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.

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”.
