By 1944, World War II was coming to an end, and Willys-Overland, makers of the military Jeep knew that their bread-and-butter was going to run out. They started building prototypes for a civilian variant, which they christened CJ – or Civilian Jeep. They knew that the civilian variant would face a far tougher life than its wartime sibling. Unlike a wartime military Jeep that may live for months or even weeks, a civilian variant must lead a harsh life for years. It must be reliable, easy to maintain, and able to handle a beating. Suffice to say, Jeep knocked it out of the park with the CJ, produced from 1944 to 1986 with over 1.5 million made across several CJ series. Then, the CJ series was succeeded by what we know as the Wrangler today. That’s why this 1986 Jeep CJ-7 is not only a lovely classic American off-roader, but a piece of history. Available in Athens, Alabama, this iconic off-roader comes to you with just under 75,000 miles to its name.
Exterior and Interior
In the metal, you’ll be surprised at how compact this 1986 Jeep CJ-7 actually is. In fact, the Jeep CJ series is known for its manageable dimensions and easy driving dynamics as a result of this. Its lovely green paint work, shiny bumpers and chromed side steps all cut a fine dash, as does its silver alloy wheels with proper off-road tires. There are no doors for that airy off-roading experience, but there is a partial convertible top for some weather protection. The interior of this 1986 Jeep CJ-7 features tan leather seats and appears to have been upgraded with an aftermarket steering wheel and a center console with cup holders. The vehicle also enjoys an aftermarket radio which is a great upgrade for those who love their music. This unit plays via newer speakers, installed behind the original speaker grilles in the dash.
Engine
Powering this 1986 Jeep CJ-7 is an AMC 258 in-line 6, we’re told. The engine is paired with a manual transmission and of course, four-wheel drive. So, this Jeep can definitely venture off-road and take on whatever you choose to throw at it. In fact, in most cases, the limiting factor will be the capabilities of its driver!
This 1982 Jeep CJ-7 represents the classic Jeep formula taken to an enthusiast level, combining vintage 4x4 character with a comprehensive off-road build. Showing approximately 4,831 miles since the build, this CJ-7 has been extensively upgraded with a reinforced and powder-coated frame, Mountain Off-Road Enterprises suspension components, upgraded axles, four-wheel disc brakes, and a strengthened drivetrain designed for serious trail use. Finished in white with a black interior, it features a Clifford Performance blueprinted 292ci inline-six, NV4500 5-speed manual transmission, Atlas transfer case, MasterCraft Baja RS suspension seats, and a long list of purpose-built improvements. With the current owner reporting approximately 4 inches of additional width over stock axles and only a few thousand miles since completion, this CJ-7 represents a highly customized interpretation of Jeep’s legendary open-air 4x4 platform.
The CJ-7 sits right in the sweet spot of classic Jeep history: compact, simple, unapologetically mechanical, and still built around the kind of body-on-frame 4x4 formula enthusiasts love. This 1986 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade takes that foundation and adds a long list of thoughtful upgrades, with the current owner reporting that the build took approximately two years to complete. Showing just 1,210 miles, it combines its classic Renegade identity with modernized fueling and ignition, a 5-speed manual transmission, a 2-inch suspension lift, a TDK frame, upgraded instrumentation, and a refreshed interior. Finished in Chevrolet Shark Gray with a black hard top, it has the rugged stance of a traditional CJ while bringing in just enough modern hardware to make it a particularly appealing enthusiast build.
The 1976 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade Levi’s Edition represents one of the most distinctive and collectible versions of Jeep’s classic CJ lineup, combining legendary off-road capability with a unique lifestyle-oriented appearance package. Introduced during Jeep’s transition toward a more refined recreational 4x4 market, the CJ-7 offered improved comfort and versatility while preserving the rugged mechanical character that made the CJ platform famous. The Levi’s Edition added a memorable touch with its denim-inspired interior appointments, creating a special-edition Jeep that stood apart from standard models. Showing approximately 2,507 miles, this example features a factory 304ci V8, TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, and Quadra-Trac 4WD system. Finished in Firecracker Red with a Levi’s Tan interior, it is equipped with a black removable hard top, original Levi’s Edition rear bench seat, black American Racing wheels, power steering, power brakes, and several practical upgrades. According to the current owner, the body tub retains its original paint and remains well preserved, making this CJ-7 a standout example of Jeep’s iconic open-air heritage.
The 1955 Willys Jeep CJ-5 represents the early civilian evolution of the wartime Jeep formula, retaining the compact dimensions, simple mechanicals, and go-anywhere character that made the platform famous. Showing 32,946 miles, this example is finished in Forest Green with a Black/Gray vinyl interior and features the classic open-top CJ configuration with removable doors, a fold-down windshield, and a rear cargo area with a drop-down tailgate. Its 134ci Hurricane F-head four-cylinder, 3-speed manual transmission, and dual-range 4WD system give it the straightforward, mechanical driving experience that defines an early CJ.
This 1967 Jeep CJ-5 is the kind of early Jeep that reminds you why the CJ became such an enduring off-road icon in the first place. Showing approximately 1,922 miles, this example keeps the formula wonderfully simple with a 225ci V6, 4-speed manual transmission, and a Dana 18 twin-stick transfer case sending power through a Dana 27 front axle and Dana 44 rear axle. Finished in green over a reupholstered tan interior, it combines period-correct utility with just enough upgrades to make it more usable, including manual locking hubs, a power brake booster, and a spray-lined tub. It is compact, mechanical, and purpose-built in exactly the way vintage Jeep enthusiasts tend to appreciate.
This 2003 Jeep Wrangler Sahara takes the familiar TJ platform and gives it a much more personalized off-road character through a long list of visual and mechanical upgrades. Showing approximately 142,377 miles, it stands out immediately with its custom purple exterior finish, lifted stance, black hardtop, and matching purple accents throughout. Under the hood is a 4.0L Newcomer Racing naturally aspirated inline-6 paired with a 42RLE 4-speed automatic transmission and 4WD, while upgrades including a 3.5-inch suspension lift, Bilstein shocks, K&N intake, rock sliders, aftermarket bumpers, and recovery hardware give this Wrangler a more purposeful trail-ready presentation.
The 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup is one of Chevrolet’s most unconventional utility vehicles, combining a forward-control cab with the Corvair’s rear-mounted, air-cooled powertrain and a genuinely clever side-loading pickup bed. Showing 23,258 miles, this example is powered by a 145ci air-cooled flat-six with dual single-barrel carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. Its signature passenger-side loading ramp, rear-mounted engine, compact proportions, and distinctive cab-over styling give the Rampside an identity unlike virtually any other American pickup of the period.
The K5 Blazer is one of the defining full-size American 4x4s of its era, combining the hardware of a traditional Chevrolet truck with a shorter two-door body and removable roof. This 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer shows 52,293 miles and keeps that classic formula intact with V8 power, an automatic transmission, dual-range four-wheel drive, and solid axles. Its removable fiberglass hardtop adds the open-air element that helped distinguish the K5 from conventional SUVs, while the period-style Rally wheels, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and burgundy cabin complete the unmistakably 1980s presentation.
Few vintage 4x4s have the enthusiast following of the first-generation Ford Bronco, and this 1971 Ford Bronco Restomod takes that classic formula in a decidedly performance-oriented direction. Showing approximately 2,242 miles, this build combines a 302ci Ford Racing crate V8 with a Holley 570 CFM Street Avenger 4-barrel carburetor, a 3-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel drive. Finished in Wimbledon White and Guardsman Blue with dual Blue stripes, it also features James Duff suspension, Dana 44 and Ford 9-inch axle hardware, Warn locking hubs, roadster-style doors, a family-style roll cage, and a long list of custom audio and trim upgrades. The result is a Bronco that retains its unmistakable early off-road character while incorporating the mechanical and aesthetic touches enthusiasts look for in a thoughtfully executed restomod.
