Overview of 1978 Jeep CJ-7 For Sale by Owner

After making the transition to building civilian versions of their famed military off-roaders, Jeep quickly became a byword for stylish, practical, and dependable transport that could do anything and go virtually anywhere. One look at our 1978 Jeep CJ-7 and you’ll see its war-winning roots. At the same time, it continues to bear a resemblance to a brand that continues to mobilise many off-roading enthusiasts. Now with an upgraded 304ci AMC V8 engine under the hood and additional functional and stylistic modifications, this Jeep CJ-7 is looking for a new home. It could be the deal of the year, with the owner reporting to have fully restored this Jeep with over $13,000 worth of upgrades.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1978 Jeep CJ-7 makes no business hiding its off-road capabilities. It rides tall courtesy of a lift kit, and sits on aftermarket wheels which are wrapped in Hankook 35x12.5 tires. The truck features a full fiberglass body, which is finished in a shade of orange. Part of that upgraded shell is a tilt-nose hood for easy engine access, plus a soft top with soft doors for that no-holds-barred outdoors experience. There are also 9-inch LED off-road lights, as well as LED taillights and a Reese-style hitch. The cabin is a spartan affair, with just the essentials retained for this impressive build. The interior has been spray-lined for durability. You’ll find new front bucket seats, which have been outfitted with seatbelts for added safety. You’ll even find a roll bar for extra occupant protection.

Engine

Under the tilt nose hood of this 1978 Jeep CJ-7 lies an impressive 304ci AMC V8 engine. It features an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and intake, as well as a mandrel-bent exhaust. Cooling is taken care of thanks to an aftermarket radiator, and there’s power steering and power disc brakes as well. All four wheels are powered via a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, and QuadraTrac AWD with long range.

1986 Jeep CJ-7

VERIFIED SELLER
$26,500

This gray 1986 Jeep CJ-7 comes from the very last year of Jeep CJ production, a legacy that began in 1944. Willys-Overland knew that with World War II coming to a conclusion, their military Jeep sales would dry up significantly. So, they turned it into a tough and capable civilian off-roader, and the rest, as they say, is history. Produced through several iterations, the CJ finally bowed out in 1986, giving way to a nameplate that we all know and love; Wrangler. So, this 56,081-mile machine from Mount Gilead, Ohio is a piece of history and also includes a removable hardtop with the sale. Yes, one of the CJ and Wrangler’s party pieces is a removable hardtop that can be replaced with a variety of options, including full soft tops, bikini tops, or simply left topless. This machine comes with the 4.2-liter AMC straight six under the hood, paired with a 4-speed manual box and of course, four-wheel drive!
