Summer Cruiser! 1973 Jeep Commando-w/ Removable Hardtop--beautiful Beast! on 2040-cars
Batesville, Indiana, United States
|
Well after nine years of owning this 1973 Jeep commando it is time for me to part ways with it. It is such a classic and rare car, and has given me so much joy to own it and be able to cruise around the back roads of Indiana as highschooler, college student, and adult. I moved to New York a few years ago and the car has remained at my parents house. I can no longer see keeping it, without being able to drive it around on a weekly basis. I would love to see this limegreen beauty go to a great owner who will take good care of it and enjoy many summers with the top down!
Now, for some specs about the vehicle: It is a 1973 Jeep commando with a V8 304 5L engine. It also has four-wheel-drive. It has a 3-speed manual transmission and is very powerful, but tops out around 45-50 mph in 3rd gear. It's has less than 82,000 miles on it. Last month, I spent $500 to replace all of the electrical wiring and put in a brand new battery. The car is starting, idling and driving great, but could use a new alternator and carburetor (should run you under $500 to replace altogether), as the carburetor is leaking. It has bucket seats in the front and one bench seat in the rear. The hardtop is removable (takes 2-3 people to lift it off) and it instantly becomes a convertible. They made only about 10,000 of these back in '73, so it is a rarity. As far as the cosmetic side of the jeep, I purchased the beautiful, OEM aluminum hubcaps that you see pictured for $250 a few years ago. There are a few tiny bits of rust on the exterior and some more significant rusting on the hinged trunk door, but overall, very little. I repainted the white hard top a few years ago. This car could be a great recreational vehicle to tow a boat, cruise country roads, or use around a farm. It also has tons of potential to be painted and brought back to original cosmetic condition. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE! Please let me know if you have any further questions! Vince |

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Maserati 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.
Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014
Thu, 10 Apr 2014While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
Jeep launches new ad with unreleased Michael Jackson track
Fri, 09 May 2014We'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.
