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.

The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep was born out of a corporate need to survive. Willys-Overland used to supply the US Military with Jeeps for World War II. In 1944, they realized that with the War due to end, their lucrative orders would also dry up. So, they turned their attention to an America that was soon due to experience an agricultural and industrial boom, and decided to adapt the military Jeep into the CJ. This proved tougher said than done, because military Jeeps had lifespans of months or even weeks. They were throw-away items. A civilian Jeep, on the other hand, would also experience harsh use but be expected to last for years and even decades. Nevertheless, they did it, and the Jeep CJ was made from 1945 until 1986 across several iterations. Then, the successor gained a name that we know to this day; Wrangler. So, why not celebrate that glorious legacy and buy this 1978 Jeep CJ-5 that’s up for sale in Florida? With a 258ci straight six, a custom paint job, Bilstein performance shocks and more goodies, this is an off-road buddy that will never let you down.
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.
This 1976 Jeep CJ-7 represents the classic open-air off-road platform that helped define Jeep’s reputation for rugged capability. Known for its short wheelbase, simple mechanical design, and removable top configuration, the CJ-7 became one of the most recognizable off-road vehicles of the late 1970s. With over 96,000 miles shown, this example has been updated with a number of cosmetic and functional upgrades, combining the traditional Jeep driving experience with refreshed components and custom styling.
This beige 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sport from Minoa isn’t like your typical off-roader. Nope, you can pop off its doors and top and go off-roading in open-air style. That’s one of the distinctive features that the Wrangler continues to offer to this day, something that you can only get on one other SUV. Furthermore, with its 505-horsepower 6.4-liter HEMI under the hood, you can get around pretty quickly. This go-anywhere family hauler is the work of AMW (America’s Most Wanted) and currently shows under 10,000 miles on the clock so far. According to the owner, the vehicle has about 118,00 miles on its original body. So, are you ready to make it yours?

Now here’s a vehicle you don’t see in our listings very often. The Dodge Caliber. This compact car was made by Chrysler Corporation’s sub-brand Dodge between 2006 and 2011. It’s a five-door hatchback, and was pretty well received, especially in its initial years. For example, in 2008, the year from which this 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 hails, over 84,000 found homes in the United States alone. This particular vehicle is available in Augusta, Georgia, and makes for a great first car. It’s got under 33,000 miles on it and a spunky turbo four under the hood. You’ve got a 6-speed manual transmission at your disposal, sending around 285hp to the front wheels. Hot hatchback, anyone?
