This is a very rare and clean 1967 Jeepster Commando half cab. Paint is in very nice shape with minor chips and scratches. Tailgate opens and shuts great, has a few minor dents in it as you can see in the pictures. Interior looks very nice. All gauges except gas gauge. Wipers work, all lights work, horn works. 4 wd works as it should! This is a very clean rust free vehicle. Original owner bought this and moved to California where this was used as a work vehicle moving tools around his ranch. 15 years ago he tried pulling out a stump and blew out the clutch . It then sat for another 8 years until he sold it to the gentleman I purchased it from who use to work on the farm. He swore to me that miles were actual. I have no way of knowing for sure but I can tell you the vehicle looks to be in great shape. When the second owner got it the first thing he did was pull the original motor and transmission and 2 years later put in a very nice 350 with a 4 speed tranny, 1st is granny gear. Vehicle originally was a v6 with a 3 speed. In the 7 years he owned it he thinks he may have put 200-300 miles on the vehicle. I drove this 15 miles home cruises down the road at 50 mph. The only issue I found was when you apply the brakes the truck pulls to the right. I would highly suggest trailering this home and looking at the tires and brakes before driving long distance. As for rust there is a small amount on the roof, it is very hard to see and if you walk around it you miss it at first. The body looks great. The only rust I see at all is the tiny little spots on the floor which is minor surface rust. If you rub a towel on it, it will start to rub off. I do not know much about these but I ran the codes from the plate and it is a true half cab. Pictures give you a great idea of the condition. With a buff job and minor tlc this would be a very fun driver. Reserve is set very low. If you have any questions please email or call Chris. 541-441-0099

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?
Tue, 29 Oct 2013Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.
NHTSA closes investigation into Jeep Liberty fires
Sun, 16 Mar 2014The investigation that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened into the Jeep Liberty in October 2013 has been closed. NHTSA received two (!) complaints about fires starting in the driver's door, thought to be caused by the master power window switch. The initial estimate was that 80,000 Libertys could be roped into a possible recall, but according to a report in the Detroit News the agency examined records for 425,000 Chrysler products that used the same window switch, including the Dodge Nitro and Chrysler Town & Country minivan.
After canvassing 265 warranty claims related to the master switches, NHTSA concluded that the rate of fires compared to the "large population of vehicles" was rather low, and that there was no trend pattern behind the few issues it did find. Perhaps with that, and the closure of the trailer hitch investigation, the Liberty can finally rest in peace.
