1966 Jeep CJ5 Dauntless review from North America
"This is the best kept CJ you will ever see"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch linkage broke, so I made a tougher one.
General comments?
I bought this 1966 CJ5 with 24006 miles from an old teacher.
It's been in a airport hanger since 1971. Everything works like new. Original paint, doesn't even need wax. Everything is original; no dents, not even a small scratch. It's an eye turner.
It drives better than the new Jeeps.
I would like to have 4wd put it in their mag or the Jeep mag.
It also came with the owners manual, and for the factory clutch winch, also the top.
