Fun fact; the CJ in Jeep CJ stands for Civilian Jeep! By 1944, Willys-Overland had started planning a civilian variant of the popular military Jeep that had revolutionized battlefields all across the theaters of World War II. They knew that the War was coming to an end, and so would their bread-and-butter product. So, by 1945, the CJ-2A was introduced and sold over 214,000 units in just four years. CJ-1 and CJ-2 were prototypes and thus not available to the public. The series continued for decades, with the CJ-7 coming in 1976. This particular 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade is thus one of over 379,000 units built over a 11-year production run. Bearing 7,101 miles on the odometer, this vehicle resides in Anderson, South California, and is waiting for a new custodian.
Exterior and Interior
The attractive blue and silver two-tone paint job of this 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade showcases the vehicle’s iconic style and design that changed little over the decades. We’re told that there’s a new convertible top, and that the floors have been replaced as well. There’s also a 4-inch lift kit to accommodate those mega 36-inch tires that further enhance the vehicle’s already impressive off-road abilities. The headlamps also appear to be upgraded LED units for better visibility and reliable lighting. The interior of this 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade is in excellent condition, with original-style gauges, and push-pull controls for the heating and ventilation system. There are two low-back seats upholstered in black leather, and a four-spoke aftermarket steering wheel. You won’t find any powered amenities here; the door locks, mirrors and windows are all manually operated. After all, that means fewer things to go wrong when you’re out and about. Behind the two seats lies a spacious cargo area with a bright red tool box as well.
Engine
This 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade uses a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated in-line six-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and two-speed transfer case. We’re told that the carburetor, as well as the brakes are new, enhancing reliability and drivability of this classic off-roader.
This 1982 Jeep CJ-7 represents the classic Jeep formula taken to an enthusiast level, combining vintage 4x4 character with a comprehensive off-road build. Showing approximately 4,831 miles since the build, this CJ-7 has been extensively upgraded with a reinforced and powder-coated frame, Mountain Off-Road Enterprises suspension components, upgraded axles, four-wheel disc brakes, and a strengthened drivetrain designed for serious trail use. Finished in white with a black interior, it features a Clifford Performance blueprinted 292ci inline-six, NV4500 5-speed manual transmission, Atlas transfer case, MasterCraft Baja RS suspension seats, and a long list of purpose-built improvements. With the current owner reporting approximately 4 inches of additional width over stock axles and only a few thousand miles since completion, this CJ-7 represents a highly customized interpretation of Jeep’s legendary open-air 4x4 platform.
The CJ-7 sits right in the sweet spot of classic Jeep history: compact, simple, unapologetically mechanical, and still built around the kind of body-on-frame 4x4 formula enthusiasts love. This 1986 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade takes that foundation and adds a long list of thoughtful upgrades, with the current owner reporting that the build took approximately two years to complete. Showing just 1,210 miles, it combines its classic Renegade identity with modernized fueling and ignition, a 5-speed manual transmission, a 2-inch suspension lift, a TDK frame, upgraded instrumentation, and a refreshed interior. Finished in Chevrolet Shark Gray with a black hard top, it has the rugged stance of a traditional CJ while bringing in just enough modern hardware to make it a particularly appealing enthusiast build.
The 1976 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade Levi’s Edition represents one of the most distinctive and collectible versions of Jeep’s classic CJ lineup, combining legendary off-road capability with a unique lifestyle-oriented appearance package. Introduced during Jeep’s transition toward a more refined recreational 4x4 market, the CJ-7 offered improved comfort and versatility while preserving the rugged mechanical character that made the CJ platform famous. The Levi’s Edition added a memorable touch with its denim-inspired interior appointments, creating a special-edition Jeep that stood apart from standard models. Showing approximately 2,507 miles, this example features a factory 304ci V8, TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, and Quadra-Trac 4WD system. Finished in Firecracker Red with a Levi’s Tan interior, it is equipped with a black removable hard top, original Levi’s Edition rear bench seat, black American Racing wheels, power steering, power brakes, and several practical upgrades. According to the current owner, the body tub retains its original paint and remains well preserved, making this CJ-7 a standout example of Jeep’s iconic open-air heritage.
The 1955 Willys Jeep CJ-5 represents the early civilian evolution of the wartime Jeep formula, retaining the compact dimensions, simple mechanicals, and go-anywhere character that made the platform famous. Showing 32,946 miles, this example is finished in Forest Green with a Black/Gray vinyl interior and features the classic open-top CJ configuration with removable doors, a fold-down windshield, and a rear cargo area with a drop-down tailgate. Its 134ci Hurricane F-head four-cylinder, 3-speed manual transmission, and dual-range 4WD system give it the straightforward, mechanical driving experience that defines an early CJ.
This 1967 Jeep CJ-5 is the kind of early Jeep that reminds you why the CJ became such an enduring off-road icon in the first place. Showing approximately 1,922 miles, this example keeps the formula wonderfully simple with a 225ci V6, 4-speed manual transmission, and a Dana 18 twin-stick transfer case sending power through a Dana 27 front axle and Dana 44 rear axle. Finished in green over a reupholstered tan interior, it combines period-correct utility with just enough upgrades to make it more usable, including manual locking hubs, a power brake booster, and a spray-lined tub. It is compact, mechanical, and purpose-built in exactly the way vintage Jeep enthusiasts tend to appreciate.
This 2003 Jeep Wrangler Sahara takes the familiar TJ platform and gives it a much more personalized off-road character through a long list of visual and mechanical upgrades. Showing approximately 142,377 miles, it stands out immediately with its custom purple exterior finish, lifted stance, black hardtop, and matching purple accents throughout. Under the hood is a 4.0L Newcomer Racing naturally aspirated inline-6 paired with a 42RLE 4-speed automatic transmission and 4WD, while upgrades including a 3.5-inch suspension lift, Bilstein shocks, K&N intake, rock sliders, aftermarket bumpers, and recovery hardware give this Wrangler a more purposeful trail-ready presentation.
