1979 Jeep CJ7 Carolina BIGFOOT

Description

Can't decide between a big-block Chevy and a 4x4 off-road machine? Why not have them both with this very custom 1979 Jeep CJ 7? Yes that's right...a BIG BLOCK in a Jeep! And this one is even a rare Carolina Bigfoot edition!

The quality bright red paint job is just what you'd want on your off-roader. When it's this clean it shows off the exceptional condition of the classic Jeep body. When it goes off-road (and you better believe this one will!) the mud, grass, and other earth elements you pick up will vividly contrast against this red. You might often choose a car with a color because it doesn't show dirt, but Jeep people use mud and dirt as a badge of honor, and this one could wear it perfectly. Even without the bold proclamation of "Carolina Bigfoot" on the hood, you'd know this one was up for any task with the rubber flares over the giant tires, massive black brush guard up front, and tubular bumper out back. You're even ready to help get friends out of trouble with the Smittybilt XRC8 remote winch.

Jeep interiors are all about function, but this one goes one step further, and it was done right. During the custom build Rhino lining was added to the floor, which really reinforces the nice ability to hose out the interior. The same can be said for the new vinyl seats. The front buckets are comfortable on the trail, and when it's time to go out on the town, they clean up in a snap. You'll appreciate the functional items like the power steering, full instruments, and full custom roll cage setup, but there are also plenty of comfort options, too. They include the AM/FM/CD player, heat/defrost, and full convertible top & doors.

As we mentioned, the real treat in this custom Jeep is under the hood. Somehow they were able to shoehorn a freshly rebuilt 454 cubic-inch big-block Chevy V8 in the engine bay. It has even been upgraded with goodies like a Holley Double Pumper 750 CFM carburetor, and Edelbrock performance intake. We love to see these big motors in muscle cars because of their horsepower figures, but in a muscle Jeep like this one, it also will dominate with rock-crawling torque. Helping aid this off-road 4x4 dominator is a four-speed Borg-Warner T-18 transmission, and a two-speed transfer case. This connects to a Dana 30 front end and AMC20 rear axle. The lift kit also gives the suspension plenty travel when it really counts. This is all topped off with General Grabber tires that are engineered to find traction on any surface.

This Jeep has such a wicked growl that everyone on the trail will swear you brought along a muscle car. It has the extra power to go anywhere and the cool presence to be a standout everywhere. Finally, quality like this just does not last in our showroom. Call today!!
