Vehicle Description
For most of us the classic car world is about standing out with
some attitude, and it doesn't get more custom or unique than this.
After all a 1947 Willys Wagon is already going to draw a crowd, but
when its been fully custom built with a performance V8, four-wheel
disc brakes, and an A/C interior with every comfort imaginable,
then you will always be the coolest custom everywhere you go.
The handsome, upright wagon body says Jeep as loudly as any modern
CJ, and it's a familiar the world over. But this icon is instantly
recognizable as a fully built classic. There was plenty invested in
the Torch Red paint alone that gives this nearly 70-year old steel
a healthy does of modern luster and shine. The gloss does a great
job of highlighting all the ribbed details that came in the panel
stamping (they were originally for strength, but now just increase
the cool factor,) and it even helps hide the Radio Flyer ghost
script on the side. It's the first time, but not the last reference
that this is the perfect adult-sized little red wagon. The old and
new world styles combine nicely on the brightwork where the grille,
bumper, and cursive Willys scripts combine nicely with the
competition style alloy wheels and bright side exhaust tips.
This custom attitude is heightened even further on the inside with
comfortable leather bucket seats, a center console with cup
holders, and rear benches that also have the full Willys-Overland
logo embossed over the paneling. And that's only what you see in
the first impression...there's so much more as you keep going.
You'll sit behind a cool banjo-style wheel with wood rim, and
beyond that are a full set of Classic Instruments gauges. While
this might look vintage, the controls for the AM/FM/CD/XM stereo
system, DVD player, and ice-cold air conditioning remind you that
there was some serious investment in keeping this classic full of
modern conveniences. You even get a backup camera on that
flatscreen above the rear view mirror!
But your favorite upgrade starts under the hood. Just like the air
cleaner says, this is 400 cubic-inch Radial Flyer (well ok, it's
really a Chevy). The level of detail in the engine bay is amazing.
Classic Mickey Thompson valve covers, steel braided hoses, tidy
wires, and plenty of polished components will likely win award all
on their own, but beneath this is some serious power. The 400 V8
actually has a bored .30 over kit to deliver big block displacement
in a small block package. Plus the performance intake, four-barrel
carb, and the glasspack exhaust give this plenty of bark and bite.
The four-speed overdrive transmission has full control over this
powerful package, but just like the rest of this custom built,
that's far from the only modern upgrade. It now has the comfort of
an independent front suspension borrowed from a Dodge Dakota, and
the Mopar also donated the Chrysler rear end. Plus, power steering,
four-wheel disc brakes, and the modern grip of Goodyear Eagle GTII
tires make this the easy choice for an anytime cruiser.
This is a full custom build with rarity, power, and every feature
you could want. You'll make people smile just by showing up, and
this will make you smile every time you turn the key. It's easy to
get everything you want, just call today!
