PRICE REDUCED!!! The title indicates this vehicle as a 1965, but the Buick V6 that came with was only offered in 1966-1970, so the model is probably a '66. The engine is new; the miles indicated on the odometer are for the engine (currently 20 miles). This is a CJ5 purpose built for serious off-roading and rock crawling. The vehicle has current registration in AZ and is insured, but is not a street vehicle. It will max out at about 45 MPH because of the high-torque gearing. The brake lights do work however. The Jeep starts and runs great; the body is in bad condition. This is a trail rig not a show car. There is a lot of body rust and damage, this way you won't feel bad if you scrape it on a rock while climbing some boulders. All of the work has been done at home not in a shop. I have spent over $18K building this rig and untold hours of time. I have not driven it off road in over 5 years, so it is time to let it go and at less than half of my investment.

Fender trimming, the rear tires will hit the fenders when flexed out. Trailer Available : A trailer is available for purchase if the buyer wishes. It is a Carso 16’ utility/hauler with ramps stored under the deck. It has 18” high rails, a treated wood deck, a ball hitch and a 7-round wire attachment for lights and electric brakes. It is wide enough to fit a full size truck. The CJ5 just fits width wise (plenty for length). The trailer has current CA registration. I will throw in the trailer for $500 if the buyer wishes. The trailer is not available alone without purchase of the Jeep.
