Name: 1950 Willys-Overland Jeepster
Brand: Willys
SKU: 2659554
Price: 30000.00 USD
Availability: InStock

a highly authentic 1950 Willys-Overland Jeepster, factory-equipped with the rare L161 "Lightning Six" flathead 6-cylinder engine.



While the 4-cylinder "Go-Devil" models are common, Willys manufactured only 5,845 total Jeepsters for 1950and only 1,799 left the
factory with this upgraded 6-cylinder powerplant.



 The Story Behind the Jeepster

This vehicle has been the centerpiece of our family across three generations. It originally belonged to my grandfather, who kept
it safely stored in his basement garage. As a child, it was my favorite place to play and imagine. Years later, my father took on
the labor of love to fully restore the vehicle before handing it down to me.



Today, my dad is 100 years old, living happily in assisted living, and doing incredibly well. Because the younger generation in
our family does not have the space or alignment to care for the Jeepster, my goal is to place it with a collector who will truly
honor its history.



Mechanical, Structural & Preservation Highlights



To keep the vehicle authentic but safely drivable, we have maintained a strict balance of preservation and practical updates:

The Engine & Transmission: Original 161 cubic-inch L-head inline-6 running smoothly on its period-correct 6-volt electrical
system. Features the factory Borg-Warner T-96 3-speed manual transmission with a functioning factory overdrive unit.

The Curtains & Top: Includes the highly coveted, original factory side curtains. The canvas top material has been replaced for
preservation, utilizing the original folding frame.

Interior Details: The interior side panels are clean but non-original.

Updates & Current Imperfections: Features a safely updated replacement fuel tank. Please note the factory gas gauge is currently
inoperable. The factory radio retains its original exterior facing and knobs to protect the dash aesthetics, but the internal
components were rebuilt with modern solid-state electronics for functional reliability.
