Equipped with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case sending power to each of its wheels, this 1986 Jeep CJ-7 was reportedly used as a plow vehicle by a Caterpillar dealership in Michigan where it was registered up until 2019. It has since spent time in Nevada and Florida with a major restoration completed in 2023 at a cost of approximately $20k. This classic Jeep is now being offered for auction out of Florida with just over 17k miles showing on the odometer.
This CJ-7 has been refinished in black and features a matching removable bikini top, fender flares, removable doors, and a chrome front bumper. Other equipment includes a matching roll bar, dual mirrors, new OEM side steps, trailer hitch balls, a swing-out spare tire carrier, a spare tire cover, and 15” steel wheels dressed in new 31”x10.5” BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires. The seller indicates that the car was completely disassembled and stripped during the restoration before being sandblasted, primed, and painted in black. Additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, this Jeep features a pair of front bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl upholstery along with a matching rear bench seat and floor liners. Accessories include a three-spoke steering wheel, front three-point seatbelts, a passenger grab handle, a locking glovebox, a center console armrest, and an aftermarket sound system with Alpine speakers. All gauges and accessories are said to be fully functional.
This Jeep is equipped with a 2.5-liter inline-four engine that sends power to the rear or all four wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. A list of services and items replaced during the restoration is provided below:

@rusty thanks for the inquiry. We have tonnes of pictures. There is zero rust. ZERO. Happy to share any pics that you’d like. Note that it hasn’t been in michigan in a while so the rust would show faster in a humid climate. ZERO RUST!
No pics of the undercarriage? Would be very useful given the extensive history up in the Michigan rust belt. Thanks!
Welcome to the Auction! I hope that you enjoy exploring this vehicle as I have. It never went unnoticed on the road. I am always amazed how it always solicited such warm comments ever time that it was on the road.
