The Jeepster Commando, which may not be familiar to many people, was a new off-road model released in 1966 by Kaiser Motors of the United States, and the main competitors at that time were the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Ford Bronco.
At that time, the car had four different models to choose from, including a four-door pickup, a two-door pickup, and a two-door convertible in addition to the standard off-road model.
In 1970, the then American Motors Corporation acquired Kaiser Jeep. After the acquisition of the Jeep brand, the U.S. automotive company made additional investments in the Jeep brand and developed new models, which led to the expansion of the Jeep lineup again.
It didn't take long for the revamped Jeepster Commando to be born, also known as the C101 (101-inch wheelbase), and after a number of optimizations, the new car quickly became popular with consumers.
In 1972, AMC shortened the name of the vehicle to the Commando C104, extended the wheelbase to 104 inches, and changed the design of the front to accommodate 304 cubic inches (5.).0 liters) V8 engine, the new car became one of the best-selling products in AMC history, but soon led to a gradual decline in the popularity of the series, and in 1973 it was announced that it would be discontinued.
Jeepster Commando's slogan used to be, "Outstanding sportiness, exceptional driving pleasure, it can take you anywhere and do anything".
*This 1967 Jeepster Commando is currently located in San Francisco, California, USA.
The car is in very pristine condition overall, and the current *** is $20,000.
The exterior of this Jeepster is very beautiful, with some normal fading of the paint, especially on the hood part. The roof is also in pristine condition, with traces of age.
The interior can be said to be one of the highlights of this car, and the overall state is very primitive like the exterior, because the whole car has not been refurbished and restored, so we can see a lot of baptism from the years from the buttons, door handles, and seats.
Of course, this car is not destined to be the kind of star that only appears at Pebble Beach or classic car shows, it is a means of transportation, even if it is 56 years old, but the owner says that it often accompanies him on long drives.
The car comes with a large number of historical documents, and as we imagined, we can see many routine repairs and maintenance, none of which involve repairs, and the owner said that he did not want to stop when he drove the car.
The car is powered by a V6 engine mated to a Turbo Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission from General Motors.
Unfortunately, this transaction does not involve the engine, and we do not see much information about the engine through the statement and the accompanying documents.
But conventionally, this car should be equipped with a Buick-derived Dauntless 225 cubic inches (37 liters) V6 engine with a maximum power of 160 hp and a peak torque of 318 Nm.
The seller said the jeep was in "normal working order". So for $20,000, would you consider this hardcore dirt bike from 56 years ago?
