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.

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.
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.
This 1976 Jeep CJ-7 represents the classic open-air off-road platform that helped define Jeep’s reputation for rugged capability. Known for its short wheelbase, simple mechanical design, and removable top configuration, the CJ-7 became one of the most recognizable off-road vehicles of the late 1970s. With over 96,000 miles shown, this example has been updated with a number of cosmetic and functional upgrades, combining the traditional Jeep driving experience with refreshed components and custom styling.
This beige 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sport from Minoa isn’t like your typical off-roader. Nope, you can pop off its doors and top and go off-roading in open-air style. That’s one of the distinctive features that the Wrangler continues to offer to this day, something that you can only get on one other SUV. Furthermore, with its 505-horsepower 6.4-liter HEMI under the hood, you can get around pretty quickly. This go-anywhere family hauler is the work of AMW (America’s Most Wanted) and currently shows under 10,000 miles on the clock so far. According to the owner, the vehicle has about 118,00 miles on its original body. So, are you ready to make it yours?

This 1983 Chevrolet El Camino combines the practicality of a pickup with the driving character of a classic muscle car, now enhanced with a performance-focused drivetrain. Showing 120,885 miles, this example has been modified with a 383ci stroker V8, giving the iconic car-truck platform substantially more performance than its factory configuration. The El Camino has long been appreciated for its unique blend of coupe styling and pickup utility, and this example builds on that legacy with a series of aftermarket upgrades that enhance both its performance and driver engagement.
Now here’s a golden oldie of the off-road community. This red and white 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45 is a long wheelbase pickup variant that’s perfect for someone who’s a fan of classic pickups, Japanese vehicles and off-roading. It’s now available in Miami with 124,000 miles on the clock, but you wouldn’t guess based on appearance alone. Yup, this pristine machine comes with a 3.6-liter straight six diesel engine under the hood, a manual gearbox, and a part-time four-wheel drive system. Thanks to its body on frame construction, it’s pretty versatile in the rough stuff too. Indeed, this vehicle’s clean and fresh appearance may lead you to believe otherwise, but this is one beauty that can turn into a beast if needed.
This 1973 Chevrolet Cheyenne C20 Super Pickup isn’t your typical third-gen C/K Series classic pickup truck. It may have the stock 454ci V8 under the hood, which was the largest gas engine available for this era, but there’s a host of mods to make it a beast. These include aftermarket lifters, rockers, pushrod, exhaust, and more. With a nice coat of black paint and some aftermarket wheels, this truck even includes a banging stereo system for those tailgate parties, on the trails, or in town. It’s currently up for grabs in Castle Rock, Washington, with under 35,000 miles to its name. Don’t delay if you’re interested; many others will be too.
