1981 Jeep CJ Renegade Description

Here's a rare survivor-style 1981 Jeep CJ5 Renegade with all the right care to keep it looking distinct. You're looking at 20-year barn find. That's why the paint and much of this CJ is suspected to be original. That deep red has a nice gloss that looks great in the sunshine, so that only makes for an even better story if original. Plus, the blue and white Renegade full stripe package adds the perfect retro flare while also completing a very patriotic package. So yes, this one really has an instant appeal. As you dig deeper, it only gets better. You have the right Renegade package items like the roll bar and fender flares. And there's even a correct full-sized spare hanging off the rear. Part of what it takes to properly resurrect a barn find means a good replacement for some materials that cannot hold up over the decades. That's why you have fresh seat covers, and they are finished in a striking blue to really give this one a nice color theme inside & out. There's even a custom blue bikini top added for true distinction. Plus, a full soft top and doors come with the sale, too. This interior is built for plenty of off-road time with color-matched liner paint on the floors, Rugged Ridge floor mats, and the classic grippy Jeep steering wheel. Of course, all these elements make it look quite attractive, too. Under the hood, this Jeep comes from the few years where Jeep offered a 2.5-liter four-cylinder sourced from General Motors (creating easy part locating.) This is believed to be the original motor, and it has been given all the right investments to properly keep this classic running strong. This includes new spark plugs, wires, full cap/rotor/coil package, fresh oil, and full stainless exhaust. The carb was also rebuilt. You get ideal control over this motor thanks to the close-ratio four-speed manual transmission that has also been recently serviced with a new clutch, slave cylinder, and master cylinder. You even have new Bridgestone Dueler tires and new front disc brakes. So you have a Jeep with the right originality, plus the right investments to keep this 4x4 a strong runner. It makes for an outstanding classic Jeep, and it's offered right now for an outstanding price. Call now!
