1979 CJ-5 with 304 V8: When a Jeep Stops Being Disposable
This '79 CJ-5 got the full restoration treatment—rebuilt 304 V8 mated to a three-speed manual, Rough Country suspension, period-correct wheels. It's the kind of restomod that respects what made these things work in the first place, not some overstyled influencer build masquerading as authenticity.
CJ-5s with proper V8 swaps are finally trading at prices that reflect their actual capability instead of nostalgia markup alone.
