Overview
The 1980 Jeep Cherokee, part of AMC's popular Jeep SJ Series, was aimed at drivers looking for a rugged utility vehicle with the power to go off-road with ease.
Interior design was pretty basic for the 1980 Cherokee. The focus of the model line was performance and muscle, not style (unlike a lot of later SUV models), and the no-frills cabin reflected that choice. The Cherokee Chief package provided some decor upgrades in addition to power steering and other power features, though.
Under the hood, the '80 Jeep Cherokee offered a famously reliable 258 cubic inch, 4.2 liter AMC inline-6 engine; drivers looking for more power could upgrade to a 360 cubic inch, 5.9 liter V-8 plant which put out 255 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque.
The '80 Cherokee had plenty of heft and muscle. Not surprisingly, it also needed plenty of gas to move all of that Detroit steel around. Still, many devoted fans believe that the ruggedness and reliability of the '80 Cherokee more than outweigh its failings in fuel efficiency.

This car is so fun to drive, sure eats the gas though. But it's sure worth it. My Chief is special because of the vear, and it has the original blue tweed seats, light blue dashboard, runs like a champ.
