Vehicle Description
This 1972 Jeep Commando Super Commando II is a rarely-seen classic
SUV that comes with all the best features, like V8 power,
four-wheel drive, and a removable convertible hardtop. It makes for
a great way to have a stand-out classic that also has real
usability.
A true Jeep Commando is quite a rare find. They were only available
for two years without the Jeepster name attached. And more than the
moniker, the Commando had its own new front end and unique
sheetmetal that made it one of the most distinctive Jeeps in
decades. What makes this one even more distinct is it's done in
range-topping Super Commando II trim. While we don't have the
paperwork to confirm an SC2, the appearance absolutely shows the
premium feeling correctly. The light blue paint and white hardtop
harmonize with nature like a sunny summer sky with just the right
amount of clouds. Plus, the SC2 the paint theme loves to show the
pieces that makes the Commando special. The darker blue streak
highlights the power bulge in the hood, and the full-length stripe
is a reminder that these had flush-fitting front fenders that gave
these a more substantial style. It's all part of a highly detailed
package. You see it in how the hardtop has a hint of windshield
overhang, and how the fender flares seamlessly flow into the rocker
panels. It proves that while this one has been enjoyed over the
years, there have also been some nice investments in making sure
this classic Jeep makes a great first impression.
The sea of blue continues inside, and it shows off quite a comfy
interior. You have high-back bucket seats with a velour pattern,
and the door panels were even done to match. Plus, there are nice
features like full carpeting and a cup holder center console. The
dash has a great classic look with a clean pad, factory
speedometer, heat/defrost controls, and even the locking hub
instructions are still affixed. You'll also notice well-integrated
upgrades for more confident driving, including the auxiliary
gauges. And even when you remove the hardtop, there's the
protection and strength of a roll bar.
One of the great reasons the Commando is so special is that it was
developed to hold AMC's V8. This optional 304 cubic-inch unit looks
authentic and authoritative under the hood. In fact, the whole
engine bay has the same look of a well-invested clean/classic
presentation as the rest of this Jeep. The way it fires up and runs
reminds you it's a stout powerhouse that has been well-respected. A
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and Goodyear
tires make for a good all-around cruiser. Plus, don't forget as a
true jeep you have a proper two-speed 4x4 transfer case.
Rarity, distinction, and function all come together on this Jeep
Commando. So you know it's the right classic 4x4 for your beach
house garage. Call now!
