Perfect for off-road enthusiasts, this Jeep CJ is a reliable choice for those looking for a vintage SUV with modern amenities.
I bought this Jeep from dealer in North Carolina who was offering it on consignment for the owner. It had a bit over 17000 miles on the odometer (new gauges) and it was obvious the Jeep had been restored at some point (probably 17000 miles before I bought it) with the engine and interior worked on, and a decent relatively new red paint job. It runs very strong and will maintain 65+ mph on the highway, including hills. A prior owner put headers in it, so I would guess he was interested in strong performance.
The Jeep has an updated interior with custom seats, a built-in stereo system with four speakers, custom diamond plate dash with all new, working gauges (speedo, tach, water temp and charge). The heater works great.
Because it was originally purchased and registered in southern states before I bought it four years ago, it has a rust-free chassis and body. I added the plow mount and plow and use it to do my own driveway. With the weather warming in NY, I usually end up using it 3 to 4 times a year. I also upgraded the ignition to a HEI system with a larger distributor cap and new spark plug wires.
Last two photos show engine build code (built Jul 1,1985 and is 6 cylinder - 258 Cubic inch) and block casting number (Id's 258 Cubic Inch block type cast between 1981 and 1985).
It has a hard top on it now, but a bikini top is included.
The Jeep has about a 4-inch lift and 31" tires which give it a rugged Jeep look and turns heads.
I have put about 2000 miles on it in the four years I have owned it. I don't drive it much because it is a third vehicle and my wife is not up for roughing it. Me, the dog, and my grandson love it, but it's just not practical to leave it sitting in the driveway when it is so ready to be driven.
