The Jeep CJ-7 featured a longer wheelbase than the CJ-5 and lacked the noticeable curvature of the doors previously seen on the CJ-5. The other main difference to the CJ-5 was to the chassis which hitherto consisted of two parallel longitudinal main c-section rails. To help improve vehicle handling and stability the rear section of the chassis stepped out to allow the road springs and dampers to be mounted closer to the outside of the body. Other features included an optional molded hardtop, and steel doors. The CJ-7 was also available in Renegade and an upgraded Laredo model. Noticeable by their different body decals, the Laredo model featured a tachometer, clock, tow/recovery hooks, comfortable leather seats, steering wheel tilt, and a chrome package that included the bumpers, front grill, and mirrors. The CJ-7 continues to be used in the sport of mud racing, with either the stock body or a fiberglass replica. It is also a favorite for rock crawling.

This example is an Arizona car and has had a complete frame-off restoration. It features the Laredo Package, and equipped with the factory AMC 4.2 liter inline 6-cylinder engine. It is finished in white with correct decals and could possibly be the nicest one to exist.
