When you think of Jeep an image of the great American brand comes to mind. Conquering everything in its path and happily chugging along a good 50 years after they were made. The design of the original Jeep was built out of the need to create a civilian version of the rugged World War II military Jeep and in 1944 the folks over at Willys-Overland came up with the first Jeep CJ short for Civilian Jeep. The Jeep brand was so influential and important in automotive history that people to this day refer to any off-roader or SUV as a jeep and is now regarded as one of the most successful utility vehicles ever made. During its 42 year production run many different models were to come, each adapted to their times and giving customers a rugged and go-anywhere vehicle that they can truly depend on. Here’s a 1983 Jeep CJ7 for sale. Located in Colorado this one owner is reported to be a garage kept example but is also no garage queen with a reported 185,000 miles on the clock, which have been enjoyed the way they should be, going places. What’s even better? All maintenance records are included in the sale.

Exterior and Interior

The Jeep brand had many owners during its production run, but the CJ soldiered on. The rugged yet cool look on this 1983 Jeep CJ7 is complemented by an Olympic white exterior. This jeep sits on a set of black steel wheels which really compliments its off-road personality well. The exterior is in great condition with the hardtop being replaced with a soft top so open-top driving is just a matter of a few steps. Off-roading is made easier with the Warn winch in the front of the jeep and in case you need more storage space there is a custom rack attached to the back door as well. Born out of the need to get people to all corners of the Earth, the CJ never really had a luxury interior, instead of providing what was mostly required. This 1983 Jeep CJ7 comes equipped with a black interior. At the center of the interior is a set of black sporty seats which has aftermarket vinyl seat inserts that help hold you in place. The seats also really match the black interior carpeting kit in place. The dashboard is original with the original steering wheel in place. An aftermarket JVC sound system is in place ensuring some good old rock and roll tunes are done justice.

Engine

The Jeep CJ7 was available with 6 engine trims. Each one is geared to ensure you get where you want to without any trouble or hassle with a whole lot of power and torque. This 1983 Jeep CJ7 is powered by the AMC derived 258ci (4.2L) inline 6 engine ensuring smooth delivery of torque and power. Power is sent to all 4 wheels through a manual transmission making off-road venturing more fun. Stopping power is ensured thanks to disc brakes in place and power steering ensuring a pleasant driving experience. There is also an extra duty suspension in place with custom rear springs for better off-road capability.
