Why This Car Is Special
The Willys Jeepster was originally produced by Willys-Overland
Motors from 1948 to 1950 and was last phaeton body produced by a
major automaker!
We have a great custom 1948 Willys Jeepster Roadster here at Skyway
Classics that has been upgraded to a Small Block Chevy V-8
engine.
Mechanical
The rare post-war era collectable originally had a flathead 4
cylinder engine that pushed out roughly 63 horsepower, ours takes a
big performance leap and has a later model small block Chevy engine
with an open element chrome air cleaner, yellow body colored valve
covers, tube headers flowing into a dual exhaust system,
performance carb, in-line fuel filter, and more.
It is backed by a GM 700R4 automatic transmission as well as power
steering and brakes, and the engine sits in a clean and detailed
compartment.
The Jeepster rides great as it has a Mustang II front end
suspension kit, a Jaguar rear end independent suspension, and has
5-spoke aluminum custom mag wheels with with new Radial black-wall
performance tires.
Interior
Our Willys has a complete custom Yellow/Black Bucket Seat Vinyl
Interior, matching door panels, with Console/cup holders and
matching rear Bench Seat and is loaded with options like a Sony
Premium Sound Stereo/CD, Tilt Wood Steering Wheel, yellow and black
floor mats, middle armrest, and a working black convertible
soft-top in great condition as well.
Exterior
The body work on this 1948 is all steel and has been completely
redone in a shade of factory correct Fiesta Yellow paint and all
the body panels look tight and the chrome trim and bumpers have
great chrome. This Jeepster looks better than new.
Conclusion
These Willys are are extremely rare and this custom 1948 Willys
Jeepster Roadster we have here at Skyway Classics is more reliable
with a powerful V8 motor and virtually indestructible transmission
with a suspension that is more modern and sophisticated, it is a
dream to own and drive.
This Top-Down Sporty Willys with a V8 needs to be added to your
collection!
