Willys CJ Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1949–1968) — First Generation

The First Generation Willys CJ is an open SUV cabriolet built for work, not show. You get a compact, fold-back body and a gasoline powertrain aimed at rough ground rather than a polished road car.

Willys CJ Engines and Transmissions

A Willys CJ engine in this generation is gasoline, so the powertrain stays simple and mechanical. You work the transmission and drivetrain for low-speed torque rather than quiet highway pace. That setup matches an open SUV cabriolet used on rough ground.
