This 1986 Jeep CJ-7 was reportedly used as a plow vehicle by a Caterpillar dealership in Michigan before it was relocated to Florida and acquired by the seller on BaT in May 2021. After being listed on BaT in April 2022, work is said to have involved rust repairs, a repaint in black, and the replacement of the tires, steering stabilizer, shock absorbers, ball joints, tie rod ends, axle shaft universal joints, heater core, and valve cover gasket. The Jeep is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-four linked with a four-speed manual transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and a limited-slip front differential and features a black soft top, removable doors, a roll bar, white 15″ steel wheels, three-point front seatbelts, a Bluetooth stereo, Alpine speakers, and a locking center console. This CJ-7 is offered with a clean Carfax report and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
Following the previous auction the body was disassembled, rust was repaired, and a repaint in black was carried out. Exterior details include a black soft top, removable doors, black wheel arch flares, a chrome front bumper, a roll bar, dual side mirrors, side steps, and tow balls. The seals for the windshield cowl and tailgate were changed under current ownership. The soft top windows are scratched and a tear is noted.
White 15″ steel wheels are mounted with 31×10.5″ BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires that were manufactured in 2022, and a covered spare is affixed to the swing-away rear tire carrier. The front axle is equipped with manually locking hubs and braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. Reported work since 2022 has included replacing the steering stabilizer, shock absorbers, ball joints, tie rod ends, axle shaft universal joints, and seals for the axles and wheel hubs.
The front bucket seats and rear bench are trimmed in black vinyl and the floor is covered in a textured black coating. Interior appointments include three-point front seatbelts, a Bluetooth stereo, an aftermarket amplifier, Alpine speakers, and a locking center console with cupholders. The seller notes that the heater core and defroster duct have been changed since the previous auction.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts an 85-mph speedometer with inset coolant temperature and fuel level readouts as well as gauges for voltage and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 17k miles, approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership.
The 2.5-liter inline-four was factory rated at 117 horsepower and 135 lb-ft of torque. The seller notes that service since 2022 has involved replacing the valve cover gasket and coolant reservoir, and the oil was changed in 2024.
Power is routed to all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and a limited-slip front differential. The transmission fluid has been changed since the previous auction.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage.
