It’s rare Jeepster (1/10), but needs work.

“We purchased this Hurst 8/2/2011 from Pittsburgh. A private collector had it in storage in Utah for a while. Since we’ve had it we having done the following  
Front seat recovered
Transmission seal replaced
Engine rebuilt
10″ drum conversion
Installed power assist brake system
New shocks
New tires
Front bumper restored
New heater core
79,316 miles on old engine 
Vehicle is currently non running. New engine installed ( zero time), transmission and transfer case installed. Linkage needs to be reinstalled. Electric system needs to be reinstalled. Fuel lines & water lines need to be hooked up. Some rust on front floor pans and rocker panels. Tailgate has usual rust for a Jeep. Was a great runner, but was rebuilt due to thrown rod. Had PA inspection in 2012. Has not run since 2013 when engine transmission and transfer case were removed.

We have increasing run out of time for this project , we would love to sell it to someone who would enjoy it more.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4700.

This might be a good price.

“1967 Jeepster Commando. V6, 4 speed trans. Power steering. Removable original steel hardtop. Spring over axle lift. Nice tires and wheels. Full roll cage. Chevy tilt column. Runs great. Originally from Arizona. No body rust. Clean Ca. title and current registration. Asking $4700 CASH. Serious callers only!! No text messages!!!!!!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.

Looks like a good price if the engine problem is only a solenoid.

“1970 jeepster, registered and title in hand, all original, ran ok before I let it sit I just rebuilt the carb but either the starter or solenoid went out I have too many projects at this time so this one needs to go.. It needs work but it’s complete will need to be trailered.. Asking 4k obo need money to fund my other projects or I would keep it.. Can deliver preferably local for the right price.”

Craig spotted this one. Looks like a good price.

“Have 3 Jeepsters 67, 70, 71 the 2 front ones in the picture both ran when parked about 3 years ago. The orange one has engine as well but is already tore down on engine stand and looks good internally. Had great intention to take the 3 to make 1 but never seem to have the time and it’s time they move on. One is a 3speed in the console, one is a cane shift and the last is the automatic turbo400 trans all have the Buick dauntless V6, one with the GM electronic ignition upgrade. They have been sitting for awhile so are dirty, will pull them out one by one if no offers to look and get them cleaned up and running and price will go up and individually listed. Buy one buy all doesn’t matter just need to get them moved on. Have all three titles in hand!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Call For Price.

These look pretty rust free.

“Several project vehicles, ranging in price from $1100 to $2500. 1967 Jeep,1949 Ford,1970 Jeep, 1976 Ford 3/4 ton pickup, 1989 Ford 1 ton diesel, utility trailer, tilt deck trailer, and much more!”

This looks good.

“1968 Jeepster Commando 4 x 4 Convertible . Vin # 8705F1726240. Mileage reads 50,383 original miles. Powered by the original V6 engine. 3 speed manual transmission with 2 speed transfer case with locking hubs. Comes with a tow bar and is wired for towing (apparently spent a lot of time behind a motor home). Runs and drives good. Has been repainted sometime in the past and has flaking paint in spots. Remarkably rust free with only one very small spot on the drivers side. The top is removable, comes with back seat that was left out in the weather and the material has been damaged. This Jeepster feels like a good reliable driver.”

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.”

This could make an interesting project. Learn more about this model at Jalopnik.

“1971 Hurst Jeepster Commando
One of the Rarest Jeeps Made
Up for auction is my 1971 Hurst Jeepster Commando. I purchased this 5 years ago with plans to do a frame up restore, but unfortunately have not had the time to begin the restoration. My loss, your gain.

I have not attempted to start the motor, but the previous owner stated that it will run. I have no reason to think otherwise.

Vehicle has all emblems, special build tags, and Hurst options.
Shouldn’t take much to get it back on the road, or restore as an investment.
Not just a rare vehicle, but also in a rare unmolested state.”

UPDATE: Joe and his wife were told (more than once) this was listed at $1600 by the seller. However, according to the Craigslist ad it is $16,000. I’d say it is worth somewhere between the two prices.

Joe spotted this at the Kmart Kruse in last night in Phoenix. Looks like a really good price to me.

Joe writes, I told the seller all about eWillys and that I would be submitting these pics and some info… he liked that idea.  I don’t know much (or anything, really) about these, but I know I liked this one… and was surprised at the reasonable price.
