For Sale: 1978 Jeep CJ5 in Lavergne, Tennessee

Vehicle Description

Here's a bold-looking 4x4 with V8 power and a terrific price. So you know this 1978 Jeep CJ5 Renegade is the right kind of machine for those who love the off-road lifestyle.

This CJ already has a striking first impression. The Graphite Metallic paint has a nice radiance in the sunshine. At the same time, the darker tone goes well with the blackout package of the black front bumper, roll bar, diamond plate rockers, tubular side steps, fender flares, Pro Comp rear bumper, and steel cargo basket. Plus, there are plenty more worthwhile rugged features, like a Badland winch, KC spotlights, and a high lift jack. And those Dick Cepek wheels draw your attention to a stance that sits high above the rest.

There's a full soft top and doors for when you want to be buttoned up to the world, and they even coordinate with the dark elements of the exterior. But a real Jeep loves to be open to the world. And this one does it well where the tan upholstery harmonizes with the tan Renegade decals on the hood. Jeeps don't need to be luxury machines, but this one does go the extra mile to give you added comfort features. This includes a weather-resistant AM/FM/CD stereo, a CB radio, and a lockbox armrest center console with cup holders. But where this really excels is at the added off-road ruggedness. That's why you have a comprehensive roll cage, liner paint on the floor, upgraded gauges, a sports steering wheel, and Corbeau front bucket seats with upgraded harnesses.

The 304 cubic-inch V8 is the correct spec for this Jeep, and the consignor even thinks it's the original powerhouse. But vintage status is only at its core because you can see from the pics a solid investment in newer components. These AMC motors have a reputation for robustness, and the way this one runs strong reaffirms its status. The three-speed manual transmission gives you proper control no matter if you're on the street or trail. The same goes for the power steering, power brakes, and front discs. And when you do take this one off-road, the short wheelbase, Mickey Thompson Baja Claw tires, and two-speed 4x4 transfer case combine to deliver that true Jeep go-anywhere prowess.

This has the look of a cool and serious Jeep, and it feels that way behind the wheel, too. Call today!!!
