We purchased the Jeep in 2015:

We wanted a weekend/perfect day vehicle that would be road ready and driven without worry.This Jeep spent 6 months and over $7K getting “mechanically sound”.Work was done to the steering, gears, transmission, dash board gauges, fuel system, electrical system, signals, horn, seatbelts – the list goes on and we have all the paperwork for your review.

As part of this work, we had to replace the speedometer assembly due to a faulty fuel gauge.The odometer was also replaced as part of this unit and now reads approximately 250 miles.We know this mileage is NOT accurate – our estimate is 5900 miles after engine rebuild.

We added 5 new BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires and 5 new American Racing Baja AR172 wheels.

No accidents and since the restoration, this Jeep has always been garaged, had no off-road use, and we have a clear title in hand.

Note that there isa small tear on the side of the driver’s seat as pictured.

Subject to sale from other advertised listings.

We bought this Jeep to replace the 1981 CJ7 Renegade I met my wife in 30 years ago.We both love this Jeep and have such a great time in it, but we just don’t drive itas much aswe thought we would.
