“You are looking at a one of a kind custom Rat Rod build with all new parts and done right. The truck has been in my family for years as a stock truck. After sitting in a shed covered for years it was time to pull it out and do something cool and different. The entire truck was stripped and all new parts were ordered. The cab roof was chopped 7″ and the main body was sectioned 4″ to give it a real low mean look. The top roof was removed and replaced with a flat hinged roor that can be opened up to 5” in the rear for air movement and looks. The bed was shortened 1.5′. The frame was built on a jig out of 3/16 2×4 tube “z’ed” front and rear to give the truck a bit over 8″ gound clearance. Listed below are the specs on the truck and I have pictures from the day the build began to the very end if you are interested. This truck was built as a rat rod with all new parts and it was built right. Please ask any questions you may have this thing is a head turner people stop me everytime I drive it! Thanks!

This is one nice wagon.
“a friend that started Fujimo in the mid 80’s passed away and i purchased it and finished it. it has had 4 engines a 283,350 ,400 and now a 383 stroker. it has a rack and pinion mustang 2 with disc brakes for a front end. 383 stroker motor connected to a 350 turbo with a 3200 stall converter. top has been chopped approx 4 inches and top of roof stands at apptox 67 inches. car was shown with great sucess in the early 90’s. fujimo was driven and not a trailer queen. he was retired in 1996 and placed in air conditioned storage.. he was taken out approx 5 months ago and sent to an old nascar mechanic in georgia. valves that had become noisy in storage were adjusted, transmission whose seals had dried out was completele rebuilt and cooling system was redoone including new larger radiator, new waterpump and electric cooling fan and larger fan blade was installed. clear coat had a couple of bubbles in it so fujimo was taken down to bear metal and new graphics and coat of yellow paint was applied, new carpet was also installed . old diamond pattern upholstory has a few minor stains but it was decided to leave it alone. considered installing an aftermarket SUV rack for the surfboard but decided against it. It would probably cost over one hundred thou to reproduce this vehicle. have invested over 15,000 since coming out of storage. I am 78 years old so it’s time for my old friend to go to a new home.”
UPDATE: **Status unknown** Was $22,500.

(09/30/2012) Those rear wheels are pretty small.
“55 willys rat rod make offer (805) 423_1350 may trade ”

(02/08/2012) I think I have seen this elsewhere, but can’t quite place it.
“RAT ROD PICK UP TRUCK, RATROD 4; CHOP TOP 9; CHANNEL DUAL EXHAUST NEW TIRES MUST SEE.6500 OR TRADE AND CASH”
I can’t say I’ve seen a double barrel shotgun shifter. This does need a little work.
“Up for sale is a 1951 Willys Wagon with a newer rebuilt Chevy 283 motor with a 350 trans, runs real well. Wagon has custom exhaust, vintage octogon wooden sterring wheel, new tires, great brakes, all lights work, custom double barrel shotgun shifter, with the original BLACK License plates! Wagon was lowered 3 inches and has a real nice stance. Interior is all there but will evenutally need some updating, has original bench seat, with a slot in the back for another one, original wood paneling on the floor, and gauges. Windows have some cracks but i think it adds charecter seeing they are all original, windows go up and down as they should but are a bit tight. Doors both open but will need some work to get them to open, close, and lock as they should, all pretty standard for a car thats 60 years old. Only rust spot is right below the drivers side cowel, no other rust noted. The bottom was completly sprayed with undercoat protectant POR 54, the car really looks clean and O have yet to see antother one on the road.
Overall runs really well, hits 65 mph on the freeway no problem and will run all day, no overheating what so ever. She leaks oil as all old cars do but nothing out of the ordinary, it does have slight blowby coming out of the valve cover vents, needs a PCV valve installed.
I have the hood and the front fenders and they will come with the car, they will need to be extended about 5 inches to fit the front end again due to extending the front grill to install an aftermarket electric fan. Easy work and can be done at any metal fab shop.
Want a car that turns heads every day, this is the one. Would make a killer surf wagon or beach crusier!
Looking for $6,900.00 obo or trades worth the same value, possibly a little up or down. Not looking for an car or truck newer than 1970 unless its a muscle car, prefer running and street legal with all documents. Vintage motorcylces are a possibility.
I have the pink.
Please no junk and no lowball offers. I have pleanty of pics. shoot me an offer and or email me with questions, leave a phone number and I will call you right back!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,500.
This looks well done.
