CJ-5 Frame

The late AMC era CJ-5 had an 83.5″ wheelbase and was available from 1976 until 1983. The small, compact size of the CJ-5 made it nimble on the trail. It was available in a several trim styles with a few engine choices but most notably the AMC 304 V8.

CJ-7 and Scrambler

The CJ-7 was a nice improvement to the CJ in 1976. The Jeep had a 93.5″ inch wheelbase which added just enough room to allow better comfort to the driver and some extra storage in the rear. The addition of an optional automatic transmission and factory fiberglass hard top made this Jeep so much more practical.

The Scrambler, or CJ-8 was essentially a CJ-7 with an extended rear cargo area. The 103.5″ wheelbase Scrambler was available from 1981 until 1986 and came in several trims. The Scrambler was never as much as a success as the CJ-7 this has led to a scarcity of this model Jeep in today’s world making their value increase dramatically.
