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 interior is nothing short of what you would expect in an American vehicle of this age. Everything is built with a purpose. No-nonsense, straight-line styling. Everything is where you would expect to find it. The modern black leather seats with yellow piping contrast well with the overall color combo of the vehicle. The same thing can be said about the black and yellow flat-bottomed steering wheel. And don’t worry if the going gets rough, the CJ-5’s 4-wheel drive lever and other major controls are well within reach of the driver, either on the floor or on the custom painted dashboard panel, making sure that it isn’t left in a sticky situation. The CJ-5’s exterior is eye-catching, to say the least. The majority of the body is painted a bright yellow with black accents wheel arches, and a custom bullbar (with a fully functional 9,000 lbs Warn winch). Let’s not forget that custom painted bonnet. Couple this with its big nobbly 35-inch Super Swamper tires and custom roll cage, and the CJ-5 is bound to be the talking point wherever you take this CJ-5. Be it the middle of the desert, a grand hotel, or even the grocery store.
No small 4 cylinders here. This CJ-5 has been custom-fitted with a 6.2 liter LS Vortec engine with less than 1,500 miles. It doesn’t get much better than this. Moreover, it has also been fitted with the following - A new 350 turbo transmission A new DANA 300 transfer case A new aluminum radiator frame-off restoration completed in 2016 A new 2.5" Flow master dual exhaust New exhaust headers New power 4-wheel disc brakes with steel braided lines Allowing for an exceptionally modern driving experience for such an old vehicle.

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).
Jeep, originally a utility vehicle that played a pivotal role in the Allied victory, emerged as a symbol of resilience and limitless potential. The roots of the 1983 Jeep CJ-5 Std trace back to the aftermath of World War II. Inspired by the rugged conditions of war-torn landscapes, the M38A1's lineage directly influenced the creation of the CJ-5. With its distinct lack of doors and roof, the CJ-5 encapsulates the concept of open-bodied freedom. Under the guidance of Kaiser, the new corporate owner, CJ-5, underwent meticulous refinements. This stunning example of the 1983 Jeep CJ-5 we have here is an interesting case as the current owner believes its motor to be swapped.
The Jeep Cherokee was Jeep’s bread-and-butter SUV for decades, running between 1974 and 2023. The vehicle started off as a body-on-frame design, and transitioned into a unibody type with the introduction of the second generation in 1984. This particular 1999 Jeep Cherokee is a fine second-generation variant that’s undergone an extensive built to turn it into what you see here. As if a standard Cherokee wasn’t potent enough, this one’s got everything turned up to eleven. It comes with just 500 miles since the build and the owner reportedly has receipts too.
Jeep is well-known for making capable off-roaders, but did you know that they also make pickup trucks? The Gladiator is their current contender in the segment, but between 1986 and 1992, the Comanche held the torch. Based on the Cherokee of the time, the Comanche competed in the compact pickup truck segment. Naturally, it packed the same off-road abilities. So if you’re interested in picking up a relatively modern classic pickup truck with a difference, check out this 20,077-mile 1986 Jeep Comanche that we’re offering for sale. The truck comes with all maintenance up to date, for added peace of mind.

Enhanced with top-of-the-line aftermarket upgrades, and displaying just 49,578 miles on the dash, this Jeep is ready to tackle even the toughest environments.
Even the world’s best luxury automaker, Rolls-Royce, wasn’t immune from the SUV tsunami that gripped the automotive world. However, when you’re sitting at the top of the hierarchy of luxury, you’ve got to give it your best – and then some. That’s why Rolls-Royce took their own sweet time, only entering the luxury SUV game in 2018 with the Cullinan. Named after the largest rough diamond ever discovered to date, the Cullinan is the brand’s first SUV, and their first all-wheel drive vehicle. And as you’d expect, it’s every bit a Rolls-Royce. Don’t believe us? Buy this 2021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge with a smidge less than 20,000 miles on the clock, and you’ll never settle for anything less.
Known as the 'go everywhere vehicle,' the Land Rover Defender is one of the most utilitarian and iconic vehicles in the world's automotive history and remains a relevant name today.
