Has potential.

“Hi, this is a 1949 Jeepster needing full restoration. The Jeep is complete minus a new cloth top (all bows and rear window are present) the antenna and the stainless strip on the hood-all other trim is present, she will need new tires as they are very old. You can jump on the front fender bottoms and the rear steps as they are very solid, there is rust through in the front floors and the outer rockers-both have amateur patches. She comes with a bill of sale and many old Connecticut registrations. Asking $4,900 or willing to trade for a 1930’s car or truck…I am willing to add cash if yours is worth more. ”

Body looks pretty solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

Needs some work, but there may be value here. “Dad” certainly loved it.

“My brother and I inherited this from our Dad and don’t really care to put the effort into it. We do have all of the original parts, there is some damage on the front end, after it was in an accident it was literally moved to every house we lived in. My Dad’s first car he refused to part with it. There are some things brand new that he purchased, still in boxes. It’s obviously a project car but not in that bad of condition considering. We have pink slip although he used to register it every year, I think that fell to the wayside when he got sick.”

UPDATE: Was $5600. **SOLD**

Might be a good project.

“This original flat head 4 cylinder 1949 Willys Jeepster is as unmolested as you’ll find. It runs and drives and has a good drivetrain, but is not a driver. It needs a full restoration. Both the front suspension and rear axle has been rebuilt. The driveshaft and the brakes (including new drums) are all rebuilt. There are various new parts, which have been installed so this can be started and driven, and any work completed has been done properly. The radiator has been rodded out, new water pump, hoses (oil and water), plugs, distributer, wires, rebuilt carb, new steering wheel, etc….. The wiring is shot, and is only wired to start and has brake lights. However, a new OE style harness is included.

Might be a good price.

Glenn forwarded this ad. Looks like there’s value here.

“Here are two jeepsters for sale as a package deal one is rare the other is not so much. y]the yellow one is the cammando style and not so rare. the green one has the continantal spare tire kit and is more rare. they were built in the late 60s around 68-69 or so. they both ran and wore parked years ago the motors are not frozen. both need parts. the yellow one is very rusty but solid frame. the green one has never been left out but still needs lots of inside and out work.”
