1965 Tuxedo Park CJ-5 Fremont, Ca $4500
The pics aren’t the greatest, but it sounds like this is in excellent shape!
“1965 Willy’s Tuxedo Park 20Th Anniversary CJ 5 These jeeps are very rare!!! 225 cu V-6. Holly 400 cfm 4 barrel carb on an Edelbrock manifold. Headers, Overdrive, Full Cage Roll Bar, 11 inch Brakes, Duel gas tanks, Front locking hubs,Tilt and Power Steering and an after market heater. Here are some pictures. I`m going to put it up on a lift and get some pics of frame and running gear for those of you that want more. It`s never had a break or crack in the frame. I even have the original key that came with the jeep when purchased new. It had a single shift transfer case that my dad changed the shifter handles on. You know how those old school folks are. This jeep was set up right. It has a long stroke motor with small primaries in the carburetor for good low end torque and good gas mileage and secondaries for good performance. Its the only 225 I’ve ever seen with a 4 barrel. Not to say they’re not out there. It has 39.000 original miles. With a little cleaning and a nice paint job it would look like new. It has a little dent in the hood and at the bottom of the door. When I say little I mean very little.This jeep was my fathers and he took very good care of it. He passed away 2 years ago and its been sitting outside. It was in the garage for the first 42 years of its life. Its going to be hard to see it go. I would like to see it go to someone who would take care and enjoy it like my dad did. I will send you more pictures if you want. Thanks for looking and hope you like what you see. Steve.

There’s work to do to restore this custom tow truck, but I thought it had some good character. The starting bid is $2000, but I think that’s a bit much considering the engine is frozen and there’s other work to be done.
The image is small, so it’s hard to tell much. There seems to be a slightly funky angle to that passenger fender near the step.
