Overview of 1949 Willys Jeepster Restomod For Sale by Owner

With a 6.2L LS3 V8 under the hood, automatic transmission, and just 265 miles since completion, it delivers classic looks with contemporary power and usability

Exterior and Interior

Finished in blue with a grey soft convertible top, this Jeepster maintains its distinctive proportions while gaining visual flair from aftermarket wheels and a rear-mounted spare tire. The restored bodywork highlights its postwar design roots, while dual exhaust outlets hint at the modern performance lurking beneath. Inside, the cabin is finished in grey and equipped with Dolphin digital gauges and an upgraded billet chrome tilt steering wheel, combining vintage inspiration with modern precision and style.

Engine

Replacing the original modest four-cylinder is a 6.2L naturally aspirated LS3 V8, delivering abundant power and reliability. Paired to an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, the setup ensures both ease of use and thrilling performance. The dual exhaust should provide a muscular soundtrack, making this Jeepster as exciting to drive as it is too admire.

$37,500

The 1950 Willys-Overland Jeepster captures a fascinating moment in postwar American motoring, blending Jeep-derived simplicity with the open-air style of a roadgoing convertible. Showing 75,749 miles, this example is finished in Yellow over a Black interior and is powered by a 161ci Lightning L-head inline-six paired with a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive and rear-wheel drive. Its tall chrome grille, split windshield, external spotlights, rear-mounted spare, and wide-open bodywork give it a look unlike almost anything else from the era. The column-shift manual and overdrive setup add to the vintage driving experience, while the black convertible top makes it equally suited to sunny cruises or more traditional touring. For an enthusiast looking beyond the usual postwar coupes and sedans, the Jeepster delivers personality in abundance.

This 1967 Jeep CJ-5 is the kind of early Jeep that reminds you why the CJ became such an enduring off-road icon in the first place.

The El Camino has always lived in its own lane—part muscle car, part pickup, and all attitude—and this 1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod leans hard into the performance side of that equation. Showing approximately 538 miles, it wears a custom Burgundy finish over a Black Procar interior and packs a 383ci stroker V8 backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic. This isn’t a lightly updated cruiser; the build reaches into the engine bay, suspension, braking system, cabin, and supporting hardware to give the first-year El Camino a much sharper, more modern personality while keeping the long-roofline-meets-pickup-bed silhouette that made these cars so memorable in the first place.

This 1964 Ford F-250 Custom Flatbed takes Ford’s classic heavy-duty pickup formula and gives it a distinctly custom personality. Showing approximately 468 miles, it combines a two-tone Mint Green and Dark Green presentation with a custom flatbed conversion, wood stake-side bed, dual rear wheels, and a 390ci V8. Power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, air conditioning, power windows, and a Bluetooth-equipped RetroSound system make it far more accommodating than its vintage work-truck roots would suggest, while the custom detailing throughout gives this F-250 plenty of show-truck character.
