Price: - Item location: La Jolla, California, United States
Description:

1983 Jeep CJ CJ7

2nd owner of an original California Jeep. Have owned her since 2000. Have barely driven this jeep in years and with a new baby, she (the jeep) has to go. I have kept this jeep pretty much original from the outside, but under the hood is a 1999 4.0 fuel injected engine from a Cherokee, ARB air locks front and rear with onboard compressor, full roll cage, offroad seats and rock sliders. This jeep can pretty much take you anywhere. Runs beautifully and will be sad to see her go.
Clean title, California smogged, and just renewed CA registration

A/C compressor (unused) came with the new engine and is installed. Could be made to replace the small onboard compressor.
Always garagedProbably $20k invested over the last 17 years.
A few small issues:
- rear tailgate has a 1" hole from previous owner thinking this was a good place for an antenna. Since removed and rhino lined over inside
- Passenger side rear side panel has a few small dents
- Original paint, so a bit faded and could use some love
