Dave and Cindy’s 1965 Tuxedo Park

• CATEGORIES: CJ5, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Yesterday Dave Alexander wrote to share the Tuxedo Park he and his wife Cindy have owned for nearly two decades.

He writes, We have had ours since 1994. We bought it from an older guy who towed it behind his motorhome occasionally, he was original owner . It had 32k now has 48k I think. My wife and I drive it a little every summer and enjoy it very much. We pile the dogs in and go. It’s got the two speed shifter between seats giving it 6 forward gears, and posi front and rear diffs, I have the original white softop and doors in rafters. Also have a rear wheel tire kit I took off so we can drop tailgate. It will cruise at 70 on freeway on calm day all day long, just don’t turn to sharp cause my wife will fall out. The Shepard fell out once, I just went back and picked him up, he sure had a funny look I his face. And in the snow, only once, it will swap ends in a New York minute.

Glenn pointed out this unusual 4Wd jeep-like vehicle that was offered for import back in 1972. I can’t imagine too many of them made it to the states.

Dennis noted that the VIN indicates these are CJ-7s.

Craig spotted this CJ-7 tour jeep. Seems like a good price. I suspect this jeep comes from the same tour Tucson company as these CJ-7 tour jeeps that were auctioned back in 2012.

“While driving down a street, we spotted an old dusty willy’s jeep. It belonged to a widow’s husband and was sitting for many years collecting dust near the back of her house. We were told that the jeep was running until he passed and it sat since 2010. It is in good shape for being a 67 year old jeep! It has a 327 with aluminum intake and camel bump heads, automatic transmission, a removable tow bar, a front windshield that smoothly tilts, and locking hubs. There is a rack to hold two Jerry cans. The body and the floors are surprisingly solid and there is only a small amount of rust on the driver’s side, which is an easy repair. There is a removable tow b

We were given a signed DMV Title Replacement form, so one just has to go to AAA or the DMV to get a new title.

I had no idea there were this many Pepsi Surreys produced.  I can’t believe someone didn’t get this photo in color. Eighteen of these were sent to Tulsa. I can’t imagine there aren’t a few stragglers still in the area. This photo is from the March 1960 issue of Jeeps News.

Published at the Jurgen Chronicles: http://misterjurgen.blogspot.com/2012/09/lubbocks-silent-wings-museum.html

Dallas Durham recently visited the Silent Wings Glider Museum in Lubbock, TX, and photographed some of the toy jeeps. After searching the internet, I learned that Silent Wings is the official museum of the National World War II Glider Pilots Association. It looks like an interesting place, so when we go through Texas (maybe after the FC-Roundup), we’ll definitely stop there.

Here are a few links related to Silent Wings.

http://silentwingsmuseum.org/museum/

They have at least one jeep. I’ve seen a photo of the jeep inside the glider and outside, so I can’t guarantee how it is currently presented. Here are photos published on the Jurgen Chronicles of it outside the glider:
