Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this 1985 AMC Jeep
CJ-7 Renegade. This Jeep is the perfect vehicle for fair-weather
open air fun! The Flame Red paint is a respray of its original
color and it is in good driver condition. Up front you'll find a
gleaming chrome 7-slot vertical grille with round headlights in
bright bezels. Beneath is an equally nice tubular chrome bumper
with an overrider and KC Daylighter fog lights (with covers). The
hood is adorned with gold "RENEGADE" decals in good condition that
add to the sporty look. Both the hood and the fold-flat windshield
have chrome hinges that pop in the light. Bright touches continue
with the dual side mirrors and tubular side-step bars. Both sides
of the Jeep feature black fender flares, gold "JEEP" lettering
ahead of the doors, and removable hard doors with roll-up windows.
Around back are another mirror-finish tubular chrome bumper, a
tailgate with gold JEEP lettering, dual exhaust, and a tow-hitch
receiver. Up top you'll find roll bars wrapped in padded tan vinyl
and a black bikini top. This truck is being offered with a full tan
soft-top with a frame, but the mounting hardware is incomplete and
we are unable to attach it. This Jeep sits high and proud atop
Prime 8-hole alloy wheels all wrapped in 35X13.50 R15 Toyo Open
Country Tires. The tall stance of this CJ-7 comes courtesy of the
large tires in conjunction with Rubicon shock absorbers on all 4
corners and 3" leaf shackles up front and 4.5" in the rear. Other
suspension upgrades include quick-disconnect front swaybar links
and a Rancho front steering stabilizer.
Under the curved hood is the highlight of this CJ-7 - the original
engine is gone and it's been replaced by an 8-cylinder LS Vortec
engine! What an upgrade! While we have no details about the LS and
no receipts for the swap, we can say with certainty that it runs
strong and smooth and it looks like it was professionally done. The
engine sounds fantastic as it rumbles through shorty headers and
Flowmaster mufflers before exiting at the rear. The LS V-8 is mated
up to a Muncie SM465 4-speed transmission with a creeper gear.
Power travels through a Dana 20 transfer case to a stock AMC 20
rear axle and a stock Dana 30 front axle. Stopping power comes from
power front disc and rear drum brakes.
Open the drivers door and step up into this Jeep to find a
typically spartan interior. The hard doors are dressed with light
brown vinyl door panels. There are bucket seats up front and a
small bench in the rear - all covered in tan vinyl. The drivers
seat does have a couple of spots where a seam is starting to split,
but all of the seats are in good overall condition. Between the
front buckets is a metal center console box from Tuffy Security
Products. It offers a padded armrest, two cupholders, and a large
storage area. Inside the box is a Sony XM 502X amplifier, an
original owners manual, and some Flame Red touch-up paint. Rising
up from the floor ahead of the console box are shifters for the
4-speed transmission and for the 4-wheel drive. The 4-speed shifter
has a black pattern ball and the 4WD has a black grenade for a ball
- both have black rubber boots. The floor is carpet-free, so you
don't have to worry about messing it up with mud, sand, or stains.
Ahead of the driver is a 3-spoke chrome and wood steering wheel
that fronts a red painted dash topped with a crack-free tan vinyl
dashpad. On the dash you'll find a speedometer with integrated fuel
and temp gauges, working heater and fan controls, individual gauges
for volts and oil pressure, a switch for the wipers (motor seems to
work, arms do not move), and a tubular chrome grab-handle ahead of
the passenger. Also in the dash is an Alpine CDM-98233 AM/FM/CD
stereo that utilizes the aforementioned amplifier to play your
favorite tunes through two Pioneer dash speakers and a pb (Power
Bass) subwoofer box behind the rear seat. Mounted under the dash is
a switch for the fog lights.
If you're in the market for a fair-weather Jeep CJ-7 that stands
out from the crowd then check this one out! It has a fantastic look
with an excellent color combo, bright chrome trim, an LS Vortec
engine, 4-wheel drive, a manual transmission, power steering and
brakes, a great high stance, and a decent sound system! Snatch this
one up while you still can, because it surely won't be here for
long!
