This 1986 Jeep CJ-7 Sports Line-X Paint Job, V8 Engine With Aluminum Heads

Before the Wrangler rolled out in 1986, the Civilian Jeep series gave us the CJ-7 with a plethora of AMC engines. This example of the breed – a 1986 model – is a highly customized V8 “driven 3,200 miles per year and loved its entire life.”

Listed by Flemings Ultimate Garage with 961 miles since completion, the off-road warrior now sports aluminum heads and a heavy-duty upgrade for the automatic transmission. VIN 1JCCE87E6GT104188 also benefits from 15-inch wheels and General Grabber 35- by 12.50-inch rubber, complemented by Warn locking front hubs, power disc brakes all around, and a fast-ratio power steering system.

Painted in Line-X matte black both outside and in, the CJ-7 comes with a color-matching removable hardtop and removable doors. This finish can also be seen on the upgraded roll bar, Bush Wacker fender flares, and both of the bumpers.

Speaking of which, the Rugged Ridge HD steel bumper up front comes with a Ramsey Pro 8000 winch while the steel bumper at the rear boasts LED taillights for a more modern appearance. Rugged Ridge is responsible for the hood light bar and sport lights while the dual rear-locking door panels are from Tuffy Products.

Step into the driver’s seat, and the Corbeau HD bucket with blue four-point harnesses will give you an idea about this Jeep’s trailblazing capability. The locking center console is complemented by a restored dashboard with a 6,000-rpm tachometer and 85-mph speedometer as well as a three-spoke steering wheel.

Air condition that blows ice cold is on the menu as well, and Flemings Ultimate Garage also lists a Pioneer stereo with upgraded speakers. In addition to AM and FM radio, the head unit also knows what AUX IN and Bluetooth media streaming are. A header-back dual exhaust system rounds off the list of mods.

Including one year of free warranty, the selling vendor wants $23,990 for this tasteful restomod. For reference, the JL Wrangler Sport kicks off at $28,295 excluding destination charge and options for the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and manual.
