In a landscape teeming with modern off-roaders, each more costly than the last, what they invariably lack, unlike a vintage Jeep, is character. This 1979 Jeep CJ7 restoration embodies that very essence. Evolving from the Willys Jeep's military roots, the CJ7 introduced enhanced power, comfort, and utility, wrapped in the iconic Jeep silhouette. This meticulously restored CJ7 showcases a rebuilt drivetrain, superior component upgrades, and custom enhancements, clocking less than 7,000 miles since its rebuild.
Adorned in an off-white hue, this 1979 Jeep CJ7 restoration exudes a timeless appeal, perfectly complementing its contemporary modifications. Stripping down to its essence by removing the Supertop and soft full doors invites an immersive outdoor experience, further accentuated by a custom-built, frame-mounted six-point roll cage. The front boasts a custom bumper equipped with a 10,000 lb Smittybilt X20 winch and tow shackles, alongside protective differential rock guards, side rail rock plates, and nerf running board side steps. A new fiberglass body tub, metal front fenders, and grille update its aesthetics and durability. The rear setup includes a custom bumper with a tow hitch and trailer wiring, complemented by a swing-out tire rack, luggage rack, and dual jerry can racks with tie-downs. This CJ7 rides on 15-inch wheels shod in 33-inch BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2 tires, elevated by a Rubicon Express four-inch leaf spring lift. The undercarriage, including fender wells and engine bay, has been meticulously treated with a primer, rubberized undercoating, and paint for enhanced protection. The interior is refreshed with new neoprene seat covers and quick-release seatbelts for added safety. Designed for easy maintenance, the cabin includes four floor drain plugs, exterior waterproof speakers, and a new dashboard outfitted with updated gauges.
Powering this CJ7 is a meticulously rebuilt 4.2-liter inline-six engine, overhauled by S&J Engines in Washington. The engine benefits from machined headwork, over-bored aluminum sleeves, a new DUI distributor, and a California-compliant Howell throttle body injection kit. A triple-core aluminum radiator ensures optimal cooling, while a new dump exhaust system efficiently expels gases. Transmission duties are handled by a rebuilt T-18 four-speed, delivering power to a Detroit locker differential with flanged axles and a reinforced axle housing. Front end enhancements include new Warn locking hubs and axles fine-tuned by WFO Concepts, who also supplied custom driveline components, pitman arms, and chassis reinforcements, bolstering its off-road capability and handling.

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 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.

Yup, the good old Silverado comes with a fair bit of history behind it. Today’s 1985 Chevrolet C10 Restomod is a third generation example that’s been extensively resto-modded into a true head-turner. Yes, even a workmanlike truck can be made to be stunningly eye-catching and of course, deeply potent in the performance department.

The quirky Chevy El Camino raised quite a few eyebrows when the model made it to the market in 1959. From the front half, it was a coupe. Then, the rear half blended into a pickup truck with a full cargo bed on offer. The type was called the coupe utility. Most importantly, it didn’t have the typical body-on-frame stance of a pickup truck. For example, the passenger cabin and the truck bed flowed into each other like one smooth silhouette. That’s because the Chevy El Camino was based on car platforms. Initially, the Biscayne served as its basis, then the Chevelle and finally GM’s G-Body platform. Today, we’ve got a 1979 Chevrolet El Camino which hails from the fifth generation of this well-known nameplate. The fifth generation was, sadly, the last, terminating production in 1987, so this vehicle is quite a definitive classic to own and drive. Bearing a decent 115,638 miles, you can see that this Madisonville, Kentucky-based coupe utility has led an interesting life.
