Up for bids is a 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief Sport. It has the original AMC 360 V8 with a 2 barrel carb. This thing runs great with no engine noise or smoke and starts everytime. It is obvious that it has been rebuilt at some point but not sure when. The transmission shifts good with no issues and the 4 wheel drive works good in all ranges. It is all time 4 wheel drive with the quadra trac selector in the glove box and a lever under the seat to lock it into low range. It has dana 44 diferentials front and rear and they are both in good shape. It has had new u-joints installed in the rear driveshaft. I have the new ones for the front driveshaft but just never put them in because there still tight. It has had a new u-joint installed in the front right axle as well as new bearings. The frame is in good shape with only surface rust, no rot or holes. As far as the body goes the outside is in decent shape but around the back wheel wells the inner and outer panels have rusted apart and someone has sprayed foam from the inside to seal it up. I guess it works but if your wanting to restore it the foam will need to be removed and the metal welded back. The window in the tailgate works(although someone wired up new switches for it) but the tailgate hinge on the passenger side has came loose. It will still open and close you just have to play with it a little bit. The tires are 31x10.5 and in good shape with right around half tread and they are all wore evenly. This jeep is by no means a show car but you can jump in it and drive it wherever you want to (on or off road). If you have any questions on something I may have forgot to mention feel free to ask. If you have little or no feedback contact me before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. Thanks for looking and good luck
