1980 Jeep - CJ-7

Product Details

The Jeep is about the most American Icon you can get with its strong heritage of the Willys and Jeep models used throughout the WWII campaign. Jeep was an off road machine first and then a fun civilian vehicle. With the addition of the unlimited models a few years ago, it allowed Jeep to really go after a much larger market share. Jeep owners are a unique and fun breed, always looking for some fun trail or road to start another adventure. This could be the reason that the aftermarket options for a Jeep are endless and no two are the exact same. The Jeep CJ-7 featured a wheelbase 10 inches longer than that of the CJ-5 and lacked its trademark rear curve of the door cutouts. The other main difference between CJ-5 and CJ-7 was to the chassis which consisted of two parallel longitudinal main C-section rails. To help improve vehicle handling and stability, the rear section of the chassis stepped out to allow the springs and shock absorbers to be mounted closer to the outside of the body. It was introduced in for the 1976 model year, with 379,299 were built during 11 years of production. Powering this CJ-7 is a Chevy 350 small block V8 and 3-speed automatic transmission. There has been a 2.5" lift added with 33" tires. The body and paint are in great shape, with no major work needing to be done. The interior is black vinyl with a newer back seat put in, and as you can see in the pictures with the Jeep on the lift the frame and under carriage are extremely clean. Inside, the floor pans are Rhino lined to maintain their strength and stability. According to the owner a new Edelbrock carburetor as well as the fuel tank and fuel lines have been updated recently as well. New double diaphragm power brake booster and new double Flowmaster exhaust system gives this Jeep a distinctive rumble! Also just installed is a new Lokar automatic shifter with indicator lights, neutral safety switch, and a detent push button to ensure safe shifting. This CJ drives and shifts strong with the 4WD working as it should. With summer just around the corner there is truly nothing like cruising around in a Jeep with the doors off, or getting yourself deep in the mud, but hey “Its Jeep thing”.
