UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

Can someone explain to me why a PA title would need to be transferred at a messenger service (what is a messenger service)?  The engine has been taken apart.

“1965 Jeep CJ-5A
Tuxedo Park Mark IV

This Jeep has been in our family for many years. The mileage is probably not correct but it says 22946. I was in the process of rebuilding the engine and restoring it. I have the head removed and valve/pushrod cover removed. Also various other engine parts have been removed and inspected to get to the engine. I have all the removed parts inside the Jeep. This Jeep has never been rebuilt prior to me working on it. The last time this Jeep ran was sometime in the 90’s. It sat in a garage until 2003. That’s when I brought it home and started working on it. Transmission is a T-90 3 on the tree. Engine is a Hurricane F-134, partly dismantled. I’ve included 24 pics on the site but if you would like more please let me know.

Please forgive me I’ve probably left out a lot of details.
But ask/email and I will answer and send as many specific pics as you would like.
The Jeep is for PICK UP ONLY! near Greencastle Pa. 17225.
The Jeep is near 99% original parts, as it has never been attempted to be restored other that the work that I’ve done on it.”

This is rough.  Strangely, the two connecting bars between the front and back loops of the roll cage were cut out.  You can just see where they were on both loops.

I’m sure doing burnouts on pavement can’t be that hard on the tires and the running gear, right?

Les Schwab’s 1959 CJ-5 Bend, OR **SOLD**

UPDATE:  Still Available

I hope someone can buy and properly restore Les’ Jeep (assuming the documentation confirms it was his jeep).  For those that don’t know, Les Schwab bought a tire store in Prineville in 1952 that has become a 330+ store chain here in the west (company history).  Not bad for a guy who became an orphan at the age of 15.  I didn’t know him, but everything I’ve heard suggests he was a man of his word.  According to one reader, he was an early champion of the Formula Desert Dogs.  Les passed away in the summer of 2007.

“This jeep was one of Les Schawb’s that he had on his ranch for over 30 years. I have all DMV documentation and current registration”

Alan writes, “These WWII photos came from my grandfather while he was with VMSB 244 on EWA, HI. The guys would train at Ewa and then go on to Midway and many other Islands during their time in the Marine Corp.”
