PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY! GREAT DAILY DRIVER OR EASY RESTORATION PROJECT! 1981 Jeep CJ7 Renegade..Last year of the narrow tracks..258ci 6cyl, BW T18 4spd w/6.0 low gear, Dana 300 T-Case, PS, Hard Top and Bikini Top w/soft half soft doors. This is an unrestored rust free original California CJ7..The body is good with the usual array of small dings and holes drilled through the years for different tops,carriers,handles,speakers etc..The frame and floors are solid..The paint and decals are ok for being 20+ years old but do show wear. The factory rear spare tire carrier has been re-installed as per the pics. New windshield,dash pad,passenger mirror,muffler and fender flairs. The engine is a 258(4.2L) 6cyl that starts and runs great..it has had a carburetor conversion to a Motorcraft 2bbl but otherwise appears to be stock..it does have the usual oil seeps and drips that are common with this era of Jeep. The low geared BW T18 trans and Dana 300 t-case were converted by a previous owner and work fine..clutch hooks good with no chatter. Has add-a-leaves and Confer spring shackles. The rest of the running gear is stock as far as I have found. 3.73 open diffs. Also has winch mount on front. The interior is good driver quality..Front driver seat has been taped on the edge..passenger seats are good with all seat belts still intact..has lockable aftermarket steel center console w/AM-FM CD Stereo mounted in it..all gages work. Carpet is worn and stained,but ok for daily driving. Has original chrome Jeep Wagon Wheels(incl spare)and 33-12.50-15 tires that are only about 20%..Also comes with a set of 4 BFG AT's that are 32/11.50/15's mounted on black spoke wheels,the tires are about 20% also. It was involved in a collision in California in 1991 and has been on a salvage title ever since according to Car Fax..I was not the owner at that time,so am not sure how much damage was done,but I do know it runs and drives great/straight! I've had it up to 65mph and it drove as good and stable as any other CJ I've owned! Can't honestly tell what if any body panels were replaced at the time and the frame and frame horns look great and undamaged. The odometer reads 30000 miles,but I believe that to be 130000 since there is no sixth digit..In Idaho anything that is over 10yrs old is considered exempt on the miles. Please call 208-965-0664(NO TEXTS!)with any questions..Pre-purchase inspections are encouraged and welcomed..please call with questions and assume nothing! This Jeep CJ is a solid unrestored project/daily driver,not restored or perfect!! Jeep can be stored for up to 60 days at no additional charge after purchase and payment is complete..can also assist with shipping options and loading on this end. Thanks!
