Holding true American off-roader DNA, Jeep is a company that needs no introduction, and neither does this 1983 Jeep CJ-7. Based on the military jeeps it produced, the CJ series was literally made as the civilian four-wheeler and held a lot of the military Jeeps' design elements, especially the front end. Jeep's military ruggedness remained part of the CJ-7 and has survived four decades and has undergone a few enhancements during its lifetime, including a replaced motor and redone underbody. With roughly 2,900 miles clocked on the vehicle since its swap, this Jeep continues to perform well and is ready for any challenge that may be put in its way.
Straying away from the utilitarian-military colors, this Jeep comes in a turquoise exterior that helps it stand out from the crowd. Not that it needs to, with its design and inherent character instantly standing out from the regular commuter cars seen on the road. The current owner reports that the new paint was done around 2019-2020 and matches the color of the interior dashboard. A quick walkaround and you'll notice the AVM wheels wrapped in Irok Super Swamper tires, the Warn Winch, Fender flares, and a host of other enhancements that help accentuate the barebones utilitarian look and feel of this CJ-7's exterior. This particular vehicle comes only with the Bikini top, which matches well with the aesthetic usually desired in a Jeep and helps with the exterior transition smoothly into the interior, especially with the partial doors that this vehicle comes with. Climbing inside, you'll immediately notice the contrast set with the color-matched dashboard and black interior, which works well with blending this Jeep's exterior and interior. The seats are comfortable and plush, allowing you to settle in while enjoying the open breeze. There's no A/C, of course, but why would you need one when you have the open air blowing around you as you drive?
This Jeep enjoys new life breathed into it thanks to the 350ci crate V8 motor strapped to the front, along with an automatic transmission that was swapped along with the engine. Thanks to that, this CJ-7 has odes of power at its disposal, able to handle anything that you could throw at it while behind its aftermarket steering wheel.
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.
There are very few automotive marques that have created an everlasting impression on their release and to this day. The formula for automotive succession and leaving a mark is formulated with the perfect balance of automotive history, engineering wizardry and design that makes you look twice after you park.

With a reported 88,377 miles on its clock, this is an example that hasn't fallen prey to the massive aftermarket scene and still boasts all its factory charm.
Jeep has consistently churned out machines that are well-suited to tackle the great outdoors. While navigating through the rough and tough requires a host of features, looking good while doing so makes for an experience that's full circle. Present today is the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X. This off-road powerhouse features limited-edition flair and has reportedly covered over 2,500 miles on its odometer.
The Jeep Gladiator is designed for those who want a Wrangler with a pickup truck-style cargo bed. Since 2020, this model has been on sale and has quickly garnered a loyal following from fans who need this blend of versatility, family friendliness, and above all, sheer off-road chops. Today’s 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave 392 is several cuts above the rest as it comes with extensive modifications, including a HEMI 6.4L 392ci V8. 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.
Now here’s an interesting curio from the Two Thousands. The Chevrolet SSR was a convertible pickup truck with a retractable hardtop! Produced over three short years from 2003 to 2006, this interesting pastiche of retro and modern styling cues saw 24,500 units made, and 24,112 were offered to the public. It came with a brawny V8 under the hood, of course, driving the rear wheels for that quintessential muscle truck experience. Now, we’ve got a 34,061-mile 2005 Chevrolet SSR for sale right now. Hailing from Deming, New Mexico, this truck is the perfect oddity for the discerning collector or petrolhead who wants to own something quirky, unusual, and above all, American.
The Chevrolet Silverado line-up comes from a long ancestry of useful and dependable pickup trucks, and one that can be traced back to just after World War II. For decades, Chevy trucks have offered reliable and steadfast transport to countless American small and medium businesses and entrepreneurs. This 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is no different to its elders in that sense. However, this 38,000-mile, North Carolina-based truck comes with a slightly different persona, as it’s been modded somewhat. Now available for sale, it could be your daily driver or your weekend show car, depending on how you plan to use it.
The Dodge Viper was a menacing, manic sports car that saw a massive V10 engine stuffed in front of a two-seat passenger cabin and sent out on the roads with nary any driver assistance aids. Now imagine what would happen if that same drivetrain was shoved into a pickup truck? That’s exactly what Dodge did with the Dodge RAM 1500 SRT-10. This came about when the RAM Pickup line was still under the Dodge nameplate, and just over 10,000 units were built between 2004 and 2006. That’s less production than some Italian exotic cars! Today, we’ve got a very special 2004 Dodge RAM 1500 SRT-10 for sale from Land O’Lakes, Florida. What makes this 23,395-mile super-truck special is the fact that it was owned by former Professional WWE Star Paul Wight. You’d better act fast, then, as we already have envisioned the queue forming.
