Original Paint Rust Free Arizona 1986 Jeep Cj7 Laredo on 2040-cars

Original paint rust free Arizona 1986 Jeep CJ7

VIN: 1JCCF87E0GT010658

1986 Jeep CJ7 with a 4.2 liter engine and a 5 speed transmission.  The optional equipment on the Jeep are:  Air conditioning, Laredo package.  This Jeep was sold new in Palmdale California.  It spent until 2004 in California.  The last 10 years in Arizona.  The dry climate preserved the body.  There is no evidence of rust or body damage.  The CARFAX indicates there was an accident where an airbag deployed.  There is no airbag, and I find no evidence of body work or paint.  The truck has been sitting in a barn for over two years.  It could not pass emissions in California or Arizona.  The title is clean.  If you have ever read any of my vehicle adds you will know that I am brutally honest with my descriptions.  I do not flip cars for a living I have a full time business I am not an expert on Jeeps, but I am always happy to speak to someone if they have question. There are links below to a video of the Jeep driving, a walk around, and the engine running.  Also there is a link to over 100 pictures where I show the good bad and the ugly.  Please feel free to call me at 602-908-9267 with any questions.

Body/Tub- The tub of the jeep has no evidence of rust or body work. .  All of the original Sebring Red paint appears to be original.  The clear coat is almost totally gone on the hood and front fenders.  The stickers are very faded with small chips and scratches.  The passenger front fender has slight wrinkling on the top which is hard to see, and the camera would not pick it up.  There are small dents and bruises on the truck.  The interior of the tub is straight with scuff marks, but most of the original paint still shines.  The bottom of the tub is very clean.  Still shows a very thin layer of Sebring red over gray primer.  I belie all of the paint under the truck to be original.  Again no evidence of rust at all.  There is small amounts of undercoating on the tub, but it also looks original.

Interior-The cloth front seats and the back bench do not match.  The cloth is well used, but complete.  The back seat is in good shape.  All of the gauges work.  The radio has been relocated to Masterrac box in between the seats.  It works well with speakers in the dash and in the Masterrac boxes mounted on the rear fenders.  I have some of the keys for the boxes, but not all of them. Caret in the rear of the Jeep only.  Carpet is old and faded.  The under dash A/C has been removed.  The gauge in the radio slot is for the air pump system.  The A/C compressor is now used as a compressor with a small tank under the hood.  I tried to get it to work, but it appears to be non-operational.    Dash is clean with no cracks. The gauges in the dash work.  I’m not sure they are accurate but they operate.  The plastic bezel around the gauges is cracked.  The wiring under the dash is a bit of a spaghetti mess. 

Engine/Transmission/ Drive Train- the 4.2 liter engine appears to be completely original.  It cleaned up well, but it is in desperate need of a tune up.  My guess is a major tune up will get the Jeep close to passing emissions, but the catalytic converter is more than likely in need of replacement.  There is a small coolant leak coming from the upper radiator hose connection.  The Jeep ran hot the day I drove it to take pictures.  It was 109 degrees with 50% humidity so I was running hot as well.  In the pictures you can see the air pump system.  The nozzle is in the front grill.  The transmission shifts OK.  The clutch engages and disengages OK.  A little chatter from what I think is the throughout baring.  Four wheel drive engages.  4 High and 4 low appear to work as they are supposed to.  Please look at the link below to hear the engine running.  The locking hubs appear to work fine.

Chassis-We cleaned the bottom of the truck off  and painted the frame so it would not rust.  The chassis appears to be straight and original.  The lift is a 6” Superlift.  The shocks are Ranch RS 5000’s.  I do not know how old they are, but I suspect they have been on the truck a long time.  The tires are Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ’s.  They have no tread ware, but ate date coded 2007.  The aluminum wheels are scuffed and the center caps are bent up. 

I drove the truck about 20 miles.  It wanders and tracks poorly, but it runs good.   Acceleration is strong and shifts well. I am happy to let someone look at it if you want to inspect.  Please call me at 602-908-9267 if you have questions or want to take a look.  The type of cars I sell are Arizona rust free in nature.  This normally results in a great response and many times the auction ending early.  The Jeep is for sale locally so the auction could end if I receive a solid offer.
