Overview of 1985 Jeep CJ-7 For Sale by Owner

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.
