John and Jeff shared this Canadian-made CJ-5. It looks in good shape. That’s a curious radio setup in the dash.

Very early ’70 probably built in ’69 with the hood reflectors and under seat gas tank. 2370 units later than my friend’s mid-69 built in Canada and sold by Woodie’s Jeeps in Houston TX new. Best I can determine, CJ production was shifted briefly to Windsor right across the border to free up space in Toledo for all the military contracts during Vietnam. Plus ’69 was the first year of the DJ5 Postal Dispatcher contract and built in Toledo.
15+k? maybe after seeing frame and undercarriage rust.
