This 1979 Jeep CJ-7 Golden Eagle was purchased in Arizona in 2020
and relocated to California, where it underwent a multi-year
restoration. Highlights include retrofitting a rebuilt
fuel-injected 360ci AMC V8 and overhauling the three-speed manual
transmission and Dana 20 transfer case along with a repaint in
Wimbeldon White, an interior refresh, and the installation of a
2.5? suspension lift with Fox shocks and Old Man Emu components. A
Bestop soft top is fitted along with a Kentrol front bumper, 15?
alloy wheels, 33? tires, an MSD distributor, Edelbrock valve
covers, Hedman headers, and a retro-look digital stereo wired to
Kicker speakers. This CJ-7 is now offered with uninstalled steel
doors and a clean California title in the seller's name.
The factory steel tub was repainted in basecoat/clearcoat Wimbledon
White after which a replacement windshield, black fender flares,
side mirrors, lighting, decals, and a Kentrol front bumper were
installed. The rear bumperettes and rocker moldings were reportedly
refreshed, and features include a tan bikini-style Bestop soft top,
removable soft half-doors, a roll bar, dual side mirrors, and hood
latches. In addition paint-matched steel full doors will be
included in the sale.
The 15? slot-mag-style alloy wheels are mounted with 33�12.50?
Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires the seller says have fewer than
400 miles. A matching spare is fitted to a rear swing-away carrier.
A 2.5? suspension lift with Fox Shocks, boomerang shackles, and Old
Man Emu "soft ride" components is installed. The truck has power
steering, and braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and
rear drums.
The interior was painted white during the refurbishment, after
which beige Bestop front seats were installed along with a
fold-and-tumble rear seat, color-coordinated carpet, a VDP center
console, seat belts, and a replacement glove box and sun visors.
The truck has a heater along with a Jeep-branded digital stereo
wired to front and rear Kicker speakers.
The replacement steering wheel sits on a rebuilt steering column.
Dash-mounted instrumentation consists of a 90-mph speedometer, a
tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel
level, voltage, and oil pressure. The odometer shows 3,700 miles,
which is said to represent the mileage since the refurbishment.
Factory-fitted with a 304ci V8, the Jeep received a rebuilt 360ci
AMC V8 during the refurbishment, per the seller, along with the
following components:
Howell fuel injection
Edelbrock valve covers & air cleaner
MSD distributor & plug wires
100-amp "Mean Green" alternator
Optima Red Top battery
Hedman ceramic-coated headers
2.5? exhaust with Borla mufflers
3-row aluminum radiator
Replacement "Mean Green" starter
New fuel tank & sending unit
