David Magana bought this CJ-5 out of Arnold, California. He was wondering if anyone recognized it or had any previous history about it?
“Though I am reluctant to sale it, I unfortunately have to get rid of my super clean 1966 Jeep CJ-5A Tuxedo Park model with only 49,000 original miles. This is a rare, classic, mostly stock jeep with the exceptions of a few practical add ons such as the winch, tow bar (comes with tow lights), newer BF Goodrich 31″x10.50×15 all terrain tires, full cage roll bar, and back spare tire carrier with 2 nice jerry cans. Even has the old vintage heater, Tuxedo Mark 4 chrome emblems, etc. This was the first year of the Buick v-6 dauntless 225 motor. The jeep also has a newly rebuilt 3-speed transmission and new clutch which cost me $2000 dollars (I have the receipt from the transmission shop with a 1 year warranty) and new exhaust system. The body and paint are very nice, with no dents and no rust. The interior floor has been rhino lined black, the black interior seats are perfect with no rips. I have a really nice black back seat for it, but it is not mounted in the rig. The soft top and doors are almost new. Runs great, shifts great, and brakes are good. This vehicle is a really affordable way to drive something which is very fun,(feels like you are driving and old tractor), cool and classic. Come check it out and you will love it. The jeep is ready for your next adventure, whether it be to the store, beach, or mountain pass. My loss your gain.—I will add more photos tomorrow.”
Hello!
I just bought this Jeep in November 2016. Would like to get any information and history from the previous owner(s).
Thank you!
David
Hi David,
I’ve updated the post. I will bump the jeep to the front page on Thursday morning and ask readers if anyone knows anything about it.

Hi David!
Just checking in. I have not yet recieved any additional information on this awesome CJ. Improvements to the engine, instruments and body continue. The steering or bushings are next to be repaired!
BTW: I purchased this vehicle from Mr. Pedro Cortez in Alameda, California.
Take care,
David
Thanks David. I haven’t received any more information via email either. I’m glad to hear things are progressing on it!
