Known popularly as the first ever mass-produced four-wheel drive vehicle, the CJ, short for 'civilian Jeep,' was introduced in 1945 and continued in production for a further 41 years. In 1954, the CJ-5 made its debut. One can argue that it was the most influential CJ of all time, as its success kept in production for three decades thereafter, even after new models were released. For those looking to own an iconic piece of 4WD history, congratulations, your time has come in the form of this beautiful 1976 Jeep CJ-5.
