While driving, most Jeeps might garner a wave from another vigilant owner, but if we're serious about it, some Jeeps deserve a bigger wave than others. And while you can decide for yourself which ones may not live up to the name, it should be unanimous among enthusiasts that the CJ era of Jeeps could be considered the toughest ever made, and more than deserving of a big wave. This 1976 Jeep CJ5 has been fully repainted in a beautiful Royal Blue. Unlike so many old-school CJs, you won't find any rust inside or outside of this redone beast. A nearly impenetrable Rhino lining protects the interior and underside of the cab and the wheel wells, while the entire frame has also been painted black. New headlights, taillights, and mirror all help this throwback Jeep look like it just rolled out of the factory.
Inside, we find a black and blue interior that will definitely not beat you up thanks to new seats, new sound deadener, new carpet, new billet knobs, LED lighting, new dashpad, and a new Grant GT steering wheel to go along with a B&M T-bar shift handle.
Pop open the new hood latches, and we find a small block GM V-8 that the owner claims to be a 383 stroker. Aiding that powerful motor are things like new fuel lines, a new fuel tank, a new fan clutch, new spark plugs, a new master cylinder, and even a new fuel filter. A Carter AFB single four-barrel carburetor feeds the V-8, while spent gasses are done away with via a sweet-sounding FlowMaster exhaust that tells everyone they better get their hands up and pay the respect this truck has earned.

The power generated by this 1976 Jeep CJ5's small block is sent through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. That transmission uses a Dana transfer case to send power to all four wheels, which are 15-inch pieces shod in big 33/12.50/15 all-terrain rubber. Front discs and rear drums provide stopping power, while a power booster assists with steering duties. Being able to steer with one hand will come in handy (no pun intended), because your other arm will be very busy returning the thousands of waves you'll undoubtedly receive. Call today!
