1967 Jeepster originally manufactored by Kaiser Jeep. Have original service manual and purchase invoice; I am the second owner of this vehicle and have had it since 1985. Very little of this vehicle remains original as I struggled for years trying to acquire OEM parts and quickly modified any that needed repair or replacement. I recommend that this vehicle be parted out or rebuilt as a project Jeep. The OEM 225ci Dauntless Buick V-6,dual-barrel replaced with a Chevy small block 5.7 liter V8 (Advance Auto Part #708340), Edelbrock 2101 Performer Intake Manifold and Edelbrock 1406 600cfm Carburator, mated to a Chevy TH400 autormatic transmission, rebuilt with <1000 miles. Vehicle has a Stainless Steel Exhaust with 2 1/4 Turbo Mufflers. Cooling is provided by a 16" Electric fan and new Jeep radiator (part #1R583). Custom rollbar, rear bumper and stainless steel dash with AutoMeter Street Rod Series guages 3 1/8 Speedometer, 3 1/8 Electronic Tach, 2 1/16 Electric Clock, 2 1/16 Volt Meter, 2 1/16 Oil Pressure and 2 1/16 Fuel Level. Also has a custom aluminum gas tank. Vehicle standing on four 33" 12-50 GoodYear LT Tires (<1000 miles) in excellent condition. Right front fender fits 1955-71 CJ. 2" Body lift, 4X Rancho Softride Nitro Shocks w/boots. New CJ Front Bumper, parking lamps and headlight bezels. Rear bumper is custom with allowance for spare tire. Frame was completely sand blasted, repaired where needed and coated in Coal Tar Epoxy as was the undercarrage. Vehicle has the original soft top collapsable frame (very rare, hard to find). Front axel is upgraded from CJ7 with disc brakes - pretty sure it is a DANA 30, 46-13, 3.54; tag # 5359016. I have many original parts boxed up and will provide to buyer. Couple of additional notes: While restoring body-off frame the rear wheel wells were rewelded which burnt the paint, hence the arched marking over the rear wheels in the pics. Steering box was removed from later model Commando and a brake booster was added from a late model truck. The steering column isn't original - Chevy S-10 I believe, and is squirly! It should be redone - didn't bother me so much when I was younger, there are two universal joints to clear the massive brake booster. Rear and Front Differentials are different ratio, I wasn't able to match during front end upgrade so 4 wheel is currently disabled. The "Red Top" Battery depicted in the picture is not included. Again, I recommend this vehicle be used as part out or as project Jeep for someone who is mechanically inclined. It has a lot of potential which is why I have kept it around for so long. Best of luck and thanks for your interest - Cheers!
