1 of 15
Vehicle Description This 1949 Willys Jeepster is truly a one-of-a-kind custom that will make heads turn as you drive along the boulevard or down to the beach! This Jeepster received a body off resto-modification between 1995 and 1997, with no expense spared.
Photos and extensive documentation outline the work that was completed during that time.
A Chevy 283 V8 Small Block with an automatic Turbo 350 transmission now replace the original 134 CID Go Devil engine and three speed transmission.
Power is sent to a Chevy 8.
8 differential while an updated Camaro front suspension kit along with power steering improve the handling.
The frame was properly reinforced to handle the new drivetrain and suspension components.
Keeping safety in mind, boosted disc brakes were added to all four corners of the car along with seat belts for the driver and every passenger.
Creature comforts include and upgraded CD player, sound system and even an A/C system! It was upholstered in dark green with carpets to match.
The exterior was finished in a two-tone combination of Brookland Green and Black with much of the chrome replaited or replaced.
A recent service to the fluids and brake system, along with brand new Toyo Open Country tires, have this Jeepster ready for some summer fun! Keeping with the traditional appearance of a 49 Willys, this Jeepster provides modern amenities that make for a much nicer drive and more importantly, a safer vehicle.
The car comes to us from a long-term client where it has spent the past 10 years on Martha's Vineyard.
The restoration is beginning to show its age and a few cosmetic blemishes are evident along with a nonfunctional top.
These small issues could easily be dealt with in the off-season after enjoying the car all summer.
This vehicle is fitting for anyone looking for a fun summer beach cruiser for friends and family that has been tastefully modified to improve performance, reliability and safety.
The vehicle is offered with receipts, documentation, photos and an owners manual.
