Here is another interesting article that I came across the other day. A collection of 4 photos of Jeeps desert racing in the late 60′s and early 70′s. The article was printed in JP magazine, but is available online HERE.

Reid Norden, shared the photos with JP magazine. The photos were taken of his dad, Orrin, back when he raced Jeeps for Brian Chuchua’s Jeep in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Anyone have any good photos or stories about Chuchua and his racing Jeeps?

You may recall our previous articles on the 1959-61 and 1965 Jeep lineups at Allpar.com . Now we are going to look at the 1975-1976 Jeep vehicles. By far the biggest change was the introduction of the CJ-7 in 1976, which had a 20″ longer wheelbase than the CJ-5. This allowed for a better ride, easier access, and more storage room.

For the Cherokee and Wagoneer, the biggest change was the mid 1975 release of the Cherokee Chief. The Chief came with larger “off road” tires, flared fenders, and 3.54 gears, among other upgrades. Both the Wagoneer and Cherokee came with an upgraded frame and suspension in 1976, as did the pickup. For more information, including stats, measurements and more, check out the Allpar 1975-76 Jeep Lineup page.
