Used Car of the Day: 1979 Jeep CJ7

Jeep CJ7s have always struck me as a classic, but that could be a function of when I came of age. Regardless, if you feel the same way, you have a chance to score one for relatively cheap.

This CJ has a 4.2-liter inline-six, four-speed manual transmission, and 132K miles on the clock. The Florida-based seller is asking $12,500.

According to the seller, it runs well and is in good condition.

Take a look here if Jeeps are your thing. Personally, I'd say that this one, which is older than I am, is definitely a classic.

No this is not a daily driver, I drive it a couple times a week around town. Definitely not for blazing down the highways at 70 mph.
But these unlike the newer Jeeps can get wet and you don't have to worry about them.

Nrd515 This is all I could think of seeing this. I saw it in the theater with my dad about 59 years or so ago:https://www.popcorncinemashow.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Mr-Sardonicus-1961-01.jpg
Art Vandelay I have no illusions tha my Challenger was going to be a car I wanted to own 10 seconds out of warranty. Fun, sure. Fun in 8 years? Hard pass based on the 2 years I had it
ToolGuy Weren't some of the most powerful engines in the M4 Sherman air-cooled? (And supercharged.)
ToolGuy "I installed oil temp and cylinder head temp gauges on various vehicles I was driving, so I could monitor how the engine was doing. I switched from my normal 20W50 and dropped to 15W40 oil and put down thousands of miles. Within that time, I saw a noticeable decrease in oil temps and even cylinder head temps while driving in different situations."ToolGuy has great admiration for your use of the scientific method in conducting original research.
