1974 Jeep CJ5 Renegade, 304ci V8, 4x4, Warn Locking Hubs

This week Canyon State Classics brings to market an awesome example of a 1974 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade in stunning condition inside and out. This Jeep was bought brand new at Galloway Motors on October 3rd, 1973 by Mr. Thomas Payne of Tucson. This Jeep has Southwest desert area its whole life and is completely solid and rust-free, and still retains its all original steel tub with no patch work. This little CJ has just come out of the collection of a
35 year Jeep dealer and expert who just recently completed a full frame off restoration on this gorgeous CJ-5. He stated that he believes the miles are original at under 40k, as he knows the Jeep was off the road for the better part of 25
years before the restoration. The vehicle has been carefully restored to like new condition! Don't miss your chance to own one of the cleanest CJs on the market today...BID NOW!!

    The body on this CJ is in great condition overall. The paint on the Jeep is all brand new, and underneath the jeep looks as clean as on top! As I mentioned before this Jeep was taken completely off the frame and painted in pieces before being re-assembled.
While the body was off, the frame was boxed above each leaf spring mounting point, to strengthen the Jeep substantially. The body on the jeep is all steel and is very straight. The jeep started off as a totally rust free body before the restoration, so you know the final product is great! The CJ is painted in its original color of Golden Tan Metallic and has had the correct Renegade graphics just re-installed as well as brand new fender flares! The windshield is correctly painted black, and the interior floors are all very nicely sprayed with a black non slip paint under the carpet kit, which is just laid in, not glued.
   The interior is in great shape all around. The original seats have been recovered and are all in great condition with no tares or rips of any kind and no signs of wear. The dash is in nice shape with all correct gauges in place and everything functioning as it should. A beautiful black carpet kit is freshly installed. Another extremely rare thing about this CJ is the original, working Jeep AM radio and speaker, which was rarely ordered at an extra cost! The seats do have original seat belts, and windshield wipers work.
   Mechanically, this little CJ runs GREAT! The jeep starts right up and the rebuilt four speed shifts properly and had an all new clutch and slave cylinder installed when the drivetrain was bolted back together. The 304ci V8 moves this Jeep around with ease and is actually quite peppy and the carburetor was just overhauled and new fuel pump and tank installed. The motor was opened up checked out, and then resealed with all new gaskets before going back on the frame. I personally drove the Jeep back from Tucson driving at a constant 75mph for nearly 2 hours!
The Jeep is very tight and doesn't leak a drop of anything and the cooling system keeps the motor cool even in the Arizona heat. The four wheel drive system functions perfectly and the locking hubs work correctly. All brakes were fully serviced and work perfectly. The electrical system was updated and the original Motorola alternator was replaced with a more dependable AC Delco alternator/regulator combo. This jeep is extremely reliable and starts right up every time.
   All in all, this is one heck of a nice Jeep to drive and will get compliments as well as stares everywhere it goes. If you have been searching for a nearly showroom perfect Jeep CJ-5, your search ends here! The car has a clean Arizona Title. Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, AZ!
