Up for sale is a 1971 Jeepster Commando 2-Door Station Wagon. It has good running 225 V6 Buick engine (3.7L) and an Automatic Transmission with only 71,582 original miles! Does NOT burn oil. It has the bucket seats and center console shifter. I recently rebuilt the carburetor, replaced the battery, replaced the distributor (along with points, wires, plugs, condenser, rotor and cap), and replaced the muffler and rear exhaust pipe. This thing now runs pretty well. The Jeep has locking hubs for the front wheels and four-wheel drive. Tires are in good shape. Automatic transmission shifts strong. The AM radio even works!
Last winter I picked up a Half Cab and bulkhead for the Jeepster. The bulkhead is currently installed, making the tops interchangeable! The Half Cab top is pretty rare and is worth close to $800 alone. The Station Wagon top has the sliding side windows and is in good shape (both tops are missing headliners). The Half Cab top gives the flexibility of using the Jeepster as a truck, of sorts, by creating a short bed. I rhino-lined the back area, but the back seat and seatbelts can still be bolted in when needed. Both the front seats and back seat have matching seat covers. The seats are worn but otherwise in relatively good shape. I just covered them so they wouldn't get any worse.
As with any 42-year-old rig, this one is not perfect. It has a very amateur paint job, mostly because the grill, left front fender, and hood were another color when I bought the Jeepster. I believe the fender and hood are from a 1967 Jeepster, so the fenders are not an exact match. The Jeep electrical system is old and temperamental (the dashboard illumination lights recently stopped working, for example). The ignition system has been changed over to a key and push button. There is some rust that will eventually need attention (front floorboards, the bottom of the tailgate and vicinity, one part of the Half Cab top drip rail, top of right front fender). The window and door seals will one day need to replaced, depending on how much you like the sound of rattling when you drive down the road. The rear window seal on the Half Cab has a gap at the bottom of the glass. And, there is that occasional clunk I've been hearing in the front end on sharp right turns. The brakes are good, but a brake booster would also make this a lot easier to stop.
Overall, a very solid classic builder that is driveable now, and gets plenty of thumbs-up. Great for winter and summer. Please email with questions.

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.
FCA cuts powertrain warranties to 60k miles
Fri, May 29 2015FCA US is cutting back the mileage of its powertrain warranty on some 2016 model year vehicles. Rather than the current five years/100,000 miles of coverage, the new amount is five years/60,000 miles for gasoline-fueled models from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram. In March 2015, General Motors made a similar switch to five-years/60,000-miles of coverage for Chevrolet and GMC, and FCA US seems to be citing this as part of the reason for the shift. "Following changes already made by competitors, FCA US is adjusting powertrain warranty coverage for 2016 model year vehicles to be more consistent with industry practices," the automaker said in a portion of its statement. The bumper-to-bumper warranty for these vehicles is unchanged at three years/36,000 miles. According to Automotive News, Fiat's warranty is remaining at four years/50,000 miles. When it changed the mileage limit, GM also halved the number of free service visits for Chevy, GMC, and Buick to two from the previous four. The automaker claimed that the reason for the adjustments to its coverage was that a long warranty was seldom a reason for customers to buy a vehicle.

The basic coverage, also known as "bumper to bumper," remains at 3 years/36,000 miles. # # # News Source: FCA US, Automotive News - sub. req.Image Credit: Mark Ralston / AFP / Getty Images Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Car Buying Maintenance Ownership FCA warranty fca us powertrain
