Mork and Mindy was an American sitcom that aired on ABC from September 1978 to May 1982. A spin-off after a highly successful episode of Happy Days, it starred the late Robin Williams as Mork, an extraterrestrial who comes to Earth from the planet Ork in a small, one-Orkan egg-shaped spaceship. GreenLight replicates the 1972 Jeep CJ as seen in the series.

I am a fan of the show and a collector of die cast Jeeps.
The ad states that "GreenLight’s attention to detail make these vehicles outshine any other manufacturer’s vehicles" and "GreenLight replicates the 1972 Jeep CJ as seen in the series". This is not true.
Mindy's jeep seen in the opening credits of the series is a 1972 Jeep CJ-5 produced by the American Motors Corporation (AMC). The 1972 AMC jeep had electric windshield wipers mounted at the bottom of the windshield frame with the motor mounted outside the frame on the driver's side. The model Jeep pictured in the add has the older vacuum powered windshield wipers mounted at the top of the windshield frame.
The 1972 AMC Jeep had the fuel tank located under the cargo deck with the filler cap in the rear. The model Jeep pictured has the filler cap on the driver's side next to the door opening, indicating the fuel tank is located under the drivers seat.
The location of the wipers and fuel filler cap indicate the model pictured was based on a pre-1970 CJ-5 produced by Kaiser Motors or a pre-1963 CJ-5 produced by Willy's Motors.
In the TV show opening you can clearly see that Mindy'd Jeep had the high back bucket seats in the front for the driver and passenger. The model pictured has low back bucket seats.
The rear wheel opening of the model is trapezoidal in shape. All CJ-5s had round openings. While some owners do cut the openings to fit larger tires, this was not done to Mindy's CJ-5 seen in the TV series.
In the TV show opening you can clearly see that Mindy's CJ-5 has been fitted with a full roll cage extending to top of and then down along the sides of the windshield frame. The model pictured does not have the full roll cage, only a roll bar. The Roll bar on a CJ-5 is mounted on top of the rear wheel wells and does not extend to the floor as shown in the model. The floor mounting location for the roll bar was not used on the CJ-5 and was first introduced on 1976 CJ-7.
While this may be a licensed product, the model pictured is not an accurate representation of Mindy's Jeep in the TV show, nor any OEM 1972 CJ-5, and should not be advertised as such.
