Vehicle Description
We could tell you that this 1954 Willys Utility Wagon is a full
custom build, but you already knew that from the moment you laid
eyes on it. But more than just a sleek street machine style, this
one has upgraded V8 power, a well-done suspension, and a loaded A/C
interior with a cool/custom vibe. It makes for the kind of build
that's great for driving, showing, and all-around enjoyment.
We love a custom Willys because they have so much to offer. The
grille instantly makes us think of the iconic Jeeps, and there are
sturdy lines that make them imposing. So they are the perfect base
for a street machine kind of upgrade. They chopped five inches out
of the roofline, gave you long/smooth side glass, and let the
15-inch Boyds wheels show off the intimidating forward-leaning
stance. The hot rod matte black fits the custom attitude nicely,
and the wood-like vinyl details are pure classic Willys fun. Some
of the upgrades are a bit more subtle, like the smoothed/sealer
rear that allows for the LED taillights, and the full vinyl roof
that gives this a cool double-black style. And you can tell someone
who really loves these Willys did the work because the iconic open
front fenders were artfully extended to create full running boards
and the rear fender flares. The whole package looks good because
there's less than 250 miles on the total build.
When you pop the remote door openers, it shows off the full custom
interior. The door panels, dash, and rear benches have a cool look
of wood, and the real rope accents give this a true surf wagon
vibe. Not only does this look cool, but you also have the right
features for a comfortable cruiser, like power windows, a center
console, tinted windows, and cold-blowing air conditioning. And
this one wants to be a solid driver, too, so you have front bucket
seats, a sports steering wheel on a polished tilt column, a
three-speed automatic transmission, and a full Dolphin gauge
package.
With this much street machine style, you know you need a proper
powerhouse. That's why this has been upgraded to Ford's hardy 351
cubic-inch V8. The tidy motor inhales deeply with an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with added power and
authority as long tube headers feed into the dual exhaust and
Flowmaster mufflers. As you look underneath, you'll spot the right
details, like a Fat Man tubular A-arm front end, rack & pinion
steering, power brakes with front discs, and air shocks in the
rear.
A Willys is always going to be distinct, but this is a true
one-of-a-kind. So don't miss this awesome build, call today!
