1973 Jeep Commando on 2040-cars

Year:1973 Mileage:60522
Location:

Johnson City, Tennessee, United States

Johnson City, Tennessee, United States

 This is a really nice jeep.  I got it from a friend in Georgia who had it siting in a barn.  I went through it mechanically and shot it flat black to prevent rust.  I did not fix any of the little dents or dings but I did replace some metal in the floors and replaced the tailgate because of rust.  There is still a little rust in the bottom of the rocker panels (see pictures), beyond that it is rust free.  I built it to goof off in and have very much enjoyed it over the past few years but now it spends most of it's time in my barn only getting driven 3 or 4 times a year so I have decided to sell it, clearing some space in the barn and letting someone else enjoy the Jeep.

I have replaced all the brakes including hard lines and master cylinder, new tires, radiator, water pump, gas tank, carburetor, HEI distributor, front seats, custom made bumpers, new tailgate and roll bar with new three point seat belts.  It has 2" lift springs from Hell Creek along with new shocks and stainless steel brake lines.

When driven regularly, the jeep starts easily and runs very well.  At temperature (after being driven for a while) the engine temperature is at a constant 180 degrees and the oil pressure is at 20 lbs at idle and 55 lbs when driving.  The transmission is the TH400 automatic and it shifts smooth and works as it should.  The transfer case is the old gear driven type, Dana 20 I think, and the 4wd works as it should.  The jeep has power steering (the steering unit leaks a little) and power brakes.  The odometer reads 60,522.  I have no way of knowing if it is actual or not.

What the jeep does not have is a hard top.  I have the back hatch to the hard top but no hard top, only a bikini top.

Terms for this auction: The buyer is responsible for shipping, I will be as helpful as I can in working with your shipper but arranging and paying for shipping is the buyer's responsibility.  Please do not bid if you do not have the money in hand to buy.  I will not go back and forth with someone's back to help with financing.  A $500 deposit via pay pal will be due within 24 hours of the auction's close.  The remaining balance will be due in CASH within two weeks of the auction's close and the jeep will need to be picked up within that time as well.  Any other arrangements or types of payment will have to be worked out before you bid.  Any type of bank check would have to clear my bank before the jeep is released to your shipper.  If when you come to get the Jeep you believe I have misrepresented something I will refund $400 of your deposit via pay pal.  I reserve the option to cancel bids from folks with negative or zero feedback.

2014 Jeep Cherokee gets official in a hurry

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Automakers work very, very hard to keep their new vehicles under wraps until they can present them in exactly the way they want it - typically choreographed under the bright lights of an auto show, or perhaps with photos or video in an idyllic location. Spy shooters and leaks, in other words, keep executives and public-relations types up at night.
This is likely to be one of the most polarizing designs to come out in 2014.
Take today, for instance, when the team over at Jalopnik got a big scoop - the first undisguised shots of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, a model whose name wasn't even officially confirmed yet. The clandestine images taken inside of a factory were blurry and didn't exactly show off the crossover's radical new contours in the same sort of flattering light that Jeep probably would've wished for its product reveal. So the Auburn Hills automaker has wisely reacted by spilling at least some of the beans on the new model, giving us these four photos and confirming the Liberty replacement's name, Cherokee.

Auto Mergers and Acquisitions: Suicide or salvation?

Tue, Sep 8 2015

We love the Moses figure. A savior riding in from stage right with the ideas, the smarts, and the scrappiness to put things right. Alan Mullaly. Carroll Shelby. Lee Iacocca. Andrew Carnegie. Steve Jobs. Elon Musk. Bart Simpson. Sergio Marchionne does not likely view himself with Moses-like optics, but the CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently gave a remarkable, perhaps prophetic interview with Automotive News about his interest and the inevitability of merging with a potential automotive partner like General Motors. Marchionne has been overtly public about his notion that GM must merge with FCA. For a bit of context, GM sold 9.9 million vehicles in 2014, posting $2.8 billion in net income, while FCA sold 4.75 million units and earned $2.4 billion in net income, painting a very rosy FCA earnings-to-sales picture. But that's not the entire picture. Most people in the auto industry still remember the trainwreck that was the DaimlerChrysler "merger" written in what turned out to be sand in 1998. It proved to be a master class in how not to fuse two companies, two cultures, two continents, and two management teams. Oh, it worked for the two individuals at both helms pre-merger. They got silly rich. And the industry itself was in a misty romance at the time with mergers and acquisitions. BMW bought Rolls-Royce. Volkswagen Group bought Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini, putting all three brands into their rightful place in both products and positioning. No marriages there, so no false pretense. Finally, Nissan and Renault got married in 1999. A successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust. But a successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust, the principle part being honesty. Daimler and Chrysler lied to each other. The heads of each unit, the product planners, and finance all presented their then-current and long-range forecasts to each other with less-than-forthright accuracy. Daimler was the far greater equal and no one from the Chrysler side enjoyed that. The cultures were entirely different, too, and little was done to bridge that gap. Which brings me back to the present overtures by Marchionne to GM. "There are varying degrees of hugs," Marchionne stated in the Automotive News piece. "I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you." Seriously?

Jeep Renegade's development a template for new Fiat Chrysler Auto

"We figured we'd take the best of both worlds." - Ralph Gilles.
The international makeup of the 2015 Jeep Renegade will serve as a template for cooperation within the newly formed Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Senior Vice President of Product Design Ralph Gilles said.
