In October of 1969. this vehicle rolled off of the production line in Toledo. Ohio. It did not stay in areas with salted roads. rather going to the west coast. This Jeepster Commando has survived 45 years. much of it spent in the high desert in California and Nevada. As such. there is no rust on the vehicle outside of the small scratches on the paint. It is currently a registered vehicle in the state of California. and is road legal. I do drive this Jeepster regularly. It is an active. running vehicle. In California. it is exempt from emission testing. and costs little to register. This has been a father-son restoration project. but after my dad's fourth spinal reconstruction surgery. he is unable to work on or drive this vehicle. I have taken care of it well. but I lack the money to restore this vehicle alone and try to go to school at the same time. This is a very rare vehicle. and is in great shape. -The brakes were redone in 2014. I have the receipts for all of this. -This vehicle is always stored in an enclosed garage. it does not sit outside while at it's home. -The interior is spotless. and the seats and floor were completely redone in 2011. -The top of the vehicle is completely removable. and is comfortable without it. It is taken off for special occasions regularly. but requires 2 people to lift. -There have been no lift kits ever on this vehicle. -Despite the steering being loose. this does not affect the vehicle's handling at highway speeds. *It comes with a set of emblems for the hood. It also comes with a spare tire carrier which holds 2 Jerry cans. This vehicle is sold as is. No warranty included. It does need some work. but is an easy project. You will need to pick this vehicle up if you purchase it. it based in Barstow. California (100 miles from LA. 140 from Vegas).
