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.

It has a longer wheelbase and more creature comforts, transforming it into a vehicle that can be used daily.

With just 14248 miles on its odometer, this nippy off-roader is ready to bring adventure to your life.
The Civilian Jeep, or Willys Jeep CJ is what eventually became the Wrangler that we know and love to this day. Conceived in 1948 as a civilian variant to the popular military Jeep, the CJ ran until 1986. The CJ-7 variant was one of the latest at the time, made between 1976 and 1986. That’s what we have here today, a 1985 Jeep CJ-7 for sale from Burnsville, Minnesota.

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.
A fun-loving off-roader for those who truly enjoy exploring the great outdoors, Jeep’s Wrangler can directly trace its lineage to the Jeep CJ line-up from 1948 onwards. In fact, it’s not hard to see the family resemblance between the Jeep CJ and the latest JL-Series Wrangler. Case in point, we have a nicely modified 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport for sale from Slidell, Louisiana for sale today. With a mere 55,850 miles, this four-wheel drive off-road beast could be yours if you desire a machine that can keep up with your thirst to explore the unexplored, the desire to traverse the wilderness, the will to create new paths.
This 1968 Kaiser-Jeep M109A3 is built on the legendary M35 2½-ton 6x6 military chassis and has been thoughtfully converted into an RV-style expedition vehicle. Originally designed as a military service or communications body, the enclosed rear cabin now functions as a practical camper and mobile workshop space. Finished in military camouflage and riding on aggressive 11.00-20 tires, it retains its rugged, utilitarian presence while offering significantly more versatility than a standard cargo-bed “Deuce and a Half.” This is not a lightweight overland build — it is a true military-grade platform adapted for civilian adventure use.
This 1973 Chevrolet Cheyenne C20 Super Pickup isn’t your typical third-gen C/K Series classic pickup truck. It may have the stock 454ci V8 under the hood, which was the largest gas engine available for this era, but there’s a host of mods to make it a beast. These include aftermarket lifters, rockers, pushrod, exhaust, and more. With a nice coat of black paint and some aftermarket wheels, this truck even includes a banging stereo system for those tailgate parties, on the trails, or in town. It’s currently up for grabs in Castle Rock, Washington, with under 35,000 miles to its name. Don’t delay if you’re interested; many others will be too.
This 1969 Ford Bronco Restomod combines the iconic styling of the first-generation Bronco with modern performance and thoughtful upgrades that improve comfort and usability. Finished in white with a black interior and a contrasting black removable hardtop, the truck maintains the classic early Bronco aesthetic while benefiting from a fully modern drivetrain. Power comes from a 5.0L Gen 3 Coyote V8 producing approximately 480 horsepower, paired with a 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission and a capable 4x4 drivetrain. With its blend of vintage design and contemporary mechanicals, this Bronco delivers significantly improved performance and drivability compared to the original while retaining the character that made these early SUVs so desirable.
Ford’s famous Bronco came in 1966, and represented another Greatest Hit for the Blue Oval. Following hot on the heels of the Mustang, the Bronco redefined off-roaders, turning them into what we know as Sport Utility Vehicles today. That is to say, they still had off-road abilities, but weren’t as bone-jarring or devoid of fancy features as traditionally built. Now, the Bronco is in its sixth generation and has grown into a five-door family SUV as well as the typical three-door style that it carried for the first five generations. Today’s 1972 Ford Bronco Restomod is a fine first-generation example, three-door body and all, but it’s a bit different from a stock first-gen Bronco. You see, there’s a modern Coyote V8 under the hood, some nice creature comforts and upgrades here and there. All that could be yours, with just 1,100 miles on the odometer after all the extensive work done. The vehicle is currently resting in Vegas if you’re interested in making it yours.
