| # Jeepster | ||
|
|
||
| This is a 1948 Jeepster, serial number: 463-77220, in Davis, CA. | ||
|
|
||
| This car belonged to my wife thoughout high-school in the 80’s, (It still has | ||
| her HS [Parking Sticker](parking_sticker.jpg)) When she went to college it was given to a family friend | ||
| who put it in their garage and forgot about it. 30 years later, they reached | ||
| out,and gave it back to us. We’ve done pretty much the same for the last ten | ||
| years as well, but we have made enough repairs to get it up and running around | ||
| the town. | ||
|
|
||
| The original color was fire engine red, but it’s been painted at least twice | ||
| since then. In some of the pictures, it looks patinaed, but really it’s more of | ||
| a copper color paint that hasn’t been renewed. | ||
|
|
||
| [Repairs / Replacements](repairs) | ||
|
|
||
| We don’t have any real skills in refurbishing cars, so we pretty much tried to follow | ||
| the hypocratic oath of “First, do no harm”. Most of the repairs we did work on | ||
| were to get the car able to run around our little town. | ||
|
|
||
| Here is a list of the items we worked on. | ||

| ## Informational | ||
|
|
||
| The 1948 Jeepster, known internally as the VJ-2) and as the VJ-673 in the | ||
| mechanic’s manual. Our jeepster has the original 4 cylinder “Go-Devil” L-134 | ||
| engine. Ours has no oil filter, which was optional. | ||
|
|
||
| When we took ownership, it didn’t have a title, but we had enough proof of | ||
| ownership that we received a provisional title, which is now valid. | ||
