As the civilian successor to the WWII military Jeep, the CJ established the template for American 4x4s for over four decades. It’s now prized by collectors for its iconic design, simple mechanics, and readily available parts.
Jeep CJ sold for a median of $14,000 over the last 12 months, based on 231 auction sales; the middle 50% sold between $8,576 and $24,050. 5,252 currently for sale.
The Jeep CJ's story begins right after WWII, as Willys-Overland adapted its military MB for civilian use. It evolved over decades, with key models like the long-running CJ-5, the more civilized CJ-7 introduced in 1976, and the pickup-like CJ-8 Scrambler. Its simple, functional design established the template for American off-road vehicles for over 40 years.
Collectors are drawn to the CJ's iconic status and mechanical simplicity. They're easy to work on, parts are readily available, and the aftermarket offers endless possibilities for customization. The open-air driving experience and legitimate off-road capability make it a highly desirable classic for adventure.
The market for CJs is broad, with an average sale price of $20,150 across 767 transactions. This reflects a wide spectrum of vehicles, from well-used projects to expertly restored examples. Unmodified, low-mileage CJs and special editions like the Scrambler or Laredo tend to command the highest prices.
Buying Tips
Rust is the number one enemy. Thoroughly inspect the frame for rot, especially near the leaf spring shackles, body mounts, and front crossmember.
Check the body tub for corrosion in the floor pans, rocker panels, and around the wheel wells. Many have had patch panels welded in, so assess the quality of any repairs.
Most CJs have been modified. Scrutinize the quality of any suspension lifts, engine swaps, or wiring jobs, as poor work can lead to safety and reliability issues.
The AMC 258 inline-6 is known for durability, but check any V8 swaps for proper cooling and installation. Look for leaks from the transfer case and differentials, a common sign of hard use.
Based on 767 recent sales, prices range from $1 for projects to $81,500 for top-spec variants and restorations.
