1971 Jeep Commando

1971 Jeepster Commando Wagon Classic Vintage 4x4

Asking Price: $22,500
Location: Flagstaff, AZ
Title: Clear
Mileage: 128, 425

Overview

Offered for sale is my 1971 Jeepster Commando Wagon (C-101), a classic and increasingly hard to find vintage Jeep from the last year of the original Kaiser-era Commando production. This is one of ~57,000 units produced. I am the third owner. This Jeepster represents an excellent opportunity to own a true 4x4 classic with timeless styling, a simple drivetrain, and strong collector appeal.  The vehicle has been parked in-doors in Flagstaff, Arizona since 2018.

The truck presents as a driver-quality survivor and runs and drives well. These Jeepster Commandos are gaining recognition among collectors as a rugged alternative to early Broncos and Blazers, with far fewer produced and surviving today.

Exterior

Finished in Baja Yellow
Original steel wagon body with removable hardtop
Body is rust-free, with minor paint chips (see photos for details)
Straight panels with good gaps
Original-style wheels and trim
Glass, lights, and lenses are in good working order
The exterior shows well for its age and turns heads wherever it goes. This is not an over-restored vehicle; it retains the honest character that buyers in this market appreciate.

Interior

Original-style interior in yellow / metal, black / carpet, tan / vinyl
Front bucket seats and rear bench present well
Factory dashboard and gauges (speedometer and gas gauges need repair)
Heater, wipers, and lights function as expected for a vehicle of this era
Interior remains largely stock and unmodified, except for AM/FM/CD stereo
The cabin offers a great blend of vintage Jeep utility and wagon practicality.

Drivetrain & Mechanical

Engine: 225 Dauntless V6
Transmission: Automatic
Transfer Case: 4WD
Power steering: Yes
Brakes: Drum (not power assisted)
The Jeep starts easily, idles smoothly, and drives as it should. It tracks straight, shifts properly, and has been used regularly. Recent service includes:

Transmission & Engine rebuild (04/29/2022)
BF Goodrich AT T/A K02 tires installed (11/11/2022)
suspension system upgraded (11/29/2024)
Oil, lube, filter (June 6, 2025)
Carburetor rebuilt / tune-up (01/01/2026)
This is a vintage Jeep, not a modern SUVit drives like one and should be approached with that expectation.
