UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
I wonder what’s under the wood on the back.
“This is from the “1950 ty” street rod. It was done back then and is that way today. It has a 1955 chev 265 cu in motor with a slush box tranny. Other way it is stock with a few up date to have it run down the road”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was For Trade
This is for Trade only.
“Like the the title says I have a 1949 jeepster for trade only. Its got mustang front suspension and a chevy small block about 21,000 miles on it. Weld wheels Runs and drives great. Needs a little tlc on the paint some chips but no dents or damage. Nice top side windows great summer toy. These are hard to find only three years produced. Will consider all trades besides motorcycles, boats or anything newer than 1972 unless really nice and custom and bagged”
UPDATE: Was $5500.
Might make an easy restoration.
“car was restored 28 years ago , driven few times, been stored in a garage since, hasn’t been touched for 9 years until it was brought to my shop 10/21/15 $5500 obo may trade/ partial trade”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Looks like it might make a good project.
“1951 Willy’s Jeepster convertible. Great restoring condition. Very minimal body problems. No engine or transmission. Call Wade.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay.
Anybody scanned this 16 page Jeepster brochure? This is the first I’ve seen it.
“1950 Jeepster Outstanding Sports Car color, dealer sales brochure (Willys – Overland), ORIGINAL. Form no. VJ73MI-3CM-350 measures 5.5 x 8.25 with 16 pages/panels. New engines Hurricane 4 and Lightning 6. Specifications on back page.”
Looks in good shape.
“All original. Runs good. Starts good.
Flathead 4 cylinder engine, 3 speed manual with overdrive.
Good top and side curtains.
Lots of fun.
Own a piece of the past.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500.
Looks nice.
“6 cylinder 3 on the tree overdrive newer top . side curtains ever thing works may trade for?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
(08/16/2015) This is worth a look.
“Clean, rust free Jeepster, very original except for strong running Buick V6 w TH350 auto trans. Front suspension, all brakes, shocks, steering, all rebuilt this year, Bob’s speedometer rebuilt the orig gauges (expensive but correct) still in box, orig speedo is still in dash and looks, works very good. Very solid unrestored body including rust free floors & frame. Original patina paint (Chesapeake Gray – looks like black) polish and drive as is or repaint. NOS Ivory steering wheel w orig center cap installed, orig seats in good shape. Top replaced 1980s – have all side curtains in great shape. Great driver. Goes a bit. To a good home for Best Offer closest to $9000.”
Runs and drives, but not original.
“Registered in CA as 1950 Willy’s but sits on 1980 Toyota drive train. Upgraded engine,brakes and suspension. $4,000.00 or possible trade for truck. Runs and drives good. Call after 4:00 pm”
UPDATE II: This *might* have evolved into a scam. The seller agreed to sell to one buyer and provided directions to get the vehicle, but now is avoiding the buyer’s calls.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900
Here is an odd one I spotted on Facebook. It reminds me of Bob’s odd Jeepster-like vehicle.
“This is a very strange “Jeep like” vehicle that is not a Jeep. I was told that it was possibly a specialty vehicle built in the 60s and that it originally had a 4 or 6 cylinder engine that the previous salvage yard owner removed and sold. 2 wheel drive. No seats or top frame. It has full length curved metal running board fenders that Jeeps never had. It also has a center console that housed the shifter. It was originally painted a coral pink color so the possibility exists that it was a resort shuttle vehicle. It is NOT, repeat NOT, a Jeep Surrey model! They look nothing like this “thing”. No engine or transmission. I saved it from a salvage yard over 10 years ago. It has 14 inch “A.J. Foyt” mag wheels that probably are original. Rusty but restorable. Buy it for $900 firm, fix it up, and have the only one out there.”

“Selling my 1968 Jeepster C-101 Commando. It was Jeep’s version of the Ford Bronco and IH Scout. It has a SOLID frame, I just painted the whole thing. Has a nice big front brushguard with D ring hooks too. Front and rear ends are good, both Dana’s with 5 bolt hubs. Front hub lockers (Warn I think), new rear leaf spring packs, and solid front ones.
It has a BUILT Dauntless 225 V-6 (Factory motor). This motor has been completely gone through! New connecting rods, Isky Cams and Cranks, Isky lifters and valves, EVERY gasket has been replaced, and I also have all the extras. New distributor cap, newer plug wires, new spark plugs, a new water pump, new alternator, and most of the hardware has been replaced with grade 8. It will need an alternator bracket and radiator.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
It doesn’t run.
“1949 Willys Overland Jeepster. Vehicle has a Ford 200 6 cyl that does not run, everything else is all original. Very little rust in the lower rear quarter panel. Otherwise very solid body. I have the top bows.”
Reminds me of a pink surrey.
“I have a nice little restoration project for sale, Its a convertible and no holes in the body just minor surface rust. I do have some parts for the restoration. It has a new chevrolet motor and tranny never been started in it. Great project for the right collector or family ??”
UPDATE: Was $850. **SOLD**
Might be some parts value here.
“This is a 1951 Willys Overland Jeepster. I bought it to turn into a hot rod, but ran into another that was partially built, so this one became a parts rig. It has no floor and no steering column. I have most of the trim for this as well as the windshield, seats (most) and the top. These are known for their very solid frames which have a LARGE X brace in the middle, so you can add your horsepower with little worry. For an extra $300 I’ll throw in an AMC Pacer front suspension I was gong to install. It’s a nearly perfect fit and gives you independent front suspension, power rack and pinion steering and disc brakes, much better than the original transverse left spring setup. The only thing I’ll need to keep for my own project is the back seat frame. I have another, but this one is nicer. Good Ohio title in hand.”
UPDATE ***SOLD** Was $19,500.

This might make a good restoraiton.
“This was the last true touring car made in the United States. None of the Willys Jeepsters were made in four wheel drive. The body is straight, and ran as recently as six years ago. No body parts are missing. Little or no rust. V6 Buick engine. Needs new brake lines before it can be driven. Kept in heated garage. Ugly oxidized pink paint with matching tuck&roll. Makes everybody smile even unrestored. Firm on price. ”
Glenn forwarded this nice looking Commando. That’s an interesting front bumper. Needs a little work.

“This Jeepster was in running order with new paint and seats in 1974 when I was in High School. It has been under tarp or hard cover for 40 years. I always thought I would get it back in good working order but now it needs to go to someone who wants to own this classic. It has a Ford flat head and 3 speed manual transmission. It was running when I parked it because of some minor wiring issues (lights). I just recently uncovered it and have decided to sell it after all these years.”
