UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.

It’s a project.

“Its time to make some room for other projects, so my somewhat rare “Jeepster” has to go. Not many were made! These were only made for 3 years from 48′ to 50′ and are one of the rarer early Willy’s vehicles – don’t miss your chance to pick up a great example of this unique vehicle!
This project 1948 Willys Jeepster originally from southern California. Has the 134 cu in, 4 cylinder engine with 1barrel carb and 3-speed overdrive transmission all stock Jeepster. Body has all original paint and the interior has the seat frames and top bows. Car currently does not run, and needs a starter and fuel tank.

The good stuff:
This Jeepster is pretty much complete with all trim, but needs new glass (see pics)
Current tires will hold air for transport.
Rear “continental” spare tire mount all there (see pics)
Have original radio (currently out of vehicle)

Stuff that requires some TLC:
Has a few small rust through areas in the drivers/passengers floor, one small area near drivers rocker (see pics).
Retractable top is missing one latch
Missing glove box lock and has a damaged dash gauge assembly
Should be trailered, can’t be driven on trailer or car hauler.”

It looks like a good restoration project.

“1948 Willys Jeepster Overland for parts. The floor boards are severely rusted but it has a ton of useable and restorable parts. The drivetrain is complete. All of the frame work for the convertible top is still there. It isn’t really a builder quality chassis but I have seen worse starts to projects! It has NO TITLE. It spent well over 40 years inside a semi trailer. Sold complete only, AS-IS.”
