Here’s a great video of a run at the 2012 Summer Convention held this year in Camas Valley, Oregon. There are a few more videos posted as well.
I purchased this small article about a Jeep Jamboree in 1957. The event was held on South Padre Island in the Gulf of Mexico off Texas. This two page spread has pictures and a bit of info on the action. As soon as I get my scanner working again, I’ll larger versions of this.
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
This is an unusual Jeepster. I wish the pics were larger.
“UP FOR AUCTION IS A VERY NICE ONE OF A KIND 1949 WILLYS JEEPSTER IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY NICE STREET ROD THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS THIS IS IT FROM THE CUSTOM PAINT TO THE CHEVROLET 350 DRIPPING IN CHROME. POWERD BY A NEW 350 MOTOR 350 TRANS MUSTANG TWO FRONT END POWER STEERING. THIS IS A ALL STEEL BODY WITH A REMOVIBLE HARD TOP WITH GLASS CAPPER ON THE BACK”
It’s not stock, but looks like a nice little rig.
” I am moving and need to down size my toys–I did a total frame off rebuild of this Jeep in 2004- Brakes,wheel bearings,all seals front and rear,new brake lines,new wheel bearings..everything was put back just like new-It has a 1985 Chevy 4.3 V6 with a 4 barrel carb- It has LOTS of power- The engine does smoke a little when you first start it up,but after it warms up its okay- Does not use any oil- Slips out of second gear on deacceleration(which is a common problem) I did not catch it when I rebuilt it,because it was not running when I got it– Paint is a little faded – No rust- good brakes- gauges all work- seats are good-still retains all of the Military hardware- Good top- Lots of fun to drive- 5 brand new Military NDT 7.00X16 Tires- Has a heater-What else can I say this is a one time deal you want find another one like it- It was titled as a 1947 Willys when I bought,but is is a 1942 Ford GPW- I have a clear Texas title- Give me a call @ 325-665-3495 for more info.”

Check out the 100 mile-per-hour speedometer. Is that aftermarket or from a different vehicle?
“WOW! Can you say classic that can take you anywhere you want to go! With 2 Superlow 4×4 gears and a 6000 pound WARN Winch, hit the trails and make heads turn! 3 Speed manual transmission with WARN Overdrive. This is no common off roading vehicle, this 1949 Willys can go in a car show Saturday, and on the trails Sunday!”

This looks like a good price. It might even run.
“I have a 49 jeep pickup thats been sitting in my yard for 8 years and i just need it gone.
Truck has not been started or moved in a year but should still run.
still has original bed that isnt rusted through . was an eastern washington truck its whole life untill it sat here for 8 years.
has willys flat 4 engine and manual 3 speed trans. 4×4 works”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5400
“Here is the story this Willys lived it first 62 years in Eastern Oregon. I bought it about one year ago for a hunting and pleasure rig. It was repainted about four years ago and had a pretty complete restoration at that time. Still has original Flathead 4cylinder, selectro hubs, 12volt system. rest of drivetrain is stock with 16″ wheels.
Since I have had rig I installed the Superlift 1″ soft ride springs, the later style shackles, superlift shocks, I had R&P 4X4 install updated CJ5 steering system and front 11″ Drum brakes.. This vehicle runs and drives awesome for being 63 years old.
Is this a perfect show quailty rig no. With that being said you would have to look long and hard to find a willys of this vintage in this kind of shape.
The only negative thing I can say is the original CJ2A Window was modified for single plate of glass, it works just not as nice as a cj3a window frame, also the wiper motor needs wired.
I have had several jeep and willys experts look at this rig and it does appear to be rust free. I’m selling only because I feel guilty about using a rig this nice for hunting and would hate to cause any damage to it ”
