Holding true American off-roader DNA, Jeep is a company that needs no introduction, and neither does this 1983 Jeep CJ-7. Based on the military jeeps it produced, the CJ series was literally made as the civilian four-wheeler and held a lot of the military Jeeps' design elements, especially the front end. Jeep's military ruggedness remained part of the CJ-7 and has survived four decades and has undergone a few enhancements during its lifetime, including a replaced motor and redone underbody. With roughly 2,900 miles clocked on the vehicle since its swap, this Jeep continues to perform well and is ready for any challenge that may be put in its way.
Exterior and Interior
Straying away from the utilitarian-military colors, this Jeep comes in a turquoise exterior that helps it stand out from the crowd. Not that it needs to, with its design and inherent character instantly standing out from the regular commuter cars seen on the road. The current owner reports that the new paint was done around 2019-2020 and matches the color of the interior dashboard. A quick walkaround and you'll notice the AVM wheels wrapped in Irok Super Swamper tires, the Warn Winch, Fender flares, and a host of other enhancements that help accentuate the barebones utilitarian look and feel of this CJ-7's exterior. This particular vehicle comes only with the Bikini top, which matches well with the aesthetic usually desired in a Jeep and helps with the exterior transition smoothly into the interior, especially with the partial doors that this vehicle comes with. Climbing inside, you'll immediately notice the contrast set with the color-matched dashboard and black interior, which works well with blending this Jeep's exterior and interior. The seats are comfortable and plush, allowing you to settle in while enjoying the open breeze. There's no A/C, of course, but why would you need one when you have the open air blowing around you as you drive?
Engine
This Jeep enjoys new life breathed into it thanks to the 350ci crate V8 motor strapped to the front, along with an automatic transmission that was swapped along with the engine. Thanks to that, this CJ-7 has odes of power at its disposal, able to handle anything that you could throw at it while behind its aftermarket steering wheel.
Inspection
By 1944, World War II was coming to an end, and Willys-Overland, makers of the military Jeep knew that their bread-and-butter was going to run out. They started building prototypes for a civilian variant, which they christened CJ – or Civilian Jeep. They knew that the civilian variant would face a far tougher life than its wartime sibling. Unlike a wartime military Jeep that may live for months or even weeks, a civilian variant must lead a harsh life for years. It must be reliable, easy to maintain, and able to handle a beating. Suffice to say, Jeep knocked it out of the park with the CJ, produced from 1944 to 1986 with over 1.5 million made across several CJ series. Then, the CJ series was succeeded by what we know as the Wrangler today. That’s why this 1986 Jeep CJ-7 is not only a lovely classic American off-roader, but a piece of history. Available in Athens, Alabama, this iconic off-roader comes to you with just under 75,000 miles to its name.
