Well after nine years of owning this 1973 Jeep commando it is time for me to part ways with it. It is such a classic and rare car, and has given me so much joy to own it and be able to cruise around the back roads of Indiana as highschooler, college student, and adult. I moved to New York a few years ago and the car has remained at my parents house. I can no longer see keeping it, without being able to drive it around on a weekly basis. I would love to see this limegreen beauty go to a great owner who will take good care of it and enjoy many summers with the top down!

Now, for some specs about the vehicle: It is a 1973 Jeep commando with a V8 304 5L engine. It also has four-wheel-drive. It has a 3-speed manual transmission and is very powerful, but tops out around 45-50 mph in 3rd gear. It's has less than 82,000 miles on it.

Last month, I spent $500 to replace all of the electrical wiring and put in a brand new battery. The car is starting, idling and driving great, but could use a new alternator and carburetor (should run you under $500 to replace altogether), as the carburetor is leaking.

It has bucket seats in the front and one bench seat in the rear. The hardtop is removable (takes 2-3 people to lift it off) and it instantly becomes a convertible. They made only about 10,000 of these back in '73, so it is a rarity.

As far as the cosmetic side of the jeep, I purchased the beautiful, OEM aluminum hubcaps that you see pictured for $250 a few years ago. There are a few tiny bits of rust on the exterior and some more significant rusting on the hinged trunk door, but overall, very little. I repainted the white hard top a few years ago.

This car could be a great recreational vehicle to tow a boat, cruise country roads, or use around a farm. It also has tons of potential to be painted and brought back to original cosmetic condition.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE!

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Stellantis previews 4 electric platforms: Here's how they'll be used

Thu, Jul 8 2021

Stellantis EV Day is hitting hard and fast this morning, with big news coming from Dodge and Ram and Jeep and the rest. But to support those brand transformations, a core initiative within Stellantis will help it become a leader in electrification. To do that, the group is developing platforms and technologies with cross-shared components and systems. This starts with four flexible BEV platforms: STLA Small, STLA Medium, STLA Large and STLA Frame. As for targeted numbers, they’re lofty: By 2024, Stellantis aims for over 500 miles of range, 0-62 mph in 2 seconds and charging 200 miles of range in 10 minutes. The four platforms will offer battery capacities from 37 kWh to more than 200 kWh. More specifically, STLA Small will offer 37-82 kWh and up to 300 miles of range. STLA Medium will have 87-104 kWh and up to 440 miles. STLA Large will provide 101-118 kWh and up to 500 miles of range. The truck-focused STLA Frame will provide 159-200+ kWh and up to 500 miles of range (and will support an electric Ram 1500 pickup). Chrysler EV Front 34 View 8 Photos Stellantis has big plans for the STLA Large platform, and is currently developing eight vehicles for it in the next three to five years. Examples of possible vehicles shown include a midsize Ram truck and a Jeep off-roader that could fight against the likes of the Toyota 4Runner. Stellantis design boss Ralph Gilles could be seen in a presentation looking over a Chrysler electric crossover based on this platform. We also saw a Wagoneer badge teased momentarily. There was a rendered silhouette of a crossover that looked like it could compete with the Ford Mustang Mach-E. Gilles said the platform would allow Stellantis to Â“create a long-range luxury sedan, an all-conquering muscle car, a heart-of-the-market DUV, a heart-of-the-market SUV, a very capable Jeep off-roading white-space opportunity vehicle as well as a new mid-sized truck.Â” See for yourself in this video starting at the 90-minute mark. As for powertrains, Stellantis is developing three electric drive modules with a shared, scalable inverter, and other common components, as well as in-house software to control them. Those drive units will offer from 70 to 330 kW (94-402 horsepower). More specifically, one EDM will provide 70 kW, a second will provide 125-180 kW, while the most potent can produce 150-330 kW.

Polaris Slingshot, Tesla cryptocurrency and an electric Jeep concept | Autoblog Podcast #664

Fri, Feb 12 2021

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. They kick things off by talking about the 2020 Polaris Slingshot, which Jeremy got a chance to sample before the weather turned cold. Then, they pivot to news, starting with the fact that Peugeot's previously rumored return to American is very likely dead, but Stellantis plans to keep FCA's North American brands alive, at least for now. That's followed by Jeep's announcement that it will bring an all-electric model to its annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. They get into the idea of cryptocurrency transactions in car shopping, followed by some grim news at Harley-Davidson, which is attempting a new pivot.Â Autoblog Podcast #664 Get The Podcast iTunes – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes RSS Â– Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 Â– Download the MP3 directly Rundown What we're driving: 2020 Polaris SlingshotÂ Â News Stellantis dealers plead that letting Chrysler die is not an option Jeep will bring an electric Wrangler to Moab this spring Buy a car with bitcoin?
