1981 Jeep CJ7- For sale is a really cool jeep cj with 167k miles on it...has the rock solid straight six cylinder 4.2 liter engine with the 4 speed manual transmission. This Jeep was one family owned for 32yrs and is all original. Has the hard top and full hard doors. Only thing that is not stock is couple year old baja wheels and 31 inch pro Comp off road tires...newer best top front seats...also has after market front and rear bumpers. Runs and drives really good (heater works awesome) but does have the typically underbody and tub rust....rusted thru spots on quarters, rear of jeep and driver floor board. This Jeep has not been cut up, patched or diamond plated over like most unrestored jeeps of this age. Had $600 worth of brake work done less then year ago (pads drums, master cylinder etc) and tires/ wheels less than 2 years old with 75% tread life (rims and tires $1500). This is a great old jeep in the original Copper Autumn color that you could either leave as is and have fun with or restore over time!! I took a ton of pictures so make sure you know what you are buying again this Jeep is all original but does have the rust issue you see in pics. Here is the list of the other issues with Jeep- does have a tendency to pop out of 2nd gear if you don't keep you hand on shifter...doesnt do it going down the road put when you are down shifting (mechanic I took to says it is syncronizer rings but suggested not to replace until it needs a new clutch) not a concern for me so didn't fix. The gas gauge does not work (again had looked at and said sending unit for gas needs to be replaced. Also the E-brake line needs to be replaced, cheap fix just didnt didnt do it because I don't use it. This all are common issues with this older jeeps and pretty inexpensive fixes. This Jeep fires right up very easy and is truely a solid old jeep. I will be posting a You-Tube clip of going thru jeep, starting cold, driving, shifting etc so will give you some more peace of mind with this auction. Please feel free to shoot me any messages that you may have with this jeep.
