This auction is for a 1971 Kaiser Jeepster Jeep Commando with a Dauntless 225 V6 and Automatic transmission. Between 1997 and 2011 this Jeepster Commando was stored in a temperature controlled garage and used mostly in parades and vintage/antique auto car cruises and shows - up until a 50+ foot cherry tree weighing several thousand pounds fell on the Jeepster Commando. Thus ended the parades and and car cruises for this Jeepster. As a testimony to Kaiser Jeep - this Jeepster Commando still runs and drives - although nothing like it used to. As the photos document the tree fell upon the Jeepster from the passenger side rear quarter panel to the driver side front quarter panel. Amazingly - the driver and passenger side front seats and the rear seat do not have a scratch or blemish on them - which is more than I can say for the body. It seems to run well up to about 25 mph - but needs a new battery at the moment. I had the original Dauntless 225 V6 engine completely rebuilt with new rings, valves, pistons, cylinders, gaskets, etc two months before it was struck by a tree. As of last year - which was the last time I checked - the radio, all of the electronics, lights, etc worked great. Remarkable the weight of three did not damage, bend, crack, weaken or break any part of the frame structure or integrity. It continued to work well mechanically after it was struck by the tree - despite the body looking .... well ..... like it has hit by a tree. The only items that I removed from the Jeepster were a NOS chrome thumb lighter that I paid $ 100 and a set of four NOS mint condition hub caps that I paid $ 250. The hard top is in very good condition - and the soft top could be repaired by your local shoe store for $ 50 and used again - although the hardware for the soft top was crushed and would need to be purchased at a cost of $ 51 from Best Top. My original cost of the Kaiser Jeepster Commando soft top was $ 634. The tires are OK and with the exception of being partially crushed by a cherry tree - everything is in good condition. I have a Salvage Title for this vehicle and understand it can be insured, registered, etc and used on road or off road again. Bid with Confidence - and please bring this war horse back to life. Thank you.

The cost to have the original Dauntless 225 V6 engine completely professionally rebuilt from top to bottom in April 2011 was $ 2,122.00. The rebuilt engine has approximately 29 miles on it.

Jeep pickup confirmed, will be built in Toledo

Tue, Jan 12 2016

Finally. In 2011 Jeep CEO Mike Manley said, "It is too late in Wrangler's product cycle to add a pickup. The 2015 or 2016 time frame makes more sense," when the next-generation Wrangler is due. A year later, Manley told an Australian outlet that a decision on a Jeep with a bed would come "pretty soon." Now, The Detroit News reports that the decision has been made, and it's a "Yes."A Wrangler-based truck is expected to arrive in 2017, sometime after the launch of the next Wrangler. And it'll be built in Toledo next to its sibling. Those desperate for a carry-all Wrangler have been able to buy Mopar's JK8 conversion kit for the past four years. Frankly, even though the Jeep Gladiator concept (pictured) is now 11 years old and the JT concept is nine years old, we think either one of them could roll off the line in a year and be welcomed with hosannas. This year's New York Auto Show will also be the site of the reveal of the compact SUV that will slot in between the Renegade and the Cherokee, built on the Renegade/Fiat 500X platform and replacing both the Compass and Patriot. Derided by many, in the US the two aging CUVs still sell terrifically well - they both hit records here last year. One of them will live on in name, the new SUV to be called either Compass or Patriot; the former name is bigger in international markets, the latter name gets more recognition here. That show is when we'll also get Fiat Chrysler's updated five-year plan that will take us through the presumed end of CEO Sergio Marchionne's tenure at FCA.

Jeep launches new ad with unreleased Michael Jackson track

Fri, 09 May 2014

We've recently heard much about how Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne plans to pump up the volume on Jeep sales, inaugurating new models and global dealerships. But that's the stuff outlined in five-year plans; right now, advertising and special editions are at the fore, and the late Michael Jackson, too. Jeep has begun airing two commercials to push its Altitude Editions, Call of Summer and Lovers of the Game, that feature the song "Love Never Felt So Good" from Jackson's upcoming album of new music.
A little more star power - and timely, too - comes from Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving. While Call of Summer features a few short shots of the former Rookie of the Year and two-time NBA All-Star, Lovers of the Game is all about his white Wrangler Altitude Edition and wrangling shots. You can watch both spots below, and if you want to hear the rest of the music track before the album hits, you can download it from iTunes.

Excavator in China bashes BMW and Jeep out of the way

Tue, Jun 2 2015

This Chinese construction site apparently has a zero tolerance policy towards obstacles getting in the way of work. When blocked by a Jeep and a BMW, the operator of this excavator pushes the two vehicles out of the way like they're toys. The Bimmer gets the brunt of the abuse, with the sedan getting lodged up against a fence. The exact context of this clip isn't entirely known, but The Mirror in Britain speculates the vehicles are illegally parked. But that doesn't explain why the excavator crashes through a gate later in the video. Also, this doesn't appear to be the case of a rogue operator taking out some frustrations, because a man with a walkie-talkie is leading the way and seemingly directing the destruction. Nonetheless, getting permission to knock these cars around was probably the highlight of this driver's day. News Source: The Mirror, AOL On BMW Jeep Crossover Videos Sedan
