How many 1991 eliminators were made?

[boosst]

I read that 5188 Comanches were made on 1991 but would like to see a break down of 4wd, 2wd, shortbed, longbed, eliminators, etc

[terrawombat]

Wouldn't we all...

[Pete M]

chrysler won't release that info. :(

[Geonovast]

My official scientific wild @$$ guess is 7.

[boosst]

7 sounds right. That would make mine worth what?....25 grand :cheers:

30 grand if it has a factory cargo light.

[jimoshel]

Fifty grand if it has a cashiers check for thirty grand in the glove box.

[terrawombat]

Use the cashiers check to buy the remaining six '91 Eliminators. The current owners likely do not have the inside production information you now have and do not know the true worth of their vehicle and they can be had for cheap.

 

A sound investment.

I slapped Eliminator decals on my 91 Pioneer, so to the un-trained eye, there was 8.

I read that 5188 Comanches were made on 1991 but would like to see a break down of 4wd, 2wd, shortbed, longbed, eliminators, etc

 

I can't provide a breakdown, but I can confirm that's a reasonable estimate.

 

According to a 1992 article, when the Comanche was ended on June 12, 1992, approximately 12 Comanches were being produced per day. See http://jeepcomanche.blogspot.com/1992/06/chrysler-to-end-production-of-jeep.html

 

12 Comanches per day X 5 days per week X 52 weeks per year = 3120 Comanche trucks produced in one year at that rate.

 

Jeep sold 7,252 MJs for the 1990 year http://jeepcomanche.blogspot.com/1990/07/national-council-of-jeepeagle-dealers.html

 

That means for 1990, approximately 28 MJs were being produced per day. (Probably more, dealers never sell every new vehicle in the production year, hence why you can get great "end of year sales")

 

 

If we take the 5188 number for 1991, divide by 52 weeks, divide by 5 days per week, we get approximately 20 MJs produced per day. That's a reasonable reduction in the number produced, given the declining sales shown in the 1990 article.

 

Based upon the above, each year, the number of MJs being produced per day was being reduced by approximately 10.

Bull$#!&. I am tired of @#$%ing idiots mudding my waters with incorrect statements. The Comanche DID NOT end in June. The rumored last one produced was on May 18th, 1992. Our closest member is May 4th, 1992. Even this article you linked states that:

While the Comanche is officially scheduled to go out of production June 12, the final Comanche may have already been built.

If anyone needs or desires, correct info or a straight answer, talk to me. I live this, and I take a lot of pride in my findings and running the registry.

 

No, we do not know the breakdown of the packages produced. Yes, some numbers will show 4x4's as compared to 2x4's. But only some years. Don't ask me why. Don't ever trust any numbers posted by Jeep. They are horrible at getting facts right and they can't even get the packages correct. For a time they actually listed the Comanche as made from '84-'92.

Fair enough. I'm definitely not stating that the production number is accurate, I'm stating that based upon my math, that seems like a fair ballpark number. I apologize if that was not how it came across.

 

I'm only estimating numbers here, based upon available data.

 

It saddens me that all we have to deal with are estimates and rumors...

 

Somewhere in a storage shed somewhere are multiple boxes full of papers containing the "holy grail" of Comanche history, I'm sure of it. Not even Chrysler knows where it is.

 

Until then, we'll have to try to piece its history together best we can.
