prostreetcustoms2009 Store Up for grabs is a fine example of an ORIGINAL BODY, ORIGINAL PAINT, ORIGINAL MOTOR 1980 Jeep CJ-7. This time capsule features the popular 258ci inline 6 and a 4 speed manual trans. This is a real head turner. The paint and decals do not look perfect as they are 31 years old, but how rare and special is it to have the chance to buy a cj with the original paint, decals, and motor with almost no rust and under 40,000 original miles!!! The jeep fires right up and does not smoke or burn any oil. The Jeep drives amazing, starts, runs, turns, handles, stops, and drives great.
