I've got an opportunity to buy an '84 CJ7. Asking price is $2800. 125K
miles, 25K on the rebuilt 4.2L. Has a header and a relatively new rebuilt
Weber carb. Engine compartment looks pretty clean, but has a light layer of
oil. Lifted around 3" (guessing), running 32x11.50 BFG AT's (60% tread).
Single-piece rear axles. Newish Bestop high-back seats and a bolted in back
seat. Some small rust bubbles under a seemingly recent repaint (I'm
guessing 2-3 years). One small rust-through in the tub, near the rollbar
attachment on the passenger side. Frame appears free of serious rust
damage. Unknown brand CD player. Aftermarket console (not a Tuffy).
Bikini top and doors. Has bows for soft top, but no actual top. Cosmetics
are very good (might need a new steering wheel, since it's got a little
surface rust.) Tags are current for three more months.

Is that a reasonable price? I might be able to get it down to $2500.

Thanks for the advice!

Hal

 

Sounds like an excellent deal! Grab it up quick! (Or tell me where it is,
and I will buy it.)

I paid 4100 for mine which is almost the exact same as you outlined. The
only difference is No rust and the tires (same as this one) were brand new.
My seats were a little less than this one and I had the stock carter carb.
Sounds good to me.

'cept I'd pay the extra $1300 for one with no rust.
