Vehicle Description
Stop for a moment to realize what you are looking at. This is a
unique 1925 Willys-Overland 90 body with a performance-built V8,
fully independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a
custom/comfy interior. So this is one of the most distinct and
sharp customs around, and it's available right now for quite an
obtainable price.
When you see a hot rod Willys, it's usually a replica and a version
of the 1940s cars. So to have a real Willys-Overland 90 body built
for performance is always going to charm enthusiasts wherever it
goes. More than just a unique nameplate, this one is going to
attract attention because of its quality construction. The tan and
brown two-tone is a great period-correct color combo that has been
nicely applied to interweave across the whole body. And the
metallic tone in the brown is an instant reminder that this is
something quite special. In fact, this classic and modern mix is
seen throughout the body. Vintage elements like the tall upright
design, windshield overhang, running board step plates, and rear
wardrobe trunk are now combined with a hot rod style stance thanks
to Halibrand-style wheels and big rear tires. It all creates a
unique street machine with a memorable presence.
The interior utilizes classic colors and patterns but provides more
modern comfort. The seating takes advantage of the sedan's large
interior to reconfigure a spacious atmosphere for two rows. The
pattern on the tan cloth seats is reminiscent of some of the
broadcloth available in the 1920s, and it looks great as it
coordinates with the door panels and carpeting. Plus, you get nice
modern features like power windows and an AM/FM/CD stereo with aux
input for the most modern music players. The driver gets to remain
comfortable thanks to the front bucket seats, a tilt steering
column, a Lecarra steering wheel, and a cool duck head floor
shifter. Plus, the full modern VDO gauge package and large Summit
column-mounted tach are a great reminder that there's something
special on the other side of the windshield.
A motor this nice deserves to be on display for the world to see.
This 327 cubic-inch V8 has plenty of high-polish pieces, like the
air grabber, alternator, compressor, valve covers, and newer Billet
accessory pulleys. And those smooth ram's horn exhaust manifolds
look like they belong to a brass instrument. But more than just
flash, this one also has the right substance. The V8 is upgraded
with Brodix aluminum heads, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, MSD
Blaster coil, MSD distributor, and topped with an Edelbrock AVS2
four-barrel carburetor. It's a powerful package that makes a nice
tune out of the newer Flowmaster mufflers. And don't forget to
check out the updated dual exhaust in the undercarriage photos. Not
only will you spot a custom frame, but also the suspension is done
right with four-wheel disc brakes, transverse leaf spring
independent front end, and a Jaguar independent rear end with a
dual set of adjustable coilovers. The Jag rear has inboard disc
brakes, which is one of the most desirable setups for the
four-wheel disc brakes.
This is the kind of thoughtful build you never expected, and now
that you know about it, you'll never forget this Willys. Call
