As early as 1944, when World War II was reaching its tail end, the Willys-Overland Corporation started previewing a civilian version of the military Jeep. The civilian version would be nearly identical to the military one, with body-on-frame construction, rigid live axles, leaf springs, and part-time four-wheel drive. Called the CJ (Civilian Jeep) series, over 1.5 million were sold until 1986 when the Wrangler took over. This 1976 Jeep CJ-5 is one proud member of that massive family and is up for sale with a mere 15,000 miles under its belt. So, if you want to own and drive a classic American hero, here’s your chance to pick one up.
The white coat worn by this 1976 Jeep CJ-5 gives it a dapper appearance, especially when you consider its black canvas doors and roof. That’s because the Jeep is meant to be, first and foremost, a highly outdoorsy vehicle. It’s most at home on the trails, in the bush, or plugging through the mud. And when you take off those doors and the roof, you’ve got an open-air experience that is nearly unmatched by today’s modern SUVs. We’re told that the soft top is new, as are the tires and wheels. Furthermore, the windshield frame is also reported to be a new part. The interior of this 1976 Jeep CJ-5 offers leather seats, but that’s the breadth of its comfort features. You’ll find some gauges for necessary information, a manual gear shift lever and transfer case lever, three pedals, and a steering wheel. The front passenger also gets a grab handle. That’s all, really, and that’s all you need. Because the Jeep CJ series is all about simplicity and only having what’s necessary. That means that if something breaks down in the middle of nowhere, it can easily be fixed.
The 304ci V8 under the hood of this 1976 Jeep CJ-5 is the largest engine that was offered for the CJ-5, and is an AMC unit. The engine powers the wheels via a 3-speed manual gearbox and a two-speed transfer case. The vehicle has received new drum brakes, and sits on an aftermarket lift kit with shock absorbers.

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.

The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep is what became the Wrangler of today.
