1978 Jeep CJ-5



The 1978 Jeep CJ5 offered here blends classic off-road heritage with tasteful upgrades and a striking custom finish. Power comes from a 360ci V8 equipped with MSD Blaster ignition, Edelbrock intake manifold, Edelbrock carburetor, and long-tube headers feeding into side pipes. Cooling is managed by a high-performance aluminum radiator, and the engine is paired with a 3-speed manual transmission.
The exterior features a fiberglass tub refinished in a fresh burnt orange paint, accented by chrome front and rear bumpers, grille, mirrors, and trim. A lift kit provides clearance for 35-inch tires mounted on polished Mickey Thompson Classic MT wheels. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums, with a 3.55 gear ratio in the axles.
Inside, the cabin is clean and well-appointed, with upholstery and carpet in excellent shape. A Kenwood Bluetooth head unit drives a Kicker sound system powered by a 4-channel 60-watt amplifier, adding modern convenience to this vintage Jeep.
This CJ5 combines period-correct character with upgraded performance, a fresh look, and practical enhancements, ready for use on or off the road.
