Jeep's much-loved CJ series is a line-up of small, two-door off-roaders that won the hearts of Americans, as well as wherever else it was sold. Debuting in 1944, Willys-Overland created the CJ as a civilianized version of their popular wartime Jeeps. After all, with the war ending, they needed a new source of bread-and-butter. Several iterations were made in sequence, with the CJ-7 appearing in 1976. It ran for ten years, and was even built under license by South Korea's Ssangyong Motor Company. This was common, as Mitsubishi Motors Japan also got the license to build the Jeep CJ-3B much earlier. However, this 1979 Jeep CJ-7 is an all-American product that has received a new heart, and some enhancements. It's perfect if you're in search of a spunky weekend toy for those impromptu off-road forays. The vehicle reportedly has 40,000 miles on it, but the new engine counts less than 1,500 miles.

There's also an aftermarket center console with some storage space, plus much-welcome cup holders.

The Jeep CJ-7 represents one of the last truly analog chapters in Jeep’s storied off-road history, arriving before the Wrangler ushered in a more modern era. Produced from 1976 through 1986, the CJ-7 became one of the most recognizable civilian 4x4s ever built, blending rugged simplicity with removable-top freedom and genuine trail capability. This 1986 Jeep CJ-7, showing 158,355 miles, represents the final model year of the iconic CJ lineage, giving it added appeal among Jeep enthusiasts. Finished in a cheerful Sky Blue over a reupholstered tan leather cabin with a white hard top, this example combines vintage Jeep charm with thoughtful modern usability upgrades, making it a far friendlier classic to enjoy regularly than a bare-bones stock truck.
This gray 1986 Jeep CJ-7 comes from the very last year of Jeep CJ production, a legacy that began in 1944. Willys-Overland knew that with World War II coming to a conclusion, their military Jeep sales would dry up significantly. So, they turned it into a tough and capable civilian off-roader, and the rest, as they say, is history. Produced through several iterations, the CJ finally bowed out in 1986, giving way to a nameplate that we all know and love; Wrangler. So, this 56,081-mile machine from Mount Gilead, Ohio is a piece of history and also includes a removable hardtop with the sale. Yes, one of the CJ and Wrangler’s party pieces is a removable hardtop that can be replaced with a variety of options, including full soft tops, bikini tops, or simply left topless. This machine comes with the 4.2-liter AMC straight six under the hood, paired with a 4-speed manual box and of course, four-wheel drive!
Now here’s a Jeep CJ with a twist, and some punch too! This Hernando-based 1982 Jeep CJ-7 Restomod is up for grabs after a life of just over 97,000 miles. It’s received a custom show-level paint job, a gutsy IROC 350ci V8, a Tremec manual box and more. Coming from the fine Jeep CJ series, it’s the forerunner of today’s Wrangler, and indeed, you can see the visual similarities between the two vehicles. Originally conceived way back in 1948, Jeep’s CJ series served until 1986 when the Wrangler took over, and has always been considered a trailblazer in American off-roaders. This vehicle is no different, and up for grabs right now. It’s a formidable classic off-roader that’s been tastefully modified and upgraded to suit an active and outdoorsy lifestyle. If that sounds like your thing, you know whom to call.

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer occupies a special place in automotive history as one of the original luxury SUVs, long before the segment became the global phenomenon it is today. By 1986, the Grand Wagoneer had already cemented itself as a uniquely American icon, blending genuine off-road capability with upscale appointments in a way few vehicles of its era could match. This particular example shows 69,271 miles and presents as a thoughtfully restored and mechanically upgraded classic that preserves the unmistakable charm of the original while substantially improving drivability and reliability. Finished in Garnet Metallic over a richly appointed burgundy leather cabin, this Grand Wagoneer benefits from a comprehensively upgraded 360ci V8 build featuring forged internals, upgraded induction, improved fuel delivery, and cooling enhancements. Prospective buyers should note that the Carfax report reflects a branded title designation, making transparent due diligence especially important, but for enthusiasts focused on the vehicle itself, this Jeep offers a compelling mix of vintage SUV character, substantial mechanical investment, and unmistakable classic American luxury.
