Classic Car Addict is excited to present "Time Traveler" the
all-steel custom rat rod 1961 Willys Jeep Station Wagon for sale in
our Mesa, Arizona showroom. You won't find ANYTHING like this!
The Willy's Jeep Station Wagon were produced by Willys and Kaiser
Jeep in the US from 1946-1964. They were the first mass-market
all-steel station wagons and designed and built as a passenger
vehicle. The steel body was efficient to mass-produce, easier to
maintain and safer than the real wood-bodied station wagon versions
at the time.
This has a fully custom interior. The vehicle was completely gutted
and redone. The doors feature some unique Nautical inserts with
custom door handles made from gear sprockets. The windows are
plexiglass and are all removable. The steering wheel is also custom
made from a flywheel and flex plate. It features two custom
shifters; a wrench operates the hood louver while the other wrench
operates the transmission. Just in front of the shifters are a
mounted compass. Gas and brake pedals are custom-made quick-change
gears that were cut in half. The dash was fully redone as well and
features the original instrument gauge. The odometer shows 83,116
miles (not actual) and has additional smaller gauges inside for
amp, temp, oil, and fuel. Above and below the dash are welded bike
chains that run to each side of the dash. The seats were also
custom made to look like an old restraint bed from an Asylum,
finished in brown that have jack supports behind them that are
adjustable. In the rear on the upper deck above the gas tank, there
is a levitating rear light bulb display. And the floors were made
to look like wood plank from a ship.
Obviously, you've probably never seen another Willys like this. The
consignor had a specific look he was going for when he built this.
He wanted something that no one else had. We think he nailed it!
The exterior has a full custom paint that consists of black and
finished with brushed bronze. The copper that runs from the rear,
top, and front are welded in and fully operates the air ride
system. The exterior door handles are painted bronze and fully
operate. Up top, we have a fully open roof panel that has a
removable canvas top (they just button in). Lastly, there is an
anemometer atop that measures how fast the vehicle is going and is
relayed to the driver inside by a fixed speedometer. Upgraded front
LED lights and the rear has LED bar running lights.
Jumping up front to the engine, we have a Chevy 350 5.7L V8
(3970010) mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. It has a
custom painted air cleaner that was taken from a Cadillac and sits
on top of the Brawler double pumper. It has a Victor Jr Edelbrock
intake manifold that provides maximum performance for the engine.
Additional features include dual side exit headers that are wrapped
with heat shield, fuel PSI gauge, and a coolant reserve tank. It
has QA1 shocks, full airbag system for front and rear and red
Speedway brake calipers. The Willys rolls on Fuel Gripper M/T tires
with 33x12.50R18LT up front and 40x15.50R24LT's on the rear and
custom bronze rims from Black Rhino Raze.
