INFO: The Jeep Commando was first introduced in 1966 as a versatile 4x4 that was equally at home on mountain roads or in town. Nicknamed the “mountain goat”, t gained a strong following & stellar reputation for being able to tackle any driving condition with ease. Its competition included theInternational Scout,ToyotaLand Cruiser, amp;FordBronco. The C104 model was introduced in 1972 with a new conventional full-width grille. It was offered with threeAMCengine options: the 232cuin (3.8L), 58cuin (4.2L)AMC Straight-6,or the 304cuin (5.0L)AMC V8. Production in 1972-73 was limited to 20,223 AMC-spec C104 Jeep Commandos. The Commando model was discontinued in 1974 when the Cherokee was introduced.
HISTORY: Purchased new for $4591 by John Roberts on 17 February 1973 in Bristol Tennessee, e traded-in his 1968 Commando. It spent little time in off-road use, s it was stored at a vacation home for many years to take shopping & touring. Over 21 years it was driven 62,000 miles then sold to three collectors over the next 20 years and driven only 2000 miles more. With 64,053 original miles, riginal interior, amp; original 258 Straight-6 engine, t has been well cared for.
RECENT SERVICE: In December 2014 it the small oil leak was treated to a $500 visit for new seals which solved the oil leak. In August 2014 it was treated to a $4000 visit for a complete inspection & work to make it a reliable driver including all new brakes, rums, hocks, ables, amp; steering work. It starts quickly and idles smoothly, oes through all gears with ease, tops with a firm pedal, nd gets up to 65mph without much effort. Electrical items all work as intended. Spare tire is located behind the rear seat.
ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS: This Jeep comes with the original 1973 dealer invoice & purchase agreement, riginal 1973 owner’s manual, ire jack, nd paperwork throughout its pampered life.
ISSUES: There are small rust spots on the rear gate, nside the rear storage area, nd on the rocker panels. These are fairly typical for Commandos. It’s easy to drive but wanders a bit on the road. While the shop continues to sort out this issue & may fix it, his would be the only mechanical aspect we are less than pleased with. The interior is near perfect in its originality, ith the only blemish being wear on the floor mat near the accelerator pedal.
LOCATION: It’s currently located in Prosper, exas; about 40 miles north of Dallas. If you’d like to make an appointment for an inspection and/or test drive please give me a call at 214 213 1588.
