Background Story of this 1981 Jeep CJ-7

Overview of 1981 Jeep CJ-7 For Sale by Owner

Here, you're looking at the first ever mass-produced four-wheel drive vehicle worldwide. The Jeep CJ was pioneered as a rugged military vehicle during World War II, so much so that it was the inspiration behind many iconic off-roaders we see today. However, the CJ was small and compact when it first came out, and it took 32 years before we finally saw a fully-fledged CJ-7. Overall, the Jeep CJ-7 is a classic SUV that is well-loved by both off-road enthusiasts and collectors alike, and it remains a popular choice for those who want a vehicle that can handle tough terrain and provide a unique driving experience.

Exterior and Interior

This 1981 Jeep CJ-7 inherits a distinctive exterior design that is instantly recognizable. It features a classic boxy shape with a flat front grille and round headlights. The CJ-7 also has a notably longer wheelbase than its predecessor, the CJ-5, which allows for more interior space. This stunning example wears a beautiful Deep Maroon Metallic exterior paint combined with a Tan top. The current owner reports that all parts on this CJ-7 are original, and it's not hard to believe, given the exquisite condition of the vehicle. The interior of the Jeep CJ-7 is simple yet functional, with a focus on durability and practicality. The interior layout is with easy-to-use controls and gauges that are designed for off-road use. While some might argue that this CJ-7 might be outdated in comparison to modern creature comforts, one must keep in mind that this vehicle was designed for a completely different purpose. It was designed to go places that most other vehicles wouldn't dare, and for that, its simple tan leather seats, classic Pioneer radio, and power steering are all it needs.

Engine

Powering this 1981 Jeep CJ-7 is a 258ci (4.2L) AMC in-line six-cylinder engine that has been paired with an automatic transmission. Reports suggest that the CJ-7 has completed 92,000 miles so far, which is not much for this icon, especially after its current owner claims that all maintenance and services have been done regularly.

1976 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$28,500
SOLD

When Willys-Overland created the Jeep back in 1944, they envisioned it to be a tough agricultural tool, not the off-road sensation that it is today. World War II was ending and the company knew that very soon, the military wouldn’t be ordering Jeeps like pizza anymore. They had to change tactics, and they pivoted towards the civilian market. CJ stands for Civilian Jeep in fact. The CJ series ran until 1986 when an even more famous name replaced it – Wrangler! Yes, this is where your Wrangler gets its heritage from. If you’re interested in adding to the family, or a fan of classic Jeeps, we have a nice 1976 Jeep CJ-7 for sale from Atlanta. It’s got just over 77,000 miles on it and comes with the Renegade decal package plus an aftermarket Kenwood head unit. Moreover, it’s got an automatic gearbox, making it ideal for those who can’t remember or never learned how to drive stick.

1985 Jeep CJ-7

PENDING SALE
$16,200
SOLD

The original Military Jeep by Willys-Overland morphed into the Jeep CJ series by 1944, and the Jeep brand as we know it was born. Produced until 1986, the CJ subsequently became the Wrangler, and you can definitely see the resemblance between the two models. Interestingly, the CJ was born out of a need to stay commercially relevant. With World War II coming to an end, Willys-Overland knew that the military would no longer need Jeeps in the massive numbers that they were consuming them during wartime. A military Jeep in a battlefield would have a lifespan of weeks or, at best, months – not years and decades. So, they came up with the CJ or Civilian Jeep, targeted primarily at the agricultural sector but in no time, other segments and enthusiastic off-roaders were snapping them up as well. The CJ went through many upgrades and iterations, with the CJ-7 ruling the Jeep roost between 1976 and 1986. Today, we’ve got a Kansas-based 1985 Jeep CJ-7 for sale. This vehicle has received a comprehensive makeover and packs under 5,000 miles since then. Highlights include a custom fiberglass body, a reupholstered interior, an aftermarket audio player and so much more.

1958 Jeep CJ-5

PENDING SALE
$26,999

Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. So, they switched gears and made the Jeep CJ, a tough, no-nonsense off-roader aimed at farmers and tradespersons who needed a simple vehicle with guts and four-wheel drive. This vehicle comes from the CJ-5 era which ran between 1954 and 1983. With its naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox and aftermarket exhaust system, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 has only done 167 miles since its thorough makeover.

PENDING SALE
$33,999

The Jeep Wrangler is one of just two vehicles available today that allow you to remove the doors and roof for the ultimate open-air experience. You can imagine the engineering that goes into enabling such a feat, and most manufacturers simply don’t bother. But Jeep can’t do that, and you know why? Because since the mid-1940s, they’ve been outfitting enterprising Americans with tough, go-anywhere, do-anything off-roaders. The Wrangler, in fact, can directly trace its lineage to the Jeep CJ series. Today’s 2019 Jeep Wrangler comes from the current JL series and packs a punchy Pentastar V6 under its rather sizable hood. That’s not all, with its automatic gearbox, Fox Racing steering stabilizer and 10,000-pound Warn winch, it’s ready to hit the trails with gusto. Oh, and it can also be your faithful, dependable and comfortable family cruiser too. If you want to get your hands on this sub 50,000-mile machine from Delta, Colorado, talk to us right now.

1978 Jeep CJ-5

PENDING SALE
$44,999

Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.
