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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
The Jeep CJ-7 represents one of the last truly analog chapters in Jeep’s storied off-road history, arriving before the Wrangler ushered in a more modern era. Produced from 1976 through 1986, the CJ-7 became one of the most recognizable civilian 4x4s ever built, blending rugged simplicity with removable-top freedom and genuine trail capability. This 1986 Jeep CJ-7, showing 158,355 miles, represents the final model year of the iconic CJ lineage, giving it added appeal among Jeep enthusiasts. Finished in a cheerful Sky Blue over a reupholstered tan leather cabin with a white hard top, this example combines vintage Jeep charm with thoughtful modern usability upgrades, making it a far friendlier classic to enjoy regularly than a bare-bones stock truck.
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!
Now here’s a Jeep CJ with a twist, and some punch too! This Hernando-based 1982 Jeep CJ-7 Restomod is up for grabs after a life of just over 97,000 miles. It’s received a custom show-level paint job, a gutsy IROC 350ci V8, a Tremec manual box and more. Coming from the fine Jeep CJ series, it’s the forerunner of today’s Wrangler, and indeed, you can see the visual similarities between the two vehicles. Originally conceived way back in 1948, Jeep’s CJ series served until 1986 when the Wrangler took over, and has always been considered a trailblazer in American off-roaders. This vehicle is no different, and up for grabs right now. It’s a formidable classic off-roader that’s been tastefully modified and upgraded to suit an active and outdoorsy lifestyle. If that sounds like your thing, you know whom to call.
