The Commando “Farm Hand” jeep?

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Barry shared this June 1971 Ad from “The Progressive Farmer”. It touts the Jeepster Commando as a “Farm Hand” jeep, a term used as far back as the February 03, 1945, Willys-Overland Ad (at bottom). While off-road capable, I never pictured this model being used regularly as a Farm Jeep (maybe it was?).

This seller has a Jeepster Convertible ($3900 … and looks pretty solid) and a Jeepster Comando ($3000), both projects, that he’ll sell for $6000 combined.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/630553621215872/

“Yellow jeepster commander did run and drive solid frame and floors needs restoration mostly body work and cosmetics $3000 . The second Jeep is a 1965 jeepster alot more rare does not run but come with an extra motor and for the most part besides needing a top and body work is pretty solid as well. I would 3900.00 for that one. These are an older version of a Jeep cj or Jeep Wrangler unlimited. Really cool and worth big money once they are restored. I will sell the pair for 6000.00 cash no less just make them go away. Please no low ball offers”

Dean Martin and a Jeepster Commando

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Mike shared this photo that was drifting around Facebook. It’s clip of Dean Martin behind a Jeepster Commando. According to the Facebook post, “Dean Martin, Senta Berger, Janice Rule, and a ‘67 Jeepster Commando Station Wagon. From the 1967 Matt Helm film “The Ambushers”.” As Derek Redmond pointed out, it’s not the only Jeep in that movie.

The Internet Movie Car Database has even more pics from the movie. In fact, Jeepster Commandos appeared in a variety of movies: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Jeep_model-Jeepster+Commando.html

“1970 Hurst Jeepster #1
This could be the rarest production Jeep in the world
It is not known exactly how many of these were built. Some say 100 but I think more have come out of the woodwork.
From research done, there’s no solid record of the Hurst build numbers. There is a registry and this one is the earliest number out there. This may be the one pictured in the showroom photo. I have only seen 2 Hurst Jeepsters with the blue stripe that runs side to side in front of the red stripe. Only the really early ones.
Has the luggage rack
Has the rare Hurst badges (not aftermarket). I tried to have a company rechrome all the original emblems, but they were too pitted. The hurst badges are not pot metal, so they chromed up real nice.
The hood scoop had been stolen years before I got this vehicle. The one on there currently is a reproduction and made to look old. The tach was stollen with the scoop, but the Dixco hood tach is what is put in there now.
The wheels and tires are brand new. Have about 5 miles on the tires. I drove it to a car show and back.

1969 Jeepster Commando Stoughton, WI $3500

Someone created this custom Commando out of what was probably a rusted body.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/458282124826200/

“V6 225 3 speed T14 manual transmission. It was redone to look nice with rustoleum tractor red paint and filler. It has wood floor and homemade truck bed. I redid brakes and have it running well. Plow pump was removed. Unique and road worthy, but not highway worthy yet. Not many out there and would be great off-road as 4wd works.”

Steve shared these projects.  There’s definitely some rust, but I can’t tell how bad it is. My guess is that the seller doesn’t know a lot about them, as he labels one a ‘truck’.

“1970 Jeepster Commando. Has original dauntless V6 engine. Has Body rust, but frame is in good condition. Body has bad rusting in the corners as, but should be easy to replace There is a dent in the drivers side back corner as well as the drivers side front. The skirt of the body has rusted through on the drivers side, but I do have a replacement trim.

Original Dana front and rear axles as well as transfer case. Has Warn locking hubs. Last ran a year ago. It was the convertible version, and i still have the frame to the top, but the actual cloth is gone. No seats or title. Do to time and work, unable to complete this project. Would make a great off road vehicle or 4×4 overlander. Also a great prospect if you are wanting a parts vehicle for another commando.”
