Willys Jeepster (1950)
for sale

Price: US $2,425.00

Description:

1950 Willys Jeepster, registered, insured and fully drivable. No leaks, a little oil gets past the guides but motor runs pretty well. Some tappet noise can be heard after warming up. Trans and overdrive work fine, brakes are great. Overdrive is engaged by switching a toggle switch on the dash (the relay does not work). This system does work great. Shifter has some slop to it and takes a little getting used to. Probably should have some replacement parts installed. It always has worked fine for me. Has quiet exhaust system and steers/handles well. Gauges, lights, turn signals work fine. Speedometer is starting to act up , spins wildly. Tires are fair, one bald.
From a distance body and paint look great, however, up close you can see some amateur body work and paint as well as sanding scratches and ripples. In all, fine for a driver but definitely not concourse! Body is solid, no rot. Frame and underside are very solid with no rot out. Front seats are pretty nice. Back seat is missing but the rear, back seat frame is there. Top, while serviceable, shows wear, has a small hole, is starting to gap at the rear. Window is fine.
I have all four side curtains (two years old). Also included is a repair manual and tune up parts
In the past 2000-2500 miles, the following were done:
new clutch, pressure plate, bearing
completely overhauled brake system - hoses, lines, wheel and master cylinder
new gas tank and gas line
new fuel pump
new shock absorbers (4)
new king pins
Jeepster has been well maintained: oil changes, trans and rear end flush and fill, anti freeze-radiator flush, tune ups. Car has always been garaged as long as I have owned it (6 years).
The buyer is welcome to any or all of these extra parts for free:
Motor (good bottom end, pistons stuck) brake drums, manifold, carburetor, flywheel brake backing plates (complete) steering column, rear end, top bows.
I have a current RI registration card for the car, not a title. This is usually enough for most states but check with yours. Very reasonable reserve for this fun car. $500 deposit due within 24 hours of auction end. Balance due within seven days. Buyer must make all arrangements and assume all financial responsibility for pick up.
