Jeep Jeepster Commando Convertible (1967)

Jeep Jeepster Commando Convertible

The Jeepster was revived in 1966 in the form of the Jeepster Commando ("C101"). The F-head Hurricane straight-4 was used (a direct descendant of the original Go Devil engine) and four-wheel drive was finally added. This engine produced 75 hp (55 kW) at 4000 rpm and 114 ft·lbf (154 N·m) at 2000 rpm. The 160 hp (119 kW) Dauntless V6 was optional and preferred with its 235 ft·lbf (318 N·m) of torque. 57,350 Kaiser-spec "C101" Jeepster Commando were sold between 1966 and 1971.

There are several unique body styles of the Jeepster Commando: Station wagon/SUV, Convertible, Pickup, and roadster. One unusual offering was the deluxe station wagon, with sliding rear windows and full interior trim. In rare cases, these models were finished with a two-tone exterior. The Hurst Jeepster - with its custom shifter, exterior graphics, and tachometer on the hood - is possibly the scarcest model of all production Jeeps. The convertible came in three types: Revival Jeepster, Commando convertible, and an open body roadster with no top at all. The Revival Jeepster was the showcase vehicle of the fleet, offering deluxe interior appointments, powered convertible top, and a Continental tire kit. The Commando convertible offered the same body with just the basic finish and equipment.
