For most of us the classic car world is about standing out with some attitudeand#44; and it doesnt get more custom or unique than this. After all a 1947 Willys Wagon is already going to draw a crowdand#44; but when its been fully custom built with a performance V8and#44; four-wheel disc brakesand#44; and an A/C interior with every comfort imaginableand#44; then you will always be the coolest custom everywhere you go. The handsomeand#44; upright wagon body says Jeep as loudly as any modern CJand#44; and its 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 strengthand#44; but now just increase the cool factorand#44;) and it even helps hide the Radio Flyer ghost script on the side. Its the first timeand#44; 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 grilleand#44; bumperand#44; 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 seatsand#44; a center console with cup holdersand#44; and rear benches that also have the full Willys-Overland logo embossed over the paneling. And thats only what you see in the first impression...theres so much more as you keep going. Youll sit behind a cool banjo-style wheel with wood rimand#44; and beyond that are a full set of Classic Instruments gauges. While this might look vintageand#44; the controls for the AM/FM/CD/XM stereo systemand#44; DVD playerand#44; 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 saysand#44; this is 400 cubic-inch Radial Flyer (well okand#44; its really a Chevy). The level of detail in the engine bay is amazing. Classic Mickey Thompson valve coversand#44; steel braided hosesand#44; tidy wiresand#44; and plenty of polished components will likely win award all on their ownand#44; 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 intakeand#44; four-barrel carband#44; and the glasspack exhaust give this plenty of bark and bite. The four-speed overdrive transmission has full control over this powerful packageand#44; but just like the rest of this custom builtand#44; thats far from the only modern upgrade. It now has the comfort of an independent front suspension borrowed from a Dodge Dakotaand#44; and the Mopar also donated the Chrysler rear end. Plusand#44; power steeringand#44; four-wheel disc brakesand#44; 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 rarityand#44; powerand#44; and every feature you could want. Youll make people smile just by showing upand#44; and this will make you smile every time you turn the key. Its easy to get everything you wantand#44; just call today! |
