Jeep has consistently secured its place among the world's most renowned and respected off-road vehicle manufacturers. Its origins date back to 1944 when it was established to fulfill the United States Army's need for a versatile and rugged all-terrain vehicle during World War II. Now available for acquisition is a rare gem, the 1978 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Levi’s Edition, presented in outstanding condition. This particular CJ-5 showcases the unique and desirable Levi’s Option, a feature that adds to its desirability and collectability. Allowing enthusiasts and collectors to appreciate its timeless appeal and remarkable heritage.
In collaboration with Levis, Jeep created a truly distinctive version of the 1978 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade. This particular Renegade stands out with its vibrant bright red paint finish, which has been fully repainted to restore its original luster. The iconic Jeep grille takes center stage in the front fascia, accompanied by stylish lights and a chrome bumper that reflects its off-road capabilities. The Renegade script adorns the sides of the hood, while the Jeep and Levis logos can be found near the side steps. The original decals have been carefully preserved, and aftermarket sidesteps have been added to enhance accessibility. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by an elegant tan interior, which underwent reupholstering six years ago. To further emphasize the collaboration with Levis, new blue Levis buttons were added, complementing the overall design. The seats feature simulated Levi fashion stitching, adding a touch of style and comfort. The dash boasts jean-style padding, and the top is made of a durable jean-type material. The original steering wheel and dashboard have been retained, while new side and rearview mirrors, lights, and a modern stereo system have been installed, enhancing functionality and convenience.
The 1978 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade gained popularity due to its robust engine performance. Powering this vehicle is a reliable 258 cubic inch inline-6 engine, complemented by a single barrel carburetor. Notably, the original three-speed manual transmission has been replaced with an aftermarket automatic transmission, providing ease of use and smooth gear transitions. For off-road enthusiasts, the CJ-5 Renegade Levi's Edition is equipped with a dual-range transfer case, allowing you to easily switch between 4x2 and 4x4 modes to conquer various terrains. The engine's power output was estimated at 103 horsepower, accompanied by an impressive torque of 201 lb-ft.
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 Americans have always known how to build cars that are just a little more interesting and quirky than their foreign counterparts. And, when it comes to SUVs, Jeeps usually come to mind. This 1980 Jeep CJ-5, fully restored mind you, is a fine specimen of what rolled off of the American production lines during that period. While still reminiscent of the initial Willys Jeep design that dates back nearly 40 years before this, this CJ-5 incorporates a modern take on the classic Jeep design. Allowing the driver to have the full classic Jeep experience while enjoying the open-air cabin and V8 burble (Yes you read that right).
Jeep, originally a utility vehicle that played a pivotal role in the Allied victory, emerged as a symbol of resilience and limitless potential. The roots of the 1983 Jeep CJ-5 Std trace back to the aftermath of World War II. Inspired by the rugged conditions of war-torn landscapes, the M38A1's lineage directly influenced the creation of the CJ-5. With its distinct lack of doors and roof, the CJ-5 encapsulates the concept of open-bodied freedom. Under the guidance of Kaiser, the new corporate owner, CJ-5, underwent meticulous refinements. This stunning example of the 1983 Jeep CJ-5 we have here is an interesting case as the current owner believes its motor to be swapped.
The Jeep CJ series can trace its roots back to the original Willy’s Jeep, the car that mobilized the American forces during the Second World War. Since then, the Jeep CJ has found its way into the hearts of many around the world, who appreciate this quintessential offroader for its rugged abilities and backyard mechanic simplicity. The CJ-7 was introduced in 1976 and would be the last “CJ” Jeep before the introduction of the Wrangler that we know today. Our featured 1978 Jeep CJ-7 is described as a restomod, with a 304ci V8 engine, and a whole host of improvements to be found under the metal — that’s in no small part thanks to the owner reportedly spending over $13,000 in aftermarket work alone!
One of the most iconic off-roaders, the Jeep Wrangler is renowned for its removable doors and top. There’s only one other off-roader on the market today that allows you to do this; that’s the Ford Bronco. Introduced in 1986, the Wrangler comes decked out with Jeep’s signature off-roading capabilities from the factory. This makes it far more useful off-road than any other SUV before it’s been heavily modified. But, Jeep Wranglers can still be modified for even more capability off road, which is what this third generation, JK-series 2015 Jeep Wrangler Ultimate Sport has become. Now, this 71,000-mile trail beast could be yours!
Since 1992, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has been one of America’s signature midsize off-roaders. Calling it an SUV is almost sacrilegious, because Jeep products aren’t just Sport Utility Vehicles. They’re made for the great outdoors, many bear Jeep’s hallowed Trail Rated badge, and come with plenty of off-road kit from the factory. But what happens when there’s a set of owners who want their Grand Cherokee to pack as much horsepower as possible? Enter the Grand Cherokee SRT, with its 475-hp 6.4L HEMI V8. But if that’s still insufficient, check out this specially modified 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT with 59,784 miles on the clock. You’ll have to keep reading to find out what’s been modified, but let us tell you that it’s been reportedly dynoed at 753 wheel horsepower!

People remember the Chevrolet El Camino for one major reason. That reason is the fact that the El Camino is a coupe utility, or ute. The front half is that of a car; the rear half is a pickup truck. However, the El Camino isn’t a rough-riding body-on-frame vehicle. The second generation, from which this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino hails, is adapted from the midsize Chevy Chevelle platform. So, you can expect a suitably car-like ride and handling characteristics, but still get a decent amount of payload capacity thanks to the vehicle’s truck bed. This 90,000-mile 1965 Chevrolet El Camino has received some refurbishment work, and notably, it’s said to have been owned by one family all its life. That makes it a wonderful classic to buy and enjoy.
