    I seem to be on a Tuxedo Park roll. Had one and sold it, just found the 9th Mark IV Tuxedo Park made and now have a line on a 4 cyl Tuxedo Park w/ a factory 4 speed. Anyone hear of such a thing? I'm gonna follow up but it sounds like the mythical CJ3B w/ V6 or 3B w/ T98.
    Anyone have any info or hear of one before?

    A friend of mine had a Tuxedo Park with F-134 and T-98. It had the factory chrome bumper so I am inclined to think it was a Tuxedo Park.

    There is just so much around me. If I told you what I haven't followed up on because of time and distance you'd cry.

    Let me know if you find some good info on the Tux. I have #28 of the CJ6a,s and it has a 225 V6 T90 and twin stick D18. I know this is a weird combo for a Tux so I'm trying to do some research myself. The seller told me this was an experimental engine at the time. I'm beginning to think thats BS and they just droped the Tux body on a later model CJ6 frame.

    If it's a T90 it's more likely someone dropped a 225 in Tuxedo Park CJ-6 #28 IMO. ;)

    Frame numbers match the VIN?

    Do the serial numbers indicate Tuxedo Park? Isn't the passeneger side frame rail where the serial number is located if you don't have a firewall tag?
    # 10009 has a single stick transfercase which is factory and had the hood snorkle but no cowl battery box.

    I just bought the Tux and haven't taking the tub off and dont really plan to. But judging by what you guys said I bet the frame #s don't match the Vin. So it's prob not 100% Tuxedo Park.

    The part manuals specifically show that the t-98 was not in a cj5a.

    That notwithstanding, if it took putting a t-98 in a cj5a in order to sell one I'm sure Jeep would do it!

    Don't need to take the tub off to read the numbers on the frame.

    If it's really a T90 trans I'm guessing the engine was swapped into a Tux, not a Tux body on a later chassis, which would be a T86 or T14.

    does the sales brochure I sent you show the T98 as an option on the 4 cyl Tux ?

    okay, thought I remembered it being shown
    now the only question: did they actually build any ?

    Supposedly they never built a M170 ambulance w/ a 4 speed but my buddy had one and it had a military 4 speed data tag.

    What about a Mark IV w/ V6 w/ 4 speed?
