Commando C101 Jeepster

The Jeepster was revived in 1966 in the form of the Jeepster Commando ("C101"). The F-head Hurricane straight-4 was used, a direct descendent of the original Go Devil engine, and four wheel drive was finally added. This engine produced 75 hp (55 kW) at 4000 rpm and 114 ft·lbf (154 N·m) at 2000 rpm. The 160 hp (119 kW) Dauntless V6 was optional and preferred with its 235 ft·lbf (318 N·m) of torque. 57,350 Kaiser-spec "C101" Jeepster Commandos were sold between 1966 and 1971.
Engine

The Jeepster/Commando was originally offered with the "Hurricane" F-Head 134 I4. During the late 60's the "Dauntless" Buick 225 V6 was an optional engine. When AMC purchased Jeep from Kaiser, the AMC 232, 258, and 304 became available in the Commando C104 in 1972 and 1973.

Transmission

The T-90 3 speed was the standard transmission for the Jeepster with the F-Head engine and the T-86 3 speed was used with the Dauntless V6. The T-14 replaced the T-86 with the 6 cylinder engines and later the T-15 was used with the 304 equipped Commando. The TH400 was the optional automatic available for the Commando only with the Buick and AMC engines.
