If the Jeep CJ series looks familiar, that's because the Willys-Overland company decided to adapt their popular military Jeep into a civilian variant. The brand would subsequently become Kaiser-Jeep, before ending up as Jeep in 1971. This 1982 Jeep CJ-7 Limited is a fine example if you've been lusting after one of these iconic off-roaders, and with a healthy 122,000 miles on the clock, it's ready to double or even triple that mileage with you.
You've got a lovely, muted shade of blue enveloping this 1982 Jeep CJ-7 Limited, replete with the original, color-matching hard top for those days when you need a full roof over your head. We're told that the paintwork is original for added authenticity. Conversely, when the weather is nice, you can keep the roof at home and rely on the black canvas top for some protection. If you'd like the true open-air experience, just drop the canvas top, fold down the front windshield and voila, it's as open as it gets. There's a padded roll bar for some protection in this configuration. Premium Limited wheels, Limited chrome bumper sidestep bars and front fog lamps cap off a simple yet capable outlook. Inside, there's space for four occupants in a blue-themed interior, replete with functional air conditioning and heating to cater to all weather conditions. The front seats are bucket-style units for added bolstering while on the trails; the rear seat is a bench unit. Take a few moments to appreciate the classic style of the dashboard and instruments, with a newer, retro-styled radio head unit being the only touch of modernity. We also observe what appear to be newer speakers lurking behind the original dash-mounted speaker grilles.
This 1982 Jeep CJ-7 Limited is powered by a 4.2-liter in-line six-cylinder engine that was factory rated to make 98hp and 193lb-ft. Yes, these are modest figures, but the engine's strengths lie in its sheer reliability and low RPM torque, which are ideal for off-roading. Power is sent to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. Furthermore, we're told that this 1982 Jeep CJ-7 Limited also has power steering and power brakes.
Jeep’s CJ series was born out of the need to keep in business. Willys-Overland knew that since World War II was ending, so would their lucrative military contract for Jeeps. So, they created the Civilian Jeep – CJ, get it? It was meant for usage that was even tougher than a battlefield. This meant use at the hands of farmers, construction workers, manufacturing facility operators and other harsh environments, for years on end, with minimal maintenance and often driven hard too. The CJ was made across several iterations from 1944 to 1986 before giving rise to a familiar name – Wrangler. Yes, the Jeep Wrangler can directly trace its lineage to the CJ series, and the resemblance is uncanny too. Here, we have a 1986 Jeep CJ-7 for sale from Henderson, Nevada. This fine machine comes with the 304ci AMC V8, a reupholstered interior and a decent 104,953 miles on the odometer.
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.
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.
This 1966 Ford F-250 Crown Crew Cab 4×4 is a rare example of a purpose-built heavy-duty truck ordered with both specialized coachwork and Ford’s upscale Custom Cab specification. Unlike the standard fleet-grade bodies typically used for Crown conversions, this truck was built on a F-250 platform and equipped from new with the 81B Custom Cab package, pairing a four-door Crown-built body with Ford’s highest interior trim of the period. A comprehensive, factory-correct restoration was carried out with the singular goal of returning the truck precisely to its original 1966 configuration rather than modernizing or reinterpreting it. The combination of Custom Cab trim, Crown coachwork, faithfully recreated upholstery materials, and original-style factory air conditioning places this truck among the most authentic Crown crew cab F-250s known, supported by Hemmings documentation and minimal mileage since completion.
The OG Hummer, the AM General Humvee is the military variant on which the entire Hummer brand was created around, at the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Having encountered these vehicles in movies, it’s no surprise that The Terminator fell in love with them. Of course, at that time, the only way a civilian could expose themselves to a Humvee in the capacity of driving it was to likely join the military. Now, you can find plenty of old, ex-service Humvees entering civilian life after they retire from active duty. This 1987 AM General Humvee M998 is one such candidate, and it’s got just 37,300 miles to its name. But that’s not important, what matters is how it’s been tastefully customized. You’ve got a Tropical Blue repaint, a custom navy and white Sunbrella top, a diesel V8 under the hood, and so much more to appreciate. Hard to imagine, isn’t it, that this was once a military troop transport!
Today, RAM is a stand-alone brand of pickup trucks and well-known for its versatile array of tough, capable and yes, luxurious offerings in the full-size, medium-duty and heavy-duty segments. But before 2010, RAM was merely a model under the Dodge hierarchy, and the trucks were known as the Dodge Ram. That’s what we have here, a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 LT for sale from Baytown, Texas. This is a second-generation Dodge RAM and it’s done 154,788 miles so far. With its Cummins turbodiesel six, manual gearbox and replaced interior, it’s the ideal truck for someone looking for a decent workhorse, as well as a person who wants something a little different from the Nineties. Contact us if you fit the bill.
