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.
This 1966 Jeep CJ-5 presents its purposeful and unmistakable silhouette in a suit of mid blue. Meanwhile, it’s got a new set of white wheels with new tires, and includes all those classic Jeep cues, such as the circular headlamps flanking a seven-bar grille, a short wheelbase with minimal overhangs, and an open-topped design. Accessing the interior of this 1966 Jeep CJ-5 is superbly easy because you can either open a door and step in, or just jump over the doors, or via the rear. Once you’re there, you’ll find black leather-upholstered seats and a minimalistic dashboard. A single dial communicates speed, engine coolant temperature and fuel level. You’ve also got levers for the manual gear shifter, as well as the transfer case. Behind the two seats is a fairly spacious cargo area that can also carry a couple of people in a pinch, although we’re not sure how legal that would be since there aren’t any seats here. If you plan to do this, installing some seats would be a good idea.
This 1966 Jeep CJ-5 gets its go-factor from a thrifty and dependable 225ci Dauntless V6 that is actually a Buick design. Power is sent to the wheels via a 3-speed manual transmission and transfer case. We’re also told that the brakes are new, ensuring that this 1966 Jeep CJ-5 stops as well as it goes.

Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. 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.
If you want to experience a true-blue off-roader with minimal fripperies and no-nonsense capabilities, try a Jeep CJ. CJ stands for Civilian Jeep, and that’s precisely what Willys-Overland had in mind in the mid-1940s. World War II was coming to a close and orders for military Jeeps would soon dry up. So, they turned their attention to the civilian world, specifically the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. The result was the CJ series, which would keep going until 1986. Know what replaced the CJ? The Wrangler! Yes, the Jeep CJ lives in spirit to this day, and you can celebrate that fine legacy by purchasing this 1967 Jeep CJ-5 from Loveland, Colorado. It’s got only under 2,000 miles to its name and is the perfect off-roader for a day (or several) of fun in the jungle, desert, tundra or wherever else you get your outdoors fix.
Whatever happened to Jeep’s famous CJ or Civilian Jeep series from 1948 until 1986? Well, you see, it became the Wrangler! Yes, that’s why the two have some serious commonalities in terms of not only styling, but sheer off-road ability. The Wrangler nameplate took over in 1986, with some comprehensive re-engineering, but the basic principles have remained true to this day. That’s why today’s 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport is a formidable off-road buddy to have. It’s got 118,000 miles and hails from Wichita, Kansas. Plus, it’s part of the TJ or second generation, which came for the 1997 model year.
The Jeep Gladiator is a pickup truck based on Jeep’s popular Wrangler off-roader. Thanks to being heavily based on the Wrangler, this midsize pickup truck looks much the same as its sibling from the front three quarters, comes with the same powertrain choices, and the same off-road hardware too. But it swaps the rear cargo compartment for a five-foot truck bed. That’s all well and good for most, but what if you want a Wrangler with some serious capabilities in case, you know, the world ends as we know it? That’s where a build like this 2023 Jeep Gladiator Apocalypse Hellfire 6x6 enters the scene. Built by SoFlo Customs, this mean machine is up for grabs in Utah with just 1,710 miles. It’s got a 3.0-liter turbodiesel, a custom leather interior and more. Oh, and it’s a true 6x6, meaning all six wheels are powered!
Jeep’s Gladiator offers all those fun features of the Wrangler such as the removable doors and roof in a midsize pickup truck package. Yes, for those who need a Jeep with a cargo bed, this American off-roader maker has got you covered.

It’s a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Hellcat Powered AMW 707 with the AMW 707 Hellcat conversion package. That includes a monster 6.2-liter HEMI with a supercharger tacked on, while you and your passengers luxuriously lounge upon a premium Tuscany leather interior. All this awaits you in Scappoose, Oregon with just 22,500 miles done so far. Tempted? Give in and call us.

As a Volkswagen do Brasil production model, it benefits from extended Type II manufacturing beyond the German era, making it a unique and desirable interpretation of the classic Microbus platform rather than a factory Samba.
