BODY OVERVIEW:
This CJ7 has all the classic lines that made the Jeep a legend, dressed up in Golden Eagle style for maximum curb appeal. The body is straight and clean, showing the kind of care that makes this Jeep stand out on (or off) the road–just look at that undercarriage! From the bold grille to the iconic rear-mounted spare, it’s every inch the rugged head-turner a Jeep should be!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The recent gloss black paint is a real stunner—smooth, reflective, and with a healthy dose of gloss. It brings a sleek contrast to the gold wheels and decals, giving this Jeep an unmistakable presence no matter where it is parked. Though it may be a capable offroader, this one would be hard to get dirty!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The tan cloth interior and soft top pair perfectly with the exterior aesthetic. While some age and wear is evident on the seats and plastic windows, everything presents cleanly and is ready for adventure. The gauges are bright and clear, and discerning buyers will note that this CJ has both the optional clock and tachometer. The locking center console is a smart addition, offering modern convenience in a classic cockpit.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood, the AMC 304ci V8 sounds off with a real attitude thanks to those unmistakable Purple Hornies mufflers! It starts up strong and pulls with purpose, just as you'd expect from a well-dialed CJ. This thing feels like its ready to jump off the line! The 3-speed manual shifts confidently, and the 4x4 system with manual locking hubs means this Jeep is as capable as it is charismatic. Offroad tires with not-too-aggressive tread ensure this rig is trail-ready and street-tough.
