classic vintage chrome 4x4 renegade 350 v8 manual transmission red
1982 Jeep Renegade -- Description
Combining a well-fitted appearance that's sure to attract plenty of admiring nods with a thoroughly refreshed interior and some serious power via an upgraded engine, this 1982 Jeep Renegade is one versatile ride. Its curb appeal would make it a worthy combatant on the local car show circuit while its enhanced muscle equips it with outstanding off-roading ability.
A number of well-chosen aftermarket components add both functionality and distinction to this Renegade's looks without detracting in the least from its purpose-oriented military-based heritage. Up front, a Warn winch is mounted on the bumper to extract the car from any sticky situations - as well as to potentially aid fellow motorists you might encounter while on your adventures - and a pair of KC fog lights are perched on the cowl to help light the way forward. It's clad in fresh red paint that shows no blemishes of note and will return to its silky smooth best with a good claybar session. Should the weather turn while you're out blazing your path, the included soft top is in nearly new condition - it fits nicely to keep the elements from intruding and still features crystal clear windows. Contrasting fender guards add to the overall look, as does the full size spare perched in back on its swing mount.
The interior sports a thoroughly refurbished appearance while retaining its factory configuration, with a pair of brown vinyl high backed buckets and a rear bench seat that have yet to develop any noticeable signs of wear on their surfaces. Between the buckets is a color matched aftermarket console that not only provides a cool detail, but also welcome interior storage space and a couple of cupholders. Step inside and you'll be impressed with just how fresh everything looks, starting with the dash area, which houses a collection of fully functional stock gauges surrounded by an unusually clean chrome panel, with the control switches and knobs just below securely in place. A Pioneer AM/FM/Cassette stereo is at the center of the dash and pairs with dual 3-way speakers mounted in back to provide a quality, period correct audio experience and the floor is well protected with liner. A sturdy padded roll bar looms above the cabin to provide an extra measure of protection and there's a multi-song horn on board to keep fellow motorists apprised of your presence.
All the components are in place for a great time both on and off the road. The 350 cubic inch V8 now taking center stage in the engine compartment holds a decisive displacement advantage over any of the available powerplant options when this '82 debuted and, having logged relatively light mileage, is running strong. It's fed by a Holley 4-barrel carb that sits on a stock intake manifold and exhales into a pair of long tube headers with side exhausts that exit just in front of the rear wheels. The engine pairs up with a 4-speed manual transmission to put full control of the available power in the hands of the driver. This Renegade offers plenty of wheel clearance, so its four-wheel drive capabilities make it a force to be reckoned with upon detouring from the asphalt and the feature is easily activated via a lever on the transmission tunnel. Front disc brakes help provide fade resistant stops as this rugged workhorse patrols the road on its set of sharp 15" wheels wrapped with Trailblazer Regul A/T tires.
With its eager power and fresh appearance, this 1982 Jeep Renegade is one vintage off-roader that's equipped to handle whatever you send its way. Call today!
