1949-jeepster-firetruck4Steve Elkins reports the following:

In case you’re wondering what happened to that cute little Jeepster Firetruck some of us have been following on eWillys, it will soon be used as a vineyard tour Jeep at the Gandona Winery in California’s Napa Valley.  After two little mechanical problems on the tow vehicle extending the 1100 mile adventure by two days, I was finally successful in transporting the red Jeepster from Southern California to the Wine Country, Northeast of San Francisco.  

The seller had a change of plans and had to let go of the red Jeepster.  The buyer is new to the Willys experience and is really excited about his new purchase.  A new steering wheel, and re-chroming the front bumper is the first order of work to spiffy-up the 65 year old chariot, re-powered with a second generation Buick 231 c.i. V6 and automatic trans. 

After seeing this on eWillys, I enjoyed connecting the seller and the buyer.  And I made a new Jeepster connection with the seller.  He has a nice ’50 Jeepster, daily driver with a rare optional L6-148.  We might just see him at the Willys America Open House on July 19, 2014.

“Survivor – except original engine/transmission…and everything under the hood lost! Original seats (black) in good condition, smooth, comfortable, no tears, no bumps. Side curtains are clear and in good condition. Top in good condition, too – one snap missing, IIRC. Boot cover in good shape. Rear, plastic window clear and in good condition, as the pictures show. Ran great for fifteen years; not so good after my mechanic lost the engine and stuff.

1948 Jeepster Ocala, FL **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: Was on eBay. Reserve started at $4650.

“1948 Willys Jeepster, sold as is , for restoration and or daily driver , was on storage without use for some years, bought for restoration upon impulse as I always wanted a jeepster but now I realized I still have three more projects ( 72 vette, 74 TR6 and a 1928 ford street rod) which I should complete before attempting a new project so need to make the space in the garage The jeepster has rust on doors and frame, put a new fuel pump and the engine starts and runs , will need carburator cleaning and refreshing see video on Youtube: Jeepster 1948 Ocala to hear the engine run,noticed that shifter lever got stuck and was easily released by moving the levers that go from the steering column to the transmission so some adjustment may be needed and or bushing . Jeepster is ideal for restoration and or use as driver as is a complete car with all its components, running engine, transmission, rear end , complete body, bumpers ,lights, rims , trim, side curtains and top,. front and rear seats are in good condition as well as the door panels. only visible dent I found is in the front apron behind the front bumper as you can see on photo . If want to use as driver, since car has been out of the road some years ,although it starts trasmission engages and brakes work , it will need complete mechanical inspection refreshing to assure safe use on the road to include but not limited to brakes, suspension, shocks, tires,steering components etc. therefore Jeepster will need to be trailered to its new location.”
