1976 Jeep CJ7 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no major repairs on my Jeep since buying it in 1980, only standard maintenance, hoses, belts, spark plugs, etc.
General comments?
My CJ7 had 63000 miles on it when I bought it for farm use. It has had a well serviced, but hard life and is still going strong at nearly 130000 miles. This vehicle seldom sees a paved road and has never had an engine or transmission overhaul, or even a clutch, while I've owned it anyway (although it is about due). It has a hard top and steel doors which I love to remove in the Summer. Can't be beat around the farm. New Jeeps look nice, but my advice is get a CJ7 and rebuild it.
