“for sale rare 49 willys jeepster in the process of restoration.most all parts are there,including many new ones.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
It’s a project.
“TRUE BARN FIND!!! 1950 Willy’s Jeepster Convertable-DO NOT RUN- 283 Engine -3 Speed Transmission-GREAT PROJECT”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Mike shared this project. Is that chalk on the body?
“I bought this truck last summer hoping to make it my project truck but living in the city and not having a shop I bit off much more than I can chew. Now looking to sell it and get some of my money back on it. I think it would make an awesome restore project but someone that has the time and expertise. The guy I bought it from told me that the motor would turn over and it’s not locked up. I haven’t personally crank it though. It did have oil in it. I started to break down some of the parts planning to sand them and clean them up a bit but I still have everything you see in the pictures except the seats. They were pretty far gone.
Make me an offer.”
Travis spotted this rare Hurst Jeepster Commando model. However, it looks like this one has added gauges in the middle of the dash. (This video shows a stock dash, though the Hurst Badge on the hood appears incorrect). Here are some black and white photos of a HJC.

“1971 Jeep jeepster hurst wagon. #99 out of 103 produced. This vehicle was built on the last-run of Hurst Jeepsters. Rebuilt V6 225 engine, new timing chain, distributor, water pump, gas tank and sender, new tires and brakes, hoses with correct dauntless engine decals. Has rare special sales order plate. New interior, headliner, seat covers and paint. Recent paint and chrome, stripes and freshly painted engine compartment, undercoated body. NOS owner’s and repair manual. 74,125 original miles.”
Has some later model hubcaps that might have been from a pink DJ-3A Surrey.

“No documents – selling as is. $1200 or best offer, but go this weekend. Unsure of year, assuming 1948-1954.”
Dave alerted me to this auction. The 1951 doesn’t have any photos just yet.
Now this looks like a barn find, one someone covered and put away. I wouldn’t call it a barn-find price, but looks like it has potential.
https://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-willys-jeepster-barn-find/6556439009.html
“1948 Willys Jeepster. All original barn find, 4cyl ran and drove when parked. 6v system, convertible top, manual tranny. Vehicle is in great shape for its age with very little rot. Would make a great restoration candidate or clean it up, refresh the mechanicals and drive it like it is.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/08/2016) One runs and has rust. The other looks more solid, but doesn’t run.

“here i have a pair of jeepsters in need of some love but plenty to work with. these are very limited production jeeps coming after the willys jeeps, but before amc took them over these are prior to the cj5, the cj7 and are very very rare the yellow one is the 1970 and the blue is the 1967
the first is a 1967 jeepster revival series convertible with the roadster package and a rare automatic transmission. it does not run but has tons of potential $5800 . I have a spare dauntless v6 motor to go with the jeep the motor was fine in this one is has been sitting for about 5 years.
the second of the two is a 1970 jeepster commando recent convertible top has the dauntless v6 that does run and a manual transmission this also comes with a plow setup $ 4700
both of these jeepsters are the kaiser built models not the later amc models the 1970 is actually the last year they were still built by kaiser

UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/20/2018) I thought this was going to be all stock. I was surprised to see the V8.

“The 1950 Willy’s Jeepster is perhaps one of the most overlooked vehicles on the market today. Restored or modified Jeepster have sold for over $45,000.
This Jeepster has a 350 Corvette Engine with an Automatic Turbo 400 transmission. New brakes, top, seats, gauges, and additional parts.
Easy and fun to drive!
The Jeepster runs and drives great and always brings a BIG “Thumps Up” wherever she goes.
Willing to accept a reasonable offer or interesting trade.”
Not sure how much value is here.

“350 chevy
power brakes

60’s oldsmobile rear end”
Has a vintage roadster look with a powertrain update.

“This is a real head turner, and is a fun driver quality ride. Powered by a 4 bolt chevy 350 with a turbo 400 transmission, both came out of a 30,000 mile motor home.
New carburetor and a new convertible top. Porta-wall white wall tires, for that correct period look.”
Looks promising.

“This is a 1949 Willys Jeepster Phaeton Project. It is nearly complete and the body and frame have been media blasted, The frame was then primered and painted gloss black enamel w/hardener. The body has no dents and was primered. This will make an easy restoration project, a killer hot rod project or a gnarly off roader. It is all original with no modifications and comes with the original 3 speed transmission with overdrive.
There is no engine but I have a GM 3.8 V6 available. These will accommodate engines from the original 4 cyl. flathead to a small block V8. Parts for these cars are readily available and inexpensive from several sources both new and used.
These are the last of the Phaetons that were produced and there were only about 6000 1949’s made. These Phaetons were only made for 3 years. I have owned a jeep like this before and they are a blast to drive as everyone who sees it gives you the thumbs up and crowds around it when you park.”
Austin shared this one. No description provided.

Appears to have a military head.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $16,500.
It’s best termed a mechanical restoration, as there are still some imperfections on the interior.
“1969 Jeepster Commando 4×4 with removable hardtop. Completely rebuilt 255 “Dauntless” V6 and extensive work on mechanicals to make like new. All work done less than 6k miles ago. Odometer reads 86,240k. Receipts and photo documentation will be provided. Three speed manual transmission shifts perfectly and allows for great cruising speeds around town or on freeway. Seats are comfortable and material is in great shape.
Rare vintage decals and black plates add to great original looks. Jeepster has been stored indoors and in Ojai for most of it’s life. I have spent over $7,000 on upgrades and mechanical restoration which include; new motor, new brakes and drums, new suspension, new tie rods, new exhaust, new radiator, carb rebuild, new vintage style off road tires, new gas tank, hoses, and sending unit, new tow hitch and wiring (never used).
