This 1949 Willys-Overland Jeepster was reportedly refurbished under prior ownership circa 2018 by Jeepster Jim of Florida and acquired by the owner in 2020. Power is provided by a Lightning 6 straight-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive and the truck is finished in two-tone turquoise and black over black leather upholstery. Equipment includes a black convertible top, a bright T-shaped grille bar, an aluminum radiator, 15″ steel wheels with polished hubcaps, front bumper guards, and a split front bench seat. This Jeepster is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean Florida title.
The truck was repainted in two-tone turquoise and black under prior ownership. Details include a black convertible top, a bright T-shaped grille bar, front bumper guards, a split front windshield, wrap-around chrome trim, and dual tail lights.
Turquoise 15″ steel wheels feature polished hubcaps and are mounted with Coker Classic whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by drum brakes at all four corners, and a spare tire is mounted at the rear. The truck was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension as well as semi-elliptic rubber-mounted transverse front and conventional rear leaf springs.
The cabin features a split front bench seat upholstered in black leather upholstery. Amenities include a body-color metal dashboard, a lockable glove compartment, and sun visors.
The ivory two-spoke steering wheel features a bright horn ring and fronts a centrally mounted instrument panel housing an 80-mph speedometer as well as gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 3,300 miles, approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The Lightning 6 straight-six was installed during the refurbishment and features a single downdraft carburetor and an aluminum radiator.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
