Description for Jeep CJ 1980

Jeep 4x4s are nearly just as much about looking chic as they are about being capable to handle any terrain. Not only can you do both in this 1980 Jeep CJ7 Laredo, but you also get plenty of cool vintage style thrown into the mix.
The Laredo was a premium package and this one instantly declares that kind of distinction with its two-tone copper stripe kit on the hood, fenders, sides, and wrapping around to the rear. But there's much more to this than just graphics. The creamy white paint and tan hardtop are a terrific color combination. It's not too nice that you'll be afraid to enjoy this Jeep, but it makes sure this is a 4x4 of distinction. Renegade fender flares add clearance for the oversized tires and also gives it a macho look. This Jeep also comes with a Superwinch X3 3001 in front and a StowMaster 5000 collapsible towing bar. In the rear are Carr steps and a full-size spare on a swing-away mount.
Step inside and there are clear indications that this Jeep has led a good life. The interior has been given the right investments with updated front bucket seats with wide headrests and nice bolstering. The rear seat has been recovered to match. The floor has brown carpeting that feels more finished inside than some other CJs, and it helps insulate from noise. So that makes for a nice combination with the full hardtop and doors in place. But the proper roll bar and upgraded rugged floor mats remind you that this one is ready to be out in nature, too. There's even a bikini top to keep the sunshine off your shoulders. And no matter how you enjoy this CJ, there are great any time features, like a cup holder center console, tilt steering column, Hurst shifter, and full gauge package with handy tach.
Under the hood is the 258 cubic-inch inline-six motor. This is a long established powerplant for Jeep that has proven its reliability and continues to have easy parts availability. It's a torquey and robust motor that also show signs of good care, right down to the newer alternator and Optima battery. It's a strong-runner, and the upgraded five-speed manual transmission gives you versatile control over the motor. The two-speed 4x4 transfer case, short wheelbase, and beefy axles at both ends are the kind of things that make these CJs off-road kings. But this one is great for everyday use, too, thanks to power steering and power brakes with discs up front.
Complete with owner's manual, this Jeep CJ7 Laredo has a premium feel and true Jeep ruggedness. That's a terrific package for those who want to do it all. Call now!
