This vehicle came from New Jersey and has 74,650 original miles and was used in the summers at Ocean View Camp.

The trans shifts good and fluid is very clean.

Update: Based upon the options this Jeep has namely the steering wheel with Levi's Package, this Jeep is a Renegade Levi's Jeep CJ-7. The full steel doors with roll up windows are the original color Loden Green. The tailgate does not open and has been welded to the tub. The original carburetor Carter YFA 1-Barrel Carb will come with the Jeep. When I purchased the Jeep, it came with a Holley 1-Barrel that was also used with AMC 232 and 258 Straight 6 motors. The Holley carb is a much better carb than the Carter which were never good carbs from that time. The soft top is in good shape and is made from Bestop and the side windows and rear windows are included. I can provide additional pictures upon request. Please remember the vehicle is a 1978 and is 38 years old. Vehicle is sold as-is. Thank you.
