Willys Jeep-Style 2005 Yamaha Raptor 50 at No Reserve

This WWII-style Jeep ATV was constructed during the past year by the seller using a Jeep-style steel body mounted atop the frame and running gear of a 2005 Yamaha Raptor 50 ATV. Work included modifying the body and frame, fitting a forward-mounted fuel tank, installing a black seat, and fabricating a custom canopy with tan fabric. Power is provided by a Yamaha 49cc SOHC 4-stroke single linked to an automatic transmission and shaft drive. The independent double-wishbone front suspension, swingarm, rear-mounted monoshock, drum brakes, and electric starter were retained from the Raptor. The body is finished in green with white stars, and additional features include a folding windscreen, grab bars, and side steps. This Willys Jeep-style ATV is now offered at no reserve in Jacksonville, Oregon, on a bill of sale.

The seller purchased the steel Jeep-style body shell approximately a year ago and subsequently modified it to fit the Raptor’s frame. The work included altering the cockpit floor, fitting a fuel tank under the hood, and constructing a custom canopy with tan fabric. The body was then refinished in green with white-painted military stars. Equipment includes a folding windscreen frame, grab bars, side steps, headlight cut-outs, and a grille.

The 7″ steel wheels are wrapped in Sunf Power 18×7 ATV tires. Stopping power is provided by dual front drum brakes and a single rear drum brake. The ATV rides on an independent double-wishbone front suspension and a swingarm with a monoshock at the rear.

The silver handlebar was retained and features black grips, electric-start controls, a hand-operated throttle lever, and front and rear brake levers. A floor-mounted lever on the left side of the footwell selects Drive or Neutral. The painted dash houses an ignition switch and a digital gear-selector display. The seller notes that a safety kill-switch tether assembly is included.

The cockpit features a single seat trimmed in black vinyl along with rubber floor mats.

The air-cooled 49cc single-cylinder SOHC 4-stroke sends power to the rear wheels via a shaft drive and an automatic transmission. Recent work included replacing the engine oil and filter and replacing the spark plug.
