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.

• CATEGORIES: Other 4x4s • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

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.

“Up for sale is a rare az 99 % rust free survivor. Very straight solid body,my mechanic has gone through the jeep and restored it correctly.
very reliable starts rite up every time.
Runs and drives good, power steering, brakes work as they should, 4×4 works good, stop tail lights headlights all work, turn signals not working not sure why, gauges fuel, temp ,oil pressure, all work as they should, overall rust free very solid jeep trail, street ready. New parts paint, Tires wheels wrangler Kevlar $200 each ,weber carb conversion, radiator overflow tank, new battery, brakes, seats, ss grill, many more new parts, jeep runs and drives nice and shifts smooth through all gears,has been well maintained over the years. Check my feedback score and bid with confidence. I have a new ss gauge bezel plate. This may be a modified custom extended cj7 or a factory cj8 prototype, I can’t tell.
But it is well done and solid, the title says 2DSW model year 1979.
Its unique and fun, passenger seat moves forward and step to load people easy. very straight body, new paint.”
