1982 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade

Proud to present this striking 1982 Jeep CJ-7, one of the most desirable generations of the classic civilian Jeep. Finished in gloss black with period-inspired Renegade graphics and warmed by a rich Nutmeg-colored interior, this CJ pairs unmistakable early-’80s character with a thoughtful list of drivability and mechanical upgrades. Under the hood, a Howell electronic fuel injection setup transforms the classic 258ci inline-six into a reliable, easy-starting daily driver, while a Rough Country suspension lift and aggressive 33-inch tires give it genuine trail presence. For the collector who wants a recognizable, well-sorted CJ-7 Renegade that preserves its rugged heritage while adding real usability, this is an exceptional example.
