Have you heard of a sports commando?

I have stumbled across a 1971 Jeepster: Sport Commando for sale? I have never heard of this and was wondering if anyone has heard of the "Sport" package before? It has a really cool stripe similiar to the Renegade look. I will post a picture in the next post. Thanks!!

 

Oh, we need more photos there, JP. Use the flash too, it'll light up the shadowed areas.

Is it a good deal? Ya gonna get it?

 

Actually, the owner sent the picture so I didn't have control over the flash. The other pics are better...since you asked...

 

Yes, The book I have says in 1971 they made the Hurst version and the SC-1 as special editions. It says the SC-1 were butterscitch colored with a black rallye stripe and actually a 71 1/2 model. It mentions a luggage rack and a high end trim package. They aren't as sought after as the Hurst or anything, but they were only made in 71 1/2 to sell a few extra units before the change in 72. That pic looks butterscotch colored to me with black stripes so thats what I think.

 

Wow, sledgehammer, you are the bomb!! I can't believe you found this just minutes after I posted. This is a big help! Yes, the luggage rack is still in tact from one of the pics I didn't post. Wow, this forum is great!

 

We didn't make it to the Jam in TN this year but somebody showed up with a Half Cab version of the SC-1. I don't think that was an option for the HC. Looks like it was originally a hardtop but very nice any way you look at it 8) . There's a picture of it over at the AJC board.

 

You buy it yet? (hint)

 

that is one nice looking barn find

 

box cleaned up...thanks Dan!
