1978 Cherokee Chief - $6250 (South Carolina)

Post by MBJeepJam »

1978 Jeep Cherokee Chief Wide Track (Myrtle Beach, SC)

I recently purchased this sweet Cherokee Chief for a project, but selling due to opting for a 4-door Wagoneer instead. I currently have 2 FSJ and the wife would very much like for me to have 1 FSJ, so help a fella out. The Jeep has been reliable and enjoyable during my ownership.

Engine: AMC 360 V8 with an upgraded Edelbrock carburetor. Runs well with solid power. Odometer reads 92,000 miles, but I don't know the full history.

Condition: Fair condition for its age. Small rust spots in the rear body. The front floor has been redone. The frame is solid, and the vehicle has spent limited time in northern climates, so rust is relatively minimal.

Features: Quadra-Trac 4x4, new gas tank, rewired fuse box, and a wide-track stance. The interior is basic, with manual locks and windows and no radio. No AC. Speedometer works, but other gauges largely don't.

If you're interested in this classic Cherokee Chief, please reach out for more information or to arrange a viewing. I prefer Cash / Cashier's Check and In-Person sale to avoid scams. Thanks.

Thanks for the interest. I have a video and some more photos on the Facebook listing :

I'm out of town till Thursday, but can shoot some more video then. I've only driven it about 100 miles or so myself, but I haven't hard any reason for concerns with it, I've just decided to go in a different direction.

Thanks for the link, but many here do not do fakebook, so any pics/info you can post here is appreciated :)

Nope. Best I get is the main page of the site, when cutting back address until something pops up, otherwise says page not found.

If you click on that link it should download the video. Try this one on Google Drive, but I'm running out of options here :

Price is $6k now - which is below what I have into it, and I've only owned it less than a month.

That link worked, and don't drop your price too fast. Takes some folks awhile to find you, and a very select crowd of buyers on these rigs, but yours does look capable and really complete for its life so far.
Thanks for posting the video, and hope it helps you get it sold.
