1965 Jeep CJ5a Tuxedo Park Mark IV. Still retains the original column shift, chrome front bumper, chrome mirror mounts and indian ceramic steering wheel. Has later model Levi denim type interior in good condition. Fuel tank has been moved to rear and later model roll bar has been added. I'm assuming this is a later model tub as well. Paint is crackling on hood and has lots of little scuffs and nicks, but shines up well - actually get compliments on paint as long as the person issuing the compliment is more than 20 ft away. Weld wheels have some blemishing and rust areas, but once again look great from 20 ft. Top is in excellent condtion. Engine runs well. Has had a recent valve job with new seals but still smokes just a little on start up. Runs out good, but has a chattering clutch and a little vibration at higher rpm, could be just needing adjustment or have oil on the disk, but I would bid as if a clutch replacement was in the near future. Does leak oil and tranny fluid. Rear end is a later model centered unit instead of the original offset. D18 transfer case has been replaced with later model D20 to match rear end. The drum emergency brake went away with the old D18 transfer case and new cables have yet to be added.
I see no major rust areas or bubbling. I will be glad to take pics of ay area upon request.
If you know the history of the Jeeps, you know the Tuxedo Park production was limited. I have yet to see one that still retained the column shift. I am not the one who did all the changes/modifications but I will answer questions as best I can.

Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March
Thu, 17 Jul 2014
You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.
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.
