This is a 71 Jeepster Commando. It is built like an old school gasser. Lets start with the new, rebuilt 327 Chevy small block bored 30 over, Edelbrock E210 heads, Voodoo cam, roller rockers, Weiand tunnel ram, twin holley 450s with 50cc pumps and 42cc squirters, flamethrower billet distrubiter and coil, ARP head and intake bolts, edelbrock push rods, chrome wheels and Coker tires, 94 Jeep cherokee 2wd front axle (not new) with new rotors and pads, new brake lines, master cylinder, wilwood residual pressure valve and splitter, auto gauge tach, velocity stacks, novac fender wheel headers, B&M hammer shifter, rebuilt turbo 350 trans with shift kit and 3500 stall converter, holley fuel pump, polly motor and trans mounts, and much more. The body work and paint was done before I got the car, its ok but not perfect (this is not a total restoration car just a fun hot rod so don't expect it to be like brand new). This car draws a lot of attention every where I take so if you don't like that kind of thing don't bid. It is a blast to drive, will get lots of rubber and is pretty fast. Dont know how much it weighs but it isn't much so it picks up speed really quickly no matter how hast you are going. Drives strait and the brakes work good, manual steering and brakes, the steering is pretty light due to the large steering wheel, brakes are a little stiff due to being manual but work good, with the power I wanted to make sure they were good so I changed the front from drum to disk. There is no top or tail gate and needs carpet and the seats redone. It has Corsa mufflers and they are very loud and the cam is pretty big so when you pull into that parking lot or car show you will get some respect. So if you want a car that is a blast to drive and draws lots of attention (and will scare the shit out of your wife) than this is the car for you.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
Happy 50th birthday, Jeep Wagoneer
Thu, 02 May 2013
The Wagoneer got the SUV on the radar of buyers looking for something capable, comfortable and rugged.
The Jeep Wagoneer was introduced 50 years ago, and it's that vehicle we have to thank for the herds of excellent crossovers and SUVs that make up our current automotive landscape. On a personal level, I have always loved the full-size Jeeps and their crisp Brooks Stevens styling, which aged well over their long tenure on the market. The SJs, as they're known among enthusiasts, were the Wagoneer and its two-door counterpart, the original Cherokee. The Wagoneers had become true luxury vehicles by the end of their run, which stretched form late 1962 as a '63 model all the way to 1991, when they were offered exclusively under the Grand Wagoneer nameplate.
