The Jeep CJ6 seems to truly be the “forgotten Jeep”. I went through every Jeep book I had last night and could only find passing reference to it. One book did say that the CJ6 was 150 lbs heavier than a CJ5, and cost $150.00 more than the 5 when new, yet yearly production averaged only 2500 units.
The web is similarly thin on CJ6-specific content. To illustrate - we’re only a few weeks into this project, and I’m already in the top 5 Google results for CJ6. Here’s what I’ve found so far on the web:
CJ6 Photo Index hosted at Off-Road.com. I can’t tell if the parent website is a going concern or not.
Jim Marski’s Civilian Jeeps website has a way-cool Tuxedo Park CJ6 and a “I’m guessing pretty rare” DJ6.
Over at JeepWire, Terry Howe’s Project Deep Six gets extensive coverage.
Carl Lavallee is building a 1975 CJ6, and has posted pictures of the project at his Webshots Album.
Know of any other CJ6 resources on the web? Drop me a note.
