May we present this glorious, red 1985 Jeep CJ-7 from Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, for your health and well-being. You might be wondering what’s the connection. Well, you see, every now and then, a digital detox and some fresh air is highly recommended for your health. And that’s where this plucky little off-roader steps into the fray. It’s perfect for taking that trip to your favorite place, or finding a favorite place away from the hustle and bustle of the city to lower your stress levels. After all, stress is a silent killer. This Jeep may have 210,000 miles on it, but it comes with a lovely and torquey AMC 258ci straight six under the hood, mated with a manual transmission that will help you rediscover the joy of driving. All that, wrapped in a stylish but compact package, with four-wheel drive and proper tires is what we’re offering today.
Exterior and Interior
The red bodywork of this 1985 Jeep CJ-7 is punctuated by some black canvas towards the rear of the vehicle, as well as along the top. Yes, this Jeep CJ, like all CJs, comes with a convertible persona. You can pop off the top and rear portion, plus remove the doors, and enjoy an open-air driving experience like no other. That’s why today’s Wrangler still offers a removable top and doors – it’s the direct descendant of the Jeep CJ! The vehicle wears 32-inch BF Goodrich tires on 15-inch rims, with Warn locking hubs up front. It’s got chrome mirrors, that iconic seven-bar grille and circular headlamp combo, and even a Smittybilt winch up front. The passenger cabin of this 1985 Jeep CJ-7 can seat four adults on gray cloth upholstered seats. It’s been tastefully uplifted with a modern Pioneer Mixtrax head unit that offers CD, USB and AUX connectivity choices. We also see some switches for the winch, as well as the front and rear air lockers. There’s a center console with cup holders for front and rear occupants, while a fire extinguisher is also present. But that’s it, really. No touchscreens or complex electronic systems to contend with here.
Engine
The 258ci (4.2-liter) straight six that propels this 1985 Jeep CJ-7 is a well-known AMC unit. On paper, it may underwhelm, with 98hp and 193lb-ft. But when you get going, you’ll find it to be more than ample for the rough stuff. A manual transmission and two-speed transfer case are present, allowing you to switch between high and low ranges when required.
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.
If a standard Wrangler Unlimited isn’t enough to stand out, this 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Willys 6x6 by SoFlo Customs certainly will.

Produced from 1981 through 1986, the Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler combined the rugged off-road capability of the CJ series with a longer wheelbase and expanded cargo capacity, creating one of the most versatile and collectible classic Jeeps ever built. This 1983 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler shows 84,079 miles and is finished in a timeless black-over-tan color combination. Equipped with Jeep’s dependable 4.2L inline-six engine, a 4-speed manual transmission, and a dual-range transfer case, this Scrambler offers the authentic open-air four-wheel-drive experience enthusiasts seek.

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer occupies a special place in automotive history as one of the original luxury SUVs, long before the segment became the global phenomenon it is today. By 1986, the Grand Wagoneer had already cemented itself as a uniquely American icon, blending genuine off-road capability with upscale appointments in a way few vehicles of its era could match. This particular example shows 69,271 miles and presents as a thoughtfully restored and mechanically upgraded classic that preserves the unmistakable charm of the original while substantially improving drivability and reliability. Finished in Garnet Metallic over a richly appointed burgundy leather cabin, this Grand Wagoneer benefits from a comprehensively upgraded 360ci V8 build featuring forged internals, upgraded induction, improved fuel delivery, and cooling enhancements. Prospective buyers should note that the Carfax report reflects a branded title designation, making transparent due diligence especially important, but for enthusiasts focused on the vehicle itself, this Jeep offers a compelling mix of vintage SUV character, substantial mechanical investment, and unmistakable classic American luxury.
The Volkswagen Type 2 is one of the most recognizable vehicles ever produced, symbolizing freedom, adventure, and a carefree lifestyle for generations of enthusiasts. By 1977, the Bay Window Transporter had evolved into a more refined and capable vehicle while retaining the unmistakable character that made it a cultural icon. Showing 149,097 miles, this 1977 Volkswagen Transporter stands out with its attractive Marino Yellow and Pastel White two-tone exterior, restored interior, and tasteful upgrades.

Nicknamed “Old-Hooker,” this 1962 Ford F-100 is far more than a vintage pickup—it’s a thoughtfully engineered restomod that blends authentic patina, handcrafted details, and proven performance upgrades into one unforgettable package. Originally from Georgia and showing approximately 63,667 miles, this truck retains its original color and weathered character while benefiting from extensive mechanical and chassis improvements. From its handcrafted flatbed constructed from reclaimed century-old lumber to its upgraded Windsor V8 and modern suspension, Old-Hooker embodies the spirit of traditional American hot rodding while remaining practical and highly usable. Included with the sale are additional induction components, performance parts, and even some vintage fishing gear that has accompanied the truck during show appearances, adding another layer of personality to this unique build.
The Chevrolet C10 is one of the most recognizable American pickups ever built, and the square-body generation has become a favorite among collectors, custom builders, and enthusiasts alike. This 1982 Chevrolet C10 Restomod blends the timeless styling of Chevrolet’s classic pickup with a host of modern upgrades designed to improve comfort, drivability, and reliability. Showing true mileage unknown and remaining with the same family since new, this truck benefits from a 5.3L V8 swap, electronic fuel injection, a 4L60E automatic transmission, and a carefully customized interior. With its eye-catching orange paint, lowered stance, and thoughtfully executed upgrades throughout, this C10 offers the classic looks buyers love with the conveniences expected from a modern cruiser.
