Description
I am selling my 1976 CJ-7. I am the second owner. I purchased the jeep about 20 years ago from the original owner. They had just rebuilt the original 304 amc, V-8 motor. I used it as my primary vehicle for about 4 years. Since then it has been a back-up vehicle (probably 40k miles since rebuild). The th-400 (Chevy, heavy duty) 3 speed automatic transmission was rebuilt about 6 years ago. I have only put about 1000 miles on it since then, but there is a leak (probably seal, as it sits in my garage for periods of time). The carburetor was also rebuilt around that time.
Jeep has 7 KC lights, a lift, and larger tires with 90% life left. A custom moon roof cut into hardtop. Hardtop has some wear, but fully functional with good hinges. Seats were replaced by original owners (the family I bought it from) with mechanical Corvette Seats. Needs upholstery. I have replaced the front breaks and drums, but some rubbing, most likely caused by lose stability arm. Also, replaced the oil pan gasket and dipstick tube. There is an oil leak; replacement of some gaskets or seals most likely required. I replaced all electrical components (starter, coil, alternator, battery).
There is a clunking sound in the transfer case. My mechanic believes it is about a $200 part (Oil probably ran low, chain busted or tore teeth).
When you take off from stopped, transfer case clunks (clunk, clunk, clunk) until you you reach about 20 mph, then smooth drive.
The Jeep drives, runs well, was driven everyday until the transfer case issue a few months ago. Heat, Radio, headlights all work.
Passes smog. Rebuilt engine 40k ago. Rebuilt transmission 1000k ago.
This is a good Jeep, but needs a little TLC. I would recommend the buyer either know their way around a jeep, or have a few bucks to put into it. In either case, you will have a rare, classic CJ-7 with the V-8 motor, and automatic transmission. This was the top-end model of all Jeep cj-7/ cj-5 in 1976.
The jeep looks great when cleaned and polished, but has some chips in the paint. Also I would re-carpet it if I was going to keep it. Body and frame have no rust.
This Jeep has lived in Reno it's entire life! Desert NO Rust! Body, engine, transmission all the best your are going to find at this low price.
This Jeep needs some maintenance work, but mechanically (engine, transmission) is sound.
Note:!!!!! I have listed every imperfection I can think of. I'm not a professional seller, and I'm sure that you can find other listings on the "inter-web" that do not seem to have as many issues as my Jeep. But, I am not trying to sell a "bill of goods", just trying to let you know everything I can, so that when you get the Jeep, you will be happy and will have been fully informed.
Sold as-is.
Note, Pics: The topless pic, is from four years ago (it looks great with top off), I have four strips of diamond plate that go on the back quarter panels and bottom door jam when top and doors are off; really looks sharp!The rest of pics are from 12/18.
I will work will seller on helping to get it shipped, but buyer pays for shipping per standard.Any questions; please email me. I'll even send you clips of it running, or pics of any areas you wish to see.
