The iconic Willys Jeep is a reminder of what can happen when military vehicles are the basis of inspiration for something aimed at civilian use. When World War II ended, Willys-Overland knew that the demand for military Jeeps would die. Smartly, they realized that with some updates and adjustments, this battlefield stalwart could offer fantastic utility to aspiring Americans, particularly those engaged in agriculture. Hence, the CJ or Civilian Jeep line-up was born in 1944. It was made until 1986 across multiple iterations, each one with many updates and enhancements over the last.

The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep was born out of a corporate need to survive. Willys-Overland used to supply the US Military with Jeeps for World War II. In 1944, they realized that with the War due to end, their lucrative orders would also dry up. So, they turned their attention to an America that was soon due to experience an agricultural and industrial boom, and decided to adapt the military Jeep into the CJ. This proved tougher said than done, because military Jeeps had lifespans of months or even weeks. They were throw-away items. A civilian Jeep, on the other hand, would also experience harsh use but be expected to last for years and even decades. Nevertheless, they did it, and the Jeep CJ was made from 1945 until 1986 across several iterations. Then, the successor gained a name that we know to this day; Wrangler. So, why not celebrate that glorious legacy and buy this 1978 Jeep CJ-5 that’s up for sale in Florida? With a 258ci straight six, a custom paint job, Bilstein performance shocks and more goodies, this is an off-road buddy that will never let you down.

Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. So, they switched gears and made the Jeep CJ, a tough, no-nonsense off-roader aimed at farmers and tradespersons who needed a simple vehicle with guts and four-wheel drive. This vehicle comes from the CJ-5 era which ran between 1954 and 1983. With its naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox and aftermarket exhaust system, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 has only done 167 miles since its thorough makeover.
Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.

Chevy’s El Camino is the result of what happens when a sports coupe and a pickup truck have a one-night stand. What you see here in this Emerald Green 1983 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod is the results of five generations of this quirky pairing, that began in 1959, when Chevy’s engineers decided to combine the unibody construction and two-door passenger cabin of a sports coupe with the utility of a pickup truck – hence the name of the segment, Coupe Utility. Today’s Coupe Utility comes from Ardmore, Oklahoma and is quite extensively resto-modded. It’s got a potent 383 Stroker under the hood paired with an automatic gearbox, a refreshed interior, some catchy wheels plus more.
