This Vehicle is an Original 1982 Jeep CJ7 LIMITED.
Vehicle listed is not a replica or built to appear a LIMITED. I documented the entire rebuild as I performed the work.
This vehicle was purchased in December of 2011. It was made known I was the third owner.
It has undergone an extensive restoration performed by myself. It has taken since January 2012 until just last month complete.

This Jeep had 177k miles on the odometer when purchased, The restoration of this vehicle placed a new Speedometer/odometer which shows actual miles SINCE the restoration.

This Jeep has been completely taken apart, sand blasted, primed, repainted and rebuilt.
Anti-seize grease on all applications and grade 8 hardware where high strength is required.
This Jeeps original color was Copper Brown Metallic, Nutmeg Hardtop and Nutmeg interior. It has the Golden Bronze Tint hardtop glass that is clean and clear. The hardtop has a Sunroof that opens and closes freely. The headlining is original and in very good shape. The dome light is OEM and shines bright. The hardtop has no damage or repairs made to it. The glass seals are in very good condition.
The Jeeps Power train is the Original 258 Straight Six, 4.2L engine that was fully taken down and the block was sent out to be rebuilt. It was honed and new pistons and rings were installed as well as all other components. New oil pump, rockers, valves etc... Pictures were taken.
the motor runs and idles perfectly at 750 RPM's at 12 degrees at TDC.
Torque Flite 999 Automatic Transmission was replaced with a very low 54k mile transmission. It is very clean and shifts well. This is bolted to the stock Dana 300 Transfer Case and stock rear AMC20. Dana 30 front axle is stock.
A Brand new Optima Red Top Battery is installed.
The Jeeps original Jack and lug wrench is mounted on the inner fender well, as you would expect.
The frame is original and the ID number recorded. The only repair to the frame were two body mount top plates and front shock absorber mounts were replaced with OEM parts. the frame was cleaned and double coated with POR15.
The axles were in good shape and very clean, I did replace all of the brake cylinders and components. The rear drums are in great shape and front disk brakes work great. Vehicle stops smoothly, and straight.
I rebuilt the leaf springs adding the special liner that was labeled as "Special improved ride package" that gave this CJ7 a smoother feel of suspension that I can feel when on the road.
Pictures of the body before painting shows this tub was in very good condition. Very few, but minor repairs were made to this tub. It has all new caulking on interior metal connections, primed and painted.
The doors were in remarkable condition when purchased.The door panels are original equipment as are the dash, dash pad, leather wrapped grab bar, sun visors, steering column, center console, front and rear seats, seat belts, seat mounts, A/C, clock, Tach, oil & amp gauges. The Stereo is an AMC AM/FM Cassette from another Jeep. The radio works great, but I did not get the cassette player to function. There were a few wires that I did not connect, maybe that is the reason. The speedometer is an aftermarket as the original was sold mistakenly in a parts lot. The dash pad has one small crack in the far left side about 1/4 inch. The nutmeg leather wrapped grab bar has one small piece of leather that was damaged, less than a 1/4 inch.
The seats I had reupholstered. They were leather, but all cracked and not presentable. I had the seats redone on the original frames, foam and mounts, two fronts and the rear seat. The roll bar was painted and has the original Nutmeg Leather wrap with really good color.
The TILT steering column I rebuilt by taking it down to each part, painted and rebuilt installing new guides, springs and bearings. This Tilt column is tight and no play in it. The interior paint was matched by Tower Paint in Wisconsin. I have the full line of AMC Jeep interior paint. Again, the entire vehicle was taken apart and cleaned, painted and reassembled.
The carpet I special ordered, a pre molded heavy duty carpet with the full sound deadening backing material added. It is beautiful and I had custom Floor mats embroidered with CJ7.
Each wheel was removed, tires taken off and completely sand blasted and repainted. Brand new Radial All Season Tires match all five wheels and have the Bright Trim Rings. The center caps are all original and have great shine to them.
The rear tire carrier is in the best condition I've seen for a CJ.
I have kept this Jeep as original as possible, however the odometer is not OEM, and I could not find the original Limited Badges anywhere.
The paint is really nice. It is not perfect but it does look terrific. It shines really nicely and shows great. Again, each part was painted separately before reassembled, so everything has paint all the way around unlike Factory Paint was done after the vehicles were assembled.
The two tone pin striping is hand painted and compliments the Jeeps color beautifully.
Decals as AMC installed at the factory are throughout the Jeep.
Factory installed Marchal Lights are mounted on the original Chrome Bumper with the OEM Bumper ends.
The rear bumper has the original Chrome Bumperettes and the stock rear tow bar.
The doors open and close like new, you don't have to fight to get them to open or close. The windows open and close freely and lock with new lock cylinders installed.
This Jeep has the interior lights that go on when the door opens. They work and shine bright with the OEM light domes as does the hardtop light.
The A/C is all connected and blows strong air. I just have yet to charge the system but I do have the kit to convert from R12 to 134A refrigerant. It is all connected and wired ready to be charged which I will do in the next week or so on a nice day.
The heat is good and all the cables work. The blower motor is new and the entire heater system was taken apart, cleaned and painted and reinstalled.
The center console is the original with the gasket and locking stock cylinder with the key.
The ashtray mounted on the dash is perfect and opens and closes as it was when factory installed.
So many features of this 1982 Jeep CJ7 Limited are as close to show room condition as brochures show.
I have the stock Air bonnet & Carter carburetor that come with the Jeep. It still has the yellow decal on it.
Please understand that a lot of work and time went into this project. I have seen Jeep CJ7's restored sell for equal value and this is a LIMITED in which only 200 were produced in 1982 and 1983 only.
I have the Showroom Brochures for this vehicle and glove box owners manual included.
I invite SERIOUS BUYERS to come look at the Jeep (by appointment) and see for yourself how remarkable it is! It makes you feel like you are back in the 80's.
Feel free to email me at dnehrings@gmail.com and leave your phone number if you want me to call you.
Thank you for looking.

Chrysler is recalling nearly 350,000 cars and SUVs to fix ignition switches that could unexpectedly shut off the engines. The recall covers 2008 Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee SUVs, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans, and Dodge Magnum wagons. All were built before May 12, 2008. Chrysler says the ignitions may not fully return to the "on" position after being started. The switches could move to "accessory" or "off." That could shut off the engine and knock out power-assisted steering and other features. Chrysler knows of one crash and no injuries from the problem. It's telling people to use the key alone in the ignition and confirm that switches have returned to "on" after starting their cars. Chrysler is investigating the cause. Customers will be notified when repairs are ready. Related Gallery The Trucks And SUVs Consumers Are Liking Most View 11 Photos

I got a text message from Editor-In-Chief Sharon Carty one afternoon proclaiming that her new favorite SUV is our long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee. And she's not alone. I'm not sure if anyone else on staff would go so far as to use the "favorite" descriptor, but after just over a month of honeymooning with our new long-termer, it's safe to say that the Jeep is quickly finding its way into the good graces of a number of Autoblog staffers.
There's good reason for all that praise, too. Thus far, the Jeep has proven itself to be incredibly competent and comfortable for daily life - it's functional, quiet, and packed with a host of amenities that make it easy to live with. It's been wholly trouble-free (with less than 4,000 miles on the clock as of this writing, it ought to be), but even nitpicks have been few and far between.

The long-awaited baby Jeep is getting closer to production, as evidenced by these spy photos. Previously, the only images of the so-called Jeepster saw it wearing a Fiat 500L body (see below), while this new batch of photos show hefty amounts of camouflage. How is that better? Well, it's very likely there's a production body hiding under all that cladding.
While picking out styling details is virtually impossible thanks to all the camo, as our spies point out, this gives us a very sound idea of the Jeepster's final size. It's small, although we'd argue that it's only slightly smaller than the current Jeep Patriot, based on the images of the newest Jeep sitting in front of an Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
As we reported previously, this little bambino will be built on a Fiat platform, but the styling should be uniquely Jeep - likely to include a somewhat vertical seven-slat grille and round headlights. We can expect to see a production Jeepster, if that ends up being the actual name (Latitude has been rumored, although as that's traditionally a trim level, we imagine there'd be some confusion), when it debuts at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
