Background Story of this 1978 Jeep CJ-5

Overview of 1978 Jeep CJ-5 For Sale by Owner

Jeep has consistently secured its place among the world's most renowned and respected off-road vehicle manufacturers. Its origins date back to 1944 when it was established to fulfill the United States Army's need for a versatile and rugged all-terrain vehicle during World War II. Now available for acquisition is a rare gem, the 1978 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Levi’s Edition, presented in outstanding condition. This particular CJ-5 showcases the unique and desirable Levi’s Option, a feature that adds to its desirability and collectability. Allowing enthusiasts and collectors to appreciate its timeless appeal and remarkable heritage.

Exterior and Interior

In collaboration with Levis, Jeep created a truly distinctive version of the 1978 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade. This particular Renegade stands out with its vibrant bright red paint finish, which has been fully repainted to restore its original luster. The iconic Jeep grille takes center stage in the front fascia, accompanied by stylish lights and a chrome bumper that reflects its off-road capabilities. The Renegade script adorns the sides of the hood, while the Jeep and Levis logos can be found near the side steps. The original decals have been carefully preserved, and aftermarket sidesteps have been added to enhance accessibility. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by an elegant tan interior, which underwent reupholstering six years ago. To further emphasize the collaboration with Levis, new blue Levis buttons were added, complementing the overall design. The seats feature simulated Levi fashion stitching, adding a touch of style and comfort. The dash boasts jean-style padding, and the top is made of a durable jean-type material. The original steering wheel and dashboard have been retained, while new side and rearview mirrors, lights, and a modern stereo system have been installed, enhancing functionality and convenience.

Engine

The 1978 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade gained popularity due to its robust engine performance. Powering this vehicle is a reliable 258 cubic inch inline-6 engine, complemented by a single barrel carburetor. Notably, the original three-speed manual transmission has been replaced with an aftermarket automatic transmission, providing ease of use and smooth gear transitions. For off-road enthusiasts, the CJ-5 Renegade Levi's Edition is equipped with a dual-range transfer case, allowing you to easily switch between 4x2 and 4x4 modes to conquer various terrains. The engine's power output was estimated at 103 horsepower, accompanied by an impressive torque of 201 lb-ft.

Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. So, they switched gears and made the Jeep CJ, a tough, no-nonsense off-roader aimed at farmers and tradespersons who needed a simple vehicle with guts and four-wheel drive. This vehicle comes from the CJ-5 era which ran between 1954 and 1983. With its naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox and aftermarket exhaust system, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 has only done 167 miles since its thorough makeover.

Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.

2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport

The Jeep Wrangler is one of just two vehicles available today that allow you to remove the doors and roof for the ultimate open-air experience. You can imagine the engineering that goes into enabling such a feat, and most manufacturers simply don’t bother. But Jeep can’t do that, and you know why? Because since the mid-1940s, they’ve been outfitting enterprising Americans with tough, go-anywhere, do-anything off-roaders. The Wrangler, in fact, can directly trace its lineage to the Jeep CJ series. Today’s 2019 Jeep Wrangler comes from the current JL series and packs a punchy Pentastar V6 under its rather sizable hood. That’s not all, with its automatic gearbox, Fox Racing steering stabilizer and 10,000-pound Warn winch, it’s ready to hit the trails with gusto. Oh, and it can also be your faithful, dependable and comfortable family cruiser too. If you want to get your hands on this sub 50,000-mile machine from Delta, Colorado, talk to us right now.

PENDING SALE
$49,989

The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
