1969 Jeepster Commando Deluxe Model Hardtop. It has the Dauntless (Buick) 225 V-6, TH-400 Automatic Transmission, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Dana 27 Front Differential, Dana 44 Rear Differential, both with 3.73 gears. Originally an Arizona vehicle it was restored in 2006 in Texas, sold in 2008 and trucked to its present Oregon location where it’s been garaged since then and used very little. It was a trophy winner at the 2011 Medford, Oregon Cruise Car Show. Engine: prior to restoration the odometer showed 25,268 miles. Due to the condition of the overall drive train and the overall cleanliness and the amount of factory paint on still on the engine, the restorer believes that the mileage is original. Most of the mileage accumulated when it was being towed by a Winnebago. The following was replaced with the correct stock style parts or rebuilt: One-Wire Delco alternator, repainted valve covers and replaced gaskets, repainted oil pan and replaced gasket, all new hoses and clamps, vatted and repainted radiator, new belts, all brackets repainted, new wiring (all matches factory appearances, but used larger gauge and added fusible link at ignition wire from alternator), firewall refinished, degreased engine, new paper element style air cleaner, rebuilt carburetor (factory Rochester 2G), new battery installed this summer. Due to lack of regular use, it starts a little rough, but once it’s warmed up, it runs well. Suspension and Driveline: During the restoration the frame was blocked and all suspension was removed. The frame was wire brushed and scrubbed and the underbody and frame was then power washed and degreased. Then the frame was painted with POR-15 chassis coat and the underside was coated with 3M undercoating. From there, all the suspension components were disassembled and sandblasted. All leaf springs were re-arched to factory specifications and had one new leaf replaced in the pack to hold the re-arching. All components were painted with POR-15 then re-assembled. Both differentials were disassembled, sandblasted and painted with POR-15. Everything was finished up with new bushings, bolts and seals. Body, Trim and Top: To complete the body finishing, all components were disassembled. The entire interior was removed, front fenders, windshield frame, hood, front splash apron, tailgate and top. There was minimal rust repair since it was an Arizona vehicle. Where there was quarter size rust spots (the rocker panels, left rear fender well and floor), the areas were completely cut out and new metal was welded in. Afterwards, the entire floor and sidewalls were sanded and sprayed with a two part Herculiner bedliner product. All body seams and door jambs were sandblasted. Since the tailgates were notorious for rust on these vehicles, due to poor weather stripping and assembly, the restorer cut the bottom off the tailgate and took a piece of schedule 40 wall by 1/2 ” diameter pipe with two angle broke pieces of sheet metal welded to the top of it. This was slipped over the remaining tailgate assembly and re-welded. You can now sit two people on the tailgate with no sagging or cracking. The best thing about it is that it looks just like it was original. Then it was professionally prepared and sprayed base coat and clear coat Vintage Gold Metallic (Factory 69 Kaiser Jeepster Commando Color). The top was completely sandblasted with repair welds and seams sealed and painted the original white color code. Since this is the Commando Deluxe Model is has chrome side window surrounds and sliding rear windows. All these components were polished. All badges and emblems were polished and the lettering was repainted by hand. All reflectors and lenses were NOS items bought off eBay. Every piece of weather stripping was replaced. The passenger side rear view mirror snapped off its bracket and needs to be reattached or replaced. Interior: The entire tub was coated with Herculiner which was a great base for sealing all the seams along with providing a bit of sound deadening. Since the Deluxe models had loop style carpet, foil backed jute padding was installed throughout the tub. Then black loop carpet was installed that matched the OEM style for 1969. Also, being the Deluxe model, it has restored fiberglass panels that cover the rear sidewalls. The factory center console was restored and re-installed. The dash and sun visors were dyed and re-installed with no cracks or distortion. All gauges were restored and everything down to the rheostat for the dash lights function properly. Some additional fuses and updated wiring was added under the dash to make the electrical system safer. The original AM radio is in the factory location, but an AM/FM CD player is mounted in the glove box. The speakers are in the factory speaker location in the dash so no cutting anywhere took place. New door panels and seat covers were made to replicate the two pattern factory scheme the Deluxe models had. It all looks new. A small clip that is part of the driver side window crank assembly tends to come undone and might need to be replaced. Winning bidder to send $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction close via PayPal.

Completely uncovered 2018 Jeep Wrangler reveals evidence for folding windshield
Tue, Aug 15 2017After months of peering through heavy tarps and vinyl wraps, we finally get our very first look at a 2018 Wrangler without any camouflage at all. The photo comes from a user at JL Wrangler Forums, and it seems to show the truck rolling off the assembly line. Unfortunately, the angle isn't great, but it does give us a look at some of the detail changes to the body compared with the previous one. The most noticeable new detail is the vent that sits in a triangular scallop in the front fender. There's also a tumblehome character line running along the doors. Both of these styling features are consistent with leaked images and fan renderings also published by JL Wrangler Forums. The door handles have also changed, and appear to be more conventional pull-to-open pieces rather than the chunky pushbutton handles on the current Wrangler. It seems like the new Wrangler will still embrace open-air motoring, too. The doors retain exposed hinges that seem to be designed with easy removal in mind. Not only that, but we can see styled rubber pads on the hood. These have been featured on Wranglers all through the years to provide a cushion for when the windshield is folded down. So we would expect the windshield on the new Wrangler to be foldable, too. And, of course, this Wrangler has the traditional fabric folding top. We still expect to see the Wrangler make its official debut at the L.A. auto show, with sales beginning soon after. It will offer gasoline V6 and four-cylinder engines to start, with a diesel version coming later. The Wrangler also will likely gain new features including a hardtop with power sliding panels, and a full-time four-wheel-drive system.

Dodge shows off the electric Charger, and is the Wrangler 392 done? | Autoblog Podcast #815
Fri, Jan 19 2024In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. They kick things off with a roundup of the week's news, and of course the first photos of a pre-production electric Dodge Charger Daytona are the first topic. After that, the pair chat about the possible demise of the Jeep Wrangler 392 via a Final Edition meant for 2025 and ruminate on if they'd be up for buying one of the many Teslas that Hertz is offing from its rental fleet for cheap. Once the news is wrapped, the two move along to what they've been driving, starting with the first drive of the 2024 Acura TLX Type S. Then, they welcome our new Subaru WRX long-term test car and review both the Nissan Altima SL AWD and Nissan Pathfinder Platinum.

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
