This has nothing to do with jeeps, but Steve forwarded it thinking I might like it.  I did.  I figured some of you would too.

According to the attached text of the email, “Check this out… a hand-formed all-aluminum Willys Coupe! It’s amazing what some people can do with an English rolling wheel, sheet metal brake and a lot of skill and knowledge. No, he is not going to paint it.  I love the polished flames!  It’s got the right stuff under the hood, too! The hood scoop has yet to be installed in the photo below (Look closely). This is Walt Austin’s aluminum Willys coupe at Jim Hume’s shop, south of Bellingham , Washington.”

Aluminum Flattie on Bronco Chassis Prescott, AZ **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.

Here’s an aluminum flattie body on a modified Ford Bronco chassis.  As I mentioned in a post last week, the vented hoods are very rare.  I’m not sure if that’s aluminum or steel.

“Unique aluminum bodied CJ2 Jeep. This is a professionally built for off road, but very streetable CJ2. It is a real eye catcher. It features a highly modified 1974 Bronco chassis with 4 wheel disc brakes, dual master cylinders, urethane bushings, power steering, trans. cooler, power steering cooler, etc. It sits on, like new, 35X10X15 Goodyears. Power is supplied by a fresh 351w ford with edelbroch manifold and newly rebulit edelbrock 4 barrel, connected to a modified c-4 trans.and headers. It is an older construction, but is done right! I prefer cash, but will consider a trade for a nice cj or wrangler or ? and cash. ”

It’s cool, but it’s a CJ-3A not CJ-3B.

“CJ3B Aluminum one of a kind.  Pictures speak for themselves. POLISHED aluminum…  Detailed replica of CJ3B flat fender…  Aftermarket AFW frame.  I acquired this Jeep CJ3B through a long history and I just do not have the time to complete the project. My loss your gain… The original fabrication cost of the body and frame is over $12,000.  Motor mounts are for a Chevy 350, or Vortec V6, Buick v6 etc… 44 difs no gears.  The wheels and rims pictured may not come with the vehicle… very scratched rims etc… not worthy of this show piece.  Price is $8,500 negotiable, motivated to sell in 2009.”
