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.
Significant changes to the CJ-5 were made in 1972 with the introduction of new engines by American Motors. The vehicle was increased in length and width and given a new box frame to improve its rigidity. This 1976 Jeep CJ-5 comes from an era where the CJ was at its best, and in its divine condition, it is a truly spectacular offering. This CJ-5 sits proudly in Honolulu Blue paint, a beautiful contrast to the white bumpers and roll cage. Close attention was granted towards the restoration of the interior of this vehicle; its body-colored dash hosts a few essential functionality-related switches along with a speedometer. The passenger side has a chrome-plated glove box, and the two front (and only) seats are tan, matching with the spare tire cover in the rear, giving this Jeep CJ-5 a truly retro feel. Additionally, the owner has fitted in a JVC stereo system that is Bluetooth and AUX compatible, so you always have the option of hooking up your phone to listen to some music.
The power plant of this 1976 Jeep CJ-5 is a 258ci I6, known to Jeep enthusiasts as the AMC I6. The engine uses a cast iron block and cylinder heads as well as overhead valves and, interestingly, hydraulic lifters. The 258ci engine power is rated at around 112hp and it produces around 210lb-ft of torque.
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.
