1981 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Levi's Edition – Rotisserie Restored, 401 V8, 4-Speed, $75K Estimated Build
Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is proud to offer this beautifully restored 1981 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Levi's Edition. Finished in classic White over a Blue interior, this CJ-5 combines iconic Jeep styling with serious V8 power, high-quality restoration work, and a standout presentation from top to bottom.
This Jeep has undergone a rotisserie frame-off restoration with a strong attention to detail throughout. Under the hood sits a new 401 cubic-inch V8 engine paired to a new 4-speed manual transmission, giving this compact CJ the kind of power and driver engagement that makes it far more exciting than a stock example. Power steering and power brakes make it much more enjoyable to drive, while the manual gearbox keeps the classic Jeep experience alive.
The restoration quality is evident everywhere you look. The undercarriage, engine bay, and exterior feature painted and chromed components throughout, giving this Jeep a highly detailed and show-ready appearance. The white exterior pairs perfectly with the blue Levi's Edition interior theme, creating the kind of vintage look that makes these Renegade models so desirable.
Adding to the attitude are custom wheels wrapped in Hankook red and blue letter mud-terrain tires, giving the Jeep a tough, period-correct stance with a custom edge. A Bestop bikini top adds open-air usability, while the custom sound system gives it a modern touch without taking away from the classic CJ personality.
With an estimated build cost of $75,000, this 1981 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Levi's Edition represents a high-quality restoration with upgraded performance, sharp detailing, and excellent curb appeal. If you are looking for a standout CJ that blends classic Jeep heritage with big V8 power and show-quality presentation, this example deserves serious attention.
