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 350ci Chevrolet V8, a reupholstered interior and a decent 104,953 miles on the odometer.
The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep was born out of a corporate need to survive. Willys-Overland used to supply the US Military with Jeeps for World War II. In 1944, they realized that with the War due to end, their lucrative orders would also dry up. So, they turned their attention to an America that was soon due to experience an agricultural and industrial boom, and decided to adapt the military Jeep into the CJ. This proved tougher said than done, because military Jeeps had lifespans of months or even weeks. They were throw-away items. A civilian Jeep, on the other hand, would also experience harsh use but be expected to last for years and even decades. Nevertheless, they did it, and the Jeep CJ was made from 1945 until 1986 across several iterations. Then, the successor gained a name that we know to this day; Wrangler. So, why not celebrate that glorious legacy and buy this 1978 Jeep CJ-5 that’s up for sale in Florida? With a 258ci straight six, a custom paint job, Bilstein performance shocks and more goodies, this is an off-road buddy that will never let you down.
A fun-loving off-roader for those who truly enjoy exploring the great outdoors, Jeep’s Wrangler can directly trace its lineage to the Jeep CJ line-up from 1948 onwards.

Case in point, we have a nicely modified 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport for sale from Slidell, Louisiana for sale today. With a mere 55,850 miles, this four-wheel drive off-road beast could be yours if you desire a machine that can keep up with your thirst to explore the unexplored, the desire to traverse the wilderness, the will to create new paths.

Now here’s a veritable legend up for grabs in Camarillo, California!

The most popular Coupe Utility, the Chevy El Camino came in 1959 and was made until 1987. It wasn’t the first Coupe Utility, rather Chevy brought it out to fight Ford’s Ranchero. So what is this Coupe Utility business, then? Well, you take a regular passenger vehicle, typically a two-door station wagon, and chop off everything behind the front seats. Then, you make it into a pickup truck bed back there. That’s the difference between a pickup truck and a coupe utility; unlike the former’s body-on-frame construction, a coupe utility is basically a monocoque construction vehicle with an integrated cargo bed behind the passenger cabin. You can see it best in our photos, where this second-generation 1967 Chevrolet El Camino seamlessly blends in a Chevy Chevelle-styled front end with a distinctive, exposed cargo bed out back. This particular vehicle is now available in Tucson, Arizona having undergone a comprehensive makeover.
