Overview of 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade For Sale by Owner

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.

1986 Jeep CJ-7

$26,500

This gray 1986 Jeep CJ-7 comes from the very last year of Jeep CJ production, a legacy that began in 1944. Willys-Overland knew that with World War II coming to a conclusion, their military Jeep sales would dry up significantly. So, they turned it into a tough and capable civilian off-roader, and the rest, as they say, is history. Produced through several iterations, the CJ finally bowed out in 1986, giving way to a nameplate that we all know and love; Wrangler. So, this 56,081-mile machine from Mount Gilead, Ohio is a piece of history and also includes a removable hardtop with the sale. Yes, one of the CJ and Wrangler’s party pieces is a removable hardtop that can be replaced with a variety of options, including full soft tops, bikini tops, or simply left topless. This machine comes with the 4.2-liter AMC straight six under the hood, paired with a 4-speed manual box and of course, four-wheel drive!
