Bought an abandoned CJ5 so there is no paperwork on it. Checking the VIN on the internet says it shows to be a 1976, but DMV says it's a 1969...is there a difference with body style or something else that can give me a clue what the real year is? .. thanks

I beieve the hood and front fenders will be a few inches longer if it's a 76. AMC added a few inches to the engine compartment to accommodate their engines.
 
Post some pics of all sides and interior as well as the engine.

We can can tell you what it is. :D
 
Just in case you are not sure how to post pictures...

Easiest way I've found is to upload them to photo bucket, and direct link them here.

Read through that post for a bunch of different ways that all work!

Cant wait to see this puppy! :drool:
