The Jeep CJ series stands as a historic testament to the enduring legacy of the post-war Jeep, laying the foundation for the modern-day Wrangler. This venerable lineage graced the automotive landscape from 1944 through 1986, encompassing a myriad of variants, with an estimated production exceeding one and a half million units. Among its celebrated offspring, the CJ-7 emerged in 1976, marking the swan song of the CJ series before its rebirth as the iconic Wrangler in 1987. The CJ series epitomizes robustness, a sublime simplicity, and an untamed spirit, making it the quintessential choice for unbridled adventures in the great outdoors. If the cacophony of today's intricate digital and connected vehicles feels overwhelming, this 1983 Jeep CJ-7 offers a rejuvenating escape for your weekends. Although it proudly wears 176,000 miles on its odometer, its indomitable character can effortlessly double or even triple that figure with the proper care.
Resplendent in an unadorned black livery, this 1983 Jeep CJ-7 boasts a paint finish that's inherently forgiving, readily concealing the inevitable scars of traversing rugged landscapes. Its visage is accentuated by a rugged front bumper, fortified to accommodate a winch, and graced with a set of aftermarket wheels, infusing a touch of visual allure. These wheels serve as the vessel for Goodyear All-Terrain tires, essential for the rigors of off-road exploration. Ensuring your peace of mind in the wilderness, a spare wheel stands ready for duty. The present owner proudly attests to the functionality of all exterior lights, while supplementary lights adorning the windshield are poised to pierce the darkest of trails. Moreover, your assurance against the elements is fortified with the inclusion of both a protective hardtop and a soft bikini top, bundled with this 1983 Jeep CJ-7. The interior, spartan by design, restricts itself to the essentials, eschewing superfluous adornments. Two accommodating seats await the driver and front passenger, with a rear bench seat facilitating additional passengers or cargo. A sporty aftermarket Grant G/T steering wheel elevates the driving experience, while a comprehensive array of gauges stands sentinel, vigilantly monitoring the engine's performance. A lone indulgence graces the cabin—a thoughtful aftermarket radio head unit, offering versatile connectivity through USB and AUX inputs, ready to serenade your off-road escapades with trail-worthy tunes.
Nestled beneath the sturdy hood of the 1983 Jeep CJ-7 resides a stalwart 258ci (4.2L) inline 6-cylinder engine, a product of the American Motors Corporation (AMC). Renowned for its reliability and steadfast dependability, this powerplant garners factory-rated figures of 98hp and 193lb-ft of torque. Power is masterfully harnessed through a manual transmission, diligently channeled to all four wheels via a two-speed transfer case. This is no mere vehicle; it is a genuine off-road conqueror, primed to navigate the most challenging terrains with unwavering resolve.

The Jeep CJ series can trace its roots back to the original Willy’s Jeep, the car that mobilized the American forces during the Second World War. Since then, the Jeep CJ has found its way into the hearts of many around the world, who appreciate this quintessential offroader for its rugged abilities and backyard mechanic simplicity. The CJ-7 was introduced in 1976 and would be the last “CJ” Jeep before the introduction of the Wrangler that we know today. Our featured 1978 Jeep CJ-7 is described as a restomod, with a 304ci V8 engine, and a whole host of improvements to be found under the metal — that’s in no small part thanks to the owner reportedly spending over $13,000 in aftermarket work alone!
Venturing off the beaten path and being where no one has been is an experience that cannot be replicated. Getting you to picturesque views requires a purpose-built motor, but what if you wanted a capable off-roader that is user-friendly for daily travel as well? Look no further—this 1983 Jeep CJ-7 is the one for you. With a reported 107,000 miles on the clock, this '80s icon features custom styling to make it stand out and performance to match its upgraded styling as well.
The Jeep Wrangler was introduced in 1986 as a compact off-roader with some creature comforts and family-friendly features. Now on the fourth generation, the Wrangler remains one of just two off-roaders with some special features. We’ll tell you what those are in just a bit. If you’re somewhat more of a classic Wrangler person, this second-generation 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is a great place to start. Extensively modified for even more capable off-road performance, this sub-60,000-mile vehicle currently resides in Mabank, Texas.
Jeep rose to become America’s most popular maker of off-roaders through a rich history that started way back in 1948. Along the way, they also introduced some luxury-oriented models, such as the Grand Wagoneer. Debuting in 1984 as a more plush and well-equipped variant of Jeep’s Wagoneer, the Grand Wagoneer that we have today is a fine example from 1991. Moreover, this 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer comes with just 74,410 miles on the clock. So grab yourself a slice of Jeep history while you can; it’s a vehicle that can even act as your daily driver if desired.
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.
The 1968 Ford Bronco has always held a legendary place in the off-road world—but this fully restored and thoroughly upgraded example takes things to a whole new level. Powered by a professionally built 331ci stroker V8 and loaded with high-performance components, this Bronco blends vintage charm with modern capability. With just 926 miles since its full restoration, it offers the raw mechanical appeal of a classic 4x4, combined with the refinement of modern engineering and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
The GMC Jimmy is the sister vehicle of the Chevrolet Blazer. Both vehicles are basically SUV variants of the Chevy C/K-series of pickup trucks, and offer a more family-friendly value proposition. Until 1976, these SUVs also came with a removable hardtop, although it wasn’t as straightforward to remove as a typical convertible top. If you’d like to own one of these iconic vehicles, check out this 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD that’s for sale right now in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The vehicle has reportedly covered 58,000 miles so far.
The pickup truck is crucial to the fabric of American car culture, carving out a space in people’s hearts since the earliest models were introduced. This 1966 Chevrolet C10 is a beautifully restored example of one of Chevy’s most iconic pickups. Benefitting from a full restoration completed in 2024, this truck blends classic charm with tasteful modern enhancements. With a fresh 350ci engine under the hood, a new Turbo 350 automatic transmission, and a full list of refreshed components, this C10 offers a turn-key classic truck experience that’s both eye-catching and ready to drive.
