Somewhere between mean trail machine and cool boulevard cruiser lies this 1986 Jeep CJ7 Renegade. With bold paint, a new soft top, and overall rugged 4x4 prowess, this icon can truly do everything it was built for, and fit in anywhere. And it's hard to do that with any other vehicle for this price.The CJ7 is the quintessential Jeep, combining the classic upright grille, topless fun, and a rugged but friendly demeanor. The Renegade was the top-of-the-line and it looks the part, especially dressed in its factory-correct Orange Bronze. In fact, more than just the paint, this Jeep is a true standout by how stock it everything looks. The bumpers, hood latches, and the full body Renegade-specific striping give this an untouched and retro cool appearance. This one looks like it has been kept correctly, right down to the bright wheels with Jeep center caps. Speaking of wheels, the best part of a Jeep's jewelry is the swing-away hatch with full-size spare.The new black soft top and doors were a great investment, but we all really enjoy it when these Jeeps are open to the world. That's why we love the level of preservation/restoration inside. Nearly everything looks new, including the rugged black vinyl seating. The front buckets are comfortable on the trail, and when it's time to go out on the town, they combine with newer carpeting for a quite sharp package. This one has all the right features you could want, including an AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input for your iPod. You'll slip behind the grippy sports steering wheel, and the original gauge package is bright and clear against the exterior-matching panel - so you always know where you stand, even out on the trail.Under the hood is the original 258 cubic-inch inline-six motor. It's a long established powerplant for Jeep that has proven its reliability and continues to have easy parts availability. Torquey and robust, this is the engine you want pulling through daily traffic, or the worst slop Mother Nature can throw at you. The five-speed automatic transmission is great for everyday driving, and when the pavement ends, the Dana 300 transfer case and seriously beefy axles at both ends keep you moving with ease. Low range gives it rock-crawling stability, but thanks to the modern all-terrain tires, it can cruise easily at highway speeds, too. In fact, with its power steering and discs up front, this CJ7 is just as comfortable being a city slicker on the weekdays, as it is a country climber on the weekends.Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at an icon that has been painstakingly preserved and was given just the right upgrades to keep it a useful classic in the modern world. It's a total package Jeep that with this quality, won't stay here long at this price. Call now!
