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.
Our subject 1983 Jeep CJ-5, commands attention with its red exterior while signifying a classic aesthetic. The vehicle is adorned with tasteful classic steel wheels, evoking a timeless charm. New Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires, complete with a spare tire, have been installed recently, further boosting the vehicle's capabilities. The included bikini top complements its design while providing an option for protective covering. It also features a shackle reversal modification paired with a recent replacement of shocks that enhances its off-road capabilities. With the back seat removed, as per the current owner's report, the interior of this 1983 Jeep CJ-5 offers a versatile space. The iconic Jeep logo prominently displayed on the dashboard pays homage, while the central focal point features a large gauge flanked by two smaller ones. Metal storage compartments enhance practicality, and the inclusion of the Lecarra 3-spoke steering wheel adds a touch of classic refinement.
Powering the 1983 Jeep CJ-5 is a rebuilt 4.2L 6-cylinder engine that isn't its original motor as per the current owner. This powerplant is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission sending power to the wheels. The integration of Mopar electronic fuel injection (EFI) elevates fuel efficiency and throttle response as a Borla header contributes to exhaust efficiency and overall engine performance. Notably, the clutch was replaced by the previous owner, confirming the careful upkeep of this 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).

The Wagoneer is a four-wheel-drive car that laid a foundation for America's SUVs to follow. The vehicle is quiet and comfortable, yet it moves over rocks and rills with dignity. It does not sit twelve feet in the air, nor does it scare livestock and children with its loud and furious approach. It resembles a four-wheel drive American station wagon from the 1950s, presenting a more car-like approach to a segment that was used to utilitarian offerings. By the model year 1984, Jeep was under the wing of AMC and the Wagoneer was available in SJ and XJ versions. The more luxuriously equipped "Limited" was renamed the "Grand Wagoneer." What we are focusing on in this listing is a restored 1984 Jeep Grand Wagoneer that has 135,000 miles on its clock. It still retains its original engine and transmission and is available for sale in Arizona.
The Jeep Wrangler is a name synonymous with off-roading. It is arguably the best off-road midsize SUV to roam the terrains of planet Earth. Over the years, the Wrangler has become modernized without ever losing its inherent ruggedness. The one we have here is a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited with the optional 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 motor. On top of the torquier motor, this particular Wrangler also sports several optional packages and extras. Specced neatly in black and equipped with plenty of creature comforts, it is a comfy and spacious 4WD SUV. This Jeep is in impressive condition with only 22,000 reported miles on the odometer. It would be a great fit if you’re seeking a potent and capable midsize off-road SUV.

The Chevrolet Tahoe is the Bowtie brand’s full-size SUV offering. Since 1992, the Tahoe has represented a go-anywhere sport utility vehicle that could carry the average American family across the country in comfort, dog and all. With excellent off-road credentials, the Tahoe could take the path less travelled, too. Now we’re on the fifth generation, but there are some fantastic older ones available too. Take this first-generation 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT as a prime example. Extensively modified, this off-road ready beast has a significant 265,000 miles on the clock but don’t let that put you off. It’s been well looked after, and in your care, can easily double or even triple that mileage without major woes.
It is apparent that an obvious recent trend in the car industry is the love for SUVs. People who have them, love them. People who don’t, want them. But perhaps SUVs of late are more suited to mall parking lots than a rough trail leading to a good fishing spot. Go back a few decades and you’ll find out what SUVs were really about. This 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 with just 93,000 miles on the odometer is not the vehicle you choose if you want to drive over the curbs at your local mall. This thing can take you to places other cars shiver at the mere thought of.
This 2017 Ford F-150 Shelby with just 55,000 miles is not for the faint of heart. For starters, it has been breathed upon by the legendary Ford tuning house, Shelby, and has a supercharger! It's certainly one way of making one of America's most-loved trucks just that bit more special. After all, the F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in America for multiple years in a row — it’s safe to assume that Ford knows what they’re doing. Especially given that they’ve been producing the F-series since 1948.
