Description for Jeep CJ5 1981

Some of you have been searching a long time for something like this 1981 Jeep CJ5 Renegade. It's a 4x4 from the off-roading kings. But unlike many you see, this one has not been overly redone or jacked-up. Instead, it has been restored to back to day-one condition. And best of all, something this unique is still so affordable.This is what a quality restoration looks like. The Autumn Gold paint with the crisp and correct Renegade graphics is a look we can't get enough of in our showroom. The whole appearance is like a desert sunset, especially with the new crisp earthtone top and door. So this CJ5 feels like it's itching for an adventure even when parked downtown. And that's really the point of owning a classic like this. You can take it to the beach or in the backwoods, but for those times with its just part of the grocery run, the rest of us in the parking lot are wondering what journey you'll be off to next. And even as you look over the details, this one gets everything right. From the newer fender flairs, to the bright hood latches, to the factory "wagon wheels" with full size-spare bolted to the rear it's all part of an iconic presentation.The interior is fresh and exceptionally clean. Because a Jeep is meant to be open to the world, the exterior yellow returns on the floor, sides, and roll bar, for a bright and seamless appearance. As expected with a vehicle that has this much utility, the interior gets down to business quickly. The steering wheel doesn't look like it has been altered much since the WWII version, and the larger central speedometer is flanked by all the essential info. You do get extra luxuries like an AM/FM cassette stereo. Plus, the tan vinyl seats are brand new. This means they're not only comfortable out on the trail, but also they're freshly weatherproofed so you can still clean out a weekend's worth of fun with a garden hose just as any good Jeep should be.Under the hood is Jeep's famous 258 cubic-inch inline-six motor. You can see from the pictures that there has been a lot of time invested during the restoration into getting this looking both fresh and accurate right down to the factory sticker on the air topper. So the whole engine bay is really fun to show this one off to everyone. But beyond appearance, it's a long established powerplant for Jeep that has proven its reliability and continues to have easy parts availability. This makes it the perfect long-term partner no matter if you used this one to traverse high mountains or cruise High Street. The four-speed manual transmission feeds the stock two-speed transfer case and seriously beefy axles at both ends. And as you can see from the undercarriage photos, its fresh appearance tells you this received plenty of attention during restoration. The full package comes with power steering, front disc brakes and a nice set of Goodyear Wrangler tires.Starting to see the full picture on this one? No matter if you're pulling 4x4 duty every day or just want to look exceptionally authentic while driving through town, this restored CJ5 can pull it off. And it's available right now for quite a nice price. So don't miss out, call today!
