VERY RARE ORIGINAL END OF PRODUCTION 1986 JEEP CJ LAREDOThis charcoal metallic 1986 CJ7 Laredo is all original with NO DAMAGE HISTORY AND ONLY 23,102 miles on it.. YES, I MEAN NO paint touch up, NO dents, NO dings, NO BODY FILLER, ALL ORIGINAL PAINT AND ALL ORIGINAL DECALS!!!!!!!!! The options for this CJ7 include: Laredo package, 6 cylinder 258/4.2 litre engine, 20 gallon fuel tank, trailer draw bar, T176 4 speed heavy duty transmission, AM/FM stereo radio, heavy duty cooling, period correct nurff bars, HEAVY DUTY Dana 44 rear axle (though not an option, it was only found on the 1986 end of production CJs due to the fact that AMC/JEEP ran out of the standard Dana 20 axle and substituted the Dana 44 axle in its place). The jeep still has the original limited duty Goodyear poly spare which has never been used (RARE). I will include the 5th matching chrome wheel with a new Goodyear wrangler radial on it. This was an option in 1985 and 1986. The jeep has 5 new Goodyear Wrangler radials (P235/75/R15) on it with less then 200 miles on them. This CJ has absolutely NO oil or fluid leaks of any type. It starts right up and runs and idles GREAT. It drives straight down the road and does NOT pull to either side when you apply the brakes. The paint is in phenomenal shape for its age. There are a few very small rock chips on the front finders. The clear scuff guard tape on the lower door entry frame/sill has started to turn a light yellow color and has started to check and crack from age. This is a simple fix, you can still order new scuff guard tape for the sills, but it will take time and patiencs to get the old stuff off. At some point in time, the original radio was replaced with a modern style radio. We reinstalled the original Jeep AM/FM stereo, but had to make a backing plate for the original opening in the dash because it had been altered. The only way you would know this is to crawl under the dash and look at it from the back side. There is NO indication looking from the front side that the dash had ever been altered for the radio. The only other thing I am aware of that has been changed on this CJ is pulse air system. It has been removed from the Jeep, but the rest of the emission stuff is still there. Believe or not, you can still purchase the components from the dealer or through an aftermarket supplier to reinstall the pulse air system. I am not sure how they did it, but it still has the original factory BBD Carter carb., and still runs and idles GREAT. When looking through the photos, you may see a light reddish color on some of the metal or in some of the nooks and crannies of the jeep, IT IS NOT RUST, IT IS RED GEORGIA DUST!!! This Jeep spent its entire life in the SE and most of that time in a climate controlled environment. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS COMPLETELY RUST FREE CJ TODAY, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK OR SAY, YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND SOME SORT OF LIGHT SURFACE RUST ON SOMETHING, EVEN ON A BRAND NEW WRANGLER THAT JUST ROLLED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE, IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH. NOW WITH THAT BEING SAID, THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE CLEANEST CJ LAREDOS ON THE MARKET TODAY. For most of you that know me in the CJ community, know the CJ Laredo is my passion and that I spend a lot of time reproducing items specifically for CJ Laredo and know that I am a pretty straight up and honest guy. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS ONE NICEST, ALL ORIGINAL CJ LAREDOS YOU WILL EVER FIND TODAY. When you look at this CJ in person, it is amazing how vivid all the colors are on this thing, from the gauges to red push buttons on the seat belts, you will be amazed! Look at the photos of the mirror and hood latches, all original. Yes, it has the chrome mirror head, stainless steel arm, black mounting brackets, black arm bushings and black torx screws. That is rare to see today. Also, the hood latches are all original too. This is another common item missing on the CJ today. The Jeep comes with the original bill of sale from Jasper Jeep in Jasper GA and it still has the dealer's name decal on the back right side of the body. This CJ Laredo belongs in a collector's collection or an auto museum. If you plan to make it a rock crawler or modify it with a big lift kit and big tires, SORRY, THIS JEEP IS NOT FOR YOU!!!!!!!
