Doug’s ‘New’ 1972 CJ-6

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

Doug picked up this CJ-6 recently. As you can see, this is an example of a jeep that was nicer than the pics taken by the seller. It’s a really good looking jeep, especially with those hurricane rims 🙂

These are the new pics. Doug was able to get some good cloudy-day photos that helped show just how nice the paint is.

New Photos:

Old photos: Between the shadows and the lack of closeups, it’s hard to tell just how nice the paint really is.

In a comment from the post about the FC-150 review by Tom McCahill, Mike remembered seeing McCahill’s review about the Jeep Wagoneer. It didn’t take me long to find a cheap copy of the May 1966 issue (pg 87) that featured the surprisingly enthusiastic review of the Jeep.
