Jeep Other Super Commando II 304 V8 1972

General description : 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!

About Jeep
The history of Jeep is a tale of rugged innovation and an iconic journey from its roots as a military workhorse to its various civilian versions, including American competitors to the Range Rover.

The Birth of the Jeep:
The Jeep story began during World War II when the U.S. Army put out a call for a small, versatile, four-wheel-drive vehicle. Several American automakers responded, but the Willys-Overland company, along with its partner Ford, ultimately won the contract. The result was the Willys MB, an agile and tough vehicle that quickly earned the nickname "Jeep." The name's origin is a subject of some debate, but it's believed to have been derived from the military phonetic alphabet's "GP" designation, which stood for "General Purpose" or "Government Purpose."

World War II Service:
Jeeps became the backbone of the American military, serving in various roles from reconnaissance to medical transport. Their durability, four-wheel-drive capability, and ease of maintenance made them invaluable during the war. They were used in all theaters of the conflict and left an indelible mark on military history.

Post-War Transition:
After World War II, many surplus military Jeeps found their way into civilian hands, and their utility became evident beyond the battlefield. Recognizing this potential, Willys-Overland began producing the CJ (Civilian Jeep) series, starting with the CJ-2A in 1945. These early civilian Jeeps retained their military roots but were adapted for farm, ranch, and off-road use. They soon gained popularity among outdoor enthusiasts and those in need of a rugged, capable vehicle.

The Jeep Brand Expands:
Over the decades, the Jeep brand continued to evolve, introducing a wide range of models to cater to different consumer needs. The Jeep Wagoneer, introduced in 1963, was one of the earliest luxury SUVs and a competitor to the Range Rover, offering four-wheel drive and a comfortable ride.

The Jeep Cherokee, introduced in 1974, was a pioneering compact SUV that combined off-road capability with on-road comfort. Its success laid the foundation for the modern SUV segment.

In 1984, Jeep introduced the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which further advanced the brand's presence in the luxury SUV market. The Grand Cherokee was designed to deliver a refined driving experience without sacrificing its off-road prowess.

Jeep Wrangler, which evolved from the CJ series, has remained a steadfast symbol of off-road capability and rugged adventure. The Wrangler has garnered a devoted following of enthusiasts who appreciate its simplicity and go-anywhere attitude.

Jeep Renegade, Jeep Compass, and Jeep Gladiator are examples of modern Jeep models that cater to a wide range of consumer preferences and market segments.

American Competitors to the Range Rover:
While Jeep has produced various models to compete in the luxury SUV market, including the Grand Cherokee, they have also faced competition from American automakers like Cadillac and Lincoln, which have introduced their own luxury SUVs to compete with the Range Rover. These vehicles offer a blend of comfort, technology, and off-road capability, making them alternatives to the Range Rover for American consumers.

In conclusion, the history of Jeep is a story of adaptability and innovation, with the brand transitioning from its military origins to become a symbol of rugged individualism and adventure. Jeep's ability to blend off-road capability with on-road comfort has made it a respected and iconic American brand in the world of 4x4 vehicles.
