Who bought CJ new

[2lostspace]

I was just wondering who purchased a CJ new or near new from a dealer? How did the price compare to other 4x4 at the time? What was the cost? Do you think that the jeeps sold today are over priced? I am just curious about that seeing as I was only 11 when the CJ model was discontinued.

Out of all the CJ owners I know, I don't know of one who bought it new. When I was growing up we always owned Wagoneers though. Many were brought home new from the lot.

I bought a new CJ5 Super Jeep in 1973. If I remember right it was about $32oo. It had no top heres a couple old pics from a couple days after I bought it.

Wow, those are some great shots of the Super Jeep. I had forgotten about the smooth chrome front bumper and the white walls look great!

wow.....the 63 Super Jeep is probably the most rare CJ model ever turned out. There are no records of how many were actually made, and I have an old collectors book that states that as of 1999, extensive research has only found 2 of them being preserved!

Tell me when you got that Jeep, you also recieved all the little goodies that came with. I bought my 74 from the second owner w/32K miles in 1988, and he also gave me "stuff" like a Jeep patch (red white and blue just the grill really), a original repair manual (very cool), and the Jeep newsletter. I have even seen cups and other stuff that was handed out.. Looks like AMC wanted to keep the "Jeep Thing" alive even back then.

Yea I wish I had kept that one but at the time I didn't know how rare they were.
I feel cheated though as I don't remember getting any patches or things like that. But hey you know what they say "If you remember the 70's you didn't live though them"
By the way my wife still likes to go wheelen, I'm lucky I guess, I don't catch to much h-ll for spending money on the Jeep.

I have a 1973 CJ5 Super Jeep hand me down from my dad. I don't know how much he payed for it, and have no idea what it would sell for now.
