| 1980 Jeep CJ7 |
| 1980 Jeep CJ7 The Expediciones De Las Americas is the most badass road trip you've never heard of. A couple of decades after starting the Jamboree, Mark A. Smith led an expedition of Jeeps on the longest off-road trip in history, trekking 21,000 miles over some of the world's most inhospitable terrain, from the southernmost tip of Chile to the northern reaches of Alaska in 1979. In the 4x4's first public outing, it was driven up the steps of the U.S. Capitol. When asked what it was, the driver replied simply, "It's a jeep". Two years later, Willys-Overland filed a trademark application. For consignment, a 1980 CJ7, showing 47,355 miles but actual miles are unknown. This one has been through some restoration and includes new items such as the soft top, fender flares, tub, and exhaust. If you're ready to get your Jeep thing on, check out this well sorted 1980. Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area.* Exterior Resprayed in Dark Red Metallic, this little 4x4 is complemented with black features that include the soft cab surround, the fender flares, bumpers, and the rhino treated step bars and diamond steel rear quarter panels. These quarter panels give our Jeep an extra rugged look and the diamond plated front bumper plate also toughens up this Civilian Jeep just a touch. 15-inch wheels are wrapped with 31x10.50R15LT knobby mud tires, fitting nicely behind those fender flares and putting the CJ up for some nice ground clearance. The paint, vinyl top and doors, and panel gaps are in great shape and we could not find any glaring exterior flaws. Interior The canvas inside surface of the doors is white and shows some water staining, but hey, it's a Jeep, i's gonna get wet! Meanwhile, we note tall Beston bucket seats in black vinyl with smooth bolsters and horizontal tuck and roll inserts. In the back, a small fold down bench is ready for the family and it's in good shape as well. Texture coated black paint floods the floors and just forward of the driver's bucket on the side of the hump is the transfer case range lever, and tire tread rubber mats add a place where mud is free to roam. Upfront, a new instrument cluster resides in a polished dash plate and there's a gap where a radio would be. You don't get air either, but there are vent controls and defrost available. Cupholders are present on the center console where a padded armrest will keep your right hand within reach of the shifter and its carbon fiber patterned handle while your left grips the simple steering wheel, currently wrapped in a soft cover. Drivetrain A clean and stock appearing 2.5 liter four cylinder engine is under the latched hood and is rated at 87 horsepower. A 2-barrel carburetor provides the petrol and a BW/Ford SR4 4-speed manual transmission works with a Dana 20 transfer case to deliver power to all four wheels. Differential configuration includes a Dana 30 up front and an AMC 20 axle out back, both with 3.54 gears. Power brakes will make your treks more enjoyable and are front discs and rear drums. Undercarriage We would classify this a driver quality with some road dirt, oil present on the pan and transmission, some seepage at the pinion seal, but beyond that, nothing of negative note. The single exhaust flows through a stock style muffler and the tailpipe comes to an end before the rear bumper. There is no catalytic converter present. The rest of the underside in uniformly flat black and suspension consists of leaf springs front and rear. Drive-Ability Upright and on high, CJ's evoke instant smiles and are just plain fun, even when sitting still. The four banger started right up and into first gear we went as we took this off roader on road and the flat terrain of our test loop. The steering column and shaft are new according to our consignor, so all's tight there, but the shifter seems a bit sloppy. Beyond that, all functional items work as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. Every stable should have a 4x4, especially if you live in a temperate zone, and this CJ fits the bill! Oh sure, you could daily drive this, but you could also save it for Jeep events and off road adventures. It's a capable little ride that's been well sorted and the cherry on top is that it's a darn good looking rig! Let the good times roll and get your Jeep thing on!
