Wow, this is one beautiful Jeepster but “priced to sell” at $50,000 for a starting bid? Good luck with the sale but my wallet is way too thin for this deal.
Our Princess Cruse Lines boat was met in Oahu, Hawaii by a similar 4WD modified Jeepster on a Blazer chassis. We spent a wonderful day all over that beautiful island with the owner, a movie / TV background source for about any shot you’ve seen from the islands. He certainly didn’t have 80 grand in it, but whether on beach or boulevard, it performed nicely.
