1966 CJ6 ...what exactly?

I bought this from an estate auction... it is a 1966 CJ 6 (per serial #). It's a V6. 14600 miles on it, one owner. With Meyer plow.

I can't find too much else out on it... what model, value? any one have one? Is this a Meyer hard top?

I hope to restore it, put some bigger tires 33's or smaller, maybe a little 2" lift...

New to this site, I like it, great info, and sharing...

thanks in advance.

 

Wow shes a beaut. Welcome from central Va.

 

That sure is a nice ride!! welcome to ECJ5

 

That a nice looking six. Gonna make me cry. CJ6 is merely an extended CJ5. 20" in the passenger compartment added. Do a search on this site and you will find much info. Also, any shots of the interior, seats, dash, etc. Might be nice to see some unmolested JEEP pics. Especially if it is a one owner with low miles.

Also, check out Boyinks site. Welcome.

The model is CJ-6. Value, well, that's a tough question. If she runs and drives, and in that condition, certainly more than $1000 but less than $10,000.

Several of us have one. Mine is my second.

Not sure when production started, but domestic production ended in 1975. They are a bonafide model of Jeep, just like the CJ-5 or CJ-7. They were all factory built, just like you see them now. They share parts with the CJ-5, except those parts needed for the extra 20" of wheelbase (frame, body tub, etc). The factory built the bodies by splitting the CJ-5 panels and inserting a 20" long filler panel, as ytou can likely see by inspection.

The cab is not a Meyer, at least not one of the most common design. The CJ-3B page has a nice article on hard cabs - take a look there and compare your cab with those pictures.

Mike Boyink's blog has some interesting pictures of other CJ-6s. I'd give you a link but you can google it as easily as I can.

Welcome from Boston!

 

thanks everyone. I am learning as i go. I thought it was a meyer hard top just off of pics i saw on the meyer catalog on this site... interesting. i will post more pics of the interior... also is this pickup box very common?

Holy .....................smokes that is in great shape!!! Welcome from Illinois.

 

Thats really nice! Congrats you stumbled on what looks like a really streight original cj6. Looks like a dual PTO as well? two sticks between seats. if so it's the most sot after of the ptos.

 

I like the two tone paint, and the half cab is really nice.

 

It appears that you have "scored"...Enjoy!

 

If ya dont mind, I really gotta know, how much did ya steal this one for?? Ya dont have to say if ya dont want to, just the cat in me peaking my curiosity...

 

wow
thats appears to be a nice, unmolested original! I would love to see engine pix. Is the fan and crank pully white?

The doors look like Meyers but the actual half cab looks like a Koenig to me. Awesome looking rig!! Congrats!!

 

Score ! Great looking original rig 8)

 

Nice, may want to keep that one stock. Looks good! Good year.
