My friend passed away from cancer. His widow asked me to sell his Jeep. They have a free and clear title. 5,100 miles on the Jeep with a brand new engine and odometer. My friend was an electrician/heating & a/c journeyman / technician. He bought this Jeep 6 months ago as he was fighting & battling cancer and going through chemotherapy. He bought it like most people to tinker with, continue restoring, improve and add value to a “project” that would keep his mind busy and off of his personal situation.
There is a folder of paperwork on the Jeep that is over an inch and a half thick (the size of a ream of paper). The folder consists of product information, manuals, detailed parts that are on the Jeep and receipts. They are a collection of valuable information that pertain to the Jeep put there and started by the original owner and continued on with my friend.

Kelly Blue Book only goes back 21 years to assess value. Instead for this vehicle, we used Hagerty Valuation Tools. It estimates that a 1979 Jeep CJ7 in good condition between $14,567-$20,567. Below are there specific ranges.
Fair condition $4,867-$11,333 (20% of Jeeps)
Good condition $14,567-$20,567 (50% of Jeeps)
Excellent condition $23,333-$28,400 (28%)
Concours condition $30,700-$35,300 (2% of Jeeps)
This Jeep is in Good condition+. It is priced to sell if you are interested. Don’t forget to add the (7) items of value to the pricing above if you are going to make an offer. Even at the lowest fair book condition the price of $4,867 + $8,950 = $13,817. Or take the next level good condition pricing of $14,567 + $8,950 = $23,514. Please base your offers according to that guideline. Maybe you can be the next owner of this 47 year old Jeep. If you want a Jeep that has been well taken care of by the previous owners - own this vehicle and join the labor of love and appreciation for it.
No dealers or brokers please. Would like to see this go to a good home/someone who wants to continue restoring and valuing this Jeep.
2nd owner. No accidents. Clean (but obviously some rust showing in spots on a 47 year old vehicle), clear title.
Hagerty Valuation also stated that only 118 vehicles like this were sold last year, so we are not looking to sell this within the first call or two or within the first week or two. This will need some time and take a specific buyer.
Please email or call for any questions, make arrangements to see it, drive it and buy it.
