What’s special about this listing

This 1950 Willys-Overland Jeepster was previously modified with a 198ci Buick Fireball V6, which is backed by a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and it has been refinished in yellow and black over black vinyl and tan cloth upholstery. Equipment includes a black convertible top, a top boot, 15″ steel wheels with polished hubcaps, a V-shaped eggcrate grille, a cabin heater, and a split front bench seat. This Jeepster was acquired by the selling dealer in 2025 and is now offered in Wichita, Kansas, at no reserve with a clean Arkansas title.

The truck was previously refinished in yellow and black and features a black convertible top, a soft top boot, a V-shaped eggcrate grille, a split front windshield, wrap-around chrome trim, driving lights, turn signals, dual exhaust outlets, and dual tail lights.

Body-color 15″ steel wheels feature polished hubcaps and trim rings and are mounted with 6.70-series Allstate faded whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by drum brakes at all four corners, and a spare tire is mounted at the rear. The truck was factory equipped with an independent front suspension as well as semi-elliptic rubber-mounted transverse front and conventional rear leaf springs.

The cabin features a split front bench seat upholstered in black vinyl and tan cloth that extends to the rear bench. Amenities include a body-color metal dashboard, a lockable glove compartment, a heater, and sun visors.

The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a centrally mounted instrument panel housing a 110-mph speedometer as well as gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 51k miles. Total mileage is unknown.

The 198ci Buick Fireball V6 was previously installed and sends power to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The electrical system has been converted to operate on 12 volts.
