of the 'Unstoppables' �€" Motor Trend, March, 2008 From Jeep.com,
some CJ-5 history: A popular and enduring legend, the CJ-5 has
probably logged more trail miles than any other Jeep® Brand
vehicle. Spanning thirty years, the CJ-5 had the longest production
run of any Jeep vehicle. Beginning in 1973, all Jeep CJs came
equipped with AMC-built 304- or 360-cubic-inch V8 engines. Renegade
models typically featured a 304 cubic inch (5L) V8 engine, stouter
drivetrain, alloy wheels, and a Trac-Lok® limited-slip rear
differential. - Jeep.com Offered here is a 1976 Levi's Edition Jeep
CJ-5 Renegade in Renegade Orange over tan... Levi's upholstery.
(Yes, those ordering the Levi's Edition back in the day had their
choice of blue denim cloth or tan vinyl upholstery.) This is a true
survivor, a respectfully treated Jeep still wearing its
factory-original paint and a re-done, original-style interior. The
CJ's odometer shows 69,339 miles, or roughly just over 1,500 miles
per-year on average since new. Overall, the factory-original
exterior Renegade Orange paint has endured well, with the exception
of sun-faded patina in evidence on the hood and front fender tops.
The special Renegade hood striping and identification, however,
remains crisp and perfectly legible, as does the white-painted Jeep
logo and the red Levi's trademark forward of the front entry doors.
A CJ-5 emblem is mounted on the lower portion of the iconic 7-slot
grille and an AMC Jeep badge appears on the left-rear. Chrome trim
on the headlights, hood hold-downs, and lower bodyside has been
well-maintained. A full, replacement canvas top, side curtain, and
door set is installed and matches the factory-original pieces.
Black wheel-arch extensions, bumpers, and side mirrors are fitted.
Lighting lenses as well as cabin glass and canvas-top windows are
clear and undamaged. Chrome steel wheels (including the
rear-mounted spare) are mounted with outlined-white-letter Good
Year Wrangler® Radials. Inside, the body-color-painted dashboard
shows no fading at all. The upright surface includes the large,
center-positioned speedometer, well-labeled auxiliary gauges and
controls, factory AM radio and speaker grille, grab handle, and
glove box. The Jeep-trademark-embossed, padded tan dashboard top is
near-perfect. In fact, in virtually all respects, the Jeep's
interior is in nearly new condition. The tan vinyl upholstery (with
red Levi's tags and a square pattern design with decorative rivets)
front and back is a newer factory-match replacement; it is properly
installed and shows no noticeable wear. Newer darker tan cabin
carpeting is in very good condition with little wear. An
AM-Jeep-branded sport steering wheel with brushed-metal spokes is
mounted; the shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission is
floor-mounted next to the transfer case selector. Under the hood,
the AMC 304-cubic-inch V8 commands a clean, original, but not
overly detailed engine bay. Components appear properly in place;
hoses and wiring are properly mounted. An Optima® battery is
installed. Viewed from below, the CJ's chassis is straight and
complete. There is no damage (compressed exhaust pipes, for
example) as might be the case if the Jeep had been too aggressively
driven off-road. The transfer-case protective plate remains
mounted. The Jeep's factory data tag and stickers remain as
originally mounted.
