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!

Chrysler highlights Mopar lineup for SEMA

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

SEMA is all about aftermarket parts, and in Auburn Hills that all comes down to one name: Mopar. After having previewed its lineup for this year's Vegas tuner expo earlier this month, Chrysler has now revealed what may not quite be its full dossier of modified show cars, but a good portion of them.
All told Mopar is preparing 20 vehicles for display at SEMA this year. Among them you'll find the Ram Sun Chaser, a 1500 Quad Cab show truck kitted out in two-tone orange and black paint, a roof rack for surfboards, onboard shower and convertible tailgate. The white Fiat 500L is called the Adventurer and is modified for a more rugged look that could hint at the upcoming crossover version. The Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver upgrades on the Trailhawk package with everything from roof basket to rock rails. To counterbalance the off-roaders, there's also a modified Chrysler 300S with a deep black paint job, special grille, Varvatos-edition wheels and more.
All four concepts details so far have Katzkin interiors as well, and there's also an unspecified Dodge Durango with a storm-trooper look in the gallery above. But for more details on what Mopar has installed on the Ram, 500L, Cherokee and 300, you'll want to delve into the press release below.

Editors' Picks January 2022 | Ford Maverick, Jeep Grand Cherokee and more

Wed, Feb 9 2022

This month, we awarded Editors' Pick awards to a number of totally redesigned, new models. Most notable of the bunch is the 2022 Ford Maverick. Ford took a chance on a new segment, and its execution is as close to perfect as we could hope for. The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a worthy competitor, though, and was also named an Editors' Pick. Also in this list, we have the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's an excellent SUV, and it's only going to get better when the plug-in hybrid 4xe model hits the roads. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in January that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Quick take:Â Jeep's midsize SUV hits it out of the park with the latest generation. We could stand to see some powertrain innovation, but the Grand Cherokee's premium proposition is sound. Score:Â 8.0 What it competes with:Â Honda Passport, Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Edge, Chevrolet Blazer, Nissan Murano Pros:Â Highly capable, luxurious interior, choices aplenty Cons:Â Pricey, fuel economy From the editors Associate Editor, Byron Hurd Â— "Jeep did almost everything right with the redesigned Grand Cherokee. Its powertrain offerings are fairly unremarkable, but the new two-row 4xe will go a long way toward addressing that. It's an otherwise fantastic, modern, luxurious Jeep SUV." In-depth analysis:Â 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee First Drive Review | 1 fewer row, 1 more touchscreen Â 2022 Ford Maverick Quick take:Â The Ford Maverick offers tremendous value, efficiency, incredibly well-thought-out packaging, plenty of storage, a fairly engaging drive and ease of use, all with the utility of a pickup bed. We like the hybrid, but the EcoBoost engine and FX4 package offer more capability. Score:Â 8 What it competes with:Â Hyundai Santa Cruz Pros:Â Very affordable, Hybrid fuel economy, compact size Cons:Â Tight backseat, FWD only Hybrid, no cruise control in base trim From the editors: Green, Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder Â— "The Maverick is simply a dynamite package. It's smart, useful, drivable, efficient, providing affordable utility in the underserved compact pickup segment.
