1980 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade

What’s special about this listing
This 1980 Jeep CJ-7 has been restored, and over $15,000 has been invested in upgrades to the engine, interior, and body.
With a tuned engine, fresh paint, and a new interior, this CJ-7 provides a pleasant driving experience. The troublesome ignition module has been replaced with a new distributor, making it easy to start and enjoyable to drive. It now handles the V8 power more efficiently than ever.
The upgrades include a rebuilt Edelbrock carburetor, a new mechanical fuel pump and hoses, distributor and cables, premium spark plugs, and an air filter.
I completely removed all rust and repainted the vehicle in its original color. Additionally, I replaced the front and tail lights, the windshield frame (which was beyond repair), and the mirrors, and applied a fresh bedliner and undercoating.
The interior features new front and rear seats, a new bikini top, a new center console, a marine-grade stereo system with an amplifier and speakers, and a new dashboard panel.
I also installed a new fuel tank and sending unit replaced the parking brake line, and serviced the rear drum brakes.
I purchased the Jeep with 40,000 miles on the odometer; the previous owner indicated those miles were accumulated since the engine was rebuilt. Since then, I have driven it approximately 2,500 miles.
