With a color scheme and graphics rooted in the 1970s--includig a Trans Am-style eagle decal on the hood--it's little wonder that the Golden Eagle models are some of the most valuable Jeep J10s.
The longest-running Jeep truck series finished its run as the J-Series. But before that, it was called the Gladiator--the same as the modern Jeep pickup. And a well-modified, well-restored Jeep J10 like the 1981 example at the 2021 Mecum Chicago auction can still be a solid workhorse.
Decades before the modern Jeep Gladiator arrived, the first Jeep truck, the Willys-Overland 4x4 Pickup, arrived on the scene. And a restomodded example like the 1955 one that was recently sold at the 2021 Mecum Chicago auction is still cheaper than its brand-new descendant.
