1976 Jeep Cherokee Chief S Unrestored 37,521 1 Owner Miles! - $25500 (OBO Wilmington, NC)
1976 Jeep Cherokee Chief S Unrestored 37,521 1 Owner Miles!
As most know, the remaining Cherokee Chief S models out there are far and few between but, when you couple that with the fact that this example is unrestored, in exceptional conditions (inside, outside and mechanically), one owner and with less than 38k original miles it may very well one of a kind (considering color and the manual transmission).
For options, gearing and such please refer the window sticker label pictured. I have many additional pictures and can take HD video upon request.
As stated she's equipped with the 4 speed manual transmission and the V8 360 with the 2 barrel carburetor. I just completed an 800+ mile trip (bringing it to Wilmington, NC) and since I've added another 500 or so, to the odometer as she's currently driven daily, always performing flawlessly. The looks, nods, thumbs up and conversations you will experience (like it or not) are non-stop so be prepared!
Purchased off the showroom floor and daily driven for the first three years. In subsequent years she was used for occasional weekend outings and in the annual town parade. When not in use she was always under cover and in the garage.
Tires are newer (less than two years old and less the 2000 miles. She fires right up with just a pedal pump (set the choke) and a light turn of the key. Drives and brakes straight at/from any speed. As expected, with 38k miles oil consumption is zero to negligible. She doesn't smoke one puff upon startup, even on the coldest mornings. All original factory emission controls are still in place and working 100%. Recent complete tune-up included; professional rebuilding of the carburetor, distributor cap and rotor, plugs and plug wires, ignition coil, ignition module. And, as well, the complete PCV system was inspected and given a complete bill of health. Fluids were flushed/replaced throughout. She has always been babied and serviced ahead of schedule (time or mileage).
No accidents 95% original factory finish non-smokers
As stated she's cosmetically excellent inside and outside with exception to paint touch ups here and there and the driver's seat bolster needs repair (from sliding in and out).
Being clear here...EVERYTHING WORKS as new including the clock and the original radio (there are no surprises)!
Original keys, selling dealer key fob, owner's manual, original showroom brochure and window sticker copy along with every other piece of paper conveyed by the dealer at delivery will be handed to the new owner. Clean and clear title in hand.
This is, more than likely, a once in a lifetime opportunity for the true FSJ Jeep enthusiast/collector.
Price: $25,500.00 somewhat negotiable but do not expect a response to LOWBALL offers. Please serious buyers (money on hand) only! No trade offers please. I will not finance any portion of the purchase price. I will assist in shipping or otherwise in any way I can.
Thanks for looking!
