1948 Jeepster Hercules, CA **Status Unknown**

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

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $7500

(05/31/2014) It runs and drives, but needs some work.

THIS IS A TRUE 1948 WILLY’S-OVERLAND JEEPSTER. THIS VEHICLE HAS A ‘GO-DEVIL’ 4-CYLINDER ENGINE WITH A REBUILT CYLINDER-HEAD, A 3-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH OVERDRIVE AND A NEW CLUTCH. IT HAS A REBUILT STARTER. IT IS ALL THERE AND IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT NEEDS ‘TLC’. THE CANVAS TOP IS IN GOOD SHAPE. I HAVE THE ‘SIDE CURTAINS’ BUT THEY COULD STAND TO BE REDONE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO 12-VOLT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INDOORS ALL OF IT’S LIFE. WHEN I FOUND IT, IT WAS SITTING ON BLOCKS AND ENGINE WAS DISASSEMBLED. IT NOW RUNS AND DRIVES. I HAVE TOO MANY PROJECTS AND NEVER SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET BACK TO THIS ONE. THE HUSBAND SAY’S “IT’S TIME TO LET IT GO”, SO I’M GIVING SOMEONE ELSE THE OPPORTUNITY. IT IS CURRENTLY ‘NON-OPED’. YOU CAN VIEW HER ON SATURDAY, SUNDAY OR MONDAY’S IN SACRAMENTO. $7500.00 OR O.B.O. “

1942 MB? Silver City, NM $4000

• CATEGORIES: MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000

(02/12/2014) I think this is an MB/GPW with a gas inlet installed.

“It is a great project vehicle. It is a 1942 Willys Jeep, it runs and drives. Thought I wanted a project, but other things have taken a priority. I hate to get rid of it, but like I said other priorities. Serious inquiries only. Please either call or text me if interested”

UPDATE: This brochure sold on eBay.

I don’t know just how rare these brochures are, but this is currently priced at $93 and there’s already a bid! The vehicles were only built between 1952 and 1954, so I’m not sure there was a 1955 brochure?

Condition: good (4 out of 5, if 5 is mint new). Please notice, light miscolor on front is due to photo.

1950 CJ-3A (Dualmatic OD) Dallas, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, OD Other • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.

This hasn’t run in a while, but it does have both a rare dualmatic overdrive & an even rare sticker on the dash.

I am selling my 1950 Jeep CJ-3a, civilian model, with 52,000 miles. We are moving and it needs to be sold. It has not run in about 5 years, but my dad drove it pretty often before that. He said he needed to work on some part of the engine, but he didn’t think it was anything major. He never got around to it before he passed away. The body has a few spots of surface rust, but I went over the entire thing and there is no major rust anywhere. The body is in great shape. The seats are original and you can see that it’s been garage/barn kept for the past 20-30 years (at least). It belonged to my grandfather until his death in 1988. There is a cut-down soft top for it that covers the front seats, but it has been modified because the original top was in bad shape. I have some replacement parts that my dad collected over the years as well. I also have the title which is clear.”
