This is being sold as a 1969 CJ-5 with only 8730 miles on it. Yet, the tail lights and the front parking lights are not original. The speedometer does not look original either (wasn’t the 69 CJ-5 still using the 0-9 speedo?). Anyone else have thoughts about it?

Based on my ’69, the cats-eye front lights match. The tail lights are at the original locations, but were round; the reverse lights look correct. The speedo is the later model with the double digits and chrome ring. The 0-9 was in mine. The reflectors on the hood appear to be missing the elevation bezels. There may be a marker light in the center of the spare, which would not be there if the jeep had the reflector set. Chrome wiper motor cover and chrome wiper joint access plugs would not have been typical. Outside rear-view mirror is also later square variety.
But heck, it’s still pretty!
Thanks. I wasn’t sure when those front lights changed and the 69s I found on the internet had the smaller parking lights.
