Here, you're looking at the first ever mass-produced four-wheel drive vehicle worldwide. The Jeep CJ was pioneered as a rugged military vehicle during World War II, so much so that it was the inspiration behind many iconic off-roaders we see today. However, the CJ was small and compact when it first came out, and it took 32 years before we finally saw a fully-fledged CJ-7. Overall, the Jeep CJ-7 is a classic SUV that is well-loved by both off-road enthusiasts and collectors alike, and it remains a popular choice for those who want a vehicle that can handle tough terrain and provide a unique driving experience.
This 1981 Jeep CJ-7 inherits a distinctive exterior design that is instantly recognizable. It features a classic boxy shape with a flat front grille and round headlights. The CJ-7 also has a notably longer wheelbase than its predecessor, the CJ-5, which allows for more interior space. This stunning example wears a beautiful Deep Maroon Metallic exterior paint combined with a Tan top. The current owner reports that all parts on this CJ-7 are original, and it's not hard to believe, given the exquisite condition of the vehicle. The interior of the Jeep CJ-7 is simple yet functional, with a focus on durability and practicality. The interior layout is with easy-to-use controls and gauges that are designed for off-road use. While some might argue that this CJ-7 might be outdated in comparison to modern creature comforts, one must keep in mind that this vehicle was designed for a completely different purpose. It was designed to go places that most other vehicles wouldn't dare, and for that, its simple tan leather seats, classic Pioneer radio, and power steering are all it needs.
Powering this 1981 Jeep CJ-7 is a 258ci (4.2L) AMC in-line six-cylinder engine that has been paired with an automatic transmission. Reports suggest that the CJ-7 has completed 92,000 miles so far, which is not much for this icon, especially after its current owner claims that all maintenance and services have been done regularly.
After making the transition to building civilian versions of their famed military off-roaders, Jeep quickly became a byword for stylish, practical, and dependable transport that could do anything and go virtually anywhere. One look at our 1978 Jeep CJ-7 and you’ll see its war-winning roots. At the same time, it continues to bear a resemblance to a brand that continues to mobilise many off-roading enthusiasts. Now with an upgraded 304ci AMC V8 engine under the hood and additional functional and stylistic modifications, this Jeep CJ-7 is looking for a new home. It could be the deal of the year, with the owner reporting to have fully restored this Jeep with over $13,000 worth of upgrades.
Fun fact; the CJ in Jeep CJ stands for Civilian Jeep! By 1944, Willys-Overland had started planning a civilian variant of the popular military Jeep that had revolutionized battlefields all across the theaters of World War II. They knew that the War was coming to an end, and so would their bread-and-butter product. So, by 1945, the CJ-2A was introduced and sold over 214,000 units in just four years. CJ-1 and CJ-2 were prototypes and thus not available to the public. The series continued for decades, with the CJ-7 coming in 1976. This particular 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade is thus one of over 379,000 units built over a 11-year production run. Bearing 7,101 miles on the odometer, this vehicle resides in Anderson, South California, and is waiting for a new custodian.

The rest of the vehicle packs a mere 28,000 miles, making it a low-mileage hero that’s ready to serve for years to come. Don’t pass up the opportunity to own this beast.
The ancestor of today’s wildly popular Jeep Wrangler, the Jeep CJ was born out of the company’s need to adapt to a post-World War environment. The Willys-Overland corporation had successfully supplied military Jeeps to the US and Allied Forces during World War II, and once the War ended, they realized they would soon be out of a customer. So, they took the military Jeep, made some tweaks to make it more civilian-friendly, and the CJ series was born. CJ stands for Civilian Jeep, and Willys-Overland targeted it at agricultural use. This would be tougher than wartime use, because, unlike a machine that would last a few months on average, users would want their vehicle to last for years under punishing conditions. So, a legacy of continuous improvement began, with multiple CJ iterations and a production run that ran until 1986, when the Wrangler took over. In excess of 1.5 million CJs were made, and we’ve got a 1981 Jeep CJ-5 for sale today. This Oklahoma-based off-roader has traveled under 126,000 miles, but it can easily keep going with the usual maintenance.
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.
