1971 Jeepster Commando on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States
This a 1971 Jeep Jeepster Commando currently with 40,234 on the odometer. It has about 1,000 miles on it since paint, engine, and interior were all done. The engine is a Buick 231 Even-Fire V-6. Engine can be setup to run fuel injection. Engine was rebuilt along with the TH400 transmission. On the engine, it has a Rochester 2GC carburetor (Automatic Choke), HEI distributor, Heavy duty polished alternator, High flow water pump, Manual fuel pump, and new spark plugs and wires. Has dual exhausts running to the front of rear tires. Radiator has been re-cored and keeps the engine cool at 180 degrees. I have replaced the old 15 gallon fuel tank with a poly 17 gallon tank with new sending unit and fuel lines. Jeep has a disc conversion on front brakes to increase stopping power. The brakes are powered by a new 70/30 master cylinder and a 10" power brake. Both calipers, discs, pads, and bearings are all new. On the rear brakes, both wheel cylinders and drums are also new. All u-joints have also been replaced on both drive shafts. Suspension is basically stock as far as I know. Previous owner stated that nothing had been done to it. I do believe that it might have a little bit of lift but am not sure. Jeep is sitting on a set of Pro-Comp 1079 rims with bead-lock rings. Rings are showing some age as some chrome plating is coming off. Rings are still available through manufacture. Tires are 35x12.5x17LT Pro-Comp All Terrains. Tires have about 40% to 50% tread still left. The wheels are connected to 4- 2" wheel adapters/spacers. All lenses for lights have been replaced and are in working condition. The Jeep is painted in a very nice "Graphite Greys ." Before it was painted, it was taken down to bare metal to expose any rust. All rust (which was very little) was taken care of. It has two coats of primer, two coats of paint, and 4 coats of clear. Paint is in great condition besides a few minor chips. The inside floor board is coated with truck bed liner and dark grey carpet covering it. Seats were professionally upholstered with a light grey durable tweed fabric. Two front seats are not original but look fantastic in this jeep. Rear seat is original and matches front seats. Jeep has a Sony cd player in dash and 3.5" Kicker two-way speakers in doors. Also has 2- 6"x9" three-way speakers mounted on the side panels behind front seat. Automatic console is original and is covered with the tweed material as well to match front seats. All rubber seals have been replaced except for hard top and front windows. Windows are original and do show signs of age. They do have some scratches and front has a little rock chip. This over 40 years old and was only made for 5 years by the Kaiser Motor Corporation. This was the last production year of the Jeepster Commando. These have become very popular over the years and are getting harder to come by. I have done a lot of the hard work finding parts. In the last two years, parts have been more readily available through Jeepster websites. I have tried to give you the best detailed description I can. I am located in Las Vegas and will be happy to show by appointment only. I can be reached at EricRoseth@gmail.com. This has been my pride and joy for many years and have put around $16k into it which doesn't even include many man hours it has taken. Thanks for looking and reading! Happy bidding!

May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes
Wed, Jun 1 2016The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.

Georgia judge slashes verdict to $40M in Jeep fire case
Wed, Jul 29 2015A judge in Georgia has drastically reduced the damages that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will have to pay to the family of Remington Walden, who a court said died as a result of the unsafe design of one of its vehicles. While the jury originally awarded the family $150 million at FCA's expense, Judge J. Kevin Chason cut that amount to $40 million, the Detroit News reported. The automaker may still appeal the verdict. The case dates to March 2012, when a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which four-year-old Walden was riding was rear-ended by another vehicle. Due to what the jury ruled was an unsafe fuel tank, a fire erupted, and Walden died in the fire. The family's lawyers successfully argued that the automaker knew there was a problem and didn't take sufficient action to address the issue, while FCA countered that its vehicles met the applicable safety standards when they were built. The jury found FCA 99 percent responsible for the fire and Walden's death, reserving the final one percent for the driver who caused the crash. The court awarded the Waldens $150 million in damages to be paid by the automaker: $120 million for wrongful death, and a further $30 million for pain and suffering. FCA, however, argued that the damages were disproportionate to the incident, noting that the $120 million was 11 times higher and the $30 million four times higher than any comparable awards upheld on appeal in the state. Chason agreed and cut the penalties extensively. The Walden family has reportedly accepted the reduced verdict. But according to the News, company spokesman Michael Palese said, "The reduction in the damage awards does not cure the many errors that tainted this verdict and denied FCA US a fair trial. We are considering our legal options." News Source: The Detroit NewsImage Credit: Jeep Government/Legal Recalls Jeep lawsuit court
