Looking for a 1970-73 CJ5 Renegade

[Heimbig2]

Looking for a stock 70-73 Cj5 renegade. Prefer on the west coast. Have up to $7000 to spend. let me know what you have

[gearhead]

I am on the East coast.
But be sure of what you desire as the 70-71 use the 4cyl F head and V6 Buick motors along with early style steering.
Most had two piece rear axles.
The 72-73 are going to have slightly longer wheel base, AMC straight six or V8 engines, better steering and with DANA 44 rear one piece axles.
All of them are rust buckets.

Cheers, Ed s

thanks- Most actually have one piece rear axles on the 70-71 30 spline axles. That is why I am looking on the west coast there are plenty of low rust examples, just finding them is tough.

Thanks

Yep, try it here on the rust coast!
I was able to find 3 offset 44s with the one piece axles, the 72s w/centered one piece axles are easier to find but getting scarce.
I have been buying selling and parting the early CJs to CJ7s for 30 plus years now.
last early CJ5 I bought was a 57, $200, complete but rusty.
Only buying flat fenders now.
If I run across any decent CJs, I will link you, shipping sucks at about $1200.
