UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

(12/17/2010) This looks like a nice rebuild.

“51 Willys Jeep totally stock running gear completely rebuilt and replaced from the pressure plate to the tips of the axles. 3 speed transmission, transfer case and both axles have been completely gone through and rebuilt with 11″ brakes added and firewall mounted brake pedal. I have $4000 worth of receipts from Back Country Products for the running gear rebuild. This Jeep is all about Nostalgia. The motor is a 1955 Corvette 265 small block Chevy – very rare only 700 Corvettes built in 1955. This motor NEVER HEATS UP even in our hottest weather, wish I could say that of the street rods I have built. With an Enos wiring kit, batt relocated in the rear, nice 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, Corvette chromium yellow paint, a black and white striped bikini top and you begin to see this thing is for show and go. 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 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 thing draws as much attention as my street rods (had two motorcycle cops pull along side and talk Jeeps at a stop light today). This thing pulled the Bonanza High School freshman float at their homecoming this year. I am out of room and want to go off roading with my son and his rock crawler, my wife won’t lend me her Toyota Four Runner for such foolishness. It would be a sin to cut this up into a rock crawler. While it will do off road anthing and more a 51 Willy was designed for I am looking for a more aggresive off road rig and just can’t bring myself to start with such a beauty that is doing what is was built to do. Asking $5800 or trade for more aggressive off road vehicle or a Polaris Sportsman EFI. I don’t have to sell and I don’t have junk so don’t even go there with your offers. Don’t tell my grand kids… boy am I in trouble. Serious persons can call Gene 702-379-3980

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

This looked pretty good until I saw the paint job on the engine.  It looks like someone just painted the engine, with all parts attached.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $3000

(11/10/2010) For $3000, given all the upgrades, this appears to be a good price.
