Vehicle Description
A 1949 Willys Jeepster is already quite distinctive. So when
attractive vintage looks meet a solid V8 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 details, like the bright bumpers with Willys Overland
stamped in the rear one. And this still carries the side steps for
easy rear seat access. But those outlaw-style wheels signal this
has also been upgraded. And the front end and hood trim have been
modified to look a bit cleaner and more modern while still staying
unmistakably Jeep. The yellow paint carries this vintage/upgraded
dual personality well. It's not out of place for a 1940s-1950s
machine, but it does have a hint of something bold, too.
The gray upper section of the paint flows nicely into the upgraded
gray cloth upholstery inside. Gray carpeting and gray accents on
the dash complete a package that looks good but is also never too
fancy to spent the day at the beach. And if your sunny day fun ever
turns wet, this one also comes with a nice folding top and full
side curtains. For the driver, you get a cool classic feeling from
the vintage Willys steering wheel. But the gauges in the center
have been upgraded from stock to a full AutoMeter setup. It's a
handy addition that gives you proper information about what's going
on under the hood.
There's no replacement for displacement, so you'll love to lift the
hood and see a Chevy small-block V8. This 350 cubic-inch is three
times the size of Lightning motors that were offered in '49. This
even has desirable upgrades, like an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor w/electric choke and an aluminum radiator w/electric
fan. It fires up nicely as the glasspack-style dual exhaust makes a
sweet but dignified tune. The three-speed automatic transmission,
light manual steering, and wide BF Goodrich T/As all come together
to make this a great cruising classic.
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
