UPDATE: Now on eBay
(09/28/2011) This has a variety of updates.
“Completely rewired with an Enos wiring kit, batt relocated in the rear, great bucket seats up front with driver seat adjustable so any size person can drive comfortably (I’m a big guy)
a custom rear bench seat with 3 sets of lap belts for the Grand kids. Given Corvette chromium yellow paint, a black and white striped bikini top this little jeep has a show stopper attitude. In 6 years since this project was completed. I have put exactly 512 miles on it. All hauling kids over to 7-11 for slurpees – well its not far to 7-11.
Always garage kept and never once yet taken off road, that ‘s why it looks the way it does today.
If you don’t want to have people point and stare this is not for you. This jeep draws as much attentionas my street rods. Its so sweet the kids used it to pulled the Bonanza High School freshman float at their homecoming this year. I want to go off roading with my son and his rock crawler. It would be a sin to cut this up into a rock crawler.
Jeep 51 Willys totally stock running gear completely rebuilt and replaced from the pressure plate to the tips of the new Warn hubs. 3 Speed T-90 transmission, T-18 transfer case and both Dana 44 axles have been completely gone through and rebuilt with new bearings and seal. 11″ brakes were added and fireawall mounted brake pedal new gas tank and gauges. I have $4000 worth of receipts from Back Country Products for the running gear rebuild. The motor is a 1955 Corvette 265 small block Chervy – very rare only 700 Corvettes built in 1955.
Lot of notalgia with this one. Edellbrock 650 4BBl carberator with automatic choke, Malloy coil and distrilbutor, this thing starts quick and purrs like a kitten. This motor NEVER HEATS UP even in our hottest weather, wish I could say that of the street rods I have builts.Serious person can call Brian 714-608-2330”
