I saw a little gem today for sale.
A first year CJ-5
1965 original body, new leafs. Dash had been screwed with and wiring had been southern engineered.
Had a 302 under the hood and what looked like a set of Mustang seats.
Motor was strong with 33- 12.50 X 15s BFs, needs work to pass inspection, but he was asking $2500

Anyone interested, I'll grab some pics for ya.
 
does the fact thats its a first year CJ mean anything to the price?
I not a real buff on these Jeeps, the guy selling it seems to think it makes it more valuable.

Generally, with collectibles, a first year issue is always a better thing, but with all the things it sounds like have been done to it, it may even itself out. Kinda like a first year issue of a Vette, T-bird, etc. Even beyond the classics like those, first year of a new body style in collectibles, even if not the first year it was actually produced, will sell a bit higher to a collector.
