I have for sale my 1969 Jeepster Commando. This is a hard to find vehicle to begin with, and finding one with as little rust as this one and with this much work done to it is nearly impossible. It is at that awkward stage where it is not finished and not a project. You can get in this rig and go wherever you need to go. The engine runs great-no smoke, funny noises, smells, or any other unwanted distractions. It steers great down the road, has lots of power, and is really fun to drive. This jeepster has the Dauntless V-6, T-14 three speed transmission, Dana 20 transfer case, A Dana 44 rear and a swapped in 1979 Dana 30 front with disc brakes. The dash is uncut and it retains all of the original switches and gauges. It appears to have been painted once the same color as original, but no body work has been done while I have owned it. There is minor rust in the rear tailgate, but it is better than 90% of them I have seen. There is rust in the drivers side rocker, but the passenger side rocker is incredibly solid. There is minor rust in the windshield frame, and I have located a few of them in the $200 range but have not purchased one yet. All of the glass is good and appears to be original. The rear hatch opens as intended and stays up. I have keys for all of the locks. I have a variety of small parts to go with the Commando. All exterior lights work as intended. Wipers work on both speeds. Heater blower works on both speeds. The dash lights and fuel gauge are not currently working. No horn-its there but not hooked up. Rear axle has a locker or posi unit in it. I don't mean to over do the list, but here is what has been done so far.

Saginaw power steering conversion-this was not an option until 71 on these vehicles, and it eliminates the undesirable Ross steering. Carburetor has been rebuilt-still needs fine tuning as it has a small dead spot when you goose it at hiway speeds. New fuel pump. New drag link and tie rod ends, with drag link set up as high steer. New rear frame and shackle bushings and new rear boomerang shackles. New exhaust with a quiet turbo muffler. New Alternator. New battery and battery cables. New clutch cable. New wheels with fair 31" BFG all terrain tires. New brake pads, shoes, hoses, lines, and wheel cylinders. New u-joints. New 4" Hell Creek springs, shocks, and u-bolts. New custom built tube front and rear bumpers. Frame was sanded and cleaned and coated with POR15 to prevent rust. Duraback bedliner material was installed on the interior floor. There is no rust through in the floorboards as evident by a creeper inspection underneath. New Grant steering wheel. Front seats have been recovered in blue velour. Aftermarket roll bar installed. New seat belts throughout-4 total. New fuel tank, fuel tank hangers and fuel gauge sending unit-has not been hooked up. New H-4 headlights. Roof rack installed on top.  Lockout hubs installed.  New dimmer switch.  Cigarrette lighter plug installed under dash for gps or cell phone charging.  Oil changed about 200 miles ago.  New fuel filter.  I'm sure I'm forgetting some small stuff, but you get the picture.  I'm no body man, and bodywork and paint is all it is lacking.

We drive this Jeep wherever we want to go. I have a clear Missouri title in my name. Jeepster will be sold as-is where-is with no warranty expressed or implied as to suitability for any particular purpose. Having said that, you will look far and wide to find a better one. There is NOTHING better than a Jeepster with the top off for summer driving. Payment terms are simple. Cash is always good, checks are OK as long as you understand they must clear before the vehicle leaves my possession. We drove it over 100 miles this past Sunday, and I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere.  The speedo is off about 10 mph due to the larger tires, s0 45 is about 55 mph.  65 or 70 is no issue.  No trades will be discussed whatsoever.  Please do not waste my time or yours.

Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020

Mon, Aug 31 2015

We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"

Jeep does Renegade Chinese-style with Zi You Xia design concept

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

As we mentioned, Jeep is bringing a quartet of concepts to the Beijing Motor Show this year. Its largest model, the Grand Cherokee, is nowhere to be found, but its smallest is. That, of course, would be the new Renegade, which has been done up as the Zi You Xia design concept.
Taking its name from the Mandarin word (or words) for "rebel," the Zi You Xia takes its inspiration from the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, with a Warm Chocolate Gray paintjob with contrasting dark bronze trim. The roof, grille and mirror caps are color-keyed to match the rest of the exterior, riding on 20-inch alloys in the same dark bronze finish.
Inside it's all Piano Black, Anodized Copper and brown leather with plaid fabric inserts. Scope it out in the high-res image gallery above and the press release below.

Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March

Thu, 17 Jul 2014



You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.
