Vehicle Description
Holy Toledo! This Willys-Overland Jeepster Sports Phaeton has been
in the same family for the last 59 years. The truck has been
completely frame off restored 9 years ago by Rod Gamache of
CoachCraft, and today remains stunning. This Jeepster is restored
to stock spec. The body was completely stripped, primed and painted
in very attractive, Inferno Red, with Black accents. The chrome has
all been re-plated, new convertible top with new boot. The interior
is completely restored as well and features split bench seat,
original steering wheel and gauge cluster, new upholstery on all
areas and carpeted floors. The engine was rebuilt by the capable
hands of Thirlby's, of Traverse City, MI. Mechanically, this
Jeepster is spot on, the flat head four cylinder engine starts
right up with a very cool exhaust note, the 3 speed on the column
transmission shifts flawlessly and the overdrive engages for better
cruising. In short, this is one of the best Jeepsters ever to grace
the floor at GR Auto Gallery and is a quality piece to enjoy.
The truck comes complete with years of service records, restoration
receipts, club new letters, notes, etc.
