Jeep Lovers Can't Wait to Get Their Hand on These Models
Since the early 1940s, Jeeps have traveled around the world. Known for their impressive off-road capabilities and rugged looks, they have also taken the collector's world by storm. In fact, many of the older, more iconic models sell for the highest prices on today’s secondhand market. Let’s take a closer look at 15 iconic Jeep models that collectors are fighting over today.
Jeepster Commando
The Jeepster Commando was initially introduced to rival the iconic Ford Bronco. This rugged car came in various forms, including convertible, wagon, and pickup truck. Depending on the condition, the Commando attracts a lot of attention on the secondhand market and typically sells for upwards of $20,000.
Jeep FC 150 Concept
The Jeep FC 150 Concept was a unique addition to the brand. Designed to have a bigger bed space, the car was both powerful and practical. For this reason, it doesn’t come as too much of a surprise that it sells for a hefty price on the collector’s market.
Jeep M715
While the M715 was designed to be used as a military truck, it still attracts plenty of attention on the secondhand market. With few models in circulation, it’s incredibly rare and typically sells for upwards of $20 000.
Wrangler CJ-10
Even though the Wrangler CJ-10 wasn’t too well-received in the US, it certainly turned heads in Europe and Asia. Known for its distinctive headlight design, the car is now incredibly rare and, therefore, fetches a high price on the collector’s market.
J10 Short Bed
The J10 Short Bed is one of the rarest models out there. In fact, it’s often forgotten about entirely, as the car was overshadowed by the Gladiator’s release. However, it still sells for a whopping $30,000 on the secondhand market and is highly sought after by classic car enthusiasts.
Wrangler CJ-6
The Wrangler CJ-6 is essentially the longer-wheelbase version of the Wrangler CJ-5. While it wasn’t super popular following its initial release, it has gained traction over the years, especially on the collector’s market. As a result, you can expect to pay anywhere between $20,000 and $30,000 for one in good condition.
Wrangler CJ-8 Scrambler
The Wrangler CJ-8 Scrambler is definitely a top model amongst collectors. It was only in production for a total of 5 years, which also makes it quite rare and pricey. For a Scrambler in good condition, you can expect to pay upwards of $30,000.
Wrangler CJ-7 Golden Eagle
The CJ-7 Golden Eagle was initially released in 1977 and turned heads for its unique styling. Moreover, it delivered an impressive performance, making it the ultimate package. Despite this, it isn’t the rarest Jeep out there, which contributes to its relatively affordable secondhand price of $10,000.
Grand Cherokee SRT8
Unlike other models, the Grand Cherokee SRT8 was made for sheer speed. Due to its unique design, the car attracted considerable attention from collectors. Nowadays, a well-maintained SRT8 sells for upwards of $30,000.
Wrangler Hurricane Concept
The Hurricane Concept is one of the most highly sought-after Jeeps out there. In fact, it’s also the most pricey Jeep sold—ever! Despite its unique design, which includes no roof, a single side door, and only 2 passenger seats, this model sells for upwards of $2 million on the secondhand market.
Grand Cherokee WK2
The Grand Cherokee WK2 was released in 2013 and, in many ways, was the pinnacle of luxury for Jeep. With a powerful engine and several interior innovations, this car now attracts considerable attention on the collector's market, selling for close to $100,000.
Wrangler Unlimited Dragon
Produced in 2014, the Wrangler Unlimited Dragon really is one of a kind. Not only does it have a stunning design, but it also performs as any Jeep should. Collectors can’t wait to get their hands on this vehicle, contributing to the high sales price of $30,000.
Wrangler Unlimited Polar
The Wrangler Unlimited Polar is another rare edition to the Jeep lineup. It sells for upwards of $25,000 on the secondhand market, showcasing just how popular it is among automotive enthusiasts.
Wrangler YJ Rio Grande
The Wrangler YJ Rio Grande was only produced for a single year, which massively contributes to its high price on the secondhand market.
Wrangler TJ Rubicon Tomb Raider
Following the immense success of the Tomb Raider film, Jeep released a special edition vehicle with the same name. While only 1,000 models were ever produced, the car gained considerable traction among collectors. Nowadays, they sell for anywhere between $30,000 and $50,000.
