“Selling my 1968 Jeepster C-101 Commando. It was Jeep’s version of the Ford Bronco and IH Scout. It has a SOLID frame, I just painted the whole thing. Has a nice big front brushguard with D ring hooks too. Front and rear ends are good, both Dana’s with 5 bolt hubs. Front hub lockers (Warn I think), new rear leaf spring packs, and solid front ones.

It has a BUILT Dauntless 225 V-6 (Factory motor). This motor has been completely gone through! New connecting rods, Isky Cams and Cranks, Isky lifters and valves, EVERY gasket has been replaced, and I also have all the extras. New distributor cap, newer plug wires, new spark plugs, a new water pump, new alternator, and most of the hardware has been replaced with grade 8. It will need an alternator bracket and radiator.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.

It doesn’t run.

“1949 Willys Overland Jeepster. Vehicle has a Ford 200 6 cyl that does not run, everything else is all original. Very little rust in the lower rear quarter panel. Otherwise very solid body. I have the top bows.”

Reminds me of a pink surrey.

“I have a nice little restoration project for sale, Its a convertible and no holes in the body just minor surface rust. I do have some parts for the restoration. It has a new chevrolet motor and tranny never been started in it. Great project for the right collector or family ??”

UPDATE: Was $850. **SOLD**

Might be some parts value here.

“This is a 1951 Willys Overland Jeepster. I bought it to turn into a hot rod, but ran into another that was partially built, so this one became a parts rig. It has no floor and no steering column. I have most of the trim for this as well as the windshield, seats (most) and the top. These are known for their very solid frames which have a LARGE X brace in the middle, so you can add your horsepower with little worry. For an extra $300 I’ll throw in an AMC Pacer front suspension I was gong to install. It’s a nearly perfect fit and gives you independent front suspension, power rack and pinion steering and disc brakes, much better than the original transverse left spring setup. The only thing I’ll need to keep for my own project is the back seat frame. I have another, but this one is nicer. Good Ohio title in hand.”

Merlin has the Jeepster for sale. He’s done some work on it, so feel free to contact him with questions.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

This might make a good restoraiton.

“This was the last true touring car made in the United States. None of the Willys Jeepsters were made in four wheel drive. The body is straight, and ran as recently as six years ago. No body parts are missing. Little or no rust. V6 Buick engine. Needs new brake lines before it can be driven. Kept in heated garage. Ugly oxidized pink paint with matching tuck&roll. Makes everybody smile even unrestored. Firm on price. ”

Glenn forwarded this nice looking Commando. That’s an interesting front bumper. Needs a little work.

This could make an interesting project. Learn more about this model at Jalopnik.

“1971 Hurst Jeepster Commando
One of the Rarest Jeeps Made
Up for auction is my 1971 Hurst Jeepster Commando. I purchased this 5 years ago with plans to do a frame up restore, but unfortunately have not had the time to begin the restoration. My loss, your gain.

I have not attempted to start the motor, but the previous owner stated that it will run. I have no reason to think otherwise.

Vehicle has all emblems, special build tags, and Hurst options.
Shouldn’t take much to get it back on the road, or restore as an investment.
Not just a rare vehicle, but also in a rare unmolested state.”

UPDATE: Joe and his wife were told (more than once) this was listed at $1600 by the seller. However, according to the Craigslist ad it is $16,000. I’d say it is worth somewhere between the two prices.

Joe spotted this at the Kmart Kruse in last night in Phoenix. Looks like a really good price to me.

Joe writes, I told the seller all about eWillys and that I would be submitting these pics and some info… he liked that idea.  I don’t know much (or anything, really) about these, but I know I liked this one… and was surprised at the reasonable price.
