Location: Clearwater, FL

Why It’s Curated: This 1983 Jeep CJ-7 for sale in Clearwater, Florida has a low mile professionally rebuilt AMC Inline 6 cylinder engine (<180 miles on it), and shows clean in its brilliant blue paint, and fresh Mickey Thompson wheels and 31” tires. The engine was rebuilt in December 2022 and comes with a Weber carb, Performance Distributors DUI distributor, aluminum radiator, aftermarket fiberglass wrapped headers, and a Magnaflow high flow catalytic converter.
