1971 Jeepster Commando on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States
|
This a 1971 Jeep Jeepster Commando currently with 40,234 on the odometer. It has about 1,000 miles on it since paint, engine, and interior were all done. The engine is a Buick 231 Even-Fire V-6. Engine can be setup to run fuel injection. Engine was rebuilt along with the TH400 transmission. On the engine, it has a Rochester 2GC carburetor (Automatic Choke), HEI distributor, Heavy duty polished alternator, High flow water pump, Manual fuel pump, and new spark plugs and wires. Has dual exhausts running to the front of rear tires. Radiator has been re-cored and keeps the engine cool at 180 degrees. I have replaced the old 15 gallon fuel tank with a poly 17 gallon tank with new sending unit and fuel lines. Jeep has a disc conversion on front brakes to increase stopping power. The brakes are powered by a new 70/30 master cylinder and a 10" power brake. Both calipers, discs, pads, and bearings are all new. On the rear brakes, both wheel cylinders and drums are also new. All u-joints have also been replaced on both drive shafts. Suspension is basically stock as far as I know. Previous owner stated that nothing had been done to it. I do believe that it might have a little bit of lift but am not sure. Jeep is sitting on a set of Pro-Comp 1079 rims with bead-lock rings. Rings are showing some age as some chrome plating is coming off. Rings are still available through manufacture. Tires are 35x12.5x17LT Pro-Comp All Terrains. Tires have about 40% to 50% tread still left. The wheels are connected to 4- 2" wheel adapters/spacers. All lenses for lights have been replaced and are in working condition. The Jeep is painted in a very nice "Graphite Greys ." Before it was painted, it was taken down to bare metal to expose any rust. All rust (which was very little) was taken care of. It has two coats of primer, two coats of paint, and 4 coats of clear. Paint is in great condition besides a few minor chips. The inside floor board is coated with truck bed liner and dark grey carpet covering it. Seats were professionally upholstered with a light grey durable tweed fabric. Two front seats are not original but look fantastic in this jeep. Rear seat is original and matches front seats. Jeep has a Sony cd player in dash and 3.5" Kicker two-way speakers in doors. Also has 2- 6"x9" three-way speakers mounted on the side panels behind front seat. Automatic console is original and is covered with the tweed material as well to match front seats. All rubber seals have been replaced except for hard top and front windows. Windows are original and do show signs of age. They do have some scratches and front has a little rock chip. This over 40 years old and was only made for 5 years by the Kaiser Motor Corporation. This was the last production year of the Jeepster Commando. These have become very popular over the years and are getting harder to come by. I have done a lot of the hard work finding parts. In the last two years, parts have been more readily available through Jeepster websites. I have tried to give you the best detailed description I can. I am located in Las Vegas and will be happy to show by appointment only. I can be reached at EricRoseth@gmail.com. This has been my pride and joy for many years and have put around $16k into it which doesn't even include many man hours it has taken. Thanks for looking and reading! Happy bidding!

eBay Find of the Day: 1977 Jeep J20 time capsule
Tue, 08 Jan 2013Is it just us or has eBay really become, of late, a surprising time capsule of older, barely used automobiles? We've had the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT with 83 miles, the 2004 Ferrari Enzo with 175 miles, the 1987 Shelby Lancer with 22 miles, the 1989 Shelby Dakota with 23 miles - none of those four cars ever even registered - and the 1975 Cosworth Vega with 191 miles. You can add to that list a 1977 Jeep J20 - the kind of Jeep that enthusiasts point to when they beg the brand to make another pickup truck.
Listed on eBay by Masterpiece Classic Cars in Whiteland, Indiana, the Brandywine and Alpine White truck has used its 360-cubic-inch V8 paired with a three-speed automatic to go just 3,940 documented miles. Not surprisingly, it's listed in excellent condition and the images appear to bear that out. The three-quarter-ton pickup comes with its original manual and pamphlets, the Quadra-Track four-wheel drive probably just as ready to tackle the terrain as it was 36 years ago. If only it came with some John Denver to play in that AM/FM/8-Track stereo...
At the time of writing it hasn't garnered a single offer or bid, probably due to the above-top-dollar Buy It Now price of $34,900. Still, since this is likely the closest you'll get to a Jeep pickup for some time, we'd recommend admiring it in the gallery of photos above.
7 months later, Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall still stalled
Tue, 14 Jan 2014For the past few years, Chrysler and its CEO, Sergio Marchionne, have gone head-to-head with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its boss, David Strickland, over the government safety agency's request for Chrysler to recall almost three-million Jeep vehicles due to what NHTSA says is a safety issue that has caused at least 51 deaths. After a three-year investigation and Chrysler's initial refusal to issue a recall because it deemed the vehicles safe and built to the day's federal requirements, last summer, the two parties compromised on a "voluntary campaign" to inspect 1.56 million vehicles, those being the 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokee and 2002 to 2007 Liberty.
Those vehicles were designed with their gas tanks between the rear axle and the bumper, and NHTSA says that in rear-end collisions, damage to the fuel tank has caused fires responsible for those 51 deaths. The compromise reached last summer was that Chrysler would inspect 1.56 million vehicles and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." Practically speaking, that meant Chrysler would replace aftermarket trailer hitches, but would take no action if a vehicle had a factory-installed hitch or an aftermarket hitch from Mopar.
A report in The Detroit News says the "voluntary campaign" is just now getting under way, with Chrysler saying last week that the design of the replacement part had been finalized and it was tooling up "to deliver the required volume." Seven months later, still in question is whether NHTSA will crash-test the fix engineered by Chrysler, noteworthy because not only did the vehicles in question pass every safety standard necessary to be cleared for sale at the time, there are still questions (to those of us on the outside) as to how the Jeeps at issue fare among their peers in such incidents. Either way, Chrysler and NHTSA apparently still disagree on the efficacy of the remedy itself: the carmaker says it might help in low-speed crashes but not high-speed collisions, a position the NHTSA is at odds with. All of this means the campaign doesn't yet have an end in sight.
Toledo gets proactive in fight to keep Jeep Wrangler
Wed, 08 Oct 2014Let's make this very plain - the city of Toledo, OH loves its Jeeps. It loves them so fervently that the very rumor of the Jeep Wrangler moving out of its traditional home prompted the city's mayor, D. Michael Collins, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to hold a weekend conference call with Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"The purpose of this call was for the mayor and governor to gain clarity on Mr. Marchionne's comments last week regarding the possibility of the next generation of Jeep Wrangler being built at a location other than the Toledo North Assembly Plant," a spokesman for the mayor's office told The Toledo Blade.
While no further commitments were made by any party, Collins and Kasich's statement was quite unequivocal about keeping Toledo's unwillingness to let the Wrangler go, saying "the city and its partners will again rise to the occasion to ensure that the new Wrangler is made in Toledo." According to the newspaper, the next step is for face-to-face meetings between officials from Ohio and FCA.
