1983 Jeep CJ7 Red On red/black. Hardtop and metal doors. Very tiny amount of surface rust where body stripes were. ENGINE: 4.2 258 inline 6 cylinder 4-speed manual transmission. Motor was supposed to have been rebuilt about 25,000 miles ago but I have no proof. Engine runs good. Carb was just rebuilt. Has the nutter bypass done but all original equipment is still there except 02 sensor and EGR. Cold starts and idles at approx 1650 rpm, then idles down to 700 rpm when warm. Timing is set at 12 degrees and starts and runs great. Transmission/transfer case shifts as it should. Could use a new muffler and tailpipe. TIRES: BF Goodrich 33x12.50x15. Nice tread. Some dry rot. Few chunks missing here and there. They came off of a rock crawler. BODY: Said to be original paint. Has some worn spots on hood and fender tops. Still has a decent shine with some wax. No rust through anywhere. Very little surface rust under where there were some body stripes. Windshield frame has some surface rust on the lower section under glass. It also has some holes drilled in upper corners that look like a lightbar or something was installed. Floorboards nice. Fiberglass hardtop is in nice shape. Metal doors have a little bit of rust on the window surrounds. Has chrome accent hinges and trim pieces, I assume these are aftermarket. Stone guards on all lights. Has swing away rear tire carrier(no spare). All lights work(drivers front fender marker light needs replaced). No real dents to speak of. FRAME HAS NO RUST AT ALL!!! SUSPENSION: 4 inch skyjacker softride front and rear leaf lift. Right rear shock bad. Quick disconnect skyjacker sway bar links. I will include 4 warrior offroad extended shackles. I dont prefer these extended shackles but you can have them. It has 3 inch stock style shackles right now. It also comes with a transfer case drop kit. Don't think you need it but it is included. Not sure of gear ratio or anything as I took this in on a trade. The heater has had the chevy blazer fan upgrade. It blows with some force unlike the original. The top climate control cable that controls vent/heat/etc needs some attention. it still works but not right. Jeep has bestop seats, nice and comfortable. Needs: Windshield-cracked. Muffler. Right rear shock. Headlight switch knob. Heater cable mentioned above either adjusted or replaced. No glove box liner. I traded around and ended up with this jeep. I kind of fell in love with it but I am getting ready to move. I would like to keep it but it is not practical to drag it across the country(I'm taking 3 others already). I know this jeep needs a little work so I feel I have priced it accordingly. I will give the winning bidder the option of a new windshield for $175. That is my cost to have it professionally installed. If you want the windshield, you can pay the $175 and I will have it put in before you come and get it. Clear South Dakota Title will be sent to you as soon as payment is made in full. I don't charge storage or anything and the jeep can sit here approx 60 days before I leave. $500 NON REFUNDABLE deposit due through paypal within 24 hours of auction end. Remainder due in 7 days either in cash, cashier check, or certified money order ONLY!!! Feel free to call me at 605-858-3400 with any questions or picture/video needs. You are welcome to come and drive it, take it to a mechanic to be checked over, whatever you want to do. The jeep mileage may go up a bit as I do drive it occasionally. As soon as the first bid is received, it will be parked and plates removed. The jeep is for sale locally and I reserve the right to remove listing at any time. Once the jeep gets a bid, it will sell to highest bidder and local sale will be removed as an option. Thank you and happy bidding!!!
