Jeep CJ 1980 Description
This is one of the cleanest and hottestCJ-7's in the Country! I bought this rare 1st year Laredo from the original owner, it had a little over 77K documented original miles on it before it underwent an extensive 20 month frame off rotisserie restoration.Hundreds ofpictures of the documented restoration will be provided to the new owner.
The 1980 "Laredo" package was a first year model for the CJ'sthat had variousoption upgradesfrom the base model CJ'sand Renegades. ThisLaredo boasts factory air (that blows ice cold), tilt wheel, factory tach, factory clock, factory flip forward driver seat anddual speakers
No expense was spared. Everything on this Jeep was either replaced, rebuilt or restored. The floors were replaced with OEM replacement panels and the rest of the Jeepis original sheet metal! The body was blocked to near perfection andsprayedin stunning satin white pearl that will melt your eyes in the sun and to finish off thecustom look itwas accented w/ black carbon fiber and orange custom badging. All new stainless steel hinges andhardware were used throughout.
The engine is the time tested 258 inline 6 that wasfreshenand resealed. The Tremec 4-speed was completely serviced and a new clutch was installed. The Dana 300 transfer case was also gone through and rebuilt were necessary. The front axle is a Dana 30 outfitted with a very capableTru-Trac locker and the rear is a Dana 44 with a rare factoryDana locker. The 373 gear ratio allows you to drive at highway speed all day and the ultra low first gear the Jeep will crawl over anything.
The interior is 100% brand new as well, every gauge is new. The Retro Sound looks like the original AM radio but has nearly 200 watts of power, is digital and MP-3 or other device ready.Theseats, carpet and roll bar padding are right out of the box. This CJ smells brand new!!!!!
We tastefully modified the Jeepby adding Olympicbumpers front and rear, a Smittybiltwinch and Hella "Blackout"off-road lights. The black Method 15x8Billit rims look great with BFG 33's wrapped around them. Lifted perfectly with a Skyjacker 3" spring lift and a Daystar 1 inch body lift the Jeep is very off-road capable and can handle up to 35" tires. The custom billit contrast cut rub rail gives the whole rig a really custom and unique look.
The Jeep comes with the original full steel doors, hardtop with rare andoriginal spring loaded rear window lifts and a tan bimini soft top for the summer months.
Don't miss out, this jeep has ZERO miles on it and is literally brand new and completely rebuilt/restored better than stock. You will be the envy of your neighborhood and yourJeep community when you pull up to the next event in this sick buggy!
The tan steel rims in some of the pictures are only shop rims, the Jeepwill be sold with the brand new Method Wheels and BFG 33" tires (pictured). The last picture shown is what the Jeep looked like before it underwent it's restoration. This was a solid Jeep to start and was CLEAN!!!!!
Please contact me through EBAY with questions or if you would like more pictures sent to you of the restoration process. The Jeep is located in southeastern Wisconsin and is for sale locally just a few miles south of Lake Geneva, WI. This auction will be cancelled if the Jeep is sold locally so don't wait to bid!
