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.

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.
This Florida-based 1980 Jeep CJ-7 embodies the rugged spirit and timeless appeal of Jeep’s off-road heritage, representing one of the most authentic examples from the golden era of American 4x4s. It has been carefully preserved and tastefully upgraded to improve reliability and drivability while maintaining its classic character. With its upright stance, removable doors, and unmistakable silhouette, this CJ-7 delivers the raw, open-air freedom that made the model a legend among outdoor enthusiasts. Accompanied by its original build slips, factory window sticker, maintenance records, and full ownership history, it stands as a well-documented, collector-worthy example of a true American icon — a Jeep built for adventure and preserved with pride.
Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. 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.
The Jeep Wrangler is one of just two vehicles available today that allow you to remove the doors and roof for the ultimate open-air experience. You can imagine the engineering that goes into enabling such a feat, and most manufacturers simply don’t bother. But Jeep can’t do that, and you know why? Because since the mid-1940s, they’ve been outfitting enterprising Americans with tough, go-anywhere, do-anything off-roaders. The Wrangler, in fact, can directly trace its lineage to the Jeep CJ series. Today’s 2019 Jeep Wrangler comes from the current JL series and packs a punchy Pentastar V6 under its rather sizable hood. That’s not all, with its automatic gearbox, Fox Racing steering stabilizer and 10,000-pound Warn winch, it’s ready to hit the trails with gusto. Oh, and it can also be your faithful, dependable and comfortable family cruiser too. If you want to get your hands on this sub 50,000-mile machine from Delta, Colorado, talk to us right now.
Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.
The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
