“Willys sand toy. 406 sbc 502hp paddle tires.”
Still needs a little work.
“Registered as a 1952 Willys. All fiberglass, Locked Ford 9in., Automatic Transmission, 427 Big Block Chevy (approx. 450hp), nitrous kit available, Full cage built for 3 people attached to the frame, New drive shafts, etc. The Jeep has not seen sand since 2008. I had a new T18 transfer case put in it in 2012 as well as having the rest of the drivetrain inspected. It does not currently run. The fuel lines, battery and driveshafts need to be installed. The seats are weathered but actually new. I have never driven it with these seats installed. The Super Swampers and Mickey Thompsons are no longer on the Jeep, It will be sold with 32×11.50×15 BFG All Terrains on aluminum wheels. I am willing to negotiate but do not come at me with some ridiculously low ball offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Dan’s got this racer for sale.
“This is a heavily modified and lightened 1972 Jeep Commando Racing Jeep. Full roll cage. It had an engine/transmission swap now sporting a LQ4 Chevy V8 Iron block w/ aluminum heads and a 4L80E transmission adapted to the Dana 300 transmission. Engine/transmission/wire harness/Computer came out of a running 2001 Silverado HD 2500 with 80000 miles on it. 4.10 welded differentials. Corvette radiator, fuel cell, exhaust, transmission shield, suspension seat come with the jeep. Need the electrical done, fuel line run, shocks, and tires. I am pretty sure brakes work but have not tested them yet. I was building it up for short track offroad racing (See cc4w.org) but ran out of time and work has gotten too busy for this season and so i bought another racing jeep. Have $6500 into it so far and will finish it if no one offers a reasonable amount. I’ll settle for $5000 to give me garage space and to see it go into another racer’s hands. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,000.

It is a very comfortable ride….but if you don’t like attention at the dunes, then this jeep is not for you.
You wont be disappointed!!!….and then you light the wick…guaranteed smile for days. Selling only because hobbies have changed and jeep getting used less and less. Time for somebody else to enjoy the adrenaline rush in the dunes…better have a good ticker.”

This racing jeep is for sale. It has been in storage for quite some time ,but fired right up and will be a killer start for someone looking to get into the racing game. Back in the day it was built by a guy in Ellington CT named Mel Sherette of Mels Auto Body. At the time he was mopping up all kinds of big bad V8s with this Jeep and Im sure with a little work it still will. Built Buick 231V6 W/Turbo 400 ,Dana 44s ,Desert Dogs and a set of Paddles. Lots and lots of custom work done to this jeep . Willys pick up or wagon front tilt clip molded to a home made cj type rear body . Full cage and harnesses . Kinda old school vintage racer dual points and all but could be a real killer with a few modern updates . Would be right at home on short tracks ,courses ,sand drags ,hillclimbs , or would be a great candidate for some ice racing . I will be happy to supply detailed pics to anyone interested . $4500 OBO
