortless, and power-assisted brakes with front discs and rear drums bring this rugged Jeep to a halt with ease. There is no doubt owning a Jeep is more than just owning a fun-to-drive vehicle, it is a lifestyle. Jeep owners are a tight-knit group that share a passion for the outdoors and driving the road less traveled. Please call if interested or e-mail with specific questions. Thank you for looking.
