AutoHunter Spotlight: 350-Powered 1977 Jeep CJ-7

Featured on AutoHunter.com, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 1977 Jeep CJ-7. In 2021, it received fresh paint, an interior overhaul, and an upgraded powertrain. Power is provided by a 350ci V8 crate engine and processed by a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Features include a custom forward-tilting front clip, a Bestop soft top, 35-inch BFGoodrich tires, a six-inch lift, and Bilstein shocks. Finished in Alpine White over a gray vinyl interior, this CJ-7 comes with a clear title in the seller’s name.

As part of a series of updates completed in 2021, the body was refinished in Alpine White. It comes equipped with tubular chrome front and rear bumpers, a custom tilt-forward front clip, matte black fender flares, a gray Bestop removable soft top, and chrome nerf bars. More of the exterior is shown in a walk-around video provided by the seller.

A set of 15-inch American Racing wheels with 35″ x12.50″ BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires help this Jeep get down the road and over trails.

The refreshed cabin has gray vinyl seating as well as power steering, a stainless-steel dash fascia, a passenger-side grab-handle, a B&M shifter, a roll bar, newer carpeting, and all-weather floor mats.

Important vehicle information is displayed on a 90-mph speedometer, a column-mounted 8,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the coolant temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, and voltage. The odometer shows 5,904 miles, but the true mileage on this CJ is unknown.

The 5.7-liter small-block V8 crate engine was installed in 2021 along with the B&M three-speed automatic transmission. A dual-range transfer case sends engine power to all four wheels. The seller reports the fluids were changed, the spark plugs were replaced, and the timing was adjusted in June 2024.
