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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
The 1973 Jeep CJ-5 stands as a true symbol of classic American off-road culture, and this particular example takes that legacy to an entirely different level with a heavily built, trail-focused setup. Showing just 7,635 miles, it has clearly been maintained as a purpose-driven machine rather than a daily driver. What makes this CJ-5 especially compelling is the depth of its upgrades—from the V8 swap to reinforced axles, steering improvements, and a fully outfitted recovery and lighting system. It’s not just visually aggressive; it’s engineered to perform in serious off-road environments, making it an excellent option for enthusiasts who want a vintage Jeep that’s already been built right instead of starting from scratch.
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.
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.

Riding on Lock Off-Road Lunatic wheels wrapped in 35-inch Toyo Open Country A/T III tires, this Wrangler offers a commanding presence whether cruising city streets or tackling challenging terrain.
If a standard Jeep Gladiator simply isn’t extreme enough, Apocalypse Manufacturing has the answer.
