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.
In the metal, you’ll be surprised at how compact this 1986 Jeep CJ-7 actually is. In fact, the Jeep CJ series is known for its manageable dimensions and easy driving dynamics as a result of this. Its lovely green paint work, shiny bumpers and chromed side steps all cut a fine dash, as does its silver alloy wheels with proper off-road tires. There are no doors for that airy off-roading experience, but there is a partial convertible top for some weather protection. The interior of this 1986 Jeep CJ-7 features tan leather seats and appears to have been upgraded with an aftermarket steering wheel and a center console with cup holders. The vehicle also enjoys an aftermarket radio which is a great upgrade for those who love their music. This unit plays via newer speakers, installed behind the original speaker grilles in the dash.
Powering this 1986 Jeep CJ-7 is an AMC 258 in-line 6, we’re told. The engine is paired with a manual transmission and of course, four-wheel drive. So, this Jeep can definitely venture off-road and take on whatever you choose to throw at it. In fact, in most cases, the limiting factor will be the capabilities of its driver!
