“You see, Austin Powers, I love GOOOOOLD! The taste of it, the smell of it, the texture…” 

This ultra-rare Topaz Gold Metallic 1982 Jeep CJ-7 Jamboree, showing 140,000 miles, is one of the rarest versions of the legendary CJ-7 series. Even if you’re not a fan of gold—or brown—you’ve got to love this thing. Offered by PC Classic Cars in Sherman, Texas, it was listed for $32,500 via eBay Motors.  

The Model 
The 1982 Jeep CJ-7 Jamboree was one of two CJ-7 special editions (alongside the ’82–’83 CJ-7 Limited) and comes with a fascinating backstory. 

Back in 1952 in Georgetown, California, a former gold rush town, a group of 4×4 enthusiasts came up with an idea to boost local tourism: an event called the Jeepers Jamboree. According to lore, the first official run in 1953 brought 55 vehicles and 150 participants to the rugged Rubicon Trail—and the tradition has been going strong ever since. 

By the 1980s, the Jeepers Jamboree had grown into a major off-road event. While all makes were welcome, Jeep was always the star of the show. Recognizing the marketing potential, Jeep decided to create a special edition to celebrate the event: the CJ-7 Jamboree. 

Originally slated for a 2,500-unit production run, only about 630 individually numbered examples were actually built, making it the rarest CJ-7 ever produced and one of the rarest Jeeps of all time. Of those, 560 were finished in Topaz Gold Metallic like this one, and 70 in Olympic White. According to the Jamboree Registry, roughly 160 Topaz Gold Metallic trucks and only 20 Olympic White examples are known to remain. 

Add that to the fact that Hagerty named the CJ-7 one of the “9 Hottest Collectible Cars” in 2018, and it’s clear: this Jambo is one hell of a collectible rig.  

The Specs 
Registered as #116 in the official Jamboree Registry, this CJ-7 Jamboree wears resprayed “2H” Topaz Gold Metallic paint and presents as a clean, rust-free driver. It shows 140,000 miles, includes a clean CARFAX, and offers the perfect balance between collector-grade rarity and real-world usability.
