I have for sale my 1969 Jeepster Commando. This is a hard to find vehicle to begin with, and finding one with as little rust as this one and with this much work done to it is nearly impossible. It is at that awkward stage where it is not finished and not a project. You can get in this rig and go wherever you need to go. The engine runs great-no smoke, funny noises, smells, or any other unwanted distractions. It steers great down the road, has lots of power, and is really fun to drive. This jeepster has the Dauntless V-6, T-14 three speed transmission, Dana 20 transfer case, A Dana 44 rear and a swapped in 1979 Dana 30 front with disc brakes. The dash is uncut and it retains all of the original switches and gauges. It appears to have been painted once the same color as original, but no body work has been done while I have owned it. There is minor rust in the rear tailgate, but it is better than 90% of them I have seen. There is rust in the drivers side rocker, but the passenger side rocker is incredibly solid. There is minor rust in the windshield frame, and I have located a few of them in the $200 range but have not purchased one yet. All of the glass is good and appears to be original. The rear hatch opens as intended and stays up. I have keys for all of the locks. I have a variety of small parts to go with the Commando. All exterior lights work as intended. Wipers work on both speeds. Heater blower works on both speeds. The dash lights and fuel gauge are not currently working. No horn-its there but not hooked up. Rear axle has a locker or posi unit in it. I don't mean to over do the list, but here is what has been done so far.

Saginaw power steering conversion-this was not an option until 71 on these vehicles, and it eliminates the undesirable Ross steering. Carburetor has been rebuilt-still needs fine tuning as it has a small dead spot when you goose it at hiway speeds. New fuel pump. New drag link and tie rod ends, with drag link set up as high steer. New rear frame and shackle bushings and new rear boomerang shackles. New exhaust with a quiet turbo muffler. New Alternator. New battery and battery cables. New clutch cable. New wheels with fair 31" BFG all terrain tires. New brake pads, shoes, hoses, lines, and wheel cylinders. New u-joints. New 4" Hell Creek springs, shocks, and u-bolts. New custom built tube front and rear bumpers. Frame was sanded and cleaned and coated with POR15 to prevent rust. Duraback bedliner material was installed on the interior floor. There is no rust through in the floorboards as evident by a creeper inspection underneath. New Grant steering wheel. Front seats have been recovered in blue velour. Aftermarket roll bar installed. New seat belts throughout-4 total. New fuel tank, fuel tank hangers and fuel gauge sending unit-has not been hooked up. New H-4 headlights. Roof rack installed on top.  Lockout hubs installed.  New dimmer switch.  Cigarrette lighter plug installed under dash for gps or cell phone charging.  Oil changed about 200 miles ago.  New fuel filter.  I'm sure I'm forgetting some small stuff, but you get the picture.  I'm no body man, and bodywork and paint is all it is lacking.

We drive this Jeep wherever we want to go. I have a clear Missouri title in my name. Jeepster will be sold as-is where-is with no warranty expressed or implied as to suitability for any particular purpose. Having said that, you will look far and wide to find a better one. There is NOTHING better than a Jeepster with the top off for summer driving. Payment terms are simple. Cash is always good, checks are OK as long as you understand they must clear before the vehicle leaves my possession. We drove it over 100 miles this past Sunday, and I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere.  The speedo is off about 10 mph due to the larger tires, s0 45 is about 55 mph.  65 or 70 is no issue.  No trades will be discussed whatsoever.  Please do not waste my time or yours.

Stellantis is open to putting a gas engine in its EVs to meet demand

Thu, May 2 2024

With the EV segment caught in a tug-of-war between market demand and government regulations, carmakers are having to adapt to avoid losing both money and sales. Stellantis is keeping every option on the table, including putting a gasoline engine in its electric models. Natalie Knight, the chief financial officer for Stellantis, made the announcement while presenting the carmaker's first-quarter shipment and revenues results. She cited the Jeep Wagoneer S as an example: Unveiled in January 2024, it will go on sale with an electric powertrain, but the brand hasn't ruled out expanding the lineup with a gasoline-powered model later on, according to Wards Auto. It could be a hybrid, or it might not get any type of electrification. The call will depend on whether there is "a clear demand for that in the market," the executive said. Compare that with comments from new Jeep CEO Antonio Filosa, who has said hybridizing the Wagoneer S isn't in the cards — but making a PHEV version of the all-electric upcoming Recon, however, might be. "I don't want to ignore the fact that we want to stay close to the consumer, and if we see there's an opportunity with those models that we introduced as BEVs first, we'll look into that," Knight said. Stellantis plans to launch 25 new models globally in 2024, and 18 of those will go on sale with electric power. However, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll remain electric-only throughout their production run. The brands that live under the Stellantis umbrella can build a gasoline-powered version of an EV with relative ease because many of the cars in the group's portfolio ride on a multi-energy platform. For example, the new Dodge Charger (pictured) will go on sale with an electric drivetrain later in 2024, but the range will grow with the addition of a 3.0-liter straight-six in 2025. Across the pond, the Jeep Avenger (a small, hatchback-like crossover not designed with our market in mind) was hyped as an all-electric model when it made its debut in 2023, but it quietly gained a gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain in early 2024. The city-friendly Peugeot 208 is offered with piston or battery power, too. One of the next electric recipients of a gasoline engine might be the new-to-us Fiat 500e. The retro-styled hatchback has exclusively been available as an EV since it went on sale in Europe in 2020, but executives are reportedly looking at turning it into a hybrid due to slow sales.

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.
