I just picked up this 1948 VJ-2 Jeepster.
I couldn't pass it up! It runs and the brakes work, but needs a new top. It's a little rough around the edges, but it's an excellent starting point. I'm not sure if I actually want to go through the whole thing yet as I have a lot of other projects in the fire right now so I may be unloading it to keep my wife happy! (unless I work really hard at convincing her) I also have a buddy that is interested in doing the restoration work for half ownership. Anyway, it is a pretty cool vehicle! Jerry |

Jerry,
Very nice find!!!
You need to convince the Mrs., that this could be her grocery getter after it looks like this:
This one belongs to the young lady with the pink ball cap sitting on the driver side. I believe her father owned a Willys Dealership and this was purchased for her mother.

Had it for two year, then I realized I wasn't gonna get to it and my house needed a new roof. It's living in Maryland now and I hope it's been restored! Thanks for asking!
PS: It did pay for a new roof! |

Wow! Who doesn't love a Jeepster? My wife told me that she wants me to collect at least one of each model of vintage Jeeps! I have a lot of work to do...
