Vehicle Description
A 1949 Willys Jeepster is already quite distinctive. So when
attractive vintage looks meet a solid V6 upgrade - and it's all
offered at an affordable price - then you already know this is a
sweet deal.
This one has a nice mix of vintage and upgrades. There are the
right classic pieces, like the hood trim and bright bumpers (with
Willys Overland stamped in the rear one.) And well especially like
details, like the side steps for easy rear seat access. But those
Cragar SS wheels signal there's more going on here than stock. The
paint yellow carries this dual personality well. It's not out of
place for a 1940s-1950s machine, but it does have a hint of the
bold. Plus, the black upper section is a timeless contrast, and it
also coordinates with the full folding roof and side curtain
package.
For the same reason why we like the look of the black roof against
the yellow exterior is why the full black interior is so
attractive. Both rows of seating are complete, clean, comfy, and
finished in a durable vinyl. So it makes for a fine beach day kind
of car that looks good open to the world. And while you have a very
stock-style setup, there are some handy additions, like a grippy
sports steering wheel.
Open the hood, and this Jeepster immediately tells its biggest
secret. The most powerful motor that came from the factory was
2.2-liter four-cylinder, but this one houses a 3.8-liter Chevy V6.
More than just added displacement, this also has an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock Performer intake. There are
even nice supporting components, like an aluminum radiator
w/electric fan and a separate transmission cooler. So you can
really tell this one was built to run strong in modern traffic. In
fact, it's a much improved cruiser thanks to the three-speed
automatic transmission, dual-circuit power brakes, and modern BF
Goodrich T/As with excellent tread.
So what you're looking at is a Jeepster that has all the classic
appeal you want on the outside, but added power and driver comfort
under the skin. That makes for an awesome affordable deal. Call
