1965 CJ-5 Tux Park Klickitat, WA $8500

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

Blaine spotted this Tux Park IV accidentally listed under the trailers category. Could be worth a look. I can’t tell if there is some whitish spray paint on the lower half of the doors or if that is caused by shadows.

It’s a magic trick the enemy knows about by now, to their sorrow. But new glider tricks are promised. This is training attack at South Plains Army Air Field, Lubbock, Texas. Photo measures 8 x 10.25 inches. Photo is dated 09-06-1943.”

1946 CJ-2A Lefty? Inchelium, WA $5000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: , , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000.

(10/17/2019) This has a driver’s side mounted spare, so might be a lefty body, but the grille is early. It looks like it has a sears top, not a “homemade cab”.
