Offered here is a beautifully restored and tastefully upgraded 1979 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade finished in striking silver with black interior. This classic Jeep blends rugged heritage with modern performance, making it equally at home on the trail, at the beach, or on display at a local car show.

Powering this CJ-5 is a strong 350 cubic-inch V8 built by renowned engine builder Buster Jackson. The motor is fitted with headers and Flowmaster mufflers, giving it an unmistakable deep exhaust note that perfectly matches its muscular stance. Power is transferred through a smooth-shifting 4-speed manual transmission, allowing for both spirited driving and reliable off-road control.

This Jeep underwent a full restoration between 2011 and 2012 and has been carefully preserved ever since. The current owner has cherished this CJ-5 since 1985. This 1979 Renegade represents the best of both worlds: authentic Jeep heritage combined with the thrill of a professionally built V8 powerplant. It's ready for weekend cruises, shows, or off-road adventures.
Key features include:


  • 350 V8 engine by Buster Jackson

  • Headers with Flowmaster exhaust system

  • 4-speed manual transmission

  • 4X4

  • BF Goodrich Radial tires (P255/70R15) mounted on classic wheels

  • Black bucket seats up front with a bench seat in the rear

  • Seat belts for all passengers

  • Silver exterior


The Jeep CJ lineage is a direct descendant of the iconic World War II military "jeep" produced by Willys-Overland. The CJ-5, introduced in 1955, was developed from the M-38A1 military Jeep and carried forward the rugged durability and utilitarian design that made the original famous. Production of the CJ-5 ran until 1983, making it one of the longest-running Jeep models ever.

This particular 1979 CJ-5 Renegade embodies that rich history while benefiting from performance upgrades and a careful restoration. Whether you're a collector, an off-road enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the unmistakable look and feel of a classic Jeep, this Renegade offers an outstanding opportunity.
