59 Or 66

ok i got my jeep 4 years ago it was a 66cj5 with 225 t86 d18 now it has a 231even fire thanks to oldtime .the body is a 59 except grill and hood when asked what year it is i say it is a 66 with a 59 body would you say it was a 66 or 59, by the way changing the amber turn signals to clear with amber bulb that i found in my parts pile

 

looks nice
title said 66 . so it's a 66

 

I agree .

 

I'd go with the oldest date you can claim legitimately, for purposes of inspection and registration etcetera. Older vehicles get more breaks and lower fees.

 

the title says it a 2015, its a long story

 

We like stories …. and pictures....

 

Did your Jeep come from California by any chance ?

 

Like your jeep...

 

when i got the jeep the title wasn,t signed by po so never was registered. so got receipt for jeep and kept all receipts for parts like fenders ,body ,d27 every thing . applied for builders title in indiana police comes over and check if it has a serial number if no number they sign the papers the dmv gives you ,the dmv sends a serial number i got a data plate on ebay took it to a engraver put the plate on jeep the police come back to check if number is on jeep signs title papers go to bmv 200$ for title 200$ for tags and register it. only bad is, it is a 2015 no antique tags

 

the paint is farm and tractor pant i hate to admit its ford blue and cant put anything white on it because im a hoosier and blue and white is kentucky wildcats colors

 

Very nice. I agree '66

 

Interesting story, good lookin Jeep.
And yep, its a "66".

 

To me the appearance is 59, because of the battery box cover. But 99.999% of people you meet won't know that.

 

I vote 59...but im prejudiced to that year

 

If your title says 2015, how will you get it to pass any inspection or emissions?

 

no inspection or emission in indiana
