1977 Jeep Cj7 Amc 304 V8 Full Restoration on 2040-cars

Up for sale is my 1977 Jeep CJ7 Renegade with a 304 V8 and a 4 speed transmission.

I spent the last five years restoring this vehicle from the ground up, taking it to the bare frame and bringing it back to its current beauty. The only parts I keep when I tore it down was the frame, the front and rear differentials, the transmission, and the transfer case, everything else is NEW! It has a Dana 30 front axle, a AMC 20 rear axle, a Borg Warner T-18A transmission with granny low, and a DANA 20 transfer case. It has a new body from Willy's Overland with the JEEP stamped into the sides and the tailgate, new stainless dash, new Best Top top with tinted rear windows, new fold and tumble rear seat with headrests, new front seats, new Tuffy console, well new everything! As I stated I have invested five years and a very large amount of money into this project so if it sells it will not sell cheap. I also upgraded the roll bar to the "Family Bar" which came from a 92-95 Wrangler and allows the rear passengers to have shoulder belts instead of the factory rear lap belts. It has true dual exhaust with dual catalytic convertors so if you have emissions testing in your area it will pass no problem.

The Process:

I started by taking this Jeep apart done to the absolute bare frame, I then sandblasted and painted the frame with four coats of Por-15 Chassis Black, I replaced all shocks, brake lines, brake parts, suspension and body bushings, fuel lines, fuel tank and internal parts, I installed all new steering parts to include a new steering box and shaft. I had the front and rear differentials rebuilt professionally, the transmission rebuilt professionally, and had a new ATK Power Torque engine installed by the local Jeep dealer. New radiator, hoses, belts, all ignition parts were as well replaced, the only original part left in the engine compartment is the wiring harness. Before installing the new body I sealed the cowl panel and used two coats of Herculiner (bed liner) and two coats of Por-15 Chassis Black on all body parts not painted red, this includes the entire underside of the body, the inner fender wells, the firewall, and the interior floorboards. I then installed the new body from Willy's Overland, with new fenders, tailgate, windshield frame, and hood, it was professionally painted by a local body shop. New custom made bumpers were powder coated and installed. A totally new interior was installed using Best Top Seats, front are reclining bucket seats with new brackets, the rear is a fold and tumble Best Top seat as well. All new seatbelts were installed, new carpet, and a Tuffy High Security Console were installed. For sound I went with a Kenwood HD Cd player, two Alpine dash speakers, and two Alpine 6 x9 speakers in Roll Bar boxes behind the rear seat, the cd player has a remote which is great to keep control of the tunes while driving a manual transmission. It has a new Best Top soft top with all new hardware and tinted rear windows. No expense was spared during the build of this vehicle, I am selling because I want to, not because I have to, the Jeep currently has a great life resting comfortably in my garage, since the build it has not been driven in anything but sunny weather.



The bad: the speedometer does not work accurately, cable is new, the head spins free, not sure what it is,

That is all I can think of, this vehicle is for sale AS IS, Where Is, I will provide a clean title, and a receipt book with all the receipts from the build, it is a 3 inch binder that is overflowing.
