• CATEGORIES: CJ5, Unusual • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“What we have here is a 1958 Hillman Husky body mounted on a Jeep CJ5 chassis.  It has won awards at The Street Rod Nationals, Lead East, and The Adirondack Nationals.  It has been featured on “My Classic Car” with Dennis Gage on Speed Channel this past fall.  It is powered by a 231  CI  Buick “odd-Fire” V6.  It is equipped with headers, MSD Ignition, aluminum radiator, and electric fan.  It has a serious cam in it, and has been built to handle 150HP Nitrous shots.  No engine bay modifications where made…it was engineered to fit, and looks like it could have been factory.  It has a 3 speed manual transmission from the CJ.  With manual locking front hubs, the 4 wheel drive is functional.  A few other chassis features are, Dana 44 ‘s  differentials (rear has locker),  Rancho Suspension,  front disc brakes, rear drums, master cylinder and power booster mounted on the frame rail.  Everything under the car is painted and detailed.  Body was painted while completely apart with base coat/clear coat solid orange and white.  The interior is from the Hillman, and was custom stitched in black roll and pleat with orange piping and seatbelts.  All interior panels, carpets, headliner, dash, was all done as well.  It has a start button, directional lever on the dash in front of the tilt steering column, and am/fm/cd with remote.  The glass, seals, tail lights, and door rubber was all replaced.  Speedo does not work.  Everything else does.”

1946 Ford Bus — Trade for your Willys? Tijeras, Nm

• CATEGORIES: Unusual This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

It looks rough, but is kind of cool, too.

“1946 FORD School Bus, originally a 20 (I think) passenger, converted to a RV in the fifties now used for storage. They tell me that the motor is a Canadian block Mercury. I drove and parked it here when I moved to the east mountains in 1998. It has never been wrecked, the front clip is perfect. No radiator. Pictures available on request. Actually I will post some pictures as soon as I can. IT DOES NOT RUN
$5000 505-286-2923 ask for Dennis

I might consider a trade for a roller I can make a hot rod out of ………….
A fifties coupe… a V8 Vega… an Anglia… a 40’s Willys (I’m dreaming)
