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 ancestor of today’s wildly popular Jeep Wrangler, the Jeep CJ was born out of the company’s need to adapt to a post-World War environment. The Willys-Overland corporation had successfully supplied military Jeeps to the US and Allied Forces during World War II, and once the War ended, they realized they would soon be out of a customer. So, they took the military Jeep, made some tweaks to make it more civilian-friendly, and the CJ series was born. CJ stands for Civilian Jeep, and Willys-Overland targeted it at agricultural use. This would be tougher than wartime use, because, unlike a machine that would last a few months on average, users would want their vehicle to last for years under punishing conditions. So, a legacy of continuous improvement began, with multiple CJ iterations and a production run that ran until 1986, when the Wrangler took over. In excess of 1.5 million CJs were made, and we’ve got a 1981 Jeep CJ-5 for sale today. This Oklahoma-based off-roader has traveled under 126,000 miles, but it can easily keep going with the usual maintenance.
The iconic Willys Jeep is a reminder of what can happen when military vehicles are the basis of inspiration for something aimed at civilian use. When World War II ended, Willys-Overland knew that the demand for military Jeeps would die. Smartly, they realized that with some updates and adjustments, this battlefield stalwart could offer fantastic utility to aspiring Americans, particularly those engaged in agriculture. Hence, the CJ or Civilian Jeep line-up was born in 1944. It was made until 1986 across multiple iterations, each one with many updates and enhancements over the last. Today, we’ve got a 1958 Willys Jeep CJ-5 from Gulfport, Mississippi for sale. This timeless classic off-roader has received quite a few updates, making it a fine addition to any car collection.
Jeep’s Wrangler can owe its lineage to the Jeep CJ. Introduced in 1944, the CJ or Civilian Jeep was the result of Willys-Overland recognizing that with the War ending, they needed a civilian-focused product to continue with. Interestingly, the CJ variants are built tougher than their military counterparts, because Jeep knew that civilian users would use the vehicles for agricultural and commercial purposes, and use them hard. So, they had to last years, rather than the mere months or even weeks that a military Jeep could last before needing repair or replacement. As time passed by, the CJ series went through many iterations, until the CJ-10A which came in 1984 and bowed out by 1986. Today’s example of a fine CJ is this 1976 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Levi’s Edition from Tallahassee, Florida. The vehicle has received some restoration and renewal, including a new Chevy small-block V8 with under 5,000 miles on it. Let us tell you why you should seriously consider acquiring this distinctive and quirky off-roader.
Jeep has consistently churned out machines that are well-suited to tackle the great outdoors. While navigating through the rough and tough requires a host of features, looking good while doing so makes for an experience that's full circle. Present today is the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X. This off-road powerhouse features limited-edition flair and has reportedly covered over 2,500 miles on its odometer.
The Jeep Gladiator is designed for those who want a Wrangler with a pickup truck-style cargo bed. Since 2020, this model has been on sale and has quickly garnered a loyal following from fans who need this blend of versatility, family friendliness, and above all, sheer off-road chops. Today’s 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave 392 is several cuts above the rest as it comes with extensive modifications, including a HEMI 6.4L 392ci V8. The rest of the vehicle packs a mere 28,000 miles, making it a low-mileage hero that’s ready to serve for years to come. Don’t pass up the opportunity to own this beast.
