FS: CJ7 in NC
Well, I knew it couldn't last. Two babies and one going into braces don't go
well with my CJ toy. Here's the Scoop: 78 CJ7 with the 258 I6, T-150 tranny, Clifford intake*, Edelbrock 4bbl*, 14" Edelbrock air cleaner housing*, 3" K&N air filter*, Hedman headers, dual exhaust*. 7" of combined lift, 3" custom body lift*, 4" suspension, Procomp shocks*, 35x12.50x15 Procomp Mudterrians(95% tread remains)*, lockrite lockers front and rear, 1 piece axles. Body is in good condition. Earlier this year I gutted interior. Stripped the paint and fiber glassed all the holes in the floorboards. Used a product similar to por-15. Then hurculined the entire inside of the tub(black) and installed diamond plate floor boards to make them even stronger. The exterior would be my next project, but hopefully I'll leave that for one of you. It is red... kinda. It's in ok shape just pretty faded. All the body mounts are in good shape with surface corrosion. The frame is in great shape with only minor surface corrosion. The engine is strong, but with the usual rear main seal leak. Everything with an asterisk was done this year. Includes an original soft top and 2 bikini tops. Over $8000 invested asking $4200. If anybody is interested repost to the group or send me an email. I'm on the North Carolina/Virginia border near the Norfolk area. |

Ah, you just really _want_ it. I've got no problem with that! :)
I've never owned a CJ V8 so I can't comment on that, but I've never been left wanting by my sixes.

Up to about 50 mph, the greater low end torque means no V8 is likely to stay with you. -- My governor can kick your governor's ass |
