Renegade 1 Or 2

Does anyone have a renegade built in september of 1970. I would like to get hood decals but don't know if it came with renegade 1 or renegade 2 decals. It has a 71 title but is a 70 body design. Can anyone help me with the proper decals,

 

RI had a tail gate, RII did not. What tailgate your have should tell you which one your had.

 

Someone here has an early build '71 that actually has the charateristics and decals of the Renegade I. Wish I could remember who it is....

 

Mine does have a tailgate, it is definately a 70 style renegade. I just don't knowe what decals it would of come with because it's titled 71. My guess would be renegade 1 but I'm just not sure.

 

If its was built in September of 1970 it is a 1971 model. Thats the way vehicles have been titled since the 50's. Anything after August is titled the next model year.
Yours may have been a special order that was started and finished late in the year, that would explain the early style and the late title date.

 

[/ATTACH]I do... What color is your jeep

 

My jeep was the lime green and will be returned to that color when the restoration is complete. It was also built in Sept of 70 serial number 8305017 367426. I find it interesting that your renegade 1 has the charcole hood cover I thought that was added to the renegade 2 body style. I'm wondering if that is a charactoristic of a 70 renegade 1 titled as a 71.

 

The differences between the 70 and 71 renegades are:
70 had a tailgate 71 did not
some 70's had rear gas tanks all 71's had rear tanks
71 had the charcoal hood stripe 70 did not
70 had 15x8 KH steel wheels 71 had 15x7 Aluminum slots

I also good to remeber that 71's were built with leftover parts while AMC was taking over the company.
Hope this helps

If you look at camshafters 71 renegade, the thread above yours, you will see that it has the charcole hood. That's why I was wondering renegade 1's built in late 70's and titled 71 have the charcole hood.

 

Nothing suprises me when it comes to things Jeep did. From all the research I've done, Jeep produced 500 70 Renegade I's, 250 Lime Green and 250 Purple. I've never seen or heard from anyone who owns a Purple one. And so far, I've only seen Orange and Yellow 71 R II's. Maybe Jeep stuck some leftover decals on some of the early 71's.

I thought member Littlepurplecj had a purple one, but they do appear to be much more rare than the Lime Green ones.

Also, I have a set of NOS white decals that were used on the purple Renegade I's. I don't think the white decals were used on any other color Renegade.

 

You guys have seen Sparkys write up about this subject haven't you?

Hi, this is my first post here so I hope you all don't mind me jumping in. I have a 1971 titled Renegade 1 built in Sept 1970. Serial #8305037 367528. This jeep has the tail gate, solid orange hood, 225 Dauntless, 3 speed trans with Warn overdrive, chrome front bumper, trim code 999 and everything else on Sparkys list.

My cousin bought this jeep new Nov 70. I have the original invoice and sales receipt along with all service records. I hope the info I posted helps ad to the knowledge of these classics.

If anyone wants any of the info on the orginal paperwork let me know and I will post it.

Rossbos to answer your question this jeep has has the black Renegade I sticker on the hood

 

:iagree:

It would be interesting to see the dealer invoice if you have it.

I'll try add any VIN information you guys can provide to the VIN document also.

Welcome Renegade I!

 

Curious where you discovered the number of "500" Renegade I's and that they were Lime Green or Purple. In the books that I have I have not come across those numbers or the limited color options. Appreciat the info!!

 

Your jeep was the 102nd jeep built after mine, which was also built in Sept. It could have very well have been the next renegade built after mine. Thanks for your input, When I restore it back to it's original color it will defiatly have the charcole hood stripe.

Is the hood stripe a decal or is it painted? Any information and pictures you could post would be a great help.
