Present today is a 1972 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Restomod. It is a custom build done to perfection and looking for its new owner.

Exterior and Interior

This 1972 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Restomod sports an orange exterior and sees custom vinyl that features the "Renegade" marque. The body is in excellent condition due to a reported frame-off restoration completed in 2022 that features the frame being sandblasted and undercoated and the bedliner being sprayed under and inside the tub. The orange exterior is complemented with a reportedly new nutmeg-brown soft top that matches the vehicle interior. Upgrades on the exterior include new LED lights, a 10,000-pound front winch for more off-road journeys, and aluminum crawler wheels wrapped with Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tires. The wheels and tires stand out, with a Swing away spare tire carrier sporting a fifth matching wheel at the rear. The interior of this 1972 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Restomod follows the exterior in terms of tasteful and relevant modifications. The nutmeg-brown interior is reported to be new and can cool you off with the onboard air. The seats are in perfect condition and provide comfort amongst all the upgraded power felt through the aftermarket stainless steel tilt steering wheel. Safety upgrades include a roll cage in place. Your tunes are done justice with a new audio system with a Cobra CB radio with Bluetooth connectivity.

Engine

Pop the hood of this 1972 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Restomod, and you will find a reported 6.0L 401ci V8 powertrain sourced from a 1974 AMC Javelin that is said to be new and has less than 1,300 miles run since swapped in. The upgraded motor sees a few upgrades, which include a Painless wiring harness, a new aluminum radiator, a power steering unit, and a fuel tank. Suspension upgrades include a new suspension with Fox shocks, Dana 44 front end, Dana 60 spicer rear end, and a new no-spin locking differential in the rear end. The upgraded power and handling are met by better-stopping power with all-new power disc brakes. Power is sent to all four wheels of this off-roader through an upgraded driveline with a reportedly new T18 four-speed transmission.

The 1973 Jeep CJ-5 stands as a true symbol of classic American off-road culture, and this particular example takes that legacy to an entirely different level with a heavily built, trail-focused setup. Showing just 7,635 miles, it has clearly been maintained as a purpose-driven machine rather than a daily driver.

It’s not just visually aggressive; it’s engineered to perform in serious off-road environments, making it an excellent option for enthusiasts who want a vintage Jeep that’s already been built right instead of starting from scratch.

2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392

Current Ask
$89,500

The Wrangler Rubicon 392 is the kind of vehicle Jeep enthusiasts had been asking for long before it finally became reality—a genuine V8-powered Wrangler combining old-school muscle with the rugged personality of the Rubicon nameplate. This 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 4x4 takes that already special formula and makes it even harder to miss thanks to its Lime Green exterior and custom paint job. With under 10,000 miles, it also brings the appeal of a relatively low-mileage example. Customer Preferred Package 27X equipment, a Black/Red Nappa leather interior, and the unmistakable character of a 6.4L HEMI V8 make this Wrangler a particularly exciting choice for someone who wants serious road presence with true enthusiast appeal.
