INFO: The Jeep Commando was first introduced in
1966 as a versatile 4x4 that was equally at home on mountain roads or in town.
Nicknamed the “mountain goat”, it gained a strong following & stellar
reputation for being able to tackle any driving condition with ease. Its competition included the International
Scout, Toyota Land Cruiser, & Ford Bronco. The C104 model was introduced in 1972 with a
new conventional full-width grille. It
was offered with three AMC engine options: the 232 cu in
(3.8L), 258 cu in (4.2L) AMC Straight-6, or the
304 cu in (5.0L) AMC V8.
Production in 1972-73 was limited to 20,223 AMC-spec C104 Jeep Commandos. The Commando model was discontinued in 1974
when the Cherokee was introduced.
HISTORY: Purchased
new for $4591 by John Roberts on 17 February 1973 in Bristol Tennessee, he
traded-in his 1968 Commando. It spent
little time in off-road use, as it was stored at a vacation home for many years
to take shopping & touring. Over 21 years it was driven 62,000 miles then
sold to three collectors over the next 20 years and driven only 3000 miles more. With 65,580 original miles, original paint,
original interior, & original 258 Straight-6 engine, it has been well cared
for.
RECENT SERVICE:
In August 2014 it was treated to a $4000 visit for a complete inspection
& work to make it a reliable driver including all new brakes, drums,
shocks, cables, & steering work. It
starts quickly and idles smoothly, goes through all gears with ease, stops with
a firm pedal, and gets up to 65mph without much effort. Electrical items all work as intended. Spare tire is located behind the rear seat.
ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS:
This Jeep comes with the original 1973 dealer invoice & purchase
agreement, original 1973 owner’s manual, tire jack, and paperwork throughout
its pampered life.
ISSUES:
There is one small rust spot on the rear gate near the Jeep logo and one on the
rocker, which will be a relatively easy fix. It’s easy to drive but
wanders a bit on the road. While the shop continues to sort out this
issue & may fix it, this would be the only mechanical aspect we are less
than pleased with. The interior is near perfect in its originality, with
the only blemish being wear on the floor mat near the accelerator pedal.
LOCATION: It’s
currently located in northern San Diego California USA. If you’d like to make an appointment for an
inspection and/or test drive please give us a call at 760 845 8447.
If you are looking for a super
low-mile, all-original time machine Jeep Commando to drive & enjoy, this is
the one!

Researchers who busted VW cheating say FCA's diesels dirty, too
Tue, Jun 13 2017The Wall Street Journal today reported on an upcoming report from West Virginia University's Center for Alternative Fuels Engines and Emissions, which is the same lab that investigated Volkswagen emissions cheating. The report, which will be released in a matter of weeks, alleges that 2014 and 2015 model year Jeep and Ram vehicles with diesel engines emit excess pollution. But it does not specify whether the company used defeat devices. Since the report discusses Jeep Grand Cherokees, and that engine is also available in the Ram 1500, it's safe to assume that one of the implicated engines is the EcoDiesel V6, a unit actually produced by VM Motori. It's unclear whether the report covers any of the Cummins engines used in heavier-duty Ram pickups. This report comes on the heels of a federal investigation into FCA's diesel vehicles. That investigation focused on the EcoDiesel engine used in 2014-2016 vehicles. The feds were seeking a fine of up to $4.6 billion. The EPA and the State of California also previously accused FCA of using a defeat device on the same vehicles back in January. FCA, for its part, alleges that the WVU study might have been commissioned by people interested in suing the company, and disputes the testing methodology, according to the WSJ. We've reached out to WVU to confirm which engines are implicated in its study and will update this post when we have more to share. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Hank the Autodog takes a ride in the long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee
Wed, May 13 2015Autoblog readers, meet Hank, my 40-pound, six-year-old Shar Pei and Staffordshire Terrier mix, a combination also known as a Pit Bull. Pit Bulls and car enthusiasts have a lot in common. They're a little intimidating to your average man on the street, but at the end of the day all they want to do is feel the breeze in their ears. Dogs who love car rides are the ultimate enthusiasts, and Hank especially is a canine connoisseur of cars. There is nothing Hank likes more than to hop in and go for a ride. With an owner like me, he has developed refined tastes when it comes to cars. As our long-term Jeep Cherokee is about to leave the Autoblog Garage, and since the weather is warming back up, it's the perfect time to give our Autodog one last spin in his favorite Jeep. We wanted to see what a car ride looks like from a dog's perspective. Luckily, we have a cache of GoPros and plenty of cars on hand to give Hank one last chance to go for a window-down ride. After many pets, treats, and drives around town, we put together this video montage of Hank's best day ever.
