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.

Jeep’s Wrangler can owe its lineage to the Jeep CJ. Introduced in 1944, the CJ or Civilian Jeep was the result of Willys-Overland recognizing that with the War ending, they needed a civilian-focused product to continue with. Interestingly, the CJ variants are built tougher than their military counterparts, because Jeep knew that civilian users would use the vehicles for agricultural and commercial purposes, and use them hard. So, they had to last years, rather than the mere months or even weeks that a military Jeep could last before needing repair or replacement. As time passed by, the CJ series went through many iterations, until the CJ-10A which came in 1984 and bowed out by 1986. Today’s example of a fine CJ is this 1976 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Levi’s Edition from Tallahassee, Florida. The vehicle has received some restoration and renewal, including a new Chevy small-block V8 with under 5,000 miles on it. Let us tell you why you should seriously consider acquiring this distinctive and quirky off-roader.
Willys-Overland, makers of the original World War II military Jeep knew that with the War ending, they’d have to turn to civilian vehicles. Hence the arrival of the Jeep CJ series in 1944. The series progressed from CJ-1 to CJ-10A, in a production run that spanned 1944 and 1986, and by the time the Jeep CJ was replaced by the Wrangler, Jeep had built over 1.5 million examples. Hence, finding a Jeep CJ isn’t hard, but you’d better pick a fully-restored example, such as this 1966 Jeep CJ-5. The current owner says that the engine and gearbox have been rebuilt, with the engine packing less than 200 miles since then. Impressively, this car is entirely brand new! So, it’s basically a turn-key classic that’s waiting for a new owner.
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 Ford F-150 is probably the most popular half-ton pickup truck around. Hailing from Ford’s popular F-Series with roots in 1948, the half-tonner started as the F-1, then the F-100, and finally became the F-150 later in life. Across our great country, F-150s serve family and work purposes at the same time, and rarely if ever let their owners down – if they do, it’s usually due to poor maintenance or careless driving. While the majority of F-150s are aimed at usability, there are some performance derivatives around as well. Case in point, this 2022 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake that tells you all you need to know about it in one word: Shelby. Yes, Carroll Shelby’s iconic tuning outfit didn’t only fettle Mustangs; they were rather open to experimentation on other vehicles too. Today, this 21,848-mile super truck from Texas could be yours, and it’s received a recent servicing too.
