This 1985 Jeep CJ-7 Laredo spent time in Texas with two owners before being acquired by the seller in 2016. The vehicle was repainted in white under current ownership, and brown Laredo stripes were reapplied. Power is supplied by a 258ci inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and a limited-slip front differential. A 2″ lift and 32″ tires have been installed. Other equipment includes a removable convertible top, a removable hardtop, removable doors, a roll bar, Marchal driving lights, side steps, a receiver hitch, power-assisted brakes, and polished 15″ steel wheels as well as Honey vinyl upholstery and a Kenwood stereo. This CJ-7 is now offered with an accident-free Carfax report, a bikini-style top, and a Texas title in the seller’s name.

The truck was repainted in Olympic White in 2016 and multi-tone brown Laredo decals were reapplied, according to the seller. A removable tan ragtop is installed on the vehicle, and other exterior equipment includes black wheel-arch flares, dual side mirrors, side steps, a receiver hitch, and a roll bar. The seller notes blemishes in the paint.

Sitting ahead of a chrome grille, the chrome front bumper anchors Marchal driving lights. The hood latches and the rear bumperettes also are chrome.

Polished 15″ steel wheels are mounted with 32×11.50″ BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tires, and a matching spare is affixed to a swing-away carrier that is teamed with the dropdown tailgate. Braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The Jeep has been lifted 2″.

The cab features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in Honey Celtic vinyl. A Kenwood KMR-M318BT stereo fitted in the dash is wired to aftermarket speakers. Other interior appointments include a locking glovebox, a passenger-side grab bar, a heater, and front and rear seatbelts. Tears in the upholstery are pictured in the gallery below. The seller notes that the air-conditioning system is out of refrigerant, and its status is unknown. The seller also points out that the inside of the body tub was not repainted during the recent work.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts an 85-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, voltage, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 87k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership. The fuel gauge does not work, and the knob to adjust the time on the clock is missing.

The 258ci inline-six was factory rated at 102 horsepower and 204 lb-ft of torque. The battery and the spark plugs have been replaced under current ownership, and the fluids have been changed.

Power is routed to all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and a limited-slip differential.

The removable hardtop is shown above. The accompanying bikini-style soft top is depicted in the gallery.

The removable doors were repainted along with the body and are shown above.
The Carfax report is free of accidents and other damage. The report contains a note tied to September 2005 that the “vehicle was registered in a county declared a flood disaster area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.”
The Texas title lists “Exempt” under the Odometer Reading section.
