Fifty years ago nobody could have predicted that a government competition for a U.S. scout car would produce a rugged line of vehicles that would far outlive its original purpose. 

On today's Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage we will be looking at the 1977 AMC Jeep CJ-7 By Monogram. This is a model car unboxing video that we hope you will enjoy. 

From its humble beginnings in the early days of World War Two, the Jeep has grown up to become one of America's favorite vehicles. But unlike it's older cousins, the 1977 Jeep CJ-7 is easily at home in the back woods or cruising down the boulevard. 

Equipped with a powerful V8 engine and four wheel drive, the 1977 American Motors Corporation Jeep CJ-7 can cut the toughest conditions down to size. Snow, mud, rain - Goodyear Tracker tires mounted on styled chrome wheels will take this vehicle where others fear to tread. And for those really rugged excursions on the back roads, there's even a power winch mounted up front to keep the CJ moving. A padded roll bar, quartz halogen headlights, canvas top and a long list of colors and options continue to keep the CJ on the top of everyone's want list. 

The Monogram 1977 AMC Jeep CJ-7 model car kit includes an 18 piece Factory Stock 304 C.I. AMC engine with a single carburetor engine, and your choice of stock or off-road air cleaner. The engine goes together easily and the exhaust headers and pipes meet up with the ctylitic converter located on the chassis. Monogram made some great model kit motors and this one is no exception!     

The interior consists of separate bucket seat with your choice of a three piece factory roll cage or the optional off-road six piece roll cage. Since the interior floor panel is part of the Jeep body, you get a dashboard, steering wheel, CB radio and floor pedals which attach to the windshield frame. This assembly is then glued to the back of the opening hood cowl which is then glued to the body from the top. All of these locate nicely once the model is assembled. 

The wheels are great recreations of the "Rallye" style 8-spoke mag wheels and the tires are wonderful recreations of the Goodyear Trackers. 

Proportionately, Monogram captured the look of the 1977 AMC Jeep CJ-7 perfectly. This 1/24th scale model can be built one of two ways; either as a full off-road racer or suburban run-about with removable hard top. The completed model will look great on the shelf or in a diorama. 

The chassis is a simple casting that includes a molded in fuel cell. The one piece differential, leaf springs and drive shaft components for both the front and rear axles easily drop onto the frame for simple construction. Shock absorbers and a few skid plates finish off the assembly. 

Have fun with your build!
