Vehicle Description
Some of you have been searching a long time for something like this
1974 Jeep CJ5 Renegade. It's a V8 4x4 from the off-roading kings.
But unlike many you see, this one has not been overly redone or
jacked-up. Instead, it is an exceptionally honest and original CJ
at an exceptionally affordable price.
Yes, that's Renegade Plum on this CJ5, and if you're a Jeep fan you
know how special this is. It's a rare color that was only offered
from the factory for a few years. In it's final year 1974, it was
only part of the Renegade Special (a package above the regular
Renegade.) So we're quite excited to have this rare paint still
looking quite original on this CJ5. The body and this special paint
show plenty of enjoyment over the years, but most of us know that's
part of the personality of a classic Jeep. And this one has far
more originality than just the color. All the great original
Renegade packaging upgrades are present, including the cowl
stripes, roll bar, fender flares, and cast aluminum wheels
w/locking rear-mounted spare. That's why if you're a Jeep fan, the
level of originality has you quite excited right now.
Inside is more untouched greatness. You get more Renegade Plum
along with the correct Renegade padded dash, as well as the oil and
power gauges flanking the large central speedometer. Other than
that, the interior is the down-to-business experience you'd expect
from a classic Jeep. The steering wheel hasn't been altered from
the WWII-style original; the heat/defrost controls are still
mounted below the metal dash; and the seats retain their
tough-as-nails original vinyl (the driver's seat does show wear
after 40+ years on the trail.) Even the full convertible top and
doors retain their originality. We won't pretend that the vinyl is
ideal for driving, but it's exactly what you want to show off with
this survivor jeep... and at this price, there's plenty of room in
the budget for replacements for when you want to be out on the
road.
Another great part of the Renegade package was the 304 cubic-inch
V8. Just like the rest of the CJ, this motor looks exceptionally
honest in the engine bay, and it could be original, it even has a
little flair with the bright air topper. Also, just like a proper
Jeep, this V8 fires up easily and is ready to get to work. Because
this does not deviate from the original wheel and tire size, you
get to experience the full power and gearing that Jeep intended
with their range-topping model. The result is a rather quick
machine with all the power in your hands thanks to the three-speed
manual transmission. And you're going to love the extra rumble that
comes from the side-exiting glasspack exhaust. But a CJ is also
about the 4x4 prowess. You have the two-speed transfer case that
connects to a Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear for superior stoutness
when it's time to hit the trail.
Rarely do you find something so original and unique up for grabs.
So the allure of this CJ5 Renegade goes far beyond its value, and
so if you're a true Jeep fan, you need to hurry for this one as the
price will be very attractive as well to others. Call now!!
