1969 Kaiser Jeepster Commando Pick up


ONLY BID IF YOU ARE LEGIT AND CAN PAY VIA
THE RULES GUIDE LINED IN THE AD , its not that hard.
WE as a seller are legit and honest and here to help
please dont waste our time.  LOW HONEST RESERVE bid to win !

Heres your chance to own a pretty rare model 
Jeepster Commando Truck (or half cab) with the 
spare tire continental kit on it (haha)

You may say this is the original Scrambler !!

As most people know, usually all you see are these in there
Wagon form, but this pick up truck version is way more rare.
this Jeepsters has been a farm truck of sorts here in the Az
desert most of its life. Other then a little rust along the rockers
its a very rust free Jeep. Also being a ranch truck, it wasnt used
a whole lot and mostly just for stuff around the ranch and short
trips into town. In the last 10 yrs its barely been used at all.
It does run and drive , its not fast but has lots of torque.
Motor doesnt smoke or make any weird noises, but it does sound 
like it could a good tune up and maybe a carb rebuild from sitting.
Gas in the tank is all new and good. Trans and brakes feel great.
2 pretty cool options this truck has is PS and PB and both work great
They could be original or added at one time, not sure.

Shows 95k aprox on the odometer, prob original


DRIVETRAIN:
pretty much all original under the hood, 225 V6
factory diffs and trans, which all seem to work great for their
age. But these things where built to last and this one has stood
the test of time for being a work horse on a ranch. Tires are too
bad either. To start the car someone installed a push button
switch on the dash. So you use that and the key to start the car.
Sometimes it wont crank, so Im guessing maybe one of the switches
is getting worn out from age. That or maybe it may need some new
battery cables. We did install a new starter 
solenoid last week.
Choke works and I suggest using it when its cold. It runs a little
rough at idle. When you are on the gas, it runs much better.
Front hubs are unlocking / locking aka Part time, rear is locking Im sure.

INTERIOR: mostly all original and showing its age from the az
heat and sun too. Indoor carpet and seat covers didnt help much.
But if you recovered the seats and sunvisors it would help alot.
It also needs a good cleaning. Floors have some surface rust but
not soft. Its not pretty, but seems to functional and intact and
mostly original too.

EXTERIOR: the original color was 419 Prairie Gold and for some reason the
wheelwells are Red. Not sure if thats stock or not but looks original. The
silver paint on there now looks like it was done in someones driveway.
The body for the most part looks very straight, but the cab did get some dents
in it. The metal on this is so thick, that I think any damaged pcs would be
fixable. There was some mild rust on the rockers that will need patching
if you want to take it that far. Headlights work, but didnt see the taillights
working. Should be pretty simple, not much to the wiring on this thing.
The homemade bumpers would knock down a small building (haha) they 
are stout, but not original of course. It does have a tow hitch in the back
AND comes with a nice front tow bar too. No pitting on what little chrome
is on the truck. Doors all lock like they should and all the glass looks ok
and windows work. Obviously some things have been added to the body but
its all reverse-able too if you want to put it back to stock.

SUSPENSION: looks to be all stock and original , solid and almost
bullet proof the way it came from the factory. Shocks looks to be 
aftermarket and decent too. And it doesnt ride all that bad either
for as stout as it is. Not sure what more I can say, but please check out
ALL the pics below.

Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.







































































































































































Hope you like the detailed pics
The interior floors are in nice shape as in much of the body
Im sure there is some old repairs done over the years
but it is a Project truck if you want to restore it, if you want
It just to go on trails and wheeling, it needs very little.

There you have it, probably The BEST represented JEEPS on Ebay.
 
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. 

Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. 

Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .
Restore a car like this yourself or locally and you know
exactly what you have in the end.

Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
If you treat yourself to buying one of our vehicles
youll never buy a total rust bucket again from anyone !!
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor
intensive which means overall cost is less too !
With less horrid surprises later on.
Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you. 
With other auctions,  you really dont know what to expect
until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER
with great pics to help making your decision easier.
Along with ANY other questions you may have.
Email me for a quote for shipping.
Or fly in and drive it home, its that reliable and clean
.

On May-28-14 at 11:45:45 PDT, seller added the following information:

The ignition or starter part is still giving me issues and works when it 

feels like it, BUT the funny thing is if I put a batter box or charger
on the battery, it will start EVERTIME when I do that. So not sure if its
still a cable, connection or old switch. Just want to put that out there before
the auction ends.

NHTSA investigates FCA for SUVs that roll out of Park

Tue, Aug 25 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2014 Dodge Durango and 2014-205 Jeep Grand Cherokee after 14 complaints of the SUVs rolling out of Park. An estimated 408,000 of them could be affected, if a recall is necessary. All of the current complaints submitted to NHTSA about the issue concern the Grand Cherokee, and the claims allege that the SUV can roll out of Park whether or not the engine is running. Some folks report that they check the indicator each time because the gear sometimes fails to engage. Among the 14 cases, there are five accounts of crashes and three injuries, including a situation with someone allegedly being rolled over. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are meant to investigate "the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence" of a reported problem. They don't necessarily lead to a recall. Related Video: INVESTIGATION Subject : Unattended vehicle rollaway Date Investigation Opened: AUG 20, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15030 Component(s): POWER TRAIN All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) DODGE DURANGO 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2014-2015 Details Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 14 complaints (VOQs) alleging that after being placed in Park the subject vehicles have then rolled away from their parked position. The unintended motion has occurred with both the engine off and the engine running. ODI has also identified EWR field report data related to the alleged defect. The model year 2014 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles are equipped with an electronic gear selector (shift-by-wire system). The gear selection is made by pressing the shifter-paddle forward or backwards; the shifter does not move along a gate path as with conventional gear selectors. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to asses the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence of the alleged defect. The VOQs associated with the opening of this investigation are: 10733158, 10730952, 10683556, 10679497, 10583366, 10725429, 10715401, 10711893, 10676998, 10668651, 10662619, 10662308, 10605865, and 10567538.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

FCA plotting larger Jeep Renegade, Fiat 500XL

Mon, Mar 23 2015

The joint development of the new Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X goes to show what the combined efforts of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group can yield. But don't expect the Italian-American automaker to stop there. According to Autocar, the company is planning to base another pair of larger SUVs on the same platform. The Jeep version would take the place of the previous Compass and Patriot, slotting in between the Renegade and Cherokee. Meanwhile, the Fiat version would further bolster the Cinquecento lineup to sit alongside the 500 hatchback, 500L minivan and 500X crossover. Details remain few and far between at the moment, but they wouldn't be the extent of the growth plans for either brand. Jeep is reportedly zeroing in on a decision on the long-rumored sub-Renegade model, while also preparing to expand up-market with the return of the Grand Wagoneer. Fiat is reportedly abandoning the prospect of offering a full model line as it once did. While the 500 range will continue to form a vital part of the brand's business, it's also tipped to be going after the no-frills, bare-bones market dominated by Renault's Dacia brand. To that end, it would seek to build upon the Panda by offering a larger, but still low-cost hatchback to rival the Ford Focus and VW Golf, and succeed the discontinued Fiat Bravo, but based on the 500L's platform and built in Turkey to keep costs down. This second pillar of the Fiat brand wouldn't likely be offered in the US, however, where we'd expect the 500 line to continue representing the Italian automaker. Related Video:
