Vehicle Description
The short-wheelbase CJ5s are a blast to drive. Their
maneuverability and light weight made them very desirable for off
road use and also fun to sport around town in. Repainted in its
factory original Renegade Blue (I mean really, why would anyone
want to change this color?), and sporting V8 power, this is one
good looking, fun Jeep!
Dressing up this awesome shade of Blue is a fresh chrome grill and
headlight trim as well as shiny diamond plating wrapping around the
bottom of the body. Hood latches and side mirrors have also been
replaced so that everything looks sharp and clean. A big double bar
bumper has a hoop over a set of SRB auxiliary driving lights to
protect them from big bumps and are doubly protected from stray
sticks by chrome mesh. The back also has a heavy-duty bumper, so
this CJ is protected from any trees that might jump out in front of
it, or behind it. The bikini top is newer and in great shape
offering some protection from sun or rain. Polished Mickey Thompson
wheels add their splash of flash to the look and the whole Jeep
looks great sitting up on those 32X11.50 tires.
The interior of this truck is also the factory correct Levi Blue.
There are fresh seat covers front and rear and they look great! A
new lockable console between the seats with cup holders is big
enough to handle piles of stuff. A beefy Grant steering wheel gives
the driver something substantial to hang on to if you take it out
to play, and there is an AutoMeter Sport Comp tach with shift light
mounted on the steering column. The dash has an aftermarket switch
cluster and under dash mounted temperature controls. The
speedometer is stock with fuel and water temp gauges while
AutoMeter gauges keep tabs on the oil pressure and volts. A B&M
long handle shifter for the manual transmission rises from the
floor next to the transfer case lever and the passenger might
really appreciate the chrome grab handle on their side. Red, white
and blue Jeep floor mats complete the look of this interior
nicely.
Under the hood you will find a healthy V8 motor nestled down in a
neat and clean engine bay. It is 304 cubic inches and is topped by
a chrome Edelbrock air filter housing which feeds an Edelbrock
4-barrel carburetor and Performer AMC intake manifold. A Mallory
ignition coil handles the spark sending it out through new cap,
rotor, wires and plugs, and long tube headers get the spent gasses
out and headed back to dual mufflers. Chrome valve covers add their
splash of flash and braided stainless protects the rubber lines
while an aluminum radiator keeps things running cool. The
drivetrain underneath is tried and true and tough as nails Jeep all
the way. A nice steering damper helps prevent kick back on rocks
and roots and a healthy skid plate protects the rear end if you
center up on a rock or in some ruts.
A great looking Jeep in Renegade Blue with Blue Levi interior and
lots of flashy chrome. A very capable Jeep with V8 power sitting up
on a serious set of tires. Come on down and check it out. Then take
it out. Anywhere.
