Complete Pictures (including undercarriage) and Video at www.4-wheelclassics.com
This 1983 Jeep CJ-7 is a very very nice and very very clean example that is very stock in appearance which you do not see too much nowadays. This Jeep spent most of its life in Indiana as a summer toy for an elderly gentleman who always kept it stored in his heated barn even when he went to Florida for the winter. This is a great looking Jeep! The body is clean and straight. The Jeep Night Blue Paint still looks great but it does have some stone chips touched up from over the years. It is set off with the RENEGADE decals that look really cool (Unsure if this is an original Renegade). It has the factory hard top and doors and factory roll bar. The underside has been completely detailed by the last owner and looks amazing. We found no rust issues with this Jeep.
The interior appears to be all original and is still really nice. It still has the factory upholstery on the seats with driver seat showing a little wear as you would expect. The factory carpet up front is still nice and the factory door panels are excellent. The factory dash panel is uncut and still excellent as well. The factory dash pad is also in great condition except for 1 small crack in the middle. The last owner removed the whole interior and cleaned and painted the floor so that also looks fantastic. The headlights, taillights, brakelights, and turn signals are all working. The heat, horn, and windshield wipers are also working.
Mechanically this Jeep is excellent and it runs and drives awesome. The engine is the 4.2L 258 Inline 6 that runs strong with no issues or red flags that we found. The engine was totally rebuilt 1500 miles ago and we have some of the receipts for that work but you can clearly see the engine is like new in the pictures. They replaced the stock carb with a new Carter and we still have the original. They also added a HEI ignition. It has the T4 Manual 4 speed transmission that shifts nice with a good clutch which was replaced when the engine was rebuilt. It is mated to the Dana 300 transfer case and the 4WD works like it should. The rear axle is the AMC20 with 3.54 gears. The front axle is the Dana 30 with 3.54 gears. It recently had a Redhead Steering Box installed and a 1 Inch Lift with HD Shackles. This is all sitting on a nice set of Wagon Wheels with 31 Inch All terrain Tires. Cool Jeep...Cool Find.
