This is a rare original sheet metal rot free (never patched) 1985 Jeep CJ7 Laredo model with an Automatic transmission. This gorgeous 25 year old Classic Jeep CJ7 Laredo is an investment, not an expenditure. It will retain it's value and appreciate if you take care of it. Keep it away from salt, change the oil, and simply maintain it and enjoy it. If you need to sell it, there will be a neighbor, friend or near by buyer wanting it. Clean, un-rusted, unpatched, non-fiberglass, 76 to 86 CJ's are ALWAYS in demand. This one is no exception and the rare Automatic transmission makes it an easier to enjoy because all family members can use it This Jeep came to me with rot free floors, sides etc and original faded paint and received a show quality base / clear paint job with the best available original decals reapplied from Austin Jeeps. Again, It was only painted due to faded paint and flaking clear coat. There is no patching done to the floors...ANYWHERE. There was no rust. There were no holes. There is no flaky rust underneath and never even anything close to rot on the frame. The camera doesn't show it but you can see the factory spot welds on the side of the Jeep just the way they were on the show room floor which is how you know you are getting an honest (not patched) Jeep. There is nothing to show or hide in the pictures of this Jeep other than a very nice original Jeep you will be proud to own and enjoy driving. It has the minor things replaced from Trailquest where needed like Heater cables, marker lights, dash lights, etc The Jeep is a 258 6 Cylinder automatic. Starts easy every time and shifts as it should. It has a good exhaust with the catalytic converter still in place. 4wd, lockouts etc all work fine. The frame of this Jeep is still original black rust free and not doctored up with a used car lot rattle can and the floors would shine on the underside if you wanted to clean and polish them. The odometer shows the mileage as 115,524 but the title is checked NOT ACTUAL. I don't know why. I also know the engine is and looks like it always was a 6 Cylinder yet the Auto check says it's a 4 which is clearly wrong. It drives nice and easy in town or on the highway and has 5 brand new tires on it at a cost of $750 (2 miles since installed). It does not ride like a stagecoach like a lifted or modified CJ. It is smooth and enjoyable. Factory Laredo Tachometer, Clock, lights, horn, fuel, heater, wipers and temp gauges all working.

Rudy has been on E-Bay for 10 years and received his 1st negative feedback from a buyer in Spain who bought an item only available to the US. Upon informing the buyer it wasn't available for him to buy, the feedback was left. The unfortunate bureaucracy of E-Bay would not strike this blemish from a spotless record of Golden Rule Business practices. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and Please Remember Our Troops!

It is the same color as the Laredo. Note it is shown with a similar top so you can see what it looks like. http://www.dotphoto.com/Go.asp?l=racinrudy&P=&AID=6188845&Pres=Y Lastly, my Jeep won't be given away at a reduced price later. Usually after it sells I get 3 emails saying if it falls through, I want it....and it never falls through for lack of wanting the Jeep. No arrogance but they all sell because they are nicer than most and this is what I do for a living. I have sold 5 clean CJs this month alone. The Buy it Now price is more than fair and is not a pie in the sky get rich number. I don't play pricing games and the reserve is near the Buy it Now while compensating for the additional premium soft top and doors Thank you, Rudy
