Here’s a beautiful Commando!

“1968 Jeepster Commando.  I have owned this fantastic Jeep for several years. I personally (and the previous owner) have completely renovated and improved this classic from bumper to bumper. I have over $19,000 in receipts for just the improvements not including the $4,000 paint job.

Newer 4.3 liter GMC Vortec V-6 from a 1995 Jimmy. Installed when it had 24,000 miles. It now has less than 36,000 and runs as you would expect (like new!) It is the ideal size for a retro-fit and has more-than-plenty of power and torque. Good gas mileage too. I have been using synthetic blend oil. It does not use any oil nor leak a drop, and of course, does not ever smoke. Lots and lots of new stuff under the hood including new radiator and steel fan. Matching wiring harness and correct wiring through-out. Computerized fuel pump …”

1948 Jeepster Pennsylvania eBay

Mark spotted this project.  As Mark noted, this appears perfect for those bondo-challenged rebuilders among us.

“I have a nice 1948 Willys Jeepster project up for auction. The owner of this car had me store it for him over 3 years ago and I haven’t heard a word from him since. By now the storage fees out way the value of the car so the car now belongs to me and is for sale. There is no title for this car due to this situation and that’s why its listed in this section. NOW THE GOOD.  The car was painted at a local car dealership and then moved into my climate controlled shop and has been here since, just like you see it. It looks like it was painted yesterday. Body is great,  all of the yellow and black painted parts seen in pics are ready to reinstall. The frame was stripped and repainted black when the body was done.  A great car to start putting back together. Other parts include the engine, radiator, convertible top frame, seats, moldings, glass, tons of small parts, etc. We were told it was all there when it arrived. Not being an expert, it’s hard for me to say. I cannot find a VIN number, frame numbers etc,  but all seems to be original as we were told by the last owner. The interior of the body is still in need or restoration. the dash was stripped and primed inside. Under the cowl is super clean. The underbody around the floor pans has not been painted but has been mostly sanded clean. I believe a RH rear fender was replaced or worked at one time due to “new” looking exposed metal in the inner wheel well. I would be glad to answer any questions if I can. Other pics also availible.  Feel free to ask. Car is also availible for personal inspection in my shop Thanks!”

Here’s a fun Jeepster.

“1950 Willys Jeepster, title is a 46. This is a quick little car, that runs great, steers and stops like it should. No frills just a cool little drop top driver. I bought it as a basket case and replaced or rebuilt pretty much the entire car. This car is made to drive, no bull, just you the road and a V8 growl out the back from three inch pipes. You can spend time driving or waxing, if you’re a waxer car show guy, this is not your kind of car. I completed the car three years ago and it is 100% dependable.

Borg Warner 5 speed trans with 11” hydraulic clutch and S10 Blazer rear end.

SUSPENSION and BRAKES
Power front disc with drum rear, all brake components are new, to include all lines, Rack and pinion steering with modified Willys column, new tires and chrome wheels.

BODY & INTERIOR
New top, including wood bows, new side curtains, new upholstery, custom engine turned stainless instrument panel with new gauges and switches, new wiring harness, custom welded in floor pans, four seat belts.

I have a new project, and just too many cars, this one has to go. Call Dave @ 607-527-8847  for more info”

Jeepster Prototypes

• CATEGORIES: Features, Jeepster This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I was doing some research on GBW’s FC 170s when stumbled upon several Jeepster prototypes listed at the American Jeepster Club along with some other Jeepster specific information.  Below I reference 3 prototypes found on the history page.  Please visit the American Jeepster Club’s ‘Willys-Overland Jeepster History’ page to learn more.  The fourth image is a 1979 Jeepster Prototype press release I found at offroaders.com — it seems to me it was a good idea NOT to develop this one.

This Jeepster looks better than new!

“This 1949 Jeepster just recieved a frame off restoration to original specs. All parts have either been rebuilt, replaced, refurbished or new. The L-134 engine and overdrive have been rebuilt.There is no rust anywhere, as all damaged panels were replaced. The car is technically correct except for the steering wheel (is a 1950 model). The top cover and wood frames are all new. The tires are new Cokers and have approximately 50 miles on them. All the glass and rubber moldings are new. It has the correct Dupont Fiesta yellow color, interior is vinyl. The original mileage before the restoration is unknown. This is not a 100 point car but close. The air cleaner is an upgraded #675 model.There are vey minor issues with the fuel gage (sticking occasionally) and the horn (sticking occasionally). The car starts very easily and drives like a  Jeepster should. Bidders are welcome to have a private appraiser inspect the vehicle before the auction ends. Sale includes all reciepts, photos, manuals, extra parts.”

Not a bad price.  Carbs are cheap and easy to replace!  That said, how exactly does one ‘crack’ a carb??? A block yes, but a carb?  Maybe it’s the intake manifold?

“Classic Willy’s Jeepster – good condition- was running great until we cracked carburetor – Must sell – $ 6,500.00 OBO Email if interested to see.”

3 Jeeps, a Jeepster, and a Trailer Central Washington

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, Jeepster This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  The m-38 is still available, but I don’t know about the rest.

I’ve seen this Jeepster for sale, but other items haven’t been listed.  I am wondering if the  ‘M-38’ actually is an old MB with a replacement body.

1. 48 Jeepster, runs and has a L head engine. Most miles are towed since previous owner towed it to parades for 50 years. Needs right interior and some body work. $4500 The Jeepster is a driver and I drive it a few times a month.
2. Jeep project. CJ2A. Frame has had some work but needs brakes rebuilt. Engine was supposed to be rebuilt but need new cam. But its been painted nice. Has a decent body with just a piece that needs replace in tool box under the passenger seat and some minor dings smoothed out. Has nice windshield, hood and grille. I have 16″ wheels that need new tires but has tires on it now that are 15 inch to roll it around. Needs driver seat. I have everything else to put it together including two good fenders. $2000.
3. Project jeep that has engine that turns free by hand but missing starter and other external engine parts. Has windshield and grille now and needs front end work. Comes with a project jeep that the front frame broke off and needs welded on along with axles and other spare parts worth a lot. And also comes with a body that needs some welding. It was cut in half and stitched back together. $600
4. M38 with 302 that runs. Needs master cylinder installed and will run, but body needs welding since the guy who had it just fiberglassed it and bondo over that. So weld it back and its ready for the hill. It has a M38 hard top with doors. And M38 grille now too. Radiator needs installed. $1800 with a title but an error was made and the title says 43 instead of 53.
5. and last I have a trailer with data plates that was a fire dept pump trailer so has two holes that were in the side for hoses that are plugs and need welding. No lunette or landing gear or title. $800″

1949 Jeepster Central Washington $4500

• CATEGORIES: Jeepster • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Price now $4500

(10/26/09) This still have the 6 volt system.  Unusual paint job.  Needs top.

“1949 jeepster that has a L head 4 cylinder engine and runs. And I have driven it up to two days ago, but rain came. It has been rattlecanned red so paint looks bad. Has a large long gouge on passenger side and rusted out areas in the rocker panels. Column shifter with an overdrive. Shifts very good. 2 wheel drive. And a very fun car to drive. Large area in back with a large back seat. Interior needs total restoration and top bows sandblasted and painted. Needs canvas top too. Didn’t need it in good weather. These are very rare and obviously hard to find. Might trade for an original CJ3B. or a MB or M38 (not a A1). Jeeps need to be complete and fairly good condition. Still 6 volt. Starts almost everytime on first or second try. I do perfer cash though.”

This particular car has been featured in an article in Open Road Magazine. The engine has recently been rebuilt and the rest of the car is almost fully restored. This car is a head turner.
