I like this drag jeep.

“This is a super cool sand drag or pro-street JEEP. It is registered as a 1954 Willys. It was built in the early 90s and stored inside. It is powered by a BBC 454 with 350 transmission and a 9″ rearend. Please look at the photobucket link before asking questions. There are a lot of photos on the link.”

1949 Jeepster Longview, WA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3495

(01/23/2012) This project appears to have potential.

“THIS IS NOT A RUNNING VEHICLE. I have a project that I recently purchased that is just not a good fit for me or my garage right now. It is a 1949 2 Wheel Drive Jeepster by Willy’s. I bought a few months ago after it had sat in dry storage for a number of years. It looks like a mid 80’s restoration to me. The body is in remarkable condition and the vehicles is for the most part 100% complete (I threw away the top). It was originally a Butternut yellow color. The current paint is passable as driver quality. The running gear is a 1973 Buick 350 and matching bop transmission, the original rearend is still in the vehicle.There is a nice Ron Franicis wiring harness installed complete. The engine is out on a stand and needs rebuilt or go the SBC route. I curently have the front sheetmetal off and stored, there is no radiator. All of that said this a really fun vehicle that would be great with a little work as a driver or do a complete restoration. I am not selling because I need the money and the price is reasonalbly firm. I am however very open to trades which might include: 68-72 Nova, second gen camaro or other muscle cars,”

6000 Miles: From Maine to Hawaii with Love (For Jeepsters)

Glenn wrote this nice story which was published in the June 2010 issue of Jeepster News.

EAST MEETS WEST – 6000 MILE JEEPSTER EVENT By Glenn Byron

Sometimes we take for granted the many benefits our membership in WOJC [Willys Overland Jeepster Club] pro- vides. For example, that booklet you received titled “ WOJC 2010 ROSTER” is just something that arrives. Larry & Shirley Wozniak volunteered a bunch of time and effort to get this quality product to club members. Using it as a tool is a bonus for paying our meager dues. Let’s look at where this can take us. Recently, in planning for a cruise to visit our 50th state, Hawaii, I noticed a scheduled one day port call in Honolulu.

Just for kicks, I grabbed that Roster to see if we had members there. Garage tours and visits with other enthusiasts are always great sidelines to get away from usual tourist activities. Sure enough, all of Hawaii has one lonely WOJC member, Randy Spangler, right there in Honolulu. A quick email to Randy to intro- duce myself and inform him of my visit, yielded a friendly response with encourage- ment to see what we could put together. Nothing concrete, just loose parameters to keep both of us available as all the unknowns could allow. Our first port was Hilo, on the big island of Hawaii, with Honolulu, on Oahu, the following day. “Call me from Hilo and we’ll see what the cards hold” was Randy’s invitation. Here’s how it came down.


ABOVE: Randy Spangler’s Island Cruiser, a ’50 Willys Jeepster mounted on a Chevy Blazer chassis- A great performing unit for Boulevard or Beach. 

Three couples on a cruise ship make too large a load for a Willys Jeepster, so careful strategy had to happen to be sure no one felt compromised. The girls were anxious to see Waikiki Beach, and with great personal sacrifice, I crossed that off my list. The other two guys, though not car oriented, agreed to back seat status and a full load resulted. Contact with Randy was made from Hilo and plans laid down for Willys Jeepster to meet Golden Princess at the dock in Honolulu. How’s that for a welcoming committee? Heads turn when ever we put our Jeepsters on display, but this may be a first! Randy’s 1950 Jeepster is especially suited to the hustle and bustle of Oahu gridlock traffic.
