Produced from 1976 to the 1986 model year, the CJ-7 numbers 379,299 examples of the breed. The Laredo we’ll talk about today is distinguished by retro decals, leather bucket seats, a bit of chrome, and a tilting steering wheel. Oh, and it only has 27,342 miles (44,003 kilometers) on the odometer.
The 4x4 survivor isn’t exactly cheap, though. $60,000 is a far cry from the original sticker price even if you adjust for inflation. By the way, Hagerty lists current values at $23k or thereabouts for concours vehicles.
Painted in Cinnamon Metallic, this blast from the past was produced when AMC was running the show. French automaker Renault sold everything under the American Motors Corporation umbrella to Chrysler one year before the Wrangler rolled out. Be that as it may, the AMC legacy soldiered on in the guise of four- and six-cylinder mills ranging from 2.5 to 4.2 liters.
Presented “in all-original paint and graphics,” the CJ-7 Laredo is rocking a six-pot engine with 98 horsepower (99 PS) and 193 pound-feet (261 Nm) of torque on deck. A five-speed manual tranny delivers the goodies to all four wheels, which are fitted with Goodyear Wrangler Radial rubber shoes.
“The nutmeg interior is in excellent condition with vibrant unfaded nutmeg color,” according to the seller, and the pictures appear to confirm the excellent condition of the vehicle. After spending most of its life in the American Southwest, chassis number 1JCCF87E9ET114532 shows no rust on the underside, no drilled holes, and is currently located in Tampa, Florida.
“Absolutely excellent mechanically with all-original emissions intact,” the vehicle is joined by original documentation such as the window sticker, manuals, a supplement, and dealer invoices. If the CJ-7 Laredo isn’t to your liking, there are plenty of Jeeps available off the lot for less than $60,000.
The JL Wrangler Rubicon, for example, kicks off from $39,555 for the Pentastar V6 with the six-speed manual transmission. As for the JT Gladiator, the High Altitude specification is available from $46,436 excluding freight.
