Fun fact; the CJ in Jeep CJ stands for Civilian Jeep! By 1944, Willys-Overland had started planning a civilian variant of the popular military Jeep that had revolutionized battlefields all across the theaters of World War II. They knew that the War was coming to an end, and so would their bread-and-butter product. So, by 1945, the CJ-2A was introduced and sold over 214,000 units in just four years. CJ-1 and CJ-2 were prototypes and thus not available to the public. The series continued for decades, with the CJ-7 coming in 1976. This particular 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade is thus one of over 379,000 units built over a 11-year production run. Bearing 7,101 miles on the odometer, this vehicle resides in Anderson, South California, and is waiting for a new custodian.
The attractive blue and silver two-tone paint job of this 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade showcases the vehicle’s iconic style and design that changed little over the decades. We’re told that there’s a new convertible top, and that the floors have been replaced as well. There’s also a 4-inch lift kit to accommodate those mega 36-inch tires that further enhance the vehicle’s already impressive off-road abilities. The headlamps also appear to be upgraded LED units for better visibility and reliable lighting. The interior of this 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade is in excellent condition, with original-style gauges, and push-pull controls for the heating and ventilation system. There are two low-back seats upholstered in black leather, and a four-spoke aftermarket steering wheel. You won’t find any powered amenities here; the door locks, mirrors and windows are all manually operated. After all, that means fewer things to go wrong when you’re out and about. Behind the two seats lies a spacious cargo area with a bright red tool box as well.
This 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade uses a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated in-line six-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and two-speed transfer case. We’re told that the carburetor, as well as the brakes are new, enhancing reliability and drivability of this classic off-roader.

Jeep’s CJ series was born out of the need to keep in business. Willys-Overland knew that since World War II was ending, so would their lucrative military contract for Jeeps. So, they created the Civilian Jeep – CJ, get it? It was meant for usage that was even tougher than a battlefield. This meant use at the hands of farmers, construction workers, manufacturing facility operators and other harsh environments, for years on end, with minimal maintenance and often driven hard too. The CJ was made across several iterations from 1944 to 1986 before giving rise to a familiar name – Wrangler. Yes, the Jeep Wrangler can directly trace its lineage to the CJ series, and the resemblance is uncanny too. Here, we have a 1986 Jeep CJ-7 for sale from Henderson, Nevada. This fine machine comes with the 304ci AMC V8, a reupholstered interior and a decent 104,953 miles on the odometer.
When Willys-Overland created the Jeep back in 1944, they envisioned it to be a tough agricultural tool, not the off-road sensation that it is today. World War II was ending and the company knew that very soon, the military wouldn’t be ordering Jeeps like pizza anymore. They had to change tactics, and they pivoted towards the civilian market. CJ stands for Civilian Jeep in fact. The CJ series ran until 1986 when an even more famous name replaced it – Wrangler! Yes, this is where your Wrangler gets its heritage from. If you’re interested in adding to the family, or a fan of classic Jeeps, we have a nice 1976 Jeep CJ-7 for sale from Atlanta. It’s got just over 77,000 miles on it and comes with the Renegade decal package plus an aftermarket Kenwood head unit. Moreover, it’s got an automatic gearbox, making it ideal for those who can’t remember or never learned how to drive stick.
The original Military Jeep by Willys-Overland morphed into the Jeep CJ series by 1944, and the Jeep brand as we know it was born. Produced until 1986, the CJ subsequently became the Wrangler, and you can definitely see the resemblance between the two models. Interestingly, the CJ was born out of a need to stay commercially relevant. With World War II coming to an end, Willys-Overland knew that the military would no longer need Jeeps in the massive numbers that they were consuming them during wartime. A military Jeep in a battlefield would have a lifespan of weeks or, at best, months – not years and decades. So, they came up with the CJ or Civilian Jeep, targeted primarily at the agricultural sector but in no time, other segments and enthusiastic off-roaders were snapping them up as well. The CJ went through many upgrades and iterations, with the CJ-7 ruling the Jeep roost between 1976 and 1986. Today, we’ve got a Kansas-based 1985 Jeep CJ-7 for sale. This vehicle has received a comprehensive makeover and packs under 5,000 miles since then. Highlights include a custom fiberglass body, a reupholstered interior, an aftermarket audio player and so much more.

Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended.

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.
