1980 Renegade Automatic

1980 Jeep CJ Renegade Description

Serving as the ultimate utilitarian vehicle, Jeeps have become one of the most recognized vehicles throughout the course of history. Since serving on the battlegrounds of World War II, the "Civilian Jeep," or CJ, like this 1980 Jeep CJ-7, has been the vehicle of choice for the enthusiast that wants to take their fun off the asphalt and onto the trails. As far as classic Jeep aesthetics, it doesn't get much better than this. This CJ is covered in black paint accented with blue Renegade graphics, giving it a nostalgic look for the era. Upfront is the highly recognizable, chrome grill that houses clear headlights and parking lamps. Below that grill is a large bumper that has plenty of room for any off road attachment you may wish to add. There is a removable hard top that comes with this CJ-7, and since it has a sunroof, you can still enjoy the sun with the top on. No Jeep is complete without a full size spare mounted out back. This one carries a big 33x12.5 General Grabber tire wrapping a 15 inch Eagle alloy wheel that matches the other four rollers. And finally, there is a gas can carrier out back if you decide to accessorize a little bit more. Inside, the black and blue theme continues with neoprene blue seats to help keep cool in the summer sun. Those buckets face a black dash that houses necessary instrumentation and an AM/FM radio, all nestled in a nice chrome insert. The interiors of Jeeps have most always been simple, and this one is no exception. There is a locking center console that is big enough to fit any loose items in for those bumpy trail rides. Everything is within easy reach, such as the 4-wheel drive range mode selector, and switches for the cold air conditioning. Behind the driver and passenger rests a two tone bench seat that matches the front buckets. And the removable doors feature blue vinyl with cranks for the manual windows. Covering the floors are rugged floor mats that are ready to catch any dirt or mud that happens to get tracked back in the Jeep. Finally, sitting on top of the tilt column is a 'Jeep' branded 3 spoke steering wheel. Unlatch the hood and you'll find a 304 cubic inch AMC V8. The motor has been rebuilt and features an upgraded air cleaner and chrome valve covers. It was also up fitted with a new electronic ignition system. At the same time of the engine rebuild, the transmission was serviced and pan gasket replaced. Underneath, a Skyjacker lift kit has been installed to give this Jeep a few more inches of ground clearance. Although this undercarriage is clean, it's meant to be enjoyed on the trails and that's exactly what it's ready to do. With power brakes and power steering, this Jeep is poised to tackle any terrain confidently. And sending the exhaust out is a sharp sounding dual system with glasspack mufflers. This Jeep CJ-7 is a turn-key package for the buyer who wants an undeniably fun toy. Whether it's going to be doing trail duty or grocery hauling, it's ready to serve. Jeeps are, and have always been, a hot commodity. Call today!
