RARE *ONE OF A KIND* 1967 JEEPSTER COMMANDO. Built by Kaiser. Dauntless 225 V6 engine and has a 2 barrel carburetor. It makes the Jeepster more drivable than a V-8, and does not overpower the chassis. The vehicle has 30,853 original careful miles on it. Many people feel that the car has the traditional Jeep preferred look. This was only one of 4 or 5 models offered in 1967. This vehicle is thought by many as the transition vehicle between the military Jeep and the modern Jeep wagons of today. Note the 7-slot grille and the round headlights. The vehicle is entered into the November 2011 Hilton Head Island, SC Concours d'Elegance as a survivor or preservation vehicle. The car has been stored in a "climate controlled" warehouse for the past 29 years. Shipping: If your vehicle is near you, just make arrangements with the seller to pick it up.

From 1966 to 1971 the Jeep Commando had a front grille that resembled more like a CJ. In 1972, AMC changed the front of the jeep to look more like a passenger car. Because of the short time of production, the Jeep Commando is a rare, hard to find Jeep. A lot of people say the Jeep Commando looks a lot like the International Scout and the Ford Bronco. In 1966, Jeep, then owned by Kaiser, launched the Jeepster Commando to compete with the Bronco and Land Cruiser. The Jeepster Commando was available only in three models: a convertible, pickup truck, and a wagon (like the Jeepster, this was a really cool looking vehicle in my opinion). The (Kaiser) Jeepster Commando stayed in production until 1969. In 1970 AMC bought Jeep from Kaiser, and then in 1972 AMC shortened the name to just Commando and changed the grill design to look more like that of a Bronco, but it didn't catch on. The Jeep Commando was taken out of production in 1973. It's funny because a lot of jeeps have been brought back to life or are a concept vehicle now. I personally think the new jeep commander was brought back to replace the old commando. Sometimes you just cannot replace what islost. The Jeepster Commando was initially produced by Kaiser Motors in 1966 to run up against with the Toyota Land Cruiser and Ford Bronco. It was manufactured in three different models which included: the pickup truck, convertible, and wagon. The Kaiser line remained in production until around 1969, until American Motors Corporation or (AMC) bought Kaiser out in 1970. From the time that AMC bought the Jeepster line from Kaiser in 1970, the Jeepster Commando steadily grew in popularity everywhere. In 1972, AMC shortened the vehicle's name to simply "Commando" and changed the front end design to be similar with the Ford Bronco. The vehicle line, formerly an AMC best seller, quickly dropped in popularity and was taken out of production sometime in 1973. The Jeepster is an ancestor of the modern Jeep family produced by Daimler Chrysler. There are several Jeepster clubs across the United States.
