1977 Jeep CJ

Description

For auction is a Red 1977 Jeep CJ7 with an AMC V8 304 motor matted to a 400 Automatic transmission. Original Quadratrac 4X4 Jeep with a clean and discreet 4X4 shifter on the driver side center mount and a gear selector in the glove box as is with all original Jeeps fitted with the Quadratrac. The Jeep is lifted, has dual side pipe exhausts and has 35 inch tires. Red fiberglass body tub and fiberglass fenders. No rust on the body or frame. The fiberglass body is mounted to the frame using a steel bracketing system welded to the frame for strength and stability but you can easily convert to standard poly body mounts if you prefer. Additionally, the frame has been reinforced with additional steel plating in certain area for strength by the previous owner as I am told it was used for off-roading. Beautiful looking Jeep as you can see in the photos. I have had this Jeep for a couple of years with lots of plans on fixing her up but, unfortunately, time and circumstances are preventing me so she is looking for a new home.
This CJ7 is a beauty but does need some work as it has just been sitting for some time and, after all, she is 44 years old.. I will try to be as detailed as possible about any issues I can see as the Jeep is being sold AS-IS and WHERE-IS. The Jeep originally had a straight six cylinder motor which was upgraded to the 304 V8 motor it currently has. It was driven regularly and passed a NYS safety inspection in 2020 but has sat idle during the pandemic and was not turned on until recently. The Edelbrock carburetor will probably need to be rebuilt or jets cleaned as the gas was old from sitting around causing it to run rough. the Jeep will need some brake work as the power booster does not seem to be working properly. I will also note that the tires will likely need replacing all around as they are showing signs of age. Lastly, I have recently noticed a battery drain when the Jeep is off but I have not had the time to look into the cause as of yet.
As you can see from all of the photos, this Jeep is in very nice condition both in an out and has plenty of potential! Please read and look at all the pictures in the listing carefully and feel free to ask any questions you like. I will try and respond to all questions promptly.
Good luck and happy bidding!
