Despite being initially conceived for military use, the original Willys Jeep was clearly destined for a much larger audience. It wasn’t long until a Civilian Jeep (CJ) model was launched, with concepts drawn up even before World War 2 ended. The seventh generation of Jeep, aka the CJ7, is a natural evolution of the original. It retains the battle-proven abilities of its military ancestor but offers a driving experience more suited for the general public. The Laredo trim took that a step higher with more amenities, including improved seats, a tachometer, chrome trim, and special graphics. Our featured car is a Jeep CJ7 Laredo, which has a host of new parts, including a recently rebuilt engine.
The Jeep CJ7 Laredo’s exterior is characterized by added chrome and the “Laredo” graphics prominently displayed on either side of the car’s hood. It is painted black and features a matching black bikini top. The owner also reports that this off-roader comes with new doors. This CJ7 sits on aftermarket wheels from off-road wheel specialists Dick Cepek. The alloy wheels feature locking hubs and are wrapped in 33-inch mud terrain tires. Inside, you’ll find a black interior with individual highback seats for front-seat occupants and a rear bench. There’s even a Continental radio, which blends in perfectly with the aesthetic of this '80s off-road icon. There’s also a Jeep-branded three-spoke steering wheel up front and additional gauges for oil pressure and voltage. Being a Laredo model, this Jeep comes with a tachometer, while temperature and fuel gauges are housed as subdials inside an 85-mph speedometer.
Under the hood of this small off-roader is a powerplant that is anything but small. You’ll find a 4.2-liter inline-six engine, which was rated when new to output 98 hp and 193 lb-ft of torque. While the chassis has 140,000 miles on it, the owner reports that this 1980 Jeep CJ7’s engine was rebuilt under 7,000 miles ago. Power is sent to all four wheels via a manual transmission.

Jeep's much-loved CJ series is a line-up of small, two-door off-roaders that won the hearts of Americans, as well as wherever else it was sold. Debuting in 1944, Willys-Overland created the CJ as a civilianized version of their popular wartime Jeeps. After all, with the war ending, they needed a new source of bread-and-butter. Several iterations were made in sequence, with the CJ-7 appearing in 1976. It ran for ten years, and was even built under license by South Korea's Ssangyong Motor Company. This was common, as Mitsubishi Motors Japan also got the license to build the Jeep CJ-3B much earlier. However, this 1979 Jeep CJ-7 is an all-American product that has received a new heart, and some enhancements. It's perfect if you're in search of a spunky weekend toy for those impromptu off-road forays. The vehicle reportedly has 40,000 miles on it, but the new engine counts less than 1,500 miles.
In a landscape teeming with modern off-roaders, each more costly than the last, what they invariably lack, unlike a vintage Jeep, is character. This 1979 Jeep CJ7 restoration embodies that very essence. Evolving from the Willys Jeep's military roots, the CJ7 introduced enhanced power, comfort, and utility, wrapped in the iconic Jeep silhouette. This meticulously restored CJ7 showcases a rebuilt drivetrain, superior component upgrades, and custom enhancements, clocking less than 7,000 miles since its rebuild.

While Ford had the legendary Bronco, General Motors was backing their own iconic horse in the full-size SUV category of the ‘70s. It fielded their ever-popular Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy models. By 1975, the Jimmy was into its second generation.
