1977 Jeep Cherokee Chief, Wagoneer, One Owner, Cj, Willys, 80,889 Orig Miles on 2040-cars

1977 Jeep Cherokee Chief, Rare two door wide track Chief. Purchased from the original owner with only 80,889 miles (open title still in his name) Originally from Pennsylvania, but moved to Phoenix in the early 80's. A cool old chief. Originally had a 258 six with a 4 spd. Now has a 1972 350 chevy with a 4bbl and Edelbrock intake. Edelbrock valve covers and air cleaner. All emissions equipment is present. There is a TH700r4 transmission with a B&M shifter. The motor has a build sheet and full file of receipts. Motor was built in 1994, has less than 10k miles The original owner converted the Jeep over and decided that 2wd was enough for what he needed. So there is NO transfer case. This is a easy conversion, adapters being available through www.novak-adapt.com and also www.advancedadapters.com.   Pick up a used Dana 20 or Dana 300 transfercase or even a chevy transfer case and your ready to go. Since it was a manual trans Jeep it has a center rear dana 44 differential with a Posi and  3:54 gears and original Dana 44 front with matching gears and locking hubs. She runs good, could use a tune up and a carb rebuild. With fresh gas and a new battery she fired right up. The torque converter is slow to release sometimes, but always does. I think it needs to be driven some or fluids changed. I have only put maybe 3 miles on it. I purchased this Chief, it had been sitting in outside storage since 1998. I got it running again and buffed out the red paint and painted the black area with reproduction Cherokee Chief stickers. There is a BRAND NEW full black carpet kit from BJ'S offroad still in the box. BRAND NEW BFG all terrains. The wheels have been sand blasted and painted white. Two restored center caps (one sitting in passenger seat). The door panels are in GREAT condition as are the rear panels and headliner.  The floors are 98% solid! Only one small hole on the passenger side next to aluminum entry guard. The dark areas was surface rust I painted with rust killer (navel jelly). (Look at the pics) the darker areas is wet from hosing it out. The grill is amazing as is front bumper. The rear has a dent in the middle and 2" receiver hitch and trailer brakes also. The handle for rear glass is also included. The body is bright red, (originally Russet Metallic Red), There was rust repair done on the rear quarters in the past and the rear flares are fiberglass replacements. The paint is chipped on passenger side and looks like somebody "egged" the drivers door. Couple small rust bubbles around front fender flare. Some more buffing and she would look amazing!

I know this is a lot of information. I want to be completely honest on the condition of this Jeep. I am selling this awesome Cherokee for someone else to complete. I am way too busy and it has just been sitting beside my house for a year. She needs a new home! She runs and drives and is a GREAT driver or classic hunting and fishing rig. The price is reflective of the condition, however this is a great Jeep and is worth every penny. I have a issue where I feel the need to save every jeep I see (more like a sickness). SO I saved it from baking in the sun at a storage facility. The frame and drivetrain are solid, the body is 90% and the interior with the carpet put down and seat upholstery would look great.

Any questions or more pics please contact me. I do restore Jeeps for a living, Not a dealer but a out of control hobbyist that just LOVES JEEPS! I do require a 250.00 non-refundable deposit within 48hrs of the agreed price. The remainder of the payment must be cash or certified bank check. I can set up a "temp" transfer account with Wells Fargo. I have done this many times and works great. The Jeep does not leave my possession until the money clears my account. As soon as I receive the money I will send you the open, notorized clear title. I will also deliver the Jeep to any Automotive Carrier in the Phoenix valley at NO CHARGE. If you are quoting shipping the zip is 85027. I have sold and shipped Jeeps all over the US and overseas. There is no warranty on this vehicle, I have done my best to describe it (probably over described). She is a GREAT and rare jeep that needs a new home and someone to finish it.  

Again Please call with questions.
