Known popularly as the first ever mass-produced four-wheel drive vehicle, the CJ, short for 'civilian Jeep,' was introduced in 1945 and continued in production for a further 41 years. In 1954, the CJ-5 made its debut. One can argue that it was the most influential CJ of all time, as its success kept in production for three decades thereafter, even after new models were released. For those looking to own an iconic piece of 4WD history, congratulations, your time has come in the form of this beautiful 1976 Jeep CJ-5.
Significant changes to the CJ-5 were made in 1972 with the introduction of new engines by American Motors. The vehicle was increased in length and width and given a new box frame to improve its rigidity. This 1976 Jeep CJ-5 comes from an era where the CJ was at its best, and in its divine condition, it is a truly spectacular offering. This CJ-5 sits proudly in Honolulu Blue paint, a beautiful contrast to the white bumpers and roll cage. Close attention was granted towards the restoration of the interior of this vehicle; its body-colored dash hosts a few essential functionality-related switches along with a speedometer. The passenger side has a chrome-plated glove box, and the two front (and only) seats are tan, matching with the spare tire cover in the rear, giving this Jeep CJ-5 a truly retro feel. Additionally, the owner has fitted in a JVC stereo system that is Bluetooth and AUX compatible, so you always have the option of hooking up your phone to listen to some music.
The power plant of this 1976 Jeep CJ-5 is a 258ci I6, known to Jeep enthusiasts as the AMC I6. The engine uses a cast iron block and cylinder heads as well as overhead valves and, interestingly, hydraulic lifters. The 258ci engine power is rated at around 112hp and it produces around 210lb-ft of torque.
Willys-Overland, makers of the original World War II military Jeep knew that with the War ending, they’d have to turn to civilian vehicles. Hence the arrival of the Jeep CJ series in 1944. The series progressed from CJ-1 to CJ-10A, in a production run that spanned 1944 and 1986, and by the time the Jeep CJ was replaced by the Wrangler, Jeep had built over 1.5 million examples. Hence, finding a Jeep CJ isn’t hard, but you’d better pick a fully-restored example, such as this 1966 Jeep CJ-5. The current owner says that the engine and gearbox have been rebuilt, with the engine packing less than 200 miles since then. Impressively, this car is entirely brand new! So, it’s basically a turn-key classic that’s waiting for a new owner.
As early as 1944, when World War II was reaching its tail end, the Willys-Overland Corporation started previewing a civilian version of the military Jeep. The civilian version would be nearly identical to the military one, with body-on-frame construction, rigid live axles, leaf springs, and part-time four-wheel drive. Called the CJ (Civilian Jeep) series, over 1.5 million were sold until 1986 when the Wrangler took over. This 1976 Jeep CJ-5 is one proud member of that massive family and is up for sale with a mere 15,000 miles under its belt. So, if you want to own and drive a classic American hero, here’s your chance to pick one up.
The Americans have always known how to build cars that are just a little more interesting and quirky than their foreign counterparts. And, when it comes to SUVs, Jeeps usually come to mind. This 1980 Jeep CJ-5, fully restored mind you, is a fine specimen of what rolled off of the American production lines during that period. While still reminiscent of the initial Willys Jeep design that dates back nearly 40 years before this, this CJ-5 incorporates a modern take on the classic Jeep design. Allowing the driver to have the full classic Jeep experience while enjoying the open-air cabin and V8 burble (Yes you read that right).
The Jeep Wrangler was introduced in 1986 as a compact off-roader with some creature comforts and family-friendly features. Now on the fourth generation, the Wrangler remains one of just two off-roaders with some special features. We’ll tell you what those are in just a bit. If you’re somewhat more of a classic Wrangler person, this second-generation 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is a great place to start. Extensively modified for even more capable off-road performance, this sub-60,000-mile vehicle currently resides in Mabank, Texas.
Jeep rose to become America’s most popular maker of off-roaders through a rich history that started way back in 1948. Along the way, they also introduced some luxury-oriented models, such as the Grand Wagoneer. Debuting in 1984 as a more plush and well-equipped variant of Jeep’s Wagoneer, the Grand Wagoneer that we have today is a fine example from 1991. Moreover, this 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer comes with just 74,410 miles on the clock. So grab yourself a slice of Jeep history while you can; it’s a vehicle that can even act as your daily driver if desired.

The GMC Jimmy is the sister vehicle of the Chevrolet Blazer. Both vehicles are basically SUV variants of the Chevy C/K-series of pickup trucks, and offer a more family-friendly value proposition. Until 1976, these SUVs also came with a removable hardtop, although it wasn’t as straightforward to remove as a typical convertible top. If you’d like to own one of these iconic vehicles, check out this 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD that’s for sale right now in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The vehicle has reportedly covered 58,000 miles so far.
