This 1968 Kaiser Jeep Commando 4WD, 3 speed manual transmission is ripe for restoration.


I bought it about three years ago from a fellow in Oregon with the intentions of restoring it. Didn't happen and I need to move this classic on to a new owner.

Dauntless V6 engine runs solid though I think it may need a new fuel pump.  Doesn't idle well enough to keep her going unless you keep your foot on the gas.

Decent paint job came with it but it was dinged and dented before I got it (see pics).

Some rust on bottom panels but frame seems relatively clear.

After market high back bucket front seats and newly upholstered rear seat.

Comes with a set of essentially new tires.

Mileage is unknown.

Oregon didn't require a title for a vehicle this age so I didn't get one.  Never bothered to try to get it titled in NC.  So the best I can do for you is a Bill of Sale.

$500 deposit w/i 48 hours of auction close, balance in certified funds (bank check) or cash w/i a week of closing.

Shipping on buyer.

As is, where is.

Good luck!!

 A bidder has asked what the reserve price is.  To be fair, I will share that will all bidders instead of just one.  Hopefully that will save time for those not interested at the reserve price and beyond.


Reserve is $1000.


Thanks!

Jeep Renegade sales being held due to powertrain issue [UPDATE]

Wed, May 20 2015

UPDATE: An unnamed FCA US source has clarified to Automotive News that while there is a software issue, it does not concern the transmission. The Jeep Renegade appears to be facing early software problems that are similar to the ones at the introduction of the Cherokee a few years ago. The issue is keeping the brand's latest compact crossover away from dealers until the situation can be resolved. The fault reportedly deals with the software controlling the Renegade's nine-speed automatic transmission. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne briefly talked about what was happening in an interview with Automotive News. "I'm having a very bad engineering day," he said. "It's a combination of attributes of that vehicle that is making my life horrible." The company boss predicted at the longest it could take until mid-June to fix things. Through April, Jeep has sold 5,157 Renegades, including 4,214 of them in that month alone. Autoblog reached out to an FCA US spokesperson to learn more about the software problem, but the company had no comment. Getting the software right to control the nine-speed automatic plagued development of the Cherokee. The issues delayed the model's launch in 2013, and the company was still releasing improvements for some vehicles this year.
