The Americans have always known how to build cars that are just a little more interesting and quirky than their foreign counterparts. And, when it comes to SUVs, Jeeps usually come to mind. This 1980 Jeep CJ-5, fully restored mind you, is a fine specimen of what rolled off of the American production lines during that period. While still reminiscent of the initial Willys Jeep design that dates back nearly 40 years before this, this CJ-5 incorporates a modern take on the classic Jeep design. Allowing the driver to have the full classic Jeep experience while enjoying the open-air cabin and V8 burble (Yes you read that right).
The interior is nothing short of what you would expect in an American vehicle of this age. Everything is built with a purpose. No-nonsense, straight-line styling. Everything is where you would expect to find it. The modern black leather seats with yellow piping contrast well with the overall color combo of the vehicle. The same thing can be said about the black and yellow flat-bottomed steering wheel. And don’t worry if the going gets rough, the CJ-5’s 4-wheel drive lever and other major controls are well within reach of the driver, either on the floor or on the custom painted dashboard panel, making sure that it isn’t left in a sticky situation. The CJ-5’s exterior is eye-catching, to say the least. The majority of the body is painted a bright yellow with black accents wheel arches, and a custom bullbar (with a fully functional 9,000 lbs Warn winch). Let’s not forget that custom painted bonnet. Couple this with its big nobbly 35-inch Super Swamper tires and custom roll cage, and the CJ-5 is bound to be the talking point wherever you take this CJ-5. Be it the middle of the desert, a grand hotel, or even the grocery store.
No small 4 cylinders here. This CJ-5 has been custom-fitted with a 6.2 liter LS Vortec engine with less than 1,500 miles. It doesn’t get much better than this. Moreover, it has also been fitted with the following - A new 350 turbo transmission A new DANA 300 transfer case A new aluminum radiator frame-off restoration completed in 2016 A new 2.5" Flow master dual exhaust New exhaust headers New power 4-wheel disc brakes with steel braided lines Allowing for an exceptionally modern driving experience for such an old vehicle.

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.
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.
If you want to experience a true-blue off-roader with minimal fripperies and no-nonsense capabilities, try a Jeep CJ. CJ stands for Civilian Jeep, and that’s precisely what Willys-Overland had in mind in the mid-1940s. World War II was coming to a close and orders for military Jeeps would soon dry up. So, they turned their attention to the civilian world, specifically the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. The result was the CJ series, which would keep going until 1986. Know what replaced the CJ? The Wrangler! Yes, the Jeep CJ lives in spirit to this day, and you can celebrate that fine legacy by purchasing this 1967 Jeep CJ-5 from Loveland, Colorado. It’s got only under 2,000 miles to its name and is the perfect off-roader for a day (or several) of fun in the jungle, desert, tundra or wherever else you get your outdoors fix.
Whatever happened to Jeep’s famous CJ or Civilian Jeep series from 1948 until 1986? Well, you see, it became the Wrangler! Yes, that’s why the two have some serious commonalities in terms of not only styling, but sheer off-road ability. The Wrangler nameplate took over in 1986, with some comprehensive re-engineering, but the basic principles have remained true to this day. That’s why today’s 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport is a formidable off-road buddy to have. It’s got 118,000 miles and hails from Wichita, Kansas. Plus, it’s part of the TJ or second generation, which came for the 1997 model year.
The Jeep Gladiator is a pickup truck based on Jeep’s popular Wrangler off-roader. Thanks to being heavily based on the Wrangler, this midsize pickup truck looks much the same as its sibling from the front three quarters, comes with the same powertrain choices, and the same off-road hardware too. But it swaps the rear cargo compartment for a five-foot truck bed. That’s all well and good for most, but what if you want a Wrangler with some serious capabilities in case, you know, the world ends as we know it? That’s where a build like this 2023 Jeep Gladiator Apocalypse Hellfire 6x6 enters the scene. Built by SoFlo Customs, this mean machine is up for grabs in Utah with just 1,710 miles. It’s got a 3.0-liter turbodiesel, a custom leather interior and more. Oh, and it’s a true 6x6, meaning all six wheels are powered!
Jeep’s Gladiator offers all those fun features of the Wrangler such as the removable doors and roof in a midsize pickup truck package. Yes, for those who need a Jeep with a cargo bed, this American off-roader maker has got you covered. The current generation of Gladiator is the JT which was sold from 2020 onwards, based on the Wrangler JL which preceded it by one model year. Today’s Gladiator is no regular one, though. It’s a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Hellcat Powered AMW 707 with the AMW 707 Hellcat conversion package. That includes a monster 6.2-liter HEMI with a supercharger tacked on, while you and your passengers luxuriously lounge upon a premium Tuscany leather interior. All this awaits you in Scappoose, Oregon with just 22,500 miles done so far. Tempted? Give in and call us.
When someone thinks of a car that can handle family responsibilities, Dodge is hardly the first brand that springs to mind. However, as the automotive market began to embrace SUVs, Dodge decided to make an offer with the Dodge Durango. Now on the third generation, the Dodge Durango unapologetically mixes old-school American muscle power with modern practicality. For the 2025 model year, Dodge introduced four special edition models, and the Hellcat Hammerhead was one of the interesting ones. Many refer to it as the ultimate sleeper because of its beastly performance figures and the understated look. This excellent example of the 2025 Dodge Durango Hellcat Hammerhead comes to you with only 1,381 miles on its odometer, making it almost factory fresh.
Known as the 'go everywhere vehicle,' the Land Rover Defender is one of the most utilitarian and iconic vehicles in the world's automotive history and remains a relevant name today. However, much has changed since the Series 1 left the factories in the Fifties.

But for those who want a more 'raw experience' to truly connect with the vehicle and conquer the elements without compromising on more modern luxuries, this 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 is the ideal choice. Reportedly sporting several amenities for the driver, this Land Rover gives both the tactile experience of a classic Land Rover and a range of modern conveniences and luxuries.
