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!!!
