This is a 1966 Jeep Commando.  Sort of a rare bird really, I have seen on some sites that there were few of these made.  Not sure what the exact number is. I have heard like 800 or so for that year.  Maybe more or less.  Has the original V6.  Tranny is an SMP420 Chevy, dana 20 T-case, and the axles are 70's model CJ axles.  I didn't do any of this, so I have no idea what the specifics are on those items.  The pictures tell you the story, some rust in the bed, near the tailgate, and near the front quarter panel seams.  Carb needs adjusted a bit, it takes a bit to get it started when cold, but runs well after that.  Runs 60-75 on the highway, and I have used it as a daily driver.  Has a valve cover leak and I have the new seals, but I havent gotten around to putting them on.  This has affected the starter at times, sometimes the starter takes a couple of turns on the key to engage.  Put the seals on the valve covers, this will go away. I also purchased gaskets for the manifolds, has a bit of an exhaust leak.  I also have new shocks for it as well.  I purchased another steering wheel that is original, but haven't put it on.  All the switches work except for the wiper washer. Heater works good, two speeds for the fan, all original.  The gauges all work, and the lights all work on the dash cluster.  Glows a cool green at night with the lights on. Has an aftermarket radio, but I have never used it.  The original bumpers are in the bed of the jeep at this time.  All lights work, signals and brakes.  Brakes work fine as well.  Clutch is good, no problems there.  Has all the original mechanisms for the rear tail gate, clips and everything works.  The spare tire carrier is actually a period correct aftermarket add on.  Also have some better "V6" emblems than what are currently on the jeep.  In fact, I have the rear emblems that go on the tail gate as well.  Frame has some surface rust, but I see no areas of rust through and it appears strait to me.  tagged and titled in Oklahoma. title is clear. Has the original Kaiser Jeep tag on the body on the firewall as well.  One more item I have is the console and shifter that you can use to make this an automatic transmission Commando. Despite its looks, its a solid old rig and could be on the trail today the way it sits.  

 

The Scrambler that you may see in one of the photos is sold, so don't ask lol.

Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020

Mon, Aug 31 2015

We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"

FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand

Thu, May 14 2015

Hopefully, some FCA US factory employees don't have big plans for the usual summer shutdown, because the automaker is keeping several plants running this year. Demand is so high that the company wants to keep models rolling off the assembly lines. Four FCA US assembly plants, all the engine factories, and some locations that build transmissions are staying open throughout the summer, according to the Detroit Free Press. Usually, these sites would see a two-week shutdown for the company to retool and perform repairs. This year, factories are staying open for FCA to support its strong sales. The lines that remaining humming through the summer show an inclination toward the automaker's popular SUV's and crossovers. They include the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango; Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico that constructs the Ram ProMaster; Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio that produces the Cherokee and Wrangler; and Toluca Assembly in Mexico that makes the Dodge Journey and Fiat 500.
