1979 CJ7

Thought I would post this beauty! So I bought this for me from a collector. 1979 1/2 Bordaux red CJ7. 90% original paint, was pretty stock minus replacement interior. Had a 304 and 3 speed. I know some think it’s sacrilege to modify them. But…. CJs are the funnest and most modified vehicles on the planet (in my mind). So I proceeded to build the “if I had had money in highschool or in the 80’s style jeep” I did what any good ole’ NC boy would have done back in the day! Stuffed a built 401 with obligatory side pipes! A Muncie 4 speed, 410 gears with trac-loc posi and 1 pc axles. Runck bumpers, 15x10 Indy Mags, 33’s, 8274 winch, KC lights and pinstripes! Done by Tony..... Yes! Modern touches are a YJ OME 2” lift and Bilstein shocks, FiTech fuel injection, retro radio. I purchased two original Levi’s interiors to put one together and a bestop super top round it out. I do have a OE whitco top… but I am torn on it. Would give me the look… but the super top is so nice.

I tell you what, I love driving this jeep! The built 401 will pull the drivers tire off the ground in 1st gear when you hard launch it. Drives great, makes all the right noises and just a pleasure to look at. I have a few “wheeling rigs” so this is my “show/street” jeep. I just am in love!
