Overview of 1976 Jeep CJ-5 For Sale by Owner

As early as 1944, when World War II was reaching its tail end, the Willys-Overland Corporation started previewing a civilian version of the military Jeep. The civilian version would be nearly identical to the military one, with body-on-frame construction, rigid live axles, leaf springs, and part-time four-wheel drive. Called the CJ (Civilian Jeep) series, over 1.5 million were sold until 1986 when the Wrangler took over. This 1976 Jeep CJ-5 is one proud member of that massive family and is up for sale with a mere 15,000 miles under its belt. So, if you want to own and drive a classic American hero, here’s your chance to pick one up.

Exterior and Interior

The white coat worn by this 1976 Jeep CJ-5 gives it a dapper appearance, especially when you consider its black canvas doors and roof. That’s because the Jeep is meant to be, first and foremost, a highly outdoorsy vehicle. It’s most at home on the trails, in the bush, or plugging through the mud. And when you take off those doors and the roof, you’ve got an open-air experience that is nearly unmatched by today’s modern SUVs. We’re told that the soft top is new, as are the tires and wheels. Furthermore, the windshield frame is also reported to be a new part. The interior of this 1976 Jeep CJ-5 offers leather seats, but that’s the breadth of its comfort features. You’ll find some gauges for necessary information, a manual gear shift lever and transfer case lever, three pedals, and a steering wheel. The front passenger also gets a grab handle. That’s all, really, and that’s all you need. Because the Jeep CJ series is all about simplicity and only having what’s necessary. That means that if something breaks down in the middle of nowhere, it can easily be fixed.

Engine

The 304ci V8 under the hood of this 1976 Jeep CJ-5 is the largest engine that was offered for the CJ-5, and is an AMC unit. The engine powers the wheels via a 3-speed manual gearbox and a two-speed transfer case. The vehicle has received new drum brakes, and sits on an aftermarket lift kit with shock absorbers.
