  2. I had one like it year wise in late 70's drove like a tank. Tiring in town. Heavy and would go anywhere except 60 mph max and whining about it.

    2. ^^^One night I took my 68 CJ5 out to a remote spot on Rte 66 to see how fast it would go. Just shy of 90 mph with 4:88 diffs and OD. But a CHP had followed me and he pulled me over. Said that was a good place to test but don't do it again. No ticket.

  3. I've always liked the styling, but in this case, those fender flares are cheesy.

  4. Department of Transportation is having a fit of the vapors with the 'bumper's on that vehicle. May as well a 2x4 piece of wood. The sun shades are purely decoration too. That is a nice paint color.

    The whole appearance of that is cool - I bet that is a chick magnet of epic proportion.

  6. My grand dad had one in the early 70s. He reground the cam to change valve over lap trying to get better gas mileage. Not a bad unit as I recall.

  7. I like them,
    One of my first jobs as a 16 yr old was working at a service station and they had one as a shop truck , had the 304 V-8 automatic and hardtop.
    I always thought it scooted around pretty good.

    I have a Early Bronco, and theyve gotten expensive, but the Commandos are still reasonably affordable.
