About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Body-on restored. Good older paint with a scrape on the A-pillar, a few touch ups on the driver's door, and chips around some panel edges. Clean wheels and underbody. Good, lightly worn interior with newer seats and steering wheel but original gauges and switchgear. A charming, casual beach cruiser.

Market commentary

A basic, driver-quality example bought for driver-quality money. These two-wheel drive Jeepsters are oddballs. They're not quite trucks, nor do they have much of the utility of a "real" Jeep. But they're not as fun to drive as most vintage convertibles and they're too slow to do much other than putter about town. That's enough for many people, though, and Jeepsters have stayed somewhat low-priced even as values for other Jeeps have soared. This one sold for $17,600 here in 2014, $34,560 at Mecum Seattle five months later and $30,800 back here in Scottsdale in 2018, so this price looks like a solid value.
