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.

2014 Jeep Cherokee starting price set at $22,995*
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Love it or hate it, the 2014 Cherokee is on its way to a Jeep showroom near you this fall. Today, Chrysler announced the different trim levels, features and pricing for its new compact utility with a starting price of $22,995 (*not including $995 for destination), which is $400 less than the 2012 Liberty it ostensibly replaces.
Available in four trim levels - Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk - the new Cherokee will come standard with Chrysler's 2.4-liter Tigershark inline four-cylinder engine with the upper three levels offering the option of the company's 3.2-liter Pentastar V6. The base Sport is your typical entry-level model, featuring equipment including manual cloth seats and black exterior mirrors and door handles, but it also has a five-inch Uconnect media center, LED taillights and 10 standard airbags. Stepping up from the Sport model, Latitude and Limited trims bring increasing levels of luxury starting at $24,495 and $27,995, respectively. All three of these trims are front-wheel drive in standard configuration and offer varying versions of Jeep's Active Drive four-wheel-drive system.
The range-topping $29,495 Cherokee Trailhawk (shown above) comes standard with four-wheel drive and numerous upgrades to earn Jeep's Trail Rated fender badge. These changes include a unique design that adds an off-road suspension with taller ride height giving more aggressive approach and departure angles, underbody skid plates, distinguishing exterior design elements and a seven-inch, reconfigurable instrument gauge cluster similar to what it found in high-trim Dodge Dart models. Scroll down for a full breakdown of the 2014 Cherokee pricing and trim levels, and let us know what you think of the model's pricing and equipment in Comments.

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.
