The Civilian Jeep, or Willys Jeep CJ is what eventually became the Wrangler that we know and love to this day. Conceived in 1948 as a civilian variant to the popular military Jeep, the CJ ran until 1986. The CJ-7 variant was one of the latest at the time, made between 1976 and 1986. That’s what we have here today, a 1985 Jeep CJ-7 for sale from Burnsville, Minnesota. This Jeep packs around 91,747 miles on the clock and has received a 327ci V8 engine upgrade, with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. It’s also got the Heavy-Duty Suspension Package, making it fantastic for someone who is seeking a fun but tough and capable off-road machine for weekend forays into the wilderness.
This 1985 Jeep CJ-7 comes to you in red, and features a rather airy appearance. Yes, it’s open-topped and largely open-sided too. There’s a roll bar for some occupant protection, but otherwise, you can simply hop in and out unaided thanks to the removable doors. You can also install these if you need to drive around town, and there’s a rudimentary hood as well. But let’s face it, this lovely little thing, with its chunky off-road tires, inimitable Jeep face and overall adventurous persona is best enjoyed doorless and topless – the vehicle, that is. The vehicle’s chunky front bumper also features a set of aftermarket fog lamps for better illumination when things get dark and murky. The black interior of this 1985 Jeep CJ-7 includes aftermarket gauges, an aftermarket Sony head unit and some nice black vinyl seats. You’ll also find a center console with cup holders for added comfort and storage.

So, you can slip into rear-wheel drive for tarmac cruising and then slot into four-wheel drive for when you hit the trails – or attempt to make your own tracks into the wild.

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.
