the guy that owns it says it is 1973 CJ5 .Titled as CJ5 has CJ5 on the grill but is longer than a 5 or a 7.

A CJ6 comes to mind...but this doesn't really look like that either. Looking at the picture, it really doesn't look much different then a stock CJ5 except for the door entry and the newer style longer nose.....

...But all of this could be the angle of the picture.

Looks like a total custom job to me. It has the newer front end and windshield frame on it but the door openings aren't a 5 6 or 7.

Looks like a fiberglass tub to me...

Is it possible someone lengthened the stock CJ5 frame and put this tub on it?

I'm NOT a CJ5 expert by any means, but shouldnt the lower section / front of the door opening line up better with the lower section of the cowl???

Looks suspicious to me.

No way a 73 CJ5

I would have to say fiberglass tub also. The tub just doesnt look right.

Looks like a 7 too me. Are those upper door hinges I see ? Are those 31s I'm gonna go get my dial caliper. Neet body work though!

I believe what we have here folks is a total custom. The tub is a fiberglass reproduction of a CJ6 , which you can buy from JC Whitney. I would say that someone had a CJ6 frame, put the reproduction tub on it, and used a front clip/drive train grafted from a CJ5 , including the data plate. if you look at the front of the door where the hinges would normally be, you can see it didn't quite work out right. Here is the link for the tub:
