i saw you guys talking about the golden eagles and stuff and was wondering if you know anything about the super star pkg jeep cj-7?
Well, I have never heard of a "Super Star Package" Jeep. In the late 70s IIRC an aftermarket firm, I don't recall which one, made up some special edition CJ-7s that had some design on the hood, kinda like the sunrise design you see on the Arizona State flag. It looks a sun coming up with rays coming from the sun and ending in stars. Best description I can give you. If I were to see a picture of the Jeep you are talking about I could tell you if it is one of the CJ-7s I am thinking of. They may have even been called the Lone Star edition or something like that. Memory ain't what it used to be.
In 1973 AMC manufactured a special edition CJ-5 called the Super Jeep. It had some striping with stars designed in, from front to rear, special color combo seats for the interior, and came in 3 colors, White, Tan, and Blue. In my travels I have seen only these 3 colors for the Super Jeep so I don't think there were any other colors.
My understanding of the production of the Super Jeep, or one version is that AMC did not have enough aluminum slotted wheels for the 73 model year to fulfill orders for the Renegade package, so the Super Jeep was a compromise having Renegade features, with factory steel rims instead of the aluminum rims. Another version, says the Super Jeep was a marketing idea to push sales of the V8 powered CJ-5. Another version said it was a way to sell more Jeeps by cutting back on option costs, (elimination of the aluminum rims for example). I don't really know which is right, but I tend to believe the lack of aluminum wheels was the reason for the Super Jeep since all of the stock Super Jeeps I have seen had the steel wheels with H78-15 Goodyear Suburbanite M&S tires from the factory.
Sorry I don't really answer your question, but these are the only two Jeep versions that come close to your super star question.
