1965 Jeep CJ5a Tuxedo Park Mark IV. Still retains the original column shift, chrome front bumper, chrome mirror mounts and indian ceramic steering wheel. Has later model Levi denim type interior in good condition. Fuel tank has been moved to rear and later model roll bar has been added. I'm assuming this is a later model tub as well. Paint is crackling on hood and has lots of little scuffs and nicks, but shines up well - actually get compliments on paint as long as the person issuing the compliment is more than 20 ft away. Weld wheels have some blemishing and rust areas, but once again look great from 20 ft. Top is in excellent condtion. Engine runs well. Has had a recent valve job with new seals but still smokes just a little on start up. Runs out good, but has a chattering clutch and a little vibration at higher rpm, could be just needing adjustment or have oil on the disk, but I would bid as if a clutch replacement was in the near future. Does leak oil and tranny fluid. Rear end is a later model centered unit instead of the original offset. D18 transfer case has been replaced with later model D20 to match rear end. The drum emergency brake went away with the old D18 transfer case and new cables have yet to be added.
I see no major rust areas or bubbling. I will be glad to take pics of ay area upon request.
If you know the history of the Jeeps, you know the Tuxedo Park production was limited. I have yet to see one that still retained the column shift. I am not the one who did all the changes/modifications but I will answer questions as best I can.

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.
Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
Jeep mulling power top for next Wrangler
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Jeep is hard at work on the next-generation Wrangler, though the truck is still a few years from hitting the trails. The new model will still be aimed at off-roaders, but rumors suggest it will be a little more comfortable than previous versions to appeal to more people.
According to Road and Track, Jeep is developing a power-retractable top as an expensive option for the Wrangler. There is no word if the top in question is a sliding canvas rollback like the ones found on many European vehicles or a full convertible hardtop or softtop, nor do we know whether it would be made available on two- or four-door models. It might be a nice feature for some buyers but would certainly add complexity to a truck already known for its ruggedness. We asked Jeep for confirmation, but Jeep spokesperson Todd Goyer could only remind us that the company "can't comment about future products."
In news that is likely to irk the faithful, R&T reports the next model may also ditch its folding windshield for improved safety and possibly even get rid of its rear-mounted, full-size spare tire. The new Wrangler won't go completely soft, though, and will reportedly still feature removable doors and solid axles.
