GarageScout Take

The included factory drivetrain and steering parts give this lifted Commando a documented path back toward stock, while the current setup centers on a Buick-sourced V6 and power steering. At 56,000 miles, it sits near the high end for the generation. The repaint followed rust-spot repairs, and the seller reports a minor engine oil leak.

Strengths

  • A 1980 Buick Century-sourced 3.8-liter V6 replacement is fitted, with the removed factory engine included.
  • The seller lists recent replacement of the clutch pressure plate, throw-out bearing, spring shackles, and tires.

Watch For

  • The seller reports that the Jeepster has been repainted after rust spots were repaired.
  • A very minor engine oil leak is reported.
  • The factory 3.7-liter V6, radiator, and steering system were removed and replaced or retrofitted.
