The Jeep CJ-5 is one of the original WW2 Willys Jeeps’ closest relatives. It takes the philosophy of simple, go anywhere do anything transport, and helped set the trend for every generation of the Wrangler that followed. Our featured 1974 Jeep CJ-5 is an excellent specimen, with a 350ci V8 engine powering it, and a three-speed manual transmission offering plenty of muscle for the old-school Jeep’s iconic platform.
This 1974 Jeep CJ-5 manages to look unassuming enough to the untrained eye, but it packs a punch with some choice upgrades, while retaining its usable modern classic status in the automotive community. You’ll notice chrome wheels wrapped in chunky Maxxis mud terrain tires. The short wheelbase and bikini top give the CJ-5 an aggressive stance, maintaining the link to those bare-bones military troop carriers, while giving a modicum of protection from the elements. Inside, you’ll find a black-trimmed cabin with a four-spoke steering wheel and large centrally-mounted speedometer. The interior is minimalistic but true to the CJ-5’s spirit, designed for easy use whether on- or off-road.
Powering this Jeep is a 350ci V8 fitted with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, delivering far more muscle than the CJ-5 originally offered. The engine is paired with a three-speed manual transmission, adding to the driving involvement. With four-wheel drive, this CJ-5 stays true to its off-road roots, ensuring capability across a variety of terrains.
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.

The Jeep Wrangler is one of just two vehicles available today that allow you to remove the doors and roof for the ultimate open-air experience. You can imagine the engineering that goes into enabling such a feat, and most manufacturers simply don’t bother. But Jeep can’t do that, and you know why? Because since the mid-1940s, they’ve been outfitting enterprising Americans with tough, go-anywhere, do-anything off-roaders. The Wrangler, in fact, can directly trace its lineage to the Jeep CJ series. Today’s 2019 Jeep Wrangler comes from the current JL series and packs a punchy Pentastar V6 under its rather sizable hood. That’s not all, with its automatic gearbox, Fox Racing steering stabilizer and 10,000-pound Warn winch, it’s ready to hit the trails with gusto. Oh, and it can also be your faithful, dependable and comfortable family cruiser too. If you want to get your hands on this sub 50,000-mile machine from Delta, Colorado, talk to us right now.

The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
