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 original decals have been carefully preserved, and aftermarket sidesteps have been added to enhance accessibility.

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.
The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep was born out of a corporate need to survive. Willys-Overland used to supply the US Military with Jeeps for World War II. In 1944, they realized that with the War due to end, their lucrative orders would also dry up. So, they turned their attention to an America that was soon due to experience an agricultural and industrial boom, and decided to adapt the military Jeep into the CJ. This proved tougher said than done, because military Jeeps had lifespans of months or even weeks. They were throw-away items. A civilian Jeep, on the other hand, would also experience harsh use but be expected to last for years and even decades. Nevertheless, they did it, and the Jeep CJ was made from 1945 until 1986 across several iterations. Then, the successor gained a name that we know to this day; Wrangler. So, why not celebrate that glorious legacy and buy this 1978 Jeep CJ-5 that’s up for sale in Florida? With a 258ci straight six, a custom paint job, Bilstein performance shocks and more goodies, this is an off-road buddy that will never let you down.
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.
