1982 Jeep CJ Laredo

You are looking at a very special Jeep CJ7
Two Owner Vehicle - Original Owner owned for 31 years!
51. 83 Original Miles
Never used for off road adventures. Always stored indoors. This is a CLEAN JEEP!!
I am the second owner of this Jeep.   It took me five years to convince the original owner to sell it to me. I bought it from him in 2013. I have enjoyed it since and I am reluctantly selling it to raise money for another project.

The original owner purchased it new from John Irish Jeep in San Rafael. Ca on December 19th 1981. (See attached photo of original delivery sheet)

This Jeep was never used for off road adventures.   It spent part of its life being towed behind an RV and used as a runabout.   Other than that it was used as a second car driven only locally in Marin and Sonoma County. Ca.   All in all ONLY 51. 83 ORIGINAL MILES!! It has always been stored inside in a garage or aircraft hangar.

One important detail you need to know is how extremely fastidious the original owner was in taking care of this Jeep. I am pretty picky too. but this guy is over the top and you can see that when you look at this Jeep. He took exquisite care of it and attended to all maintenance during his ownership. as have I. He also kept great files on the Jeep. I have all invoices that he included when I bought it. I also have invoices for work done during my ownership. He also kept all original 1982 Jeep brochures and parts catalog. (see photo)

EXTERIOR
The original owner repainted the exterior. which still looks great. He noticed rust on one door hinge around 1985 and realized it wasn't primed properly so he decided to address that issue and repaint the exterior. It was painted in the original Jamaica Beige and has brown pin stripes. The original paint was not completely stripped before repaint but according to the orig owner original decals were removed and paint was well scuffed and primed/prepped etc.   There are few very small chips here and there in the new paint where you can see under to the original paint. Hard top is in good condition with some cosmetic wear and tear. Original chrome wheels are wrapped in 31 10x50 BF Goodrich All-Terrains - Tires were installed July 2013. I had new front and rear shocks installed July 2013.
The chrome on all wheels has faded and has a milky patina.  Smitty Built rear and side bumpers.
There is a rear tow hitch insert on the rear bumper.  
Front bumper also has a hitch insert.   I have the original chrome rear bumpers.  
The body is straight and was never in an accident.  
The frame appears to be in good condition with no visible corrosion. There is the usual surface rust here and there but nothing serious that I can see.

INTERIOR
Overall the interior is in excellent condition.  
There is some surface rust on the interior of the floor pan driver side in one channel and in two channels of the passenger side. It appears to be on the surface and I don't see evidence of major corrosion going through floor pans.
The dash panel still has the original paint and trim decals. including the original "Laredo" badge.
The upper padded dash is in great condition.
Door panels. front bucket seats and rear seat are Nutmeg brown.
The original front bucket seats had typical wear and tear on the top material when I bought it. so I had the Franzini Brothers (well known auto upholstery shop in Terra Linda. Ca) recover the seats matching the top material as closely as possible using new material. They re-used the original seat frame. vinyl backing. tan carpet sides and padding.
The rear seat is like new as it was out of the vehicle in storage. It is installed now. Original owner installed new black carpeting kit.
The original center console was replaced years ago.   I just installed a new black "Best top" style locking console.
ENGINE/MECHANICAL
The original 258ci Inline Six Cylinder engine seems to be in good condition and operates well.  This Jeep runs and drives very well.
Steering is tight and the vehicle tracks straight and true.
Transmission is great. Very easy and smooth shifting.
All engine hoses were replaced by original owner in 2012 (see pic).
New battery installed Jan 10th 2017.
4x4 system works wellBrakes were serviced in 2013Tune-up and heater core replacement on 3/2/17Just Passed California Smog 3/1/17Original Speedometer failed and was replaced by the original owner with a new one at 13. 00K miles in 1998. I did some digging in the invoices and found two from 2006 that showed the original odometer mileage of 13. 00 added to the new odometer mileage of 7067 and 7070.   If you look in the vehicle report on the listing you will see two dates reported. 1/05/2006 for 7007 miles and 1/19/2006 for 7046. for a grand total of 51. 83 original miles. Mileage displayed on odometer is 37. 87. I will be continuing to drive the Jeep locally so mileage will change.
