What years was the Jeep CJ-5 made?
Quick Answer
The Jeep CJ-5 was built from 1954 to 1983, one of the longest production runs of any vehicle. Over its life it used the Hurricane four, the Buick 225 V6 (1965-1971), and AMC 232/258 inline sixes and the 304 V8. The short 81 to 83.5 inch wheelbase makes it nimble off-road but nervous on the highway.
The CJ-5 is the classic round-fendered Jeep.
The long run
1954 to 1983, nearly thirty years. Early Willys and Kaiser cars used the Hurricane four and Buick V6; AMC took over in 1970 with the durable 232/258 sixes and the 304 V8.
Buyer's note
Frame and tub rust is the killer; check the steel before the engine.
