Vehicle Detail
1969 Kaiser Jeepster Commando Pick up Heres your chance to own a pretty rare model Jeepster Commando Truck (or half cab) with the spare tire continental kit on it (haha) As most people know, usually all you see are these in there Wagon form, but this pick up truck version is way more rare. this Jeepsters has been a farm truck of sorts here in the Az desert most of its life. Other then a little rust along the rockers its a very rust free Jeep. Also being a ranch truck, it wasnt used a whole lot and mostly just for stuff around the ranch and short trips into town. In the last 10 yrs its barely been used at all. It does run and drive , its not fast but has lots of torque. Motor doesnt smoke or make any weird noises, but it does sound like it could a good tune up and maybe a carb rebuild from sitting. Gas in the tank is all new and good. Trans and brakes feel great. 2 pretty cool options this truck has is PS and PB and both work great. Shows 95k aprox on the odometer, prob original DRIVETRAIN: pretty much all original under the hood, 225 V6 factory diffs and trans, which all seem to work great for their age. But these things where built to last and this one has stood the test of time for being a work horse on a ranch. Tires are too bad either. To start the car someone installed a push button switch on the dash. So you use that and the key to start the car. Sometimes it wont crank, so Im guessing maybe one of the switches is getting worn out from age. That or maybe it may need some new battery cables. We did install a new starter solenoid last week. Choke works and I suggest using it when its cold. It runs a little rough at idle. When you are on the gas, it runs much better. Front hubs are unlocking / locking aka Part time, rear is locking Im sure. INTERIOR: mostly all original and showing its age from the az heat and sun too. Indoor carpet and seat covers didnt help much. But if you recovered the seats and sunvisors it would help alot. It also needs a good cleaning. Floors have some surface rust but not soft. Its not pretty, but seems to functional and intact and mostly original too. EXTERIOR: the original color was 419 Prairie Gold and for some reason the wheelwells are Red. Not sure if thats stock or not but looks original. The silver paint on there now looks like it was done in someones driveway. The body for the most part looks very straight, but the cab did get some dents in it. The metal on this is so thick, that I think any damaged pcs would be fixable. There was some mild rust on the rockers that will need patching if you want to take it that far. Headlights work, but didnt see the taillights working. Should be pretty simple, not much to the wiring on this thing. The homemade bumpers would knock down a small building (haha) they are stout, but not original of course. It does have a tow hitch in the back AND comes with a nice front tow bar too. No pitting on what little chrome is on the truck. Doors all lock like they should and all the glass looks ok and windows work. Obviously some things have been added to the body but its all reverse-able too if you want to put it back to stock. SUSPENSION: looks to be all stock and original , solid and almost bullet proof the way it came from the factory. Shocks looks to be aftermarket and decent too. And it doesnt ride all that bad either for as stout as it is. Not sure what more I can say, but please check out ALL the pics below. Check out ALL the pics below -----> it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics. Hope you like the detailed pics The interior floors are in nice shape as in much of the body Im sure there is some old repairs done over the years but it is a Project truck if you want to restore it, if you want It just to go on trails and wheeling, it needs very little. There you have it, probably The BEST represented JEEPS on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days speaks volumes. Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .

Email us with ANY questions before you bid please If you treat yourself to buying one of our vehicles youll never buy a total rust bucket again from anyone !! Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor intensive which means overall cost is less too ! With less horrid surprises later on. Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you. With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER with great pics to help making your decision easier. Along with ANY other questions you may have. Email me for a quote for shipping.

On May-28-14 at 11:45:45 PDT, seller added the following information: The ignition or starter part is still giving me issues and works when it feels like it, BUT the funny thing is if I put a batter box or chargeron the battery, it will start EVERTIME when I do that. So not sure if its still a cable, connection or old switch. Just want to put that out there beforethe auction ends.
