Vehicle Description
What's better than getting your hands on a cool classic that's fun
and easy to live with? Getting your hands on a cool and equally
interesting classic that's sure to be unlike anything you'll ever
see at a monthly Cars & Coffee gathering! A unique collectable for
gearheads who desire substance over performance, this 1947 Willys
combines go anywhere spirit with all-American valor. Looking for a
sentimental ride that'll fascinate and delight? Here's a robust
roller for every General Purpose!
While its basic DNA is certainly appealing, first rate detailing is
what makes this Jeep really pop. Originally a well-kept civilian
CJ2A, the truck was lovingly rebuilt during a thorough, frame-up
restoration that included traditional Olive Drab paint and
patriotic callouts. Under that pigment, a straight fuselage
features retro panels that fit well and look good. A cloth roof
activates to reveal a decommissioned .50 caliber machine gun. Up
front, a thick tow rope ensures mud doesn't turn into capture, and
out back a vintage Pintle Hook capacitates a small trailer. Basic
tools are present and accounted for, with a short shovel and
body-matched ax leading a large Jerry Can. And cool details include
a small mirror, a tied antenna and a USA Approved Blackout Head
Lamp.
Hoist the hood and you'll find 134 cubic inches of proven Willys
Hurricane that, in 2013, was professionally rebuilt by Army Jeep
Parts Inc. of Levittown, Pennsylvania. Power flows through a
freshened Borg-Warner T90 3-speed, which spins a Dana 18 transfer
case that's linked to Dana 25 front axle and a Dana 41 rear axle.
That drivetrain hangs in a rugged leaf spring suspension, which
stretches old school manual steering between big drum brakes. And
at the corners of the floor, study steel wheels twist reliable IH
hubs inside 6.00-16LT McCreary Non Directional Tires.
When you're talking about trucks from the World War II era, you're
essentially talking about combining the best elements of battle and
utility. Between this Jeep's deleted doors, there's enough room for
up to four troops on simple cloth seats. In front of those thrones,
an Olive Drab dash hangs Kaiser Willys-branded telemetry between
prop grenades, a decommissioned rifle and a vintage fire
extinguisher. There's an antique radio that nicely complements the
truck's big antenna. And the driver rules the road through a simple
Olive Drab steering wheel that laps a small first aid kit.
Mixing unique character with all-American swagger, this Willys is
one super cool classic! And when it comes to the driving
experience, it's about as much fun as you can have on four wheels!
