Video actually made me sad, I worked at an AMC/Jeep, Pontiac and Cadillac dealership in the late 70s and your shop reminded me of the showroom and car lots of the dealer! CJs were just as hot as Trans Ams in those days so they sold a lot of CJs! spent days working with Jeeps, gassing up, prepping new Jeeps, washing and moving them around, etc. Really miss that old place after these 40+ years. I bought a 2-year-old '77 CJ7 from them with the 304, 3 speed, the heavy-duty suspension package (trailering package-extra leaf springs, thicker radiator and heavy-duty alternator) Hardtop and the 60/40 bench seat! Loved that seat, we four wheeled with 5 on board all the time and it was great with your sweetheart snugged up beside you straddling the shifter. Wish I had the 60/40 seat in my current '80 CJ7 Renegade but I had found a set of N.O.S. bucket seats and back seat new online for it instead as I restored it back to week one condition. I still had my original bikini top, saddle bags and SuperJeep spare tire cover from my'77 and added them to the current '80. Love your video and channel.
People had been buying them up for almost 30 years and loved em. Then a story comes out on TV that they're unsafe and roll, and over night they became too dangerous. You'd think if it were true, they would have figured it out at some point over 26 years. Even back then the media was our puppeteer. Crazy. I have a stock 64 and it's my daily driver most the summer, I love it.
Its the infantilization of people in general. The notion that people have to be told what is safe and what is not. That people are not smart enough to make their own choices and not mature enough to accept the consequences of those choices. Imagine how different things would be these days if people weren't nanny stated into being weak and fearful?
@@jaredmiller8740 I agree. The "trust the expert, follow the science" mentality. I'm all about hearing what experts have to say, but I don't go along with it just because they claim to be an expert. Covid was a horrifying reality check of the state of our society. It's so obvious what's happening around the world and how the media is handed a script of what to say and the agenda to push. I love the compilations of every host across all channels saying the exact same phrase verbatim. I can't understand how so many people are totally blind to it. There's some good change happening right now. People are waking up, especially the minorities which thrills me. They've been used as pawns and lied to for too long. I want to see them rise up and be a part of society
Good video! I drove a Jeep when I was in the army from 70 to 72. Then I had a 79 silver anniversary Jeep Renegade with a 304V8 with headers. Then I had a brand new 2002 yellow jeep CJ7. I miss all of them😢
Wow that CJ-5 Golden Eagle is insane! The AMC V8 sounds like a muscle car caged animal. My wife complains when I get on the '05 TJ Rocky Mtn 4.0L with the Banks cat back exhaust. And that's nothing compared to this amazing sound. One of my favorite Jeep videos, well done! O|||||||O Only in a 2 Dr '41 - '06
My first Jeep was a 1959 CJ-5. It had the battery compartment on the cowl along with a snorkel opening on the hood with a filler piece in place just like the M38-A1. The previous owner removed the L-Head engine and dropped a 327 with a factory stock 2 BBL carb from a Corvette. Talk about a rocket! I have also owned a stock 1947 CJ-2A and a 1977 CJ-7 with the AMC 304 V-8 with standard three speed. One thing you did not mention was the older Jeeps (flat fenders) could have a heater in them, but NO way to defrost any moisture from the windshield. All the round fender jeeps had pass-through vents built into the windshield that was easy to connect vent hose to and have no vision problems if you have a full top on in the winter with the heater running. I still enjoyed the CJ-2A as my most favorite. But I did like having the defrost that the CJ-5 & CJ-7 had. I sure would enjoy a day in your garage just looking at all those jeeps! Love your vlogs! I did not hesitate to Subscribe and hit the "like" thumbs up!
I had my 79 CJ5 (built 304, T-150, Dana 44 rear) for 25 years. I loved that thing and you're 100% correct, it would and could get away from you real easy! Mine had factory tilt, dash pad, pwr brakes and steering so it was a rare beast.
Hi from Argentina. Im propierty of Jeep IKA industry Kaiser Argentina 1968. This video help me for know difference between two models. Thanks you !!! The Jeep with V8 Is amazing ! Really feel the sound of the horse power !!!
Thanks! So awesome, you daily your CJ-5. I had a yellow Renegade, Levi CJ-5, with the 304 many years ago. It was a great Jeep that got me through a lot. 😀
Wow man this is one heck of a collection! And my 2001 TJ doesn't like anything above 70 mph so not much has changed over the years. Also my first car was an 84 Renegade that loved to beat the hell out of me when i would drive it on long trips. Better seats only went so far!
Really appreciate the video very informative! I have a 1980 cj 5. I have always wondered if my jeep had the tire mounted on the back since it does have a tailgate. This video pretty much answered my question!
Glad you liked it! 👍 Can you send me pictures of the tailgate? I would like to see if it's a factory setup. It was not uncommon for people to add them and delete them. My email is zach@thejeepguy.biz
Muchas gracias por tu explicación , te felicito por el trabajo que haces , todo lo que dices en tu video en cuanto a las diferencias entre unos modelos y otros me ayudo a entender muchas cosas ya que he tenido 2 jeeps , el primero un willyz m38 y ahora tengo un cj5 que estoy reparando . Te mando un fuerte abrazo y un cordial saludo desde Jalisco, México !
I’ve had several, my current toy is a ‘74 304, my only complaint with ‘72 was the darn cable clutch they went to that year, it was a real pain. I ended up welding a bracket onto frame and going to direct mechanical connection like other years. Of course this was back when there was still jeeps at the junk yards for parts.
Great content. thanks for info. very entertaining. I don’t know all that much about Jeeps. I am really happy for you in appreciation of the passion it requires for a wonderful collection like you have. -TrashyTodd
My first was a 78 CJ5 Levis Renegade package, and them a 1983 CJ5 Renegade. My question, i am seeing alot of jeeps fixed up, repainted etc, and there are no "Renegade" graphics. Did Jeep make any jeeps- 1978-1986 CJ5's and CJ7's with no logo's? I always assumed all these CJ5/ CJ7 from these years had Renegade graphics.
Most did not have a package but the Renegade and Laredo are the most common packages. Renegade is probably the most common sticker package we see, it was done on the CJ series from 1972 until 1986.
As I remember it, the "Willys" stamped tailgate ended in the early 50s. It was then blank for a few years, and then in the early 60s, "Jeep" in lower case was added. Until the tailgate was changed again in 76.
I had to check to see if this was my comment from sometime in the past! I also have a 64 in the same condition. The body is solid, but it looks like it has been dropped forged. I don't have to worry about denting it though!
Watched it twice. You popped the hood on the ‘60 and went over engine details but couldnt catch watch the engine under the ‘81 is. Can you remake the vid please?
Nice jeeps, however the f head was not 90 hp it was an over rated 75hp. And with a overdrive you can do a blistering 63mph with a tailwind. And split gears uphill.
Yes you have a lot of pretty jeeps and I appreciate the look see at them,however I didn't see a FRANKENSTEIN addiction, I had a 1978 CJ5 RENEGADE blue LEVI addiction, it died all of a sudden, now I have a 1978 FRANKENSTEIN addiction CJ5 and yes it a NIGHTMARE for auto parts pepole, some do run ,others lurn ther training don't work, O well. With all those pretty jeeps you still don't have enough to put together 1 FRANKENSTEIN jeep
If we went over every detail of the Jeeps, the videos would be 3 hours long, and no one would watch. Most jeep people know the only V8 the CJ came with is the 304, so we felt no further explanation is needed.

Sweet Jeeps! I daily my '77CJ5 w/ a 304 and I never get tired of hearing that amc v8.
Thanks! So awesome, you daily your CJ-5. I had a yellow Renegade, Levi CJ-5, with the 304 many years ago. It was a great Jeep that got me through a lot. 😀

Would you mind sharing your exhaust setup on that white one?
Wow man this is one heck of a collection! And my 2001 TJ doesn't like anything above 70 mph so not much has changed over the years. Also my first car was an 84 Renegade that loved to beat the hell out of me when i would drive it on long trips. Better seats only went so far!
I think of the CJ5 as the last true Jeep.

Great video! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Interesting! I have a ‘72 CJ5 (first of the intermediate years) and can see several factors of it being a transitional model.
I’ve had several, my current toy is a ‘74 304, my only complaint with ‘72 was the darn cable clutch they went to that year, it was a real pain. I ended up welding a bracket onto frame and going to direct mechanical connection like other years. Of course this was back when there was still jeeps at the junk yards for parts.
Wow thanks you. I am watching everyday
Thank you for watching!!
60 minutes also rig the 73-87 chevy about the gas tank exploding
I thought I had a Jeep issue, but seeing your collection.... I see I'm a long way from being categorized or diagnosed. 😁
Thank you! I'm glad I can provide relief for guys and gals across the globe. 😆
I need to get my 304 sounding like that!
Me too. My has burnt out thrush mufflers on fender well headers. Too loud!!!
Had a 91 YJ with a 4.0 and a 5 speed. I regretted it ever since the day I traded it in. Hopefully grabbing up a 73 CJ-5 to work on soon.
Great content. thanks for info. very entertaining. I don’t know all that much about Jeeps. I am really happy for you in appreciation of the passion it requires for a wonderful collection like you have. -TrashyTodd
Thank you for the compliment and for watching!
Awesome video, never seen so many jeeps in such great condition.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the adherence to preservation and the dramatic contrast in performance! ....and what a breath taking collection overall. Jeep Valhalla. 😂
Thank you for the compliment and for watching!
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
My old 66 CJ5 had a 60/40 split front bench seat.
Nice collection. Pick a couple other variants for a video on them . V8 sounds great. Thx for the post.
Thanks for watching!
my first car was a 1957 CJ 5 with the F head and 6 volt system
Cool jeeps

What size tires are on that white cj5
Nice collection of jeeps
Thanks 👍
Awesome video thanks! 304?
Thank you, and yes, the 304. 😊
My cousin had a V8 CJ5 in 82 and I drove it once and it was scary.
I am restoring a 1966 CJ5. Is this the last year for the Willys tailgate?
As I remember it, the "Willys" stamped tailgate ended in the early 50s. It was then blank for a few years, and then in the early 60s, "Jeep" in lower case was added. Until the tailgate was changed again in 76.
Just got an all original unrestored 64 cj5, wish I'd have gotten a V8 now....Dang!
I had to check to see if this was my comment from sometime in the past! I also have a 64 in the same condition. The body is solid, but it looks like it has been dropped forged. I don't have to worry about denting it though!
60 Minutes did to the CJ-5 what Consumer Reports did to the Suzuki Samurai.
Need a comparison video on the cj5 and m38a1
That sounds like a good idea. I'll put it on the list.
Sooo.. we don't get to see the engine on the Golden ??
Watched it twice. You popped the hood on the ‘60 and went over engine details but couldnt catch watch the engine under the ‘81 is.
Can you remake the vid please?
Sorry, I forgot to go over that. It's the factory AMC V8 304.
Nice jeeps, however the f head was not 90 hp it was an over rated 75hp. And with a overdrive you can do a blistering 63mph with a tailwind. And split gears uphill.
Yes you have a lot of pretty jeeps and I appreciate the look see at them,however I didn't see a FRANKENSTEIN addiction, I had a 1978 CJ5 RENEGADE blue LEVI addiction, it died all of a sudden, now I have a 1978 FRANKENSTEIN addiction CJ5 and yes it a NIGHTMARE for auto parts pepole, some do run ,others lurn ther training don't work, O well. With all those pretty jeeps you still don't have enough to put together 1 FRANKENSTEIN jeep
Is it me, or did not even go over the engine except it was a V8 and sounded good?
If we went over every detail of the Jeeps, the videos would be 3 hours long, and no one would watch. Most jeep people know the only V8 the CJ came with is the 304, so we felt no further explanation is needed.
3:10 *parking brake
I see you have a m715
Automatics weren't available in cj5s didn't start tell cj7
12v didnt come out in jeeps tell 58
did not show the engine on the 81
