This 1978 Jeep CJ7 is a really cool, all steel, solid and clean CJ
that spent its life in Arizona. We bought this from the 2nd owner
and it still has the original paint and the original LEVI's
emblems. This is a factory V8 with some nice modifications. This
Jeep was known as "Junior" back in the day and you can still see
"Junior" on the sides. The original owner was the President of the
local Jeep club and used the Jeep for trail rides acting mostly as
a spotter for people. The miles are said to be original and we
believe it based on everything we see. The body and steel on this
Jeep is awesome! Solid and Clean. The Sunshine Yellow paint appears
to be all original and polished up nicely with only some minor
patina. It still has the original front bumper with a tow bar and
they added an 8,000 pound winch that is working. The rear bumper is
the original hitch bumper. The factory hard top and doors are still
in great condition. The underside is super clean and you can still
see the original yellow paint in places. We found no rust issues
with this Jeep.
The interior is you basic Jeep interior and is still nice. It has
new Bestop Highback Trailmax II seats in the front and a new Bestop
fold and tumble rear seat in the back. It has the factory roll bar
with new padding and a nice center console. The headlights
taillights, brakelights, and turn signals are all working. The
gauges all work. It has tilt steering wheel. The horn and
windshield wipers work. The heat works. It has an aftermarket
stereo that is working. It also has a CB that powers up and appears
to be working.
Mechanically this Jeep is top notch! It runs and drives great! It
has the 5.0 AMC 304 V8 engine that is believed to be the original
and the cowl tag supports that. It was rebuilt around 10,000 miles
ago per the last owner but we did not get the receipt. It appears
totally stock under the hood and still has the factory smog hooked
up. They rebuilt the carb and added a HEI ignition and Flowmaster
exhaust. The engine runs strong. The transmission is an upgraded T5
5 Speed Manual that shifts great (used to be 3 speed manual). This
was done the same time as the engine and they replaced the clutch.
It is mated to the Dana 20 transfer case and the 4WD works like it
should. The rear axle is the AMC 20 with 3.73 gears and an ARB Air
Locker with an ARB Compressor. The front axle is a Dana 30 with
3.73 gears and it also has an ARB Locker. It has a 2 Inch all
spring lift with heavy duty shackles. This Jeep does have power
steering and power front disc brakes. It is sitting on a nice set
of aftermarket aluminum wheels with 33 Inch All terrain tires.
We drive what we sell so that we can give you a first hand and

you everything so you can get a true representation of the
