CJ7½

For years, AMC believed they were losing too many sales to the Ford Bronco and International Scout by not having a half-top model available. Three CJ7½ concept vehicles were built by AMC in 1980 to test the public's reaction to a half-top Jeep. The overwhelming comment was that the bed was too short so it was lengthened and resulted in the production of the CJ8 Scrambler. The three concept vehicles were meant solely for car shows, but one escaped when a lot driver accidentally loaded it onto a rail car and it got to a dealer. Of the other two, one was destroyed the following year and the other remained at the plant until it was finally destroyed when Chrysler bought out the Jeep line. I thought you would like to see the only remaining example in existence.

Keeping us in suspense?

No, it was unintentional. I added the image attachment to a post on the "Test Stuff Here" board. I checked that the image was here and then deleted the post on the test board. I guess it deleted the attachment with it. It didn't do that on the old forum.

Jeep'n Greg, what do yoou mean JOKE?

Elusive, what do you mean "cj-7 with a cj-8 half top"? Do you think the guy on eBay cheated me? He said it was a one of a kind collector's item.

Oh yeah... you got a one of a kind allright.

I'm just wondering... what the he!! is that sitting in your jeep in your icon picture. I've saved it, unstretched it, blown it up, and still don't have the first clue what that is besides really big and both brown and pink!

Now can you tell? It's ME!
My username should have given it away.

Okay, I see it now. Believe me, I tried to see Taz sitting in there and just couldn't quite make it out. The white areas were looking pink and... well... it just looked... IDUNNO!!! I got it now!

A couple more clues just in case you needed them:

On the one of a kind;
Just today, I had three people say, "I saw you at GM last week."
I asked, "Me or the Jeep."
"The Jeep"

I can't go anywhere without somebody having known by the Jeep.

Man, that is WAY too sweet of a paint job to be on a jeep!! JK

Pretty cool!

At least when people point and laugh, I don't feel so bad anymore.
