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.

As early as 1944, when World War II was reaching its tail end, the Willys-Overland Corporation started previewing a civilian version of the military Jeep. The civilian version would be nearly identical to the military one, with body-on-frame construction, rigid live axles, leaf springs, and part-time four-wheel drive. Called the CJ (Civilian Jeep) series, over 1.5 million were sold until 1986 when the Wrangler took over. This 1976 Jeep CJ-5 is one proud member of that massive family and is up for sale with a mere 15,000 miles under its belt. So, if you want to own and drive a classic American hero, here’s your chance to pick one up.
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).
Jeep, originally a utility vehicle that played a pivotal role in the Allied victory, emerged as a symbol of resilience and limitless potential. The roots of the 1983 Jeep CJ-5 Std trace back to the aftermath of World War II. Inspired by the rugged conditions of war-torn landscapes, the M38A1's lineage directly influenced the creation of the CJ-5. With its distinct lack of doors and roof, the CJ-5 encapsulates the concept of open-bodied freedom. Under the guidance of Kaiser, the new corporate owner, CJ-5, underwent meticulous refinements. This stunning example of the 1983 Jeep CJ-5 we have here is an interesting case as the current owner believes its motor to be swapped.
The Jeep CJ series can trace its roots back to the original Willy’s Jeep, the car that mobilized the American forces during the Second World War. Since then, the Jeep CJ has found its way into the hearts of many around the world, who appreciate this quintessential offroader for its rugged abilities and backyard mechanic simplicity. The CJ-7 was introduced in 1976 and would be the last “CJ” Jeep before the introduction of the Wrangler that we know today. Our featured 1978 Jeep CJ-7 is described as a restomod, with a 304ci V8 engine, and a whole host of improvements to be found under the metal — that’s in no small part thanks to the owner reportedly spending over $13,000 in aftermarket work alone!
One of the most iconic off-roaders, the Jeep Wrangler is renowned for its removable doors and top. There’s only one other off-roader on the market today that allows you to do this; that’s the Ford Bronco. Introduced in 1986, the Wrangler comes decked out with Jeep’s signature off-roading capabilities from the factory. This makes it far more useful off-road than any other SUV before it’s been heavily modified. But, Jeep Wranglers can still be modified for even more capability off road, which is what this third generation, JK-series 2015 Jeep Wrangler Ultimate Sport has become. Now, this 71,000-mile trail beast could be yours!
Since 1992, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has been one of America’s signature midsize off-roaders. Calling it an SUV is almost sacrilegious, because Jeep products aren’t just Sport Utility Vehicles. They’re made for the great outdoors, many bear Jeep’s hallowed Trail Rated badge, and come with plenty of off-road kit from the factory. But what happens when there’s a set of owners who want their Grand Cherokee to pack as much horsepower as possible? Enter the Grand Cherokee SRT, with its 475-hp 6.4L HEMI V8. But if that’s still insufficient, check out this specially modified 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT with 59,784 miles on the clock. You’ll have to keep reading to find out what’s been modified, but let us tell you that it’s been reportedly dynoed at 753 wheel horsepower!
Even the world’s best luxury automaker, Rolls-Royce, wasn’t immune from the SUV tsunami that gripped the automotive world. However, when you’re sitting at the top of the hierarchy of luxury, you’ve got to give it your best – and then some. That’s why Rolls-Royce took their own sweet time, only entering the luxury SUV game in 2018 with the Cullinan. Named after the largest rough diamond ever discovered to date, the Cullinan is the brand’s first SUV, and their first all-wheel drive vehicle. And as you’d expect, it’s every bit a Rolls-Royce. Don’t believe us? Buy this 2021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge with a smidge less than 20,000 miles on the clock, and you’ll never settle for anything less.
After decades of service, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class nameplate has taken on a life of its own, transcending its original utilitarian roots and becoming a symbol of luxury and success in its latest generations. But the legend started with the 1985 Mercedes Benz 300GD. Our featured car forgoes the chrome of the modern versions and instead provides a satisfying look back at the origins of the G Class. This particular example makes its way to the US from its homeland of Germany and features just 46,000 kilometers on the odometer. Not only does this 1985 Mercedes Benz 300GD feature some serious off-road kit — plus Mercedes’ legendary OM606 engine — but it has also reportedly been fully stipped, having received a complete restoration before being offered for sale.
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. Modern Land Rovers come equipped with all sorts of electronic driver assist systems to make traversal in rough terrain efficient, quick, and convenient. 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.
