1965 Jeep Cj-5 Tuxedo Park Iv, Dauntless V6, Overdrive, Fresh Frame Off Restore on 2040-cars
Kempton, Pennsylvania, United States
This is an incredibly restored 1965 Jeep CJ-5 Tuxedo Park Mark IV, Dauntless Buick V6, 3 speed and overdrive. The overdrive can be used in any gear, giving you 6 forward speeds if you want them. Powerlock differential front and rear. I am the first titled registered owner since it's restoration was completed in 2012. It was then delivered to a dealer in Connecticut and then purchased by me. I've owned it over one year. The restoration was done by Gary Abby, a long time Jeep enthusiast in Shippensburg, Pa. Mr. Abby told me the following, that he purchased the Jeep from the original owners grandson in Chambersburg PA but the Jeep originally came from West Virginia. The mileage is said to be original. The restoration was done to 1965 1/2 specs with every available option. The Buick V6 is vintage correct, (being made as an available option in Aug 65) It is a 66 block but not original to this particular Jeep. This Jeep came with an I4 but was upgraded during its recent restoration. The transmission is the original T90 but rebuilt with a new gear set and top shifter. The gears are angle cut for easier shifting and were special ordered from California. It has a Husky-Warn type overdrive which I personally had rebuilt by Herm the Overdrive Guy this summer. With the V6 and overdrive, you have no problem doing 65 on the highway, then get to dirt and crawl along in four low. That's pretty amassing for a 65 CJ. The Top is an aftermarket dealer installed option. I prefer this top over the factory one because the doors come off on pins for summer use, and you don't have to remove the whole top. I've put about 300-400 miles on the Jeep, so it's had a good shakedown. There are no problems with this Jeep. I do not, however drive it any any inclement whether. My dad had one of these when I was a kid, hence my purchase, but I'd hate to drive in on our salted northeastern roads, it's just too nice to drive and mess up, so I decided to sell it. I'll consider up or down trades too. I'm mostly interested classic, vintage or special edition motorcycles, maybe also Pontiac muscle cars, 66-69 Buick Rivieras and classic rear wheel drive Cadillacs. No projects or customs. The hubcaps are said to be NOS, possibly worth some dough, but I'm not sure they're correct, or at least, I don't have the trim rings. I do have a restored matching rear jump seat, but this was not correct for the Tuxedo Park model which has padded wheel wells. You can install the rear Jeep seat if you want, but have to drill holes in a brand spanking new floor for a non-original seat. I did not do this. There also are more pix on photobucket. Search there for user dnaj11 or email me for link, or to make an appointment to see the Jeep. I'll be happy to send you or take more photos if you need them.

eBay Find of the Day: Jeep Comanche Zombie Response Unit
Sat, 02 Feb 2013We've seen some pretty fantastic apocalypse vehicles in our day. We've even owned one or two, but this particular Jeep Comanche tugs at our heart strings in all the right ways. Let's start with the basics: there's a stout 4.0-liter engine underhood hooked to a five-speed manual transmission, and while we wish this truck was four-wheel drive, the two-inch lift and oversize tires should help you overcome obstacles with enough momentum.
Details like handy shovels, Jerry cans and a brush guard inspired by the hardware on a CUCV help lend the truck a no-nonsense appeal, and the functional CB whip antenna means you can ask for backup when the undead hordes come your way. If you like what you see as much as we do, you can head over to eBay Motors to place a bid. The auction has inched up to $4,000 with just two days left on the clock.
Jeep: Beautiful Lands
Mon, Feb 2 2015Jeep emphasized the global nature of its all-new Renegade in a 90-second spot during the 2015 Super Bowl. Starting out in America, and with This Land is Your Land playing in the background, the spot splices images of the all-new Renegade with scenery from across the United States. As a global product and the first Jeep built outside the US, though, the spot quickly moves beyond America's borders, showing Renegades, people and scenery from around the globe. As for the Renegade, you can read all about it in our First Drive.
Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner
Wed, Jun 3 2015Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.
