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!

Weekly Recap: Matthew McConaughey's star shines brightly for Lincoln
Sat, Jan 3 2015The commercials were a little strange at first, but the ensuing spoofs were hilarious. And all jokes aside, Matthew McConaughey has made a difference for Lincoln. Advertisements starring the Oscar winner launched in September, and the results have been impressive. The number of customers clicking on Lincoln.com to check out the MKC – the crossover McConaughey pitched – has tripled since the ads began airing, a spokesman told Autoblog. They also generated 4.4 million views on YouTube and spawned parodies by Ellen DeGeneres, Conan O'Brien, South Park and Jim Carrey on Saturday Night Live, which racked up another 15 million views. Most importantly, Lincoln's sales have increased 15 percent through November, helped significantly by the strong launch of the MKC. Without the addition of the MKC, Lincoln's sales would have been essentially flat last year. The MKC has received solid reviews from consumers and the press, though it has had several recalls. "The overwhelming response to the MKC campaign sparked truly great awareness for Lincoln," Andrew Frick, Lincoln group marketing manager, said in a statement. Now Lincoln has launched another round of spots, which kicked off New Year's Day during college football bowl games. This time, McConaughey is hawking the MKZ sedan and its hybrid sibling. The spots, called Diner and Balance, use the same artistic formula as the earlier ads, with McConaughey intoning seriously about the cars in dramatic settings. They were shot over two days in Los Angeles and were directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, a Danish filmmaker who directed the 2011 move, Drive. The ads continue Lincoln's multiyear deal with McConaughey, who has said he's been long been interested in the brand. He starred in the 2011 thriller, The Lincoln Lawyer, as a defense attorney who worked out of a Town Car, though that was before his deal with Lincoln. In one of the earlier ads, McConaughey claims: "I've been driving a Lincoln since long before anybody paid me to drive one. I didn't do it to be cool. I didn't to it to make a statement. I just liked it." That sentiment appears to have worked for the MKC's launch, and with this new advertising blitz, Lincoln hopes it carries over to the MKZ.

Jeep marks 75th anniversary in Detroit with special editions
Tue, Jan 12 2016It's been 75 years since the Jeep brand was founded. To celebrate the occasion, the sport-ute manufacturer has rolled out an array of six special editions – one for each model in its lineup. And they've each marked their debut here in Detroit. The 75th Anniversary Editions of the Wrangler, Renegade, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Compass, and Patriot are all decked out in green – though the exact shade differs between models, and they can be ordered in different colors for those who prefer. Either way, the bodywork is offset by bronze trim, mesh fabric interiors, and all the special-edition badges you could ask for. And in true Jeep style, they all offer some degree of open-airedness, even if that just means a sunroof. Of course, bringing back the Wrangler pickup and Grand Wagoneer – both of which are planned for this milestone year – would be agreeable as well, as would a Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee SRT. But for now these special editions strike us as suitable a way as any to celebrate three quarters of a century of rock-crawling. Check 'em out in the gallery above of live images from the floor of the Detroit Auto Show for a closer look before they reach dealers in the first quarter of this year. THE JEEP® BRAND CELEBRATES 75 YEARS OF LEGENDARY HISTORY WITH FULL LINEUP OF NEW SPECIAL-EDITION MODELS - New 75th Anniversary models available across entire Jeep® lineup - Special-edition vehicles feature unique available Jeep Green exterior, Satin Bronze wheels, Bronze and Orange exterior accents, unique interiors, open-air freedom and 75th Anniversary badging - Available in Jeep dealer showrooms first quarter 2016 January 6, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Born in 1941, the Jeep® brand celebrates 75 years of 4x4 leadership, military history, and open-air freedom and adventure in 2016. As a tribute to this diamond anniversary celebration, Jeep is creating distinctive, 75th Anniversary special-edition models of each vehicle in its lineup. "Jeep vehicles have defined the authentic SUV and set the benchmark for off-road capability and freedom since they were first produced in 1941," said Mike Manley, Head of Jeep Brand – FCA Global. "Today, Jeep SUVs continue to deliver 4x4 leadership, as well as fuel efficiency, world-class craftsmanship and premium on-road dynamics.
