For sale is a 1972 Jeepster Commando. I bought this Jeep from the family of deceased man here in town. The man that owned it bought it for the sole purpose of pulling it behind his camper when he went camping. The Commando was only used for vacations, and was parked in a carport the rest of the time. The man lost his health and was unable to go camping any longer. The Commando just sat at that point. The last time it was tagged was 2007. It was just sitting after that. I bought it a few weeks ago, and put a battery in it and it fired right up. The belt that runs the alternator and water pump broke, so I had it replaced. Other than that, this Commando is in the same condition as when I bought it. The Commando has been painted at some point in time, and still looks pretty good. The Commando is all original except the paint. There was also a new exhaust system ran at some point. Other than that, this Commando is ORIGINAL. It has ORIGINAL 55k miles on it. It has a nice set of tires, which seem to be in good shape. The Commando runs nice and quiet and very smooth. I can not believe how great it does run. The seats have some tears, the headliner is sagging, but other than that there's not too much wrong with it. It has a 304 V8 with auto trans, and 4x4. It has the factory A/C that still works. I have been researching these Commandos, and A/C seems to be a rare find. The only reason I bought it was that my wife thought it was "cute". I really would just like to sell it and get it out of the way. I have too many other vehicles in the driveway. If you want to know any more info, or want to see more pics, please feel free to call/text me at 704 813 3787, or email me davisjr01@gmail.com. You really have to see this Jeep in person to appreciate it. I also have the original owner's manual, repair guide, and some paperwork the family gave me for the Jeep.

Jeep Wrangler's shift to aluminum could see production leave Toledo
Mon, 06 Oct 2014The Jeep Wrangler may be a timeless design, but sooner or later, time will run out and Chrysler will have to replace it with a newer model more friendly towards the earth it's designed to traverse. That will, it seems, mean a shift to aluminum construction (whether just for the body or for the entire structure) - but what will that mean for the Wrangler's long-time home of Toledo, OH?
According to the latest pronouncements from Fiat Chrysler chief Sergio Marchionne, the shift to an aluminum Wrangler would likely mean moving production out of Toledo. "If the solution is aluminum," Marchionne told Automotive News, "then I think unfortunately Toledo is the wrong place, the wrong setup to try and build a Wrangler, because it requires a complete reconfiguring of the assets that would be cost-prohibitive."
Marchionne also indicated that, were Wrangler production to move elsewhere, it would find another line to take its place in Ohio. "One of the thing that we are dealing with now is what else we do with Toledo that fulfills our commitment to the city and to Ohio. I don't have a doubt that there will be zero impact on head count and employment levels and anything else." Jeep has built the Wrangler in Toledo since World War II, with the exception of six years starting in 1986 when it was built in Brampton, Ontario. The complex dates back to 1910 and currently produces the Wrangler and Cherokee. Past products have included the Wagoneer and Commanche as well as the Dodge Dakota and Nitro.
YouTube tallies votes for this year's top five Super Bowl spots [w/video]
Tue, 19 Feb 2013When we asked you to tell us which of this year's 16 car-themed Super Bowl commercials you liked best, you chose the Farmer commercial from Chrysler Group, advertising the Ram trucks, over Audi's Prom commercial in second place. Turns out the voters in YouTube's Ad Blitz poll agreed, voting the same commercial to the number one spot from among the field commercials in every category.
From there, however, they went in a totally different direction. Budweiser's The Clydesdales spot came second, Samsung's The Next Big Thing took third. The Jeep Whole Again ad scored fourth in the YouTube poll, fifth in our poll of auto commercials, and the Hyundai Team spot got fifth from the YouTubers, but ninth in our poll.
The voting results don't match up with the viewing numbers, though - while Farmer has more than 13 million views, The Next Big Thing is well beyond 21 million. You can read the press release below and see all five spots, lined up for you, one more time.
