Exterior
A fresh coat of Dark Cherry Red Crystal shines bright in two stage coverage of this little 4x4. The seven slot grille is painted to match and is fronted by a square, chrome bumper while other polished metal bits also contrast with the red. That includes the hood latches and hinges, headlight rings, cowl vent, window hinges and large side mirrors, rear bumper, and gas filler dress up plate. Nicely done ghost flames lick over the hood. There are glimpses of the polished headers underneath as well, and they lead to black side pipes that pick up on the black roll bar, fender flares, and the visible interior. The 15-inch American Racing wheels are great looking additions here and the bikini top is here and the soft top, doors, and extra set of wheels come with this CJ. The only imperfections we find is some deglazing of the wheels around the outer rim.
Interior
Black vinyl bucket seats are covered in cloth flaming 8 ball seat covers while a spare tire is mounted in the rhino coated back. Our consignor states that the rear seat will come with the vehicle. An APC steering wheel greets the driver and leads to a sparse but tidy and efficient dashboard with gauges and knobs on a painted metal panel. An AM/FM/CD radio is onboard and a shiny grab handle is provided to the passenger. The floor is rhino coated and covered in rubber weather mats and houses the Hurst handled shifter and skull topped range selector. A pair of speakers sit just in front of the shifters.
Drivetrain
Unlatching the hood reveals a super clean 350ci V8 with an Edelbrock intake and a 4-barrel carburetor between flame stamped and polished valve covers. A 4-speed manual transmission sends power to the AMC 20 axle in back and a Dana 30 in front, both with 3.54 gears. Disc brakes are found up front with drums in the back. Our consignor states intake, carb, master cylinder, slave and clutch cylinder, pressure plate, flywheel, rear brakes and drums, and wheel cylinder have all been replaced.
Undercarriage
Driver quality underneath with plenty of surface rust, oil drops and residue, and general patina throughout. The dual exhaust comes off the headers and enters into glasspack style mufflers which run down the side right before the pipe opens to the atmosphere. There are no catalytic converters on the Jeep. Leaf springs serve as suspension in front and rear of this CJ.
Drive-Ability
It's a Jeep thing. If you haven't driven one with the door off, put it on your bucket list because it's a barrel of laughs. The 350 blasts to life sounding not unlike some of our inventory muscle cars and we roll the 31 inch knobby tires onto the blacktop for a function test. There's plenty of power on tap here and this surefooted red CJ gains speed with each shift, tracks straight, and the brakes function as they should. All other functions such as lights, radio, signals, work as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
As Jeep puts it, "Jeep wrote the book on 4 wheel drive and the CJ's were there when the book came out. For sheer driving fun and unparalleled off road performance, CJ is the way to go.". We couldn't agree more, and if your occasional off road treks are mixed with more common parking lot ventures, so be it! Endlessly fun and versatile, this V8 powered CJ7 takes the fun factor up a few notches, and looks good doing it!
