Just finished this beautiful 1972 Commando Bullnose. It took about 2 years to complete. Everything has been replaced or rebuilt. This Jeep is turn key and needs nothing. Only things that don't work are the horn, reverse lights, and no straps for the tailgate. It could use some bumpers too. Looks good without them though.Comes with unrestored white hard top.

Frame: Solid, sanded down and painted with eastwood chassis black

Body: All rust was cut out and new metal welded in. Mostly in lower rocker panel. 

 -Skim Coat of Evercoat's Extreme Rage and alot of block sanding
-3 coats of Marhyde 2K surfacer and more blocking
-3 coats of custom mixed tangerine twist single stage paint
Turned out nice, but I can still see some sanding scratches in the tailgate. Have to look hard though.

Engine: # matching 232. Rebuilt, bored .30 over. All machine work done by Progressive Performance Glen Allen, VA.
-RV cam
-Ported, Polished head
-high volume oil pump
-egr block off
-HEI distributor
-weber 32/36 conversion
-runs excellent. Small lope from cam

Transmission: Factory 3 speed T150
-new flywheel
-new pressure plate
-new throw out bearing
-new pilot bushing
-new clutch
-amsoil severe gear oil
-all new u-joints

Brakes: All new

Master cylinder

Lines

Shoes

Wheel cylinders


All factory gauges work. Also has new fuel tank and sender. Im sure I missed alot of stuff. This is all I can think of now. Let me know if you have any questions.

Update: noticed that two of the tires have a little dry rot on them, so putting on all brand new tires tomorrow. I'll try to post some pics with the new tires when I get them on. Also had a question about the tailgate. It is handmade, heavy duty and works great. The factory tailgate had way too much rust.

Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot boards meet to finalize merger

Tue, Dec 17 2019

MILAN/PARIS — The boards of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot will meet separately on Tuesday to discuss finalizing an initial agreement for a $50 billion merger to create the world's number four carmaker, sources said. A source close to FCA said the two companies could announce the signing of a binding memorandum early on Wednesday, followed by a conference call to explain further details later in the day. The two mid-sized carmakers announced plans six weeks ago for a tie-up to help them deal with big challenges in the industry, including a global demand downturn and the need to develop costly cleaner cars to meet looming anti-pollution rules. Ahead of the meetings, entities representing the Peugeot family, Etablissements Peugeot Freres (EPF) and FFP, unanimously approved a proposed memorandum of understanding for the planned merger, a source familiar with the situation said. FCA and PSA have said they would seek to finalize a deal by year-end to create a group with 8.7 million in annual vehicle sales. That would put it fourth globally behind Volkswagen, Toyota and the Renault-Nissan alliance. PSA's Carlos Tavares will be chief executive and FCA's John Elkann — the scion of Italy's Agnelli family, which controls FCA through their holding company Exor — chairman of the combined company. The group will include the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Peugeot, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, allowing it to serve mass and premium passenger car markets as well as those for trucks and light commercial vehicles.

Next-gen Jeep Wrangler to get 8-speed automatic and 3.0-liter EcoDiesel

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Following up on previous reports, an anonymous source within FCA has confirmed to Autoblog that the next-generation Jeep Wrangler will come to market with both a 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6 and ZF's critically acclaimed eight-speed automatic transmission. While this pairing makes a lot of sense (we'll explain why in a minute), until now, we only had limited reports that either item would arrive in the next-generation Wrangler. This is the first time we've heard that the eight-speed automatic and the diesel would be paired together. That said, we shouldn't be surprised by this news. FCA currently sells the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 with the diesel/eight-speed gearbox combo, making its inclusion in the next-gen Wrangler far from an Apollo 11-caliber feat of engineering. Naturally, we reached out to Jeep for an official comment. Spokesperson Gabrielle Schulte gave us the expected response to this kind of inquiry, telling Autoblog that FCA does not comment on future product. Jeep has flirted with the idea of a diesel Wrangler for some time, with CEO Mike Manley telling Ward's Auto just over two years ago that a Wrangler diesel was "on the radar," although at that time, we weren't certain whether it'd be the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel showing up in the rough-and-tumble off-roader. As for the eight-speed, SEC filings back in November revealed that it'd be coming to the Wrangler in 2018. Our source could not confirm which model year the 8AT/diesel would arrive in.
