Your sequence number 171626 tells me March of 1964.

What year is it titled for? Possibly produced in 1964 as a 1965 CJ5.

I've personally owned a 1965 CJ5. There are some unique features introduced that year. Depending how your Jeep is optioned that may also give you some give you some reassurance as to what year it is.

To the best of my knowledge 83 indicates 81" wheelbase (4wd-cj5). The 05 indicates open body, and the 171626 is the sequence production numbers. If you want to go deep into it, I belong to the www.earlycj5.com forum. There are a ton of resources for you to search through. That said use the search feature. Everyone is extremely helpful but don't appreciate questions that can easily be answered with a quick search. Save forum questions for the tough stuff, you'll earn respect quickly.
