1981 Jeep CJ7

Highlights

In 1971, American Motors Coporation (AMC) begin offering the 304 engine in early Jeep CJ5s (CJ7s had this option beginning in 1976, which was the first year of CJ7 production) and continued this offering up until 1981, which was the last year American Motors Corporation (AMC) offered the 304 as an engine option.  CJ5s and CJ7s equipped with the factory AMC 304 motor are often referred to as "H-code Jeeps."  This term refers to the letter "H" in the VIN (4th letter of the VIN number denotes factory engine type).  With 1981 being the last year of the H-code offering, finding one like this example is very few and far between.  AMC historians believe there were approximately 200-300 factory H-code 1981 Jeep CJs (optioned for the CJ5 and CJ7, but never the CJ8 Scrambler), with just a fraction still surviving to this day.  The 304 motor provides abundant power to the T176 4-speed manual shift transmission and dual-range Dana 300 transfer case.  Aside from its appealing aesthetics, the Seller claims this vehicle runs excellent with speeds of 70 mph easily obtainable without issue. - Howell Throttle Body Injection (TBI) Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) - Factory Laredo trim package (included a chrome grill overlay, instrument cluster overlay, rocker panels, leather-wrapped steering wheel and grab bar, and vinyl purse stripe high-back seats) - New nutmeg carpet kit - Refurbished leather seats with OEM style purse stripes - Period correct AM/FM/cassette radio - (5) New BF Goodrich All-terrain KO2 tires 32x11.5R15 - Reseal and repaint of engine - New nutmeg soft top - Professional exterior restoration performed by Austin Jeeps
