"For sale I have I believe a 1964 willys cj5 tuxedo park with 15000 original mileage. This was purchased from the original owner. I had this running a couple years ago it ran great the dauntless v6 ran great and it drove good. The trencher worked just as it should. It is equipped with a half cab that is in great shape. There is some small spots of surface rust here or there but it Is rock solid no rot. The trencher has been on since day one I have the tailgate that was removed to install it. Along with the jeep I have a ton of spare trencher parts there is almost enough to build a second trencher minus the boom. I have no clue what this is worth I don't want to give it away if interested message me and we can talk."
UPDATE: Terry points out that Ford used the marketing term "Sports Utility" in 1966 ads. Previous to that, in 1947, Crosely marketed a "Sports Utility" vehicle.
Crosely (see bottom of the ad):
This 1966 ad for the Ford Bronco has text near the bottom that reads, "Try the Wagon, Roadster, or Sports Utility at your Ford dealer now". The Sports Utility model is the one with the half cab:
Here's a 1966 Ford Commercial that identifies each of the models:
Original Post Jan 31, 2019:Dan 'Scramboleer' spotted this Motor Trend March 2019letter-to-the-editor about the origin of the term 'Sports Utility Vehicle'. Essentially, Jeep's marketing department was attempting to cease the use of the term jeep-like (and similar jargon) to describe offload vehicles. The concern was that it was diluting the value of the Jeep Trademark. So, they came up with the term Sports Utility Vehicle idea. The Journalists took it from there, shortening it to SUV.

Only 260 miles since complete restoration TOP Converts to Half Cab, Full or Canopy Removable Tow Bar included with safety chains
Beautiful restoration in Candy Apple red. This Willys was kept indoors in dry New Mexico climate. Family owned since 1951. Pristine original condition. Only modification is upgraded turn signal regulator. Starts and drives great. Steering is tight. Suspension is very smooth, does not rattle. It is a blast to drive! Full original white soft top has never been off other than to replace it at restoration.
Gauges lights all work and had a recent tune up. Over the years we did 3 complete body off, nut and bolt restorations and it has always been Candy Apple red and it is completely original, engine, trans, etc. Each time we restored it to pristine condition and had a new top and upholstery redone. Never used offroad. Tow bar."
"1952 Willys CJ3A Auburn Jeep-a-Trench Trencher Jeep. Project - must sell to save this iron. I will consider fair offers. Early Auburn Trencher wheel drive, on a 1952 Willys CJ3A. No Title. Low miles. NE Ohio. Akron / Canton Area. This Trencher was used to dig irrigation ditches on a golf course in Northern Ohio. It was sitting outdoors when I saved it. Frame is in great shape. Leaf springs are ok. Body is pretty good (my opinion), No filler. Could use new front floor of course. Half cab top bows – no canvas, no door frames, Monarch Governor with handle and cable. Motor and Transmission are locked, I disconnected the drive shaft to roll it. I removed all brake drums also, found one rear hub was cracked so I replaced both rears hubs. Green narrow 16" jeep wheels go with it, see last picture."
(07/30/2011) The seller knows the whole history of this jeep.
"1946 Willy's bought new at Al Archard Motors 224 E. Grand ave, Escondido. Has the very desirable half cab top that was originally canvas but was covered in galvanized tin back in the early 1950's by tom Bandy's Blacksmith shop. She starts right up and purrs ! Engine runs strong and all gearing and four wheel drive components function. It will need the brakes, steering, suspension and cooling system addressed before putting her back on the road. This jeep was built for both agricultural use and recreation. The prior owner told me stories of he and his father driving it up 395 into the Sierras in the 1950's then returning home to use it as the tractor on the ranch. It was still attached to a plowing disc when I purchased it. This little Willy's is perfect for parades, Tractor shows or just looking good in the yard. I have title and it is registered 'non-op'."
It runs but isn't quite 'street-able'; I'm not sure if that is a handling issue or street-legal issue.
"This is a running driving Willys with a clean title. All the lights including blinkers work, and this vehicle is very close to being street-able. I converted this to run a chevy 4.3 v-6. It was rebuilt 5 years with new marine vortec heads and edelbrock conversion intake and carb. I used a adapter plate with a brand new input gear to use the a original Willys trans and transfer-case. I have had this in the mud once and it worked out great. Could use a lager radiator but is not needed. It comes with extra parts like windshield frame, a good hood, axles, more transmissions and transfer cases, a aluminum half cab, a custom full roll cage, and several other parts. The body has had work done to it in the past and the paint is flaking off. The jeep is overall solid and would make a good project or toy as is."
