Although it has been replaced since 1986 by the equally legendary Wrangler, Jeep’s CJ series has probably logged more adventures and off-road trail road trip miles than any other model from the iconic brand. This 1976 CJ-5, though, is responsible for just 69k of those.

It has been noted as a “true survivor” as the CJ-5 proudly wears its original paintjob on the outside... although it’s another story with the interior. The latter has been respectfully remastered to its original condition and there’s also a new soft-top for when the weather becomes unfriendly during those long summer road trips.

Which is decidedly vintage, considering the tone of the interior. There, everything looks just right for a 1976 flashback and so we can proceed to the AMC V8 engine. The 304ci presents itself as the flagship option for the series back in the day, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the nicest view showcased under the hood – it's just practical and clean. As for the damage for owning this adventurous Renegade, the consigning dealer is asking precisely $22,500.
