1985 Jeep CJ Laredo Description

Super Nice Restored 1985 CJ7 Laredo V8 Conversion.
Beautiful like new rust free restored Jeep Laredo. Done from top to bottom with no expense spared. Nearly everything on it was restored and/or upgraded. 3000 miles on the new Chevy V8 383 Stroker Conversion with new GM Auto w/Overdrive transmission. It's never been driven off road since being restored and is garage kept. This is a near mint turn key vehicle with a lot of performance.
Drive train is a Chevy 383 Stroker Engine with Edlebrock Model 6037 RPM Performer Aluminum Heads and a RPM Performer Intake. It has a Holly Carb. w/ electric choke, Holly Fuel Pump, MSD Blaster Ignition, Full Serpentine Belt Drive System. New B Cool Radiator and Fan. Exhaust headers and full dual exhaust. New Wiring, New Power Steering with upgraded Box and stronger Steering supports. Easy to steer and turn. Front Disc Brakes, Power Brakes in rear. All this was done at the time of restoration except for the rear power brakes.The Jeep stops great and has a ton of power. There's no comparison to a stock Jeep with a 4.2 or 304 engine. In my opinion the V8 conversion gives this Jeep the fun factor.
Modern GM Auto Transmission 4160e. This is GM's upgraded version of the older 700R4. It has great acceleration like a regular car. There's No so called low granny gear like the original Jeeps had. The running gear options are 4x4 Low, 4x4 High, and a 2 Wheel Drive option as well. The front wheels have lockouts for either 2 or 4 wheel drive - by turning the knob on rim.

Lifted approx. 3 - 4 incheswith a spring over axle kit, shocks and new body bushings. Clean underneath with No rust in the cab, or anywhere - it's like buying it new, only better. Has additional welded and bolted cross member support protecting the driveshaft and a custom four link support bracket to the real axle. New Bumpers - rear with tow hitch. New headlights. Cool fog horn on toggle switch.
