If link doesn't work do a search on YouTube for 1968 Jeepster Commando - V6 Dauntless 225hp - FOR SALE!
Video also includes many more detailed pictures to include the undercarriage.
This awesome 68' Commando has the stock 225 HP Dauntless Buick odd fire V6 with a 3 speed (T-86) and
a Dana model 20 transfer case. 4 Wheel
Drive works well in high and low. The
engine runs great and has good oil pressure. Mechanically everything else seems
sound. The title is clean and it is
registered till June of next year. It also has cool California Historic Vehicle
Plates.

Required!)
It has been a fun car to own for the past year, but
unfortunately I’ve had some unexpected family expenses pop up and I’m going to
have to sell. My loss is your gain! I
wanted to strip her down and properly rebuild her for her 50 year anniversary
in 2018. In the meantime, I’ve been
using her as a daily driver around town and for my 5 mile commute to work. This has been a reliable car for me and hasn’t
caused any trouble other than your standard oil drip/leak here and there. As of
me writing this the odometer reads 98, 080. I have no idea if it is accurate or not. She still runs, looks pretty cool, brakes need
some work, but otherwise mechanically sound. The interior is in half way decent shape considering
the age. The driver seat has a few rips and the dash board is cracking here and
there. Other than it having no radio and
one of the two horn buttons don’t seem to work, the rest of the Electrical
system (lights, etc.) is all operational. Though I will say that some of the buttons on
the dash have seen better days. I also don't have a key for the glove box it actually doesn't even have the storage part of it attached behind it. There is
also no top (but I love how it looks without one and I never had any intention of
installing one; maybe a bikini top…), but it does have a roll bar.
It's a stock 68 so the body is not perfect. Somewhere along the way there has been some well-done
rust repair in the floor and bed. I'm sure there is some bondo in rockers as
well but it would cover with some rocker guards to look almost perfect. As long as I’ve owned it she’s spent her
nights in the garage and out of the weather.
The previous owner painted it with a hammer-tone black and
blue paint (which I think looks great and is easy to touch-up if need be). He did some front brake work, put in some new
front brake lines, repaired a fuel line, and installed a new steering
wheel. All I’ve done to it is recently installed
brand new Toyo AT tires and have put less than 100 miles on them. I also put in a
new battery a while back.
I’m including a fantastic and very detailed mechanic
two volume parts catalog, a 500 page service manual (not pictured), and a commemorative book that includes all kinds of
articles, advertisements, and pictures from when the Jeepster Commando was
still in production. All four books are
in like new condition.
I think that this Jeepster is a true classic! I hope that she goes to a good home that will
give her the care she deserves!
Bid starts at $2750. No Reserve!

Thanks!
