1976 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Levi's Edition 4-Speed

Description

The CJ-5 was the backbone of Jeep's civilian lineup through much of the 1970s, combining the brand's proven ladder-frame construction and four-wheel drive with a compact, open-air body that made it equally at home on a trail or a suburban street. The Renegade package, available throughout the CJ-5's run, added bodyside graphics and upgraded interior trim that distinguished it from the standard model.

For 1973, Jeep introduced the Levi's Edition as an optional interior package for the CJ-5, a collaboration with the denim maker that brought fabric seating surfaces styled to resemble denim, complete with copper rivets echoing the hardware on Levi's jeans. This 1976 CJ-5 has factory interior option code 6HG, indicating a tan Levi’s Edition interior, which has since been reupholstered in blue denim-style material.

Power comes from the larger factory 4.2-liter AMC inline-six backed by a 4-speed manual transmission and part-time four-wheel drive. This Renegade rides on Dick Cepek Radial tires mounted on 15-inch steel wheels with chrome trim rings, while a set of auxiliary driving lights are mounted to the front bumper.

This CJ-5 Renegade Levi's Edition is now offered with a Chilton service manual, multiple keys, and a clean Tennessee title in the seller’s name.
