Beautifully modified Jeep Kaiser for sale
Whenever one thinks of off-roading, SUVs are the first thing that comes to mind. Specifically jeeps, they are known for their rugged looks, off-road capabilities and the practicality part. One such SUV was CJ5 which was also known as Kaiser. The CJ stands for civilian jeep, had a production run of nearly three decades – 1954-1983. Built mainly in the United States, Brazil and Australia, the CJ-5 was the longest serving Jeep in the company’s history. Mahindra, who held the import rights for Jeep in India, did not import the CJ-5. Instead we got the CJ-3B on which Mahindra later build jeeps like Classic.
