This auction is for a 1971 Kaiser Jeepster Jeep Commando with a Dauntless 225 V6 and Automatic transmission. Between 1997 and 2011 this Jeepster Commando was stored in a temperature controlled garage and used mostly in parades and vintage/antique auto car cruises and shows - up until a 50+ foot cherry tree weighing several thousand pounds fell on the Jeepster Commando. Thus ended the parades and and car cruises for this Jeepster. As a testimony to Kaiser Jeep - this Jeepster Commando still runs and drives - although nothing like it used to. As the photos document the tree fell upon the Jeepster from the passenger side rear quarter panel to the driver side front quarter panel. Amazingly - the driver and passenger side front seats and the rear seat do not have a scratch or blemish on them - which is more than I can say for the body. It seems to run well up to about 25 mph - but needs a new battery at the moment. I had the original Dauntless 225 V6 engine completely rebuilt with new rings. valves. pistons. cylinders. gaskets. etc two months before it was struck by a tree. As of last year - which was the last time I checked - the radio. all of the electronics. lights. etc worked great. Remarkable the weight of three did not damage. bend. crack. weaken or break any part of the frame structure or integrity. It continued to work well mechanically after it was struck by the tree - despite the body looking . well . like it has hit by a tree. The only items that I removed from the Jeepster were a NOS chrome thumb lighter that I paid $ 100 and a set of four NOS mint condition hub caps that I paid $ 250. The hard top is in very good condition - and the soft top could be repaired by your local shoe store for $ 50 and used again - although the hardware for the soft top was crushed and would need to be purchased at a cost of $ 51 from Best Top. My original cost of the Kaiser Jeepster Commando soft top was $ 634. The tires are OK and with the exception of being partially crushed by a cherry tree - everything is in good condition. I have a Salvage Title for this vehicle and understand it can be insured. registered. etc and used on road or off road again. Bid with Confidence - and please bring this war horse back to life. Thank you.

Comments and questions to the seller:

Is this vehicle still available? If so, I am wondering if you would sell the engine - air breather hose and perhaps the seat belts? I would pay well for the hose if it's in good condition. The molder one on the driver side...

Regards,

Brian

So sorry the loss of your wonderful masterpiece.

Ad/listing is - well, goofy. If it's available, I'd sure be interested!
