My DJ-6 Project

Let me show you what I found in 2012.

This jeep was advertised on www.Kijiji.ca as a CJ-6 1962. I did ask more details about it and I got more pictures:

I was surprised to see the serial number.
8605 10062

Normally, I was used to see number starting by 8405. So I did some research and found out that 8605 was for a DJ-6. I found the serial information on the CJ3B website.

It was the first one made on September, 1965!

They asked 1200$ for it… A couple of weeks later I was on my way…

A thousand dollars and spare; tire, manifolds, mirror, front right wheels hub later I was on my way back home!

Before shaking hand and putting the jeep on the trailer, I did check if the serial number on the plate match the one on the frame:

I know, it’s hard to see it. Here is a later picture taken while at home;

I was quite happy with my find.

Stay tune. You will see what I found in my research about it in my next post.
