“Starts, runs and drives. Very solid, straight body, strong engine, no rust, good floors and interior, repainted 30 years ago, always garaged, good brakes, clutch, transmission and rear end. Lights work. Has optional Borg Warner overdrive.
This Jeepster needs some minor attention, but I have too many other cars ahead of it. Needs:
Tires
Muffler (has a rattle)
Dashboard overdrive cable (Overdrive works, but it’s switched on and off by a push/pull cable)
Top needs restitching (or a brand new top is $395)
Wiper motor repair
Air cleaner cover
Passenger side wing window glass
Some cosmetic items”

Dan spotted this Jeepster.
“This classic historical convertable is a 1949 Jeepster. First Jeep for the public after WW2. It is beautiful. The engine is the flat head 4 with 63 HP. Long stroke gives it good power. Three speed and overdrive. Very nice condition. Look at the pics of this great Jeepster. The price is the price from haggardys list on the internet. Way below the value I need the room for a remodel of the house. PRICE LOWERED. RUNS PERFECT. MY LOSS YOUR GAIN.”
