Introduced in 1974 as a sporty two-door version of the Wagoneer, the Jeep Cherokee SJ was instrumental in creating the Sport Utility Vehicle market segment. It offered a compelling mix of off-road prowess, thanks to the available Quadra-Trac full-time 4WD system, and on-road comfort. Power came from a range of AMC engines, including the durable 258 inline-6 and the powerful 360 and 401 V8s.
Collectors are drawn to the SJ's classic, muscular styling, particularly the early two-door and later Wide-Track models.
