Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to offer this 1982 Jeep
CJ-5 Renegade, a classic open-air 4x4 that perfectly captures the
rugged character, unmistakable styling, and go-anywhere spirit that
made the CJ-5 a legend. Finished in an attractive cream exterior,
this Renegade has the right combination of vintage Jeep
personality, desirable equipment, and practical upgrades to make it
an exciting choice for everything from weekend cruising to backroad
adventures.
The CJ-5 has always been one of the most recognizable American
4x4s, and 1982 represents one of the final chapters in the model's
long production history. This example carries the desirable
Renegade styling package, giving the classic CJ-5 an even more
distinctive appearance. The cream-colored exterior provides a
clean, timeless look while the Renegade graphics, body-side
striping, and flared fenders give this Jeep the unmistakable
vintage appearance enthusiasts love.
Adding to the rugged presentation is a set of classic polished
aluminum slot-style wheels wrapped in aggressive BFGoodrich
Mud-Terrain T/A tires. The combination gives this CJ-5 a commanding
stance while maintaining the period-correct character that makes
these Jeeps so appealing. A soft top with matching soft half-doors
completes the exterior and allows the Jeep to be enjoyed in true
open-air fashion when the weather is right.
Inside, the cabin combines classic Jeep simplicity with a number of
upgrades that make this CJ-5 even more enjoyable to drive. The
interior features comfortable high-back bucket seats finished in a
warm tan/saddle color, complementing the cream exterior
beautifully. The ribbed seat inserts add a period-inspired
appearance while providing a comfortable place to settle in behind
the wheel.
Modern conveniences have also been incorporated into the cabin,
including an aftermarket head unit with under-dash speakers, an
auxiliary climate/AC control setup, and a locking center console
with cup holders. The floor-mounted shifter keeps the driving
experience distinctly Jeep, putting the manual transmission and
four-wheel-drive controls right where you want them.
Under the hood is AMC's legendary 258 cubic-inch, 4.2-liter
inline-six. The 258 is one of the most recognizable engines ever
installed in a Jeep and is renowned for its strong low-end torque,
straightforward mechanical design, durability, and excellent
serviceability. It is an ideal powerplant for a CJ-5, providing the
kind of usable torque that makes these Jeeps so much fun on the
street, trails, and everywhere in between. An aluminum radiator
adds to the mechanical presentation and helps provide dependable
cooling.
Behind the 258 is a 4-speed manual transmission, giving the driver
full control over the Jeep's power and making the most of the
torquey inline-six. Power is delivered through a traditional
part-time 4x4 system with a dual-range transfer case, giving this
CJ-5 the capability and versatility expected from a true Jeep.
Whether you're cruising around town, exploring back roads, or
heading toward the trail, the combination of the 258 six-cylinder,
four-speed manual, and 4x4 drivetrain delivers an engaging
old-school driving experience that modern SUVs simply cannot
duplicate.
There is something special about a classic CJ-5. It is compact,
open, mechanical, and unmistakably American. You sit upright behind
the wheel, shift the gears yourself, and have the freedom to remove
the top and doors when the weather calls for it. This Renegade
takes that experience and adds a great-looking cream exterior,
desirable Renegade styling, aggressive BFGoodrich tires, polished
aluminum wheels, a 258 inline-six, four-speed manual transmission,
and four-wheel drive.
Whether you're looking for a vintage Jeep to take to local shows, a
weekend cruiser with serious personality, or a classic 4x4 ready
for outdoor adventures, this 1982 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade has the right
combination of style, equipment, and character. With its iconic
Renegade appearance, open-air design, torquey 258 six-cylinder,
four-speed manual transmission, and capable 4x4 drivetrain, this
Jeep delivers the authentic CJ experience in a package that stands
out everywhere it goes.
