Here is the jeepfan.com 1978 CJ as it appeared when we first bought it in 1997. Fresh, restored, and stock. This Jeep has seen so many changes in the 17+ years we’ve had it. It’s currently retired from off-road use and is enjoying the life of garage kept luxury and pampering. jeepfan.com 1978 CJ-5
WAY back in the 70’s Jeep was looking at a special Jeep for 1976 to celebrate America’s bicentennial. The early 70’s CJ’s featured a Super Jeep model that came in a red, white, and blue version, this seemed a natural fit for the 76 year. Unfortunately the expense to build this Jeep was too much …
It’s no secret we have a soft spot for CJ’s..especially Mike and his obsession with the 74 CJ-5 Renegade. While at the 2014 Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival we spotted this Jeep and Mike was out of service for at lease a half hour and almost needed to be forcibly removed from the Jeep. Anyway, this …
What you have here is 3 Rauch owned Jeeps. A CJ-2A, Jeep Truck, and a 77 CJ-7. Mostly old school but some definitely feature some modern equipment. All are far from original. The Willy’s CJ has a Chevy V8, automatic, and Old Man Emu Wrangler YJ springs. The truck is running a Ford V8 and …
Bill Bonham’s 1973 Jeep CJ-5 is a beautiful restoration. The Jeep is in near original condition with only a few minor alterations. Since we have a soft spot for clean old CJ’s we had to take some time to give this Jeep some proper attention.
Mike is the founder of jeepfan.com. A lifelong “Jeepfan” playing around, modifying, building, and everything else with Jeeps for decades. Now on Jeep number 9 (some CJ’s, JK and YJ Wranglers, Cherokee, and Liberty and about 5 CJ’s for parts) the saga continues.
Mike’s 1977 CJ-7. The equipment list is rather extensive on this Jeep. A perfect combination of good looks and serious trail-worthy make this Jeep incredible.
This 1978 CJ-5 has been in our stable since 1997 and as soon as we had our hands on it all kinds of ideas filled our heads. The Jeep was essentially a restored stock Jeep with an AMC V8 and a fiberglass body. It’s hard to find a more perfect Jeep to start a project. …
This pristine CJ-7 is kind of a “one-off” CJ in that it has some factory equipment on it that isn’t normally found on a CJ. A perfect example of Jeep’s way of using up what they have. In the years since we first posted info on this Jeep a lot has changed.
One evening in late spring I took my family for a ride in the jeepfan.com 78 CJ-5 which was recently re-assembled from a new Holley Truck Avenger carburetor and some exhaust work. Upon returning home there were 3 CJ’s parked in front of my house, Rich, Mark, and Mike. They were out for some pre-summer …
